Arrangements have been perfected to open tile fall session of the above institution upon an entirely new plan than that heretofore adopted. The Tifton Educational Company, through its Board of Directors, lias placed their handsome and comforta ble school building in tlie hands of Prof. E. J. Williams, to he used for school purposes, and lie will conduct, the school upon its merits under the supervision of a Board of Trustees to he chosen by the patrons of the school. Really, the building is turned over to ilie community, free of rent, provided the citizens will maintain a lirstclass school in it. It lias never been the purpose of i lie Tifton Educational Company to mike motley out of their investment. They want Tifton to have a tirstcluss rolionl and, in their judgment, the irst step in. that direction was to have i lirstcfass school building, one that would he comfortable and at the same lime an ornament, to cite city. The .irst step has been taken, tiie building is one of which every citizen of Tift- •ill are justly proud. The board of Directors, chosen liv the stockholders liiive been so handicapped with their own private affairs they could not look if ter the conduct of the school with that degree of interest its importance leinumled; hence, (hey have placed tlie building—with the consent of a majority of the stockholders —at the disposal of the community with the privilege of choosing a board of Trus tees who can give this important mat ter proper attention.' Prof. Williams isayoungman who was reared only a few miles of Tifton and nearly every citizen 18 thorough ly acquainted with him. He gradua ted from Gordon InslPute at Bartles ville, with the highest distinction. Gordon Institute is more than its name indicates—having a regular col lege ciirrieu I uni and making a special ity of normal instruction. Borne of the best teachers of tlie state liuve graduated from that Institution. Be sides Prof. Williams has hud some valuable experience us an instrnctoi at Gordon and was, at one time, flat teringly spoken of in connection with the vice-presidency of the institution. He was, before going to college, prin cipal of Mayflower Academy at Ty- Ty for one year and gave entire sat isfaction to his patrons. Tlie Gazette is confident that, will the hearty co operation of tlie people of tlie com munity, he will place Tifton Institute upon a solid foundation as one of tlie best and most progressive institutions of learning in this section of the slate. Let every citizen give him Ilnur ut most moral and financial support. ALL ABOUT.THE COUNTY.

One of these churches belong to tlie Mercer and the other to Hie Moll Association. Con I meter Glover is reported as having resumed work -on the bridgo across Little River on tlie Tifton and Ty-Ty road. The had weather of tlie past two months somewhat discomfit- ted him. Mr. I). 0. Lancaster, of Polk county Fla., is visiting relatives and friends in Berrien comity. This is iiis first visit since leaving tlie county some twenty years ago, and all his friends welcome him back. The Laymen’s union meeting, Held with New River church last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, was fairly at tended and tiie exercises interesting and profitable. We expected that the minutes would lie sent us for publica tion, but they have not come to hand. Prof. W.

The Gazette wishes him abundant succss. The firm of of A. McQueen & Co., turpentine operators at Adel (la., lias made an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Tlie reason for making- the change is, that many of those who take mi active part in the singing convention desire also to at tend the Baptist association us Mt. Zion church, in Colquitt comity, which meet on Friday before the first Sunday in October, and they could not do so with a conflict of dates.

A game of base (mil Was played ( here yesterday afternoon between what purported to he tin amateur team from Macon and a “scrub” nine of Tifton. It was thought when the challenge was first accepted tint thj regular Tifton team could be had to play tire game, but this was found to be untrue when it that the Tiftons mudeas good a show as they did. The game was called at tho close of the sixtli inning on ac count of the darkness caused by an overshadowing cloud. The Tiftons held their opponents down pretty well until tlie close of tlie third in ning—shutting them out in the first and second, and allowing them one rim in tlie third—when the score stood' seven to one in favor of the “scrub” team. In tlie fourth inning the lo cals got rattled, threw wild and let in seven runs and virtually lost the game, i’lie score stood when the game was called twelve .to ten in fa vor of the visitors. 'The visitors were pleased with their treatment at Tifton. The button hole boquels, presented by some of the young ladies of tlie city, was some thing to which they were unaccus tomed and was a pleasant surprise. Matters at Mogul. » We spent a couple of hours a( Mogul on last q'uesday afternoon, and found C’upt. Sim Harrell busily engaged in lilting up a stockade for the safe keeping of convicts, as lie lias decided lie call get along with them better than free labor, lie has prosperity of tlie farmers of this sec- The incendiaries .who burnt Mr. J. B. Everett’s stockade and con tents, in Worth comity, lias been captured and lodged in jail. A visit to Ty-Ty the first of tlie week revealed the fact that the peo ple there are taking life quietly, and patiently waiting a change for the better in financial circles. Tax Receiver Graves, of Worth countv, is just completing Iiis tax roll, lie estimates that the decrease in tlie taxable resources of tlie homi ly will be somewhere about $100,000.

