Perhaps an extract from the model constitution will better explain tli plan. It says; “We, the citizens of county, State of Georgia, desir- ing to form un association to pro mote the industrial aud higher edu cation of young women, and to dis seminate knowledge in regard to the nature and purposes of the Normal und Industrial College, do hereby organize ourselves into an association for the furtherance of these objects, 1st, To unite in lending a helping hand to struggling womanhood, and to encourage ami assist tier ill ob taining remunerative employment. 2d. To promote benevolence i>y es tablishing a loan fund by annual dues, private subscription, and other wise to assist in defraying the ex penses of girls while pursuing the higher education taught in the Nor mal school and Industrial depart ments of said college.” By this constitution a person is rendered eligible to membership in the association by the payment of one dollar uniiituliy, and ten dot litre makes a life member. The plan commends itself at once to those desirous to become the ben efactors of their less fortunate sis ters. I am confident there arc- many large-hearted, benevolent men and women in our county who would gladly contribute these amounts, 'thereby rendering uneducated, hut deserving girls, self-sustaining ami independent, making their whole lives brighter and happier by benefactions. 1 trust thin matter.will receive the consideration which it so richly mer its, and that our county, together with every county in the district, will very soon have a permanent oi- ganization. Muh. A. W. Cobiiy. Albany, Ga., March 10th, 1802. The Gazette would be glad to gee a loan association organized in Berrien county, because she is, ns yet, unrepresented at the Normal and Industrial school. There ure ii niim'icr of most wor thy young ladies in the county who, having adopted school touching us a vocation, would he proud of an op portunity to better prepare them selves for their work, which they can never hope to do without assistance. The money thus secured and ex pended would he of vaat good to the educational interests of Berrien county by raising the (.landaid of the public school curriculum in the communities where they may be em ployed to teach, and the beneficiaries would be enabled to do more and better work for the children they leach, correct and efficient teaching which will be felt for good on down into future generations. Berrien county, the Gazette is informed, is entitled to two lienefl- entries. Can't sufficient money he raise:! by the foregoing plan to send some of our worthy young ladies to fill both vacancies? It is hoped some of the good ladies of the county will take hold of the matter and see what can be done. Don't wait one for another! The Gazette is ready to do its full duty in the nutter. To He Held In Albany During the {tcorgta Chautauqua. By reference to nil advertisement oh the fourth page the school teach ers of Berrien county will discover that it is decided, by Commissioner Bradwell, that their attendance ti]>oii the Teacher’s Institute to be held at Albany during the approaching ses sion of the Georgia Chautauqua, commencing the 28th inst., shall he compulsory. The institute will be composed of the county schooTcommissioners and all the teachers in the counties of Baker, Berrien, Colquitt, Dougherty, Early, laic, Mitchell und Worth. The pay of teachers and commis sioners will go on while they ure in attendance upon the institute just us though they were at work in the schools. Dr. J. L. M. Curry, Dr. Sanford, the mathematician, and other distin guished educators will bo there, and the school teachers whose good for tune it will lie to attend—and they must attend unless they have a good excuse—will receive lasting benefit.

It is an old adage, “improvo in keeping by frequent repetition,” that land well prepared for any crop is already half cultivated; this is es pecially bo with the. tobacco crop. While it doeB not materially or essen tially differ from other crops expect ed to yield a bountiful harvest, yet it is the one crop, if neglected, show most distinctly the want of proi>er cure and management. It is a crop that absolutely requires prompt and ceaseless attention. 'The land should be worked as nearly us possible to the fineness of a garden, by frequent plowing and harrowing. All stumps, roots, turfs, stones and clods bIioiiIiI he removed, thus preventing after trouble in eti tivulion.

A most- inqiortant meeting of Georgia manufacturers of yellow piuo lumber was held in the Board of Trade rooms, Macon, lust Thurs day. Two sessions wore held—one in the morning and one in the after noon. Capt S. It. Weston was selected for permanent ohnii’iimii and W. W. DcIIavcn permanent secretary. Thirty-six prominent lumbermen were present. The object of the meeting was ex plained by Capt II. If. Tift, in a short address, to be (or tho purpose of organizing wUh^tue view of self- proteotion.

And, fur tlieiylhal the const mills at Darien, St Mary’s, St, Simon’s and Sal ilia river he invited to join the organiza tion. The motion was adopted and the following railroad committees were up|K>itiled, and instructed to report hack in the afternoon; Fast Tennessee, Virginia and Ocorgia—J. C. Williams, Eastman R. H.

