t is s&id that “Can" Joiner

In rxchangs very truthfully as¬

Jones county farmers^™ busy
making preparations for another

they will attend to this important
matter.
The Kditors of the two Mil*
ledgoville papers are having a lit¬
tle just dispute all to themselves.
Tut, tut, hoj*, Ist.the candidates

The assertion that the fruit crop
issaft is altogether premature. If
it surtives the cold weather it will
then be safe and not until th )»,
the opinions of the "wiBo onea"
to th*contrary notwithstanding.
The Milledgcville Nuws is of the
opinion that the present cum-
paigu affords a good opportunity
lor the making of big and success¬
ful daily newspaper m Ueorgia—
A fearless, independent but con¬
servative paper to print political
and all other news like it really
is, without«any embellishment or
^xag^ratiou.
Macon is making a pull for tho
fcitate Couvonliou this year, and
why not? She is not only central¬
ly located—convenient to every
section of tho state—but h*s “
largo auditorium and is neutral
ground for all the candidates who
have offered for Governor. Heres
hoping that tho Convention will
comn to Macon.
The little family fond iu tho
office of the Atlanta News is an
unfortunate affair. It mutters
not which way the trouble is set¬
tled by the courts- there will be
that lacking of spirit of unity and
^friendship necessary for the suc¬
cess of any undertaking. It
■trikes m that the best thing to
do is fur the stockholders to dis¬
place General Manager Daniel and
^ilace a more congenial and fair
Vpudodintn in lus position.

tbe sphere of our school, uro now
endeavoring to give to the public
some ideas of the work and
improvements in the different de-
partments of the college.
Of nil tfi so dHpariinetilti
is not one at which we uro more
proud than of the library.
in the* past year through the gen-
erosity of our many friends wo
have been enabled to enlarge it
and to make many additions here
and there, winch have added
ly to its general worth and ap-
pea ranee. It* situation has been
changed somewhat, and now with
windows toward the eastern skies,
the view is an ideally beautiful
one. A pretty stretch of country
broken by long lines of lulls, dot¬
ted here and there by an oak-
grove, or a clump of pine trees
mates a restful picture, and U'ith
an occasional liny white cottage,
set in a plot of green, with a back
ground of the beautiful blue of
the skies tho landscape is com¬
plete. We are fortunate in hav-
ing tins hit of rustic scenery . to
look out upon because it speaks to
us very forcibly of the good and
the beautiful, and it mouses
our hearts a sense of appreciation
for overy enabling, elevating
thought our great authors library give us,
The interior of the is
fitting complement toall this out-
side beauty. A color scheme of
green and gold is very effectively
carried out in the walls and in the
ceilings and harmoniously accords
with tho walnut furnishings in the
way of chairs, tables ana book
cases.
We have in the library every
needed reference book on histoiy,
science, art, music, philosophy
and literature, together with u
large number of standard works
in fiction, und a great many ol
ilie newer books. For tho clnssi-
fiication of these bookB the Dmvey
Decimal system has recently been
adopted. This is one of the most
noted systems in tlio world. It
is used in tlio Itostou 1 ub.ic Lt-
brary, the Congressional Library
at Washington City, and in all
tho Carnegie Libraries, For
catnloguoing tho book*we use the
card system, which, though not
generally used in libraries is one
adopted- by prominent business
men. It has an advantage over
the printed catalogue in that each
new book placed iu the Jibrury
has its single caul made out and
placed separately on tho file, wher
us the printed catalogue must be
revised on tbe addition of any
new book.
Thirty of the best, standard
magazines couib to the library by
moans of which tho students tire
enabled to keep in close touch
with modern arts and literat ure.
In addition to these wa have
religious papers, not only of Go >r-
gin, but of other neighboring
states, also the representative
daily papers of the stale which
keep the Undent* posted in regard
to the public and religious word,
\lnder the skillful management
of Miss Amos, the librarian, our
library is becoming better *y»-
temijed every day, while by the
means of the generous eontribu-
tion* of the golden-hearted people
of Georgia and ttie sister stales,
wo are making improvements,
which in time,will result in our
having one of the best arranged

We arc delighted to see these
bright days after the
days and “juicy weather’’ of
the past few weeks.
Our people regretted very much
indeed to give up the very efficient
lady principal of our school, Miss
Emma Pritchard of Atlanta. She
resigned her position on account
ol her health—a breakdown from
overwork. She was certainly a
most faithful teacher and gave
perfect satisfaction. The trustees
were exceedingly fortunate in se¬
curing Rev T W Eihs, who
recently Located here, to fill the
vacancy.
Wn are delighted to have
Cussie \Vhiteli.-ad with us again
as assistant teacher. She has
