Mrs. Maggie Lowe andtier little daughter, Marie, have Returned from loil. a visit to parents in ^ |homas .....- ----- Mr. and Mrs. Clark re]«W hive . re lamed from a visit to at Gailiard. Mr. Geo. Jordan, of ^Culloden, was in Roberta this week. Mr. M. J. Holleman, of bandy Point, was in Roberta Tuesday, on Business. Mr. M. H. Carnes has fenced in his lot north of his residence and planted it in corn. We like to see such evidence of enterprise, -y, , Mr. Frank of con, one of Mr. Ray’s trusted em ployes, was in Roberta ibis week looking after business interest of the former. A mothetiy deed, was that act of kindness, and fully apprecia. led too, for it filled our heart with memories of a once and contented home, now dis- solved by the two sad twins of destruction—Time and Death. It is a mistaken idea to think that one’s independence in mat¬ ters is a manifestation of con¬ ceit. Those who are not suffi cientit conversant with the es¬ sentials of the two to discrimi¬ nate, can spend time wisely in in¬ vestigation. The.C orrespondent is informed that iiiere is no specified number of hours for daily instruction in the common schools of the county. If this is correct, we suggest that It he board of commissioners cor. Lider the advisability and wisdom lof naming a certain number of limurs to be taught and make it [eofnpulsary on the part of the |j;each.ers Lime. This % teach would that be appreciated Iqngth of ROBERTA, GA, APRIL, 11893. by the teachers, and would be a protection to those who are assail by unjust and unfounded criticisms. There are some who think a child ought to study ten jessons a day, and receive instruc¬ tion from, “Early morn to dewy eve,” and never have a moments recreation. If those who take this erroneous view of the matter would use a little common sens -1 , they would very readily see the fallacy of their positions. It is a mistaken idea that so much time should be spent in the school room and so main 7 -studies pursued, un less indeed the object is to de stroy the mind, bring about n er vous prostration of the student, and graduate him for the asylum, instead of a useful and active life.
