EXCHANGE NOTES,
The best thing done at the late
Methodist conference in Gaines¬
ville was the locating of Sam
Jones, the ministerial Hogback
of the age. The church will not
now be officially responsible for
the profanity and indecency of
his alleged sermons, or for his
money raids throught the eoun
try. Bishop Haygood deserves
the thanks and congratulations of
the entire membership of the
church for his decision in the
premises.—Sparta Ishmaelite.
Bade county is not only the
banner county of Georgia, but it
is the banner county of the Unit
ed States.
The records show that within
eight years there has only three
mortgages been recorded in the
clerk’s office. The people there
are not wealthy, as a rule, but
they do not owe anybody. They
raise all tne corn, wheat and oats
they require, and have quantities
to sell. They raise as fine mules
as Kentucky and Tennessee can
boast of, and their cattle yield
them a handsome income. They
feed their grain to their cattle
and hogs, and as a result they
have plenty to eat and are out of
debt.—Atlanta Journal.
Rev. W. W. Childs, recently of
Musella, gave the Times office a
pleasant call Wednesday.* Mr.
Childs is one of Upson’s clever
citizens and good teachers, w r ho
has been loaned out for a few
3 oars past to some of our neigh¬
boring counties. We are glad to
know that he has returned to Up¬
son again and is located in Yates
ville where he will be a perma
nent citizen. Mr. Childs and
family would be an addition to
any community.—Thomaston
Times.
We^call the attention of our
readers to the remarkable club¬
bing offer in another column by
which we can send this paper and
the Atlanta Weekly Constitution
to the same address for one year
for the low sum of $1.50.
This is the best offer of its kind
we have been able to make to our
readers.
I’M Atlanta Weekly Constitu¬
tion is too well known to need
any introduction here. It has
won its place at the firesides of
4he nation as a model weekly
newspaper. It numbers on its
staff some of the most famous and
brilliant writers of the day, and
on all public questions its lance is
ever in rest, to defend the rights
of the people. It is the largest
and most widely circulated week¬
ly newspaper published in Amer¬
ica, having a circulation of 15%,
000. and it covers the news of the
world every week. It, is in itself
an edu ration to those who read it.
By the clubbing rate which we
offedi our readers can get the
Weekly Constitution and their
home paper at but little more
than the cost of one paper, there¬
by getting the news of their home
and the news of the world every
week for a year at an insignifi¬
cant outlay.
Jn addition to this, every sub¬
scriber to this paper and the Con¬
stitution, under our clubbing ar
rangment, will be given an op¬
portunity to win some handsome
prizes. '
Every person who subscribes
for this paper and the Constitu¬
tion for one vear will be entitled
to a guess at the probable size of
the cotton crop for 1893-94. the
crop which is now harvested and
being marketed. $1,000 in prizes
the first being $400 in gold, and
the others in proportion, will be
divided among the five guessers
who come nearest guessing the
number of bales in this crop.
Everyone who takes advantage of
our clubbing rate will be entitled
to one guess which will be
promptly recorded and filed and
the announcement of the winners
will be made as soon as the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange an
nounces its estimate of the crop.
Another contest to which ou r
clubbing subscribers will have
free access, is the missing word
contest, which is being run in the
Constitution every month. Be¬
sides making an estimate in the
cotton crop contest, every sub¬
scriber has a right to enter his
guess in the missing word contest
for the month in which he sub¬
scribes, and is entitled to another
guess for every new name that
he sends in. At the end of the
month one fourth of-the money
received in the guessing contest
is divided among those who
guess correctly the missing word,
and in'this manner the Constitu¬
tion has distributed already near¬
ly $10,000.00.
The sentence from now until
February 1st. is:
‘‘In Prussia a law concerning
compulsory education of neglect¬
ed and............................................................
children received the sanction of
the crown.”
All these matters are explain¬
ed in another column. We
merely call attention to it here to
show our readers what a liberal
offer we have to make to them.
These offers are made by our ar
rangment with the Constitution
and only those who subscribe for
both bapers through this office are
entitled to take part in the con¬
test.
This is the most liberal club
bing offer we have ever been able
to make, and we feel sure that it
will prove immensely popular
with our readers.
A Remarkable School.
One of the most noted schools
the State is Gordon Institute
at Barnesville, Ga. The history
the school is remarkable.
years ago, it began
career as an ordinary academy,
but it has reached out from time
to time and added new and at
tractive features, so that now it is
almost a miniature university in
the number and perfection of its
departments. Besides the ordi¬
nary literary features, it has de¬
partments of Military Science,
physical Culture, Vocal and In¬
strumental Music, Art, Mechani¬
cal Drawing, Book-keeping and
The ambition of the authori¬
ties of this institution has always
been to make their work thor¬
ough ; and that they have meas¬
urably succeeded is evidenced by
the quality of men and women
they have sent out into the
world. It is believed that no
graduate of Gordon Institute has
failed to sustain himself where
intellect and moral courage were
the qualities requisite for suc
The most peculiar feature about
the school is that, without any
aid from the state, the school is
practically free to all the chil¬
dren of the state. Any student
can get a thorough education in
English, in Military Science or
Physical Culture, and in Mechan¬
ical Drawing for the mere pit¬
tance of $12 per annum while
board can be had at from ten to
twelve dollars per month.
The teachers of the institution
are all graduates, holding dtploj
mas from the very best of the
higher colleges in the country;
and the popularity of the
school is attested bv ^ its enroll
ment menr, nf ot near four r hundred pupils

grade in the state.lt has students

Misses Bessie Smith, Mary-Lee
Harrison and Minona Blasin
game have recently been pupils
of this school from Crawdord
county. Prof. J. D. Smith, prin¬
cipal of Knoxville High School
attended this institution.
The offer made in this issue of
a free scholarship in ihe Ga.-Ala
bame Business College, of Macon*
Ga., is a rare opportunity for
someone of our young friends to
secure an education in the best
institution of its kind in the south
The principals stand at the head
of their profession and their de¬
clared purpose to educate some
worthy boy or girl in every coun
ty cannot fail to command the
highest praise.
