86 PUPILS THE FIRST WEEK
Our School Leads This Section of the
State.
The Carnesville High School under
the management of Prof. Morgan 11.
Looney, has opened up under most
favorable auspices. Monday morn¬
ing was a beautiful morning, and tin
large crowd that gathered to hear the
opening lecture in the court house
was an index to the widespread in¬
terest that is being taken m the
school. 1 he lecture or outline oi
how the school would be conducted

the host that has ever bmm given m
t:ii* section, and the nous of app; oval
from parents were seen on
hand. Prof. Looney showed him. ch
master of his calling, ami the town
and entire section are to be cnmrr.V
ulated on seeming his services. It
is fortunate to lie classed aiming the
best teachers of the country, but to
lie classed a3 the best cdncaUii hi t!i“
state is better, and this is the rank
that Morgan Looney takes. Teach¬
ers who wish to study up oil special
branches would do well to attend
Prof. Looney’s school, as it i* much
cheaper than going to college. There
are many teachers already in attend¬
ance that are taking advantagejof
of this difference iu cost. Our people
have made up their minds to have
the bed school in this section of the
state, and they expect to see the
number of pupils reach higher each
week until we have nearer two hun¬
dred than one hundred. The next
issuo of Tin: E-Ntkki’iuse, if the
weather permits, will show that the
number has already passed a hun¬
dred.

Tho nominees in Madison county
overwhelmed the independents in the
recent elections.
The voters of Floyd county de¬
cided that Captain Corput wanted
too much brokerage on his mules.
If General Gordon gets into the
United States senate this time it will
be a tight squeeze, from present in-
dioutions.
The Atlanta Journal is a strong
supporter of the Farmers’ Alliance,
but it is just as strong for Gordon
for the senate.
The next legislature i\ill be. com¬
posed largely of alliancemen. Over
two-thirds of the members are said
to belong to the order.
lion. R. II. Jackson, who was the
first president of tho Georgia Alli¬
ance, is a member of the next house
of representatives. lie represents
Heard county.
There lias been a convention of the
Jeffersonians in the Fifth congres¬
sional district to put out a candidate
against Livingston for congress. It
meets to-morrow at Atlanta.
Col. L. F. Livingston has gone to
North Carolina, where he has been
invited to make some political
speeches. He will also go to Kansas
before he returns for the same pur¬
pose.

The chief aim of the Atlanta Con¬
stitution seems to be the electing of
its so-called managing editor to the
speakership of the next legislature.
He may get it, but be is paying dr ar'y
for it.
Some of the republicans of the
north are congratulating the negro
Langston, of Virginia, on his success
in obtaining a seat in congress, and
advising him to stir up strife among
the negrfies and whites in other
places, and to put his race in power
if possible.
Felix Corput was defeated for rep¬
resentative in Floyd county, lie
says, however, that he will contest
for the seat before the General
sc-mbly when it meets. .Mr. CorputV

Tin* October number of Jlclford’s
Magazine contains an article from .1.
I., McWhorter, of Atlanta, under
the Lead of “States (lights vs. Cen¬
tralization.” Mr. McWhorter was
formerly of this comity, having at¬
tended school at Carnesville in lnsg
and 1883 under Prof. L. K. Rurmss.
His class mates and many other
friends w ill bo glad to know that his
ability has been recognized by one of
the leading magazines of the
Mr. McWhorter’s classmates, one of
which is the waiter, distinctly remem¬
bers his indomitable pluck and extra¬
ordinary brilliancy, and in behalf of
the class we congratulate him on his
success. Mr. McWhorter is now
practicing law in the city of Atlanta.
Eastanallcc Notes.
Everything is quiet since the elec¬
tion, as regards politics.
The late rains did considerable
damage to crops. Corn in low lands
was overflown and washed down, and
i; mtoii almost completely ruined,
the most of it rottening.

The Habersham Alliance has en¬

gan for another year. It remains to
be seen what the Franklin county
Alliance will do.
Trouble is brewing between Toccoa
cotton merchants and the fanners as
regards the public weigher. The
farmers asked the mayor and council
for a public weigher and S. J. Husha
was appointed. The merchants ob¬
jected to him, which lead to his resig¬
nation. The merchants expressed a
willingness for I). H. Hayes to till the
position, he was appointed, and now
they are kicking at him. The farm¬
ers are taking steps to sustain Mr.
Hayes, as he is an honest, upright
man, and one that will do justice to
both seller and buyer. If the mer¬
chants continue to kick they w ill kick
themselves out of the present crop.
Our farmers are not to be trifled
with any longer. If they cannot get
justice at Toccoa they will either ship
their cotton to the Alliance Exchange
or find a market on the Elberton
railroad. It seems that it is hard for
some peojile to settle down and be¬
lieve the farmer only wants justice
at the hands of those with whom
they deal with. They pay exhorliitant
prices to the merchant for
bought of them--weighed or meas¬

