Anything you want your boy or girl to learn that is taught in a Geor¬ gia college, you would do well to send them to Carnesville. Prof. M. II. Looney stands at the top among Georgia's educators. Teachers who arc deficient in cer¬ tain branches of their calling would do well to put themselves under Prof. Looney’s charge for a while. He is especially suited for this work hav¬ ing taught so long, and being master of every tiling that is taught. Examination of Teachers. By order of the State Commissioner I will examine teachers of public schools on Saturday, the 20th of De eeinber, 1890. The examination will l»e held in the court room at Carnes¬ ville, and will begin at 8 o’clock, a. m., and close at sunset, There will be but one day’s examination. Teach¬ ers who do do not conic on that day need not apply at all. This Dec. 3, 1890. J. S. Dortch, C. S. C. Dr. Underwood Sick. Dr. T. G.

Ilog killing, wheat sowing, and general winding-up of the year's bus¬ iness is the order of the day, but a great many are falling far short and failing to make ends meet—all occa¬ sioned either by misfortune, short crops, or bad management. But let that be as it may. All should profit by it and improve upon it through next year. Heed the advice of Davy Crockett, “Be sure you are right then go ahead.” There is a spirit of enterprise on some of our citizens. Many new buildings are going up. l’romiucnt among the builders are J. C. and S. W. Moseley, M. B. Crawford, and T. L. Hayes. Sumpter it Rotliell are running a saw mill near hero. They are doing a lucrative business. Besides having bills to till for many private parties, they have one to till for the Toecoa Furniture Manufacturing Company for one million feet of lumber, to be cut and delivered at the company's at Toecoa. Candidates! Candidates! They have been almost as numerous as the Egyptian plagues. They have been around to see the dear people. Their claims are all just, and all deserve the office for which they are running. After listening to them all I could but sigh because I could not vote for them all, for they are clever and de¬ serving, and for aught I know they need help. But 1 cannot vote for all, and my conclusions are, we need more offices to fill to give all a chance, or fewer aspirants. Should I conclude to run for office, I have no claims on the people. I shall ask for the office purely for the sake of the money there is in it. 1 am thinking ot running for the next C. S. Senatorship, and shall cover up the many war scars I carry about this old frame of mine. 1 want no sympathy for what I have done in the past, but let the dead past bury the past. The claim that the Alliance has been defeated in Gordon's election is groundless. Gordon made some blunders. He has seen his error and turned from 1 lie evil of Ids ways, and he will be a better man in the future than in the past. All that has been said and done in the campaign has been a lesson to teach him that he must serve and abide the decision of the people who elected him. lie will he more economical and live on less than he did when lie claimed the five thousand dollars would not support him. Has not this principle of econ¬ omy been taught him by the Alli¬ ance ? Gov. Xorthen is putting in some good licks, and surely the sober class of our people will receive a respect¬ able hearing under his administra¬ tion, when lie commands the drunk¬ ards to stand back. Speaking of candidates and office¬ holders, none in our county has stepped down and out who has better tilled the office intrusted to them than L. J. Greene, who will soon retire from the office of Tax Collector. He lias filled the office with honor to the people and credit to himself, and the people will only let Him rest a little while when they will bid him come up higher and occupy a seat in one corner of the court house when Judge McKenzie has served his second term. Good men should always be recognized and rewarded for what they can and will do. So mote it be. My name is composed of 20. 10. 10. AVALON. II. D. Yow was in Carncsville T uesday.

Wc think a few words in re- gard to its present status and future prospects will not be out of place in this column of the Entkukkisk at the present time. Vo opened on the first Monday in October, and, consul- ering the time i»f year and the size of our town, the success of the school is universally admitted to be phe- nomcnnl. W c enrolled 77 pupils the first day. There have been eon- tinual accessions from week to week. until now after two months of teach- ing we have on our roll-book names. .Among tlicin there are about 7)0 grown young ladies and gentlemen. We have three classes in ()rthographv (Dictionary) aggregating 70 pupils, iiosides the primaries with charts and spelling-books. We have over 100 in reading, from the sixth reader down to the first. We have at least 77» in Grammar and Geography, and near DO in Arithmetic. We have pupils in Robison’s, Davies’, and Sandford’s Algebras. We have them in Greek ami .... Latin from Xenophon .. , and ( icero down to the grammars and readers, We have several in Geometry, Rhetoric, and Natural Philosophy. We think, as a general thing, our pupils are doing well, As an ew- . deuce of our faith in their we intend to devote the Inst day of the session (December 24th) to a public examination at the court-house hall. And we hereby invite patrons and friends of the school, and the public generally, to he present and see for themselves whether or not the time in school for three months has been well employed. Each par¬ ent or guardian can then see for him¬ self what his own especial charges have done in the way of learning. For this there will be no packing and cramming, but the usual exercises at school will continue to the 2fil'd of I Jecember. The good order of the school lias. in the main, commended itself to the citizens of ... the town amt , viemitv. . . . • 1 aking into the account the new- ness of the school under its present management, we are sure that the daily disipline must challenge the ad¬ miration of all who have visited school, or noticed the deportment < f pupils on the streets while p ssiug to and f.toni the academy, Our young ladies and gentlemen are in¬ deed worthy of all praise, while our boys and girls are as bright and wc 11- behaved as are to be found in all the land. Some one has said, “Happy is lie who fills a want of the people.” That saying may be supplemented with the following: “Happy is he who finds the right sort of people to want bis services.” The people of Carnesville have demonstrated that they a first class school b y haring it. The school owes its splendid success to the efforts of the people in and around Carnesville in its behalf, These people are ever ready to boom tlieir school. Their houses are open at low rates to boarders. Their hearts and souls arc in the work. And so in all confidence wc say, full honor to the patrons and continual success to the school. After resting and recruiting through the holidays, wc shall open again on the first Monday in Janua¬ ry, and continue uninterruptedly for seven scolastic months. From gen¬ eral belief, founded on favorable re¬ port from various sections i f the country, we may augur well for the success of the coming session. New houses are being erected, and lots for building will be sold cheap by pub¬ lic-spirited citizens who have the school and its interests at heart. If any reader is in doubt on those things we heartily bid him come and see. To-morrow at 10 o’clock in the forenoon we will deliver our last , lecture for the , present session at the accademy. Several of our appreci- ativc citizens have been attending thesc Saturday-morning lectures to the class in Composition and tion. As this is the last lecture, for the year 1890, and will he in the na- ture of a valedictory, we would he pleased to have all friends, who can do so, to attend. Horace, the genial Roman poet, in his “A rs Poetica ” says, “A word uttered cannot be recalled.” It is true, and we ought all of us to be¬ ware what we say about our hors, because we can’t take it back, And if wc must say bard things, * winch ... we are too prone A to do, j - let us always be sure that they arotrue be- fore saying them.