He also proposes to open up about a thousand acres of Iiis splen did pebbly land and plant it in grapes and fruit trees—mostly pouches. Cupt. Harrell has already several business irons in tho lire. Besides Ills flourishing mercnniilc business he operates a saw mill, planing mill, rice liuller and one of the very best ginneries in this section of the state; lie gins both short and long staple colton. Another thing wo learned while there was that a civil engineer lias boon employed and the town of Mogal will be regularly laid oil at once and the lots placed on the mar ket. There will be also a number of small farms surveyed, plaited ami offered at nominal figures to actual settlers. There is being conducted here a free school, indeed. Cupt.

This iH liberality of (tie right sort. Cupt. Harrell lias also greatly as sisted tho Missionary Baptist denom ination to build themselves n small, but. comfortable, church there. The Methodists worship in the school building. This arrangement affords divine services twice u month. * * Cupt. Harrell lias us guest now ids brother, Dr. Harrell, of South Caro lina.

Miss Magna Alford, of Ourabelle, Fla., is visiting relatives and friends in Worth county, where she is well known and greatly admired for her many noble trails of character. Sumner was her home for many years. Reports from Bayhoro, Colquitt county, say that the fanners iti that vicinity have the best craps (Ids sea son l lies- have Imd for several years past. In that vicinity are tho Till mans, Sharpes, Bakers, and host of other good fanners Some of the citizens of Sumner dealt summary punishment upon a young negro man one (lay last week. Iiis offense was going unhidden into the sleeping apartments of a couple of young indies—daughters of one of their fellow-citizens. I>■. M. E. Vuson lias located at Ty-Ty for the practice of Ids profes sion. He is a very entertaining gentleman and thoroughly read up in the history of the past and pres ent, and lie can see as far into tlu* future as the next limn. The Moultrie Banner is still in the hands of a Receiver ami, we judge from reports, is likely to stay there some little time yet. The Gazette regrets to know that its neighbor is liras handicapped in its efforts to promote the best interests of Col quitt county. But such is tlie histo ry of most country newspapers. Itnse Hall ut ItmiiHWlek. The Tifton base lull I team went to Brunswick last Friday morning and defeated tho lucid team there by u score of It loll. A second game was played .Satur day afternoon, and the Tiftons wore wullopped to the tunc of 2 to 10. However, it is fair to state in belmlf of the Tiftons that they were “fagged out” having played games the pre ceding Thursday and Friday after noons, and could muster but one fresh man and lie an amateur; while tlie Brunswick team laid play ed but one previous game mid had recruited their nine with four fresli men including a piofcssionul battery. The Tifton team should have declined to play the second game witli such odds against them. They should have been more discreet titan to call upon M r. Ledbetter to pitch throe games in succession. No man can do it success fully. The Tifton team lias received se vere censure at home for agreeing to call Friday’s game a draw, it is sta ted mid it it seems to he generaly ad mitted, liv all who witnessed the game that the .score stood as above, but both the malinger and captain of the Tifton team agreed to call it u draw mid have it so published witli the hope ami promise Hint the gate receipt would bo greatly increased from what. they were on Ftiday -they had to get their expenses either from the gate re ceipts or their pockets, which made tlie gate receipt business a matter of extreme interest with them. The scheme, however, failed us it'should have done. The result of the trade reacts very heavily on the Tifton team, as it makes it necccssarv to beat the Brnn- wick team two successive games to tlie championship. We venture to say tho Tiftons can accomplish that feat if they ever get the oppor tunity on their own grounds. New Advertisements.