OUR SCHOOL.
The people of Carnesville and vi¬
cinity have shown their appreciation
of our ability ns an educator, and
their confidence in our character as a
gentleman, by the nunilier of pupils
sent in to our school. We have an
attendance umvwitodly large for the
size of the place and the season of
the year. Young gentlemen arc
here of scholarly mien and courtly
manners pursuing their studies under
our direction and care. Young la-,
dies arc here of attractive form and
features, of amiable manners, and of
the winning grace of gentle breed¬
ing, vying with the young men in the
same pursuit, bringing feminine
charm < to masculine studies. Here
are bright-eyed boys and girls
already anxious to twine around their
brows such garlands of hope and
promise as the labor of the school
room, vouchsafes to the ambition of
students.
We delight to instruct them, to
enjoy their society, and tu renew the
dreams of vouth in their genial
smiles, their bounding sphits, and

Let it be remembered that every task
imposed, every lesson incub ated, and
every warning given will be a blessed
accumulation of profit to them in
years to come. Let these assurances
on our part meet with a hearty con¬
currence on the part of our pupils,
and the success of our school is
already foreshadowed and secured.
With tin* present flattering prospects
and auspicious omens we can not.

WILL F. WHITE.
The genial editor of the Shoal
Creek JCvho has passed away. H«-
has folded Lis hands from their labor
and gone to rest among the wliito-
sleepers on the silent hill.
When such men as Will White die
is a sad wail on the common
air, the very sunlight is sheathed,
and the murmuring waters sing a
mournful requiem amid the scenes
that he so lately blessed with his
buoyant life and sunny presence. As
an editor he was piquant, brilliant,
humorous, and witty. Hut to his
honor be it said that never did he
seek to wound the feelings of his
most humble coteniporaries in (die
field of journalism. His polished
shafts of wit were never barbed with
iron dipped in poison. While he de¬
lighted in piercing the vulnerable
mail of bigotry, selfsuffieiency, and
blatant folly, yet he carefully avoided
giving offense by any word that
could be construed into personality,
He is gone, and wo mourn for
loss from our circle, as we
mourn for these w ho are near and
dear to us by the ties of a beloved
kinship. What though his name had
not traveled far into foreign climes
to gather around it the buzz of fame!
What though his wine of life had not
sparkled in golden cups amid the
splendors of metropolitan salons!
We know that his spirit was loyal to
the genuine grace of goodness, and
his heart beat with as noble a pulse
as ever .winged the ruby current
through the veins of a hero, a patriot,
or a philanthropist. And we know
that many a man in the confined
arena of his home lias displayed
courage beyond any that ’'istory
emblazoned, and a goodness equal to
.any that the church has ever exalted.
We would seek out the place
the late flowers bloom, that wo
twine a garland to place on the
of our friend. Peace to the now
sainted soul and repose to the fine
and holy dust of tho warm-hearted
and bright-minded editor of the
Cra'k Echo.
To find contents of a bucket: If an
ordinary tin bucket, cylindrical iu
form is given, multiply the square
the diameter of one end by one-third
of the height, taken in inches, inside
measure, and mark off two figures to
the right. This will approximate tho
answer very nearly. To get. the ex¬
act answer in gallons, multiply square
of diameter by 34, and mark off four
figures. If a common water bucket
is given, multiply half the square of
the two diameters by one-third of
the height (inside measure taken in
inches) and mark off two figures to
the right.

WONDERFUL <THES.
Atlanta, Ga., .fan. 2, ’'.Mb
Fix months ago, at, the request of
a friend who was interested in the
sale of King’s Royal Germetucr, I
made a w ritten statement of the ben-
efits I had received from the use of
that medicine. In that statement I
expressed the belief that it would
cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within
the last two months I have received
letters from every quarter of the na¬
tion calling on me for further infor¬
mation in regard to my health. It
has been impossible for me to write
privately to each person wlio lias
made this request, and I am there¬
fore under the necessity of making
another statement.
1 am free from Catarrh. Ibeleive
that I could get a certificate to this
effect from any competent physi¬
cian. I have used no medicine with¬
in the last six months except King’s
Royal Gormetncr. My health is bet¬
ter than it lias been in thirty years.
I am iu posession of information
which warrants me in saying that the
relief which I have experienced from
the use of the medicine is not more
certain and radical than that which
it has brought to hundreds of per¬
sons in and other States.
I feel it to be in_v duty to say, al¬
so, that the effects of this remedy
upon my wife have been even more
signal and wonderful. She has been
almost a life-long invalid from Ner¬
vous Headache, Neuralgia and rheu¬
matism. In a period of thirty years
she has scarcely had a day’s exemption
from pain. She lias been using Ger-
metucr about two months. A more
complete transformation I have MOV-
witnessed. Every symptom of
disease lias disappeared. She aji-
pears to be twenty years younger,
and is as happy and playful as a
healthy child. We have persuaded
many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is a great remedy.
