We here had a very good
School at Walkers Chappell, but
an aceident happened to our wor¬
thy teacher Mr. C. E. Worsham
and hot only the school but Mr,
Worsham's back. Among the
branches taught in his school
were Gymnastic’s on a hickory
pole p’accd in the forks of a coup¬
le of pine saplins* Here Mr.
Worsham taught his puqils. It
was very interesting to see him
give them a lesson, you would
have thought him not only acrabat
fcut a contcrtiohist also. But alas
one day be made a miscalcula¬
tion and iell and broke h!s back,
and his school both. The last
seen of him was he was riding
around with a tar plaster on his
back selling cotton seed crushers.
We have the boss Turkey hun¬
ter in out neighborhood, he has
been going in the same direction
about twice a week for two years.
He never misses, rain or dry, hot
or cold, and always after a turkey
he has never been known to
■bring any turkey back, but we all j
khow that turkey is there or be
wonld’nt go so persistently.
There a suspicion that he always
gets turkey but eats it where he
finds it, yes! Farmer John is a
champion turkey hunter.

GIVE US BETTER ROADS.
The demand for better roads «
becoming universal throughout
the State. Bad roads in a county
is almost always a sign of a want
not only of public spirit, but also
of a want of education and en¬
lightenment. As our people be¬
come better educated they give
more attention and thought to the
necessity of improving the high¬
ways of travel.
And organized efforts are advo¬
cated in every direction for the
purpose of securing such legisla¬
tion as will enable county autnor-
ities to put public roads in a
condition to be traveled with ease
and safety.
We have become satisfied that
the matte:* will have to be reaehed
by local laws snitable for each
section Like prohibition it will
have to be obtained by separate
action of {ounties.
A Georgia Road Congress was
held in Atlanta in May, 1889,
over which Col. W. J. Northen
presided, and a memorial was
drafted asking the Legislature to
pass an act to provide for a Su¬
perintend ;nt of roads for each
county, that roads be laid off iu
sections and be either let out by
contract or overseers be employed
to work the roads.
Tc provide fo requring all per¬
sons subject to road duty either to
perform the labor faithfully or to
pay its equivalent in money.
Also to provide an additional
tax on property to furnish . addi¬
tional means for purchasing road
implements, etc. And to provide
for putting convicts on public
roads as soon as the. present fease
expires.
Nothing has. ever been done
with this Hill for the semple rea¬
son that, there is too much ignor¬
ance and narrow mindedness in
tVtf. T..legislation to do anything
chat will benefit the Country.
Nearly every member is afraid he
might make some body mad and
probably lie could not go back
again.
It is a fact that the present
roads are a disgrace to the state cf
Georgia, and some steps ought to
be taken to improve them.
The only way to permauntiy
improve our roads is by making
them with convicts or by Taxation.
A petition is now being circulate d
asking the General assembly to
take some steps in the matter.
If constitutional a law ought to
be passed o ,,per caysita” tax on
every person betwen 16 and 60,
for that purpose; But if not con-
stitutional then a property tax

Notice is hereby given that ap¬

The plan suggested by „EnstK,
is a good one. Calculated to
make all “search the Scripture,
and create a fresh interist in the
opening exercises of our School.
We should vslue the meaning of
this passage, “Ihy word have I
h id in my heart, that I might not
sin against Thee. If we encourage
our pupils to memorize Bible text,
as is their and our duty, the bene¬
fit is not only for the present, but
who can tell the good that it may
do when in the future, temptat
tions, doubts and sorrows assail.
Our Saviour hurled texts of
Scripture at Satan when he temp¬
ted Him in the wilderness, and
won the Victory. And so may
we, for in that sacred armory are
weapons to suit w ary ,.soldiers ot
the Ctoss, in every conflict of life.
Dear fellow teacher, let us think
as we study the lesson for next
Sunday—October 5th—how res¬
ponsible we are for the faithful
cultivation of the little corner of
our Lords Vineyard as given su
to tend in our Snnday School
class.
The vines are young, so tender,
so easily impressed persuaded,
traiued in the right direction.
How important it is, to be our¬
selves what we teach them that
they should be.
In teaching them to cultivate
their little share of vines, their
hearts, to nonrish the precious
growth of good, to feel their per¬
sonal accountability Xg> their absent,
yet, in another seace ever present
Lord; to learn one of the noblest
lessons of life, faithfulness, to duty
where trust is bestowd, let us see
to it that we teach them by exam-
pie as well as by precept.
Ah? the position
of a Sunday School teacher is one
of solemn responsibility. Let the
iesson before us fill us with heart
searchings, and send us to our
knees to ask the aid of the Divine
Husbandman, that we may give
Him rich and abundant fruit, from
the vines He has given us to
care for. C.
FROM WESLEY CHAPELL.
We have the banner school in
the county. Have 140 schollars
good teachers and a faithful and
wortey Superentenbant.
It appeared that the weatner
was too disagreeable last Sunday
for any to attend, notwithstanding
there were 67 answered to roll
call. On the two previous sun-
days there were present 95 and
91.
God help our Superentendant
to continue to prove as faithful
and zealous as he has in the past.
How are the children of our
community to got a knowledge of
our blessed Savior, without study¬
ing his word.
The word of God must be laid up
in the hearts and in the minds of
the children of our land.
It is not taught at home, the s?»b
bath school is practically the only
place where the Bsble is taqght!
who would opject to preacher and
people both old and yong assem¬
bling on the sabbath day in the
house of God for the purpose of bi
ble study;we are pusuwaded there
are none. We believe the sabbath
school to be anxilary to the church
and a blessing to society. We
ho: e to see the day when the
ath school will be favo.el by all
ristian churches over tha entire
ristian wourld.