At.’) o’clock the afternoon session waa culled to order and the following plan of organization was submitted hy tlie committee: That a stock company he formed composed of the saw mill men of the Btate, each mill subscribing at tli rate of |icr thousand on their to tal output periuiniim, (he total sub scription to be the capital of the company. The company to he chartered and have the power, among other things, to con tract-with other mills for their output on commission. That the company lie controlled hy it board of twelve or more direc tors who shall meet monthly and fix prices at which lumber shall be sold. Thi* plan to be submitted through u committee to all the mill men in the state, and thateafsh be invited to subscribe as above provided, and that each group of saw mill men on each railroad, shall meet within three weeks from this date and elect ail executive committee to meet in Ma con ou the 4th of April and formu late the plan atiove outlined and pro cure a charter for the company. A discussion arose relativo to local rates of freights. It was shown that, tho lumber men of the state were payiug s higher rate of freight at present than was paid previous to the establishment of a railroad commis sion in Georgia, which is claimed is unjust us lumber is at least 50 per cent lower to-day than it was fifteen years ago. Tiie discussion of the question of free tariff on lumber led to the adop tion of a resolution declaring that no politics whatever should come in con- tuct with the organization. At 6 o'clock the meeting adjourned, after iiassing a resolution of thanks the Macon Board of Trade for the hse of their rooms and thanks to saw mill men of the Brunswick and Western railroad for their earnest endeavor in trying to effect some kind of an organization to atlvunce the price of yellow pine lumber.

Good man. The most remarkable running ever made in Georgia, or probably in the south, was accomplished on the Brunswick und Western railroad last Friday by engine No. 17, Engineer William Mahoney, pulling Superin tendent G, W. Haines’ special couch, with Conductor Welch in charge. The run was made from Albany to Brunswick, 171 miles, in 210 min utes, including four stoppages, equal ing a mile a minute for the full run. The run from Wuycross to the Satil- la river nridge, thirty miles, where slowing up was necessary, was mode in thirty minutes. Between Alupuha and I’earson stations the running was at the rate of lily-five and fifty- eight seconds per mile. Tlie cuse of this remarkable run was a telegram received by Superin tendent Haines in transit announcing that President Felton of the East Tennessee would like to meet him on business at 2 o’clock in Brunswick. A REMARKABLE RUN. llruiuwlck ami Wfutern llfatg Ueorjtl* Hct-ord. editorial Carelessness. The Wuycross Headlight credits the Gazette with the following item: “Rev. W. II. Scruggs, pastor of the Wuycross Baptist church, delivered very interesting sermon at tlie Methodist church in this place on .Monday night last. He was here to confer with the brethren as to the advisability of organizing a Baptist church at this place; tint on account of sickness was called home before anything definite was done.” Here is a piece of editorial care- leazneea, almost inexcusable, which does Tifton a great injustice. It was clipped from the Willacoocbee paper and credited as noted above. Now, Bro. Freeman, for your in formation we will state thut Rev. Scruggs did not preach here at the time indicated, or ut any oilier time within otir knowledge; a Baptist church has been organized at Tifton for several years; there is fast being completed ut Tifton a Baptist church building which, for dimensions and beauty of architecture, would be creditable to a much larger city than Tifton or—even Wuycross. However, the people would be pleased to hear Air. Scruggs preach ut any time lie cau make it conven ient to do so. Katlroait to Nashville. A correspondent of the Brunswick Times, writing from Leliatou and of tiie splendid milling enterprise of .Messrs. Gray A Gatcheli at that place, says: “The tramway of this firm lias re cently been extended into Berrien county, crossing Alupahu river over a substantial bridge. This brings it within nine miles of Nashville, tha county sent of Berrien, and it may be extended to that point. In that event, regular passenger trains would be put on, running between Nash ville uud Leliaton, and connecting with trains on the Brunswick and Western. This would be of the greatest convenience to the publto, as Nashville is, at present, several miles from any railroad. It would cost the enterprising mill men $30,- 000, hut thov calculate that the ft-eight and travel would pay a hand some interest, and the extension would put them in reach of enough timber to last them a life time- They already have a twenty-year*’ supply. The tramway now in operation is provided with twelve good cars and three iocomatives, two of which com pare favorably with those used on railroads.” Try Indian Ofcotor* Cordial for bowel tumble*.
