There is a saying, so old that it origin is forgotten, and so true tliot none will question it. that "behind each cloud is a silver lining, every sweet has its bitter.” With her recognized progressiveness and with that degree of public spirit so ' which characterizes Atlanta, and places 100 j her far ahead of would-be competitors, 50 | Georgia's capital city has taken the lead | in a move which is of utmost importance i to the entire state, a move which meets approbation on every hand and the bene fit of which will be felt long after those who gave it its inception have made their last long journey. Reference is made hero to the normal j school but recently inaugurated by At lanta's board of education, the first ses- A NNOU NCKM K N T.

I’asrJial J. Moran has done many things of benefit to Atlanta, and Mr. Forrester is well known in Aineri- cus and in journalistic circles, and The Timer-Recorder is pleased to announce that he will in future be a member of its editorial staff. During the dry drouth banished before copious showers, cot ton and corn refused to grow, but inter est kept piling up at its old lick. to Georgia, but the crowning effort of his life was the inauguration of this normal school, liy this act lie lias reared for himself a monument more durable hich has just j t | ian brass, more valuable than marble or precious stones. The good that the school will do is recognized by all. The liberality of Atlanta in making the sciiool free to all who care to avail themselves of it is greatly appreciated from the So far there lias been no report that Blaine's “backbone” is in any way af fected, so it is probable that he lias enough of that article to give “Little I by the people of Georgia, Ben” a lively tussle, should he decide to j mountains to the seaboard, do 80> | Hut each sweet has its bitter. The bitter witii this particular sweet Yesterday was colored folks day at Andersonville. The proclamation of freedom was a small affair to the average darkey when compared with the glorious is the fact that the three weeks session of the school has been fixed to come at a time when those who would appreci- privilege of a trip to Andcrsonvillo OD ate it moat-tlie country teachors-aro decoration day.

Com paratively, there are lint few schools in Ox Si xday night a party of about Georgia whloh end their spring terms forty farmers of Washington township, Jewell county, Kansas, drove olT a man who had purchased a farm sold under foreclosure of a mortgage, and reinstated the former owner. They threatened the purchaser with death unless lie gave up the farm. It is stated that the mob was composed of aUlanccmcn, and the mort gager of tho farm was a member of their organization. Lkox Bubtub, the only witness against the Xew Orleans jury bribers, has been arrested in St. Louis and will be carried back to Xew Orleans. lie says ho got one thousand dollars and skipped because lie did not want to be the means of sending two men to the penitentiary who had large families to support. Burthe Is a man of strong sympathy when he is given a thousand dollars to skip out. A New Yohk jury returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of a woman who killed her traduoer, and the scenes in the court room plainly showed that tho verdict was pleasing to the spectators. Such should be the verdict of every jury - where a woman is on trial for avenging a wrong which can in no way be remedied, for the death of tho traducer will place him beyond similar crimes and serves as a lesson to othors. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of Sun day says: '‘Tho Mobile and Girard railroad has been gradod from Troy, a -distance of fifty and one-third miles, to a point near Andalusia. If continued in the same direction thirty miles fur ther it will Intersect the Louisville and Xasbvilltf at Browton. Balls are being laid at the rate of ono mile a day, and the expectation is that trains will he running the full graded length by July 1. ; ' bE- The deliberations of the Presbyterian general assembly, which had under con sideration the caae of Itev, Dr. Briggs, of New York, who Is being tried for horesy at Detroit, wore interrupted Thursday by the sudden death of Judge S. W. Brock* enridge, of St. Louis. Judge Breckcn- rldge had just about closed an address giving an exposition of the position of the assembly toward Dr, Briggs, when he fell to the tloor and expired in a few seconds. r.: % Guano country this! Young Green Itaum is to go unpunished for his thiev ing. white the poor farmer who raises nothing but corn on his poor, rocky land has to pay a fine and spend months in jail, away from his home where lio Is so much needed, because what? Because he transformed that corn into a shape that enabled him to dispoao of It with out paying the tribute demanded by the government. But it is not of the repub lican party to be consistent, several At ft? Thebe has cropped out Indications of a desire to delay the trial of the Howards and BickerstafI for for murdering Dawson, In Columbus last fall, on the part of the defendants' attorneys. This should not be. Tlieao men stand charged with a crime heinous in its details, and they should be tried and convicted or elso turned loose as in nocent men. Justleo, but nothing but justice, should be speedily dealed out tn them, aud when that is done the effect will be wholesome. As old speech of Jefferson Davis is being recalled, in which he referred to an Incident In the career of Governor Hancock, of Massachusetts, President Washington visited Boston, and the gov ernor refused to call on him because in any state the governor was a blggor man than the president so far as that state was concerned, and Washington should have called on him. That was states' righta and sovereignty with a ven geance, yet Massachusetts departed far from the doctrines of her patriarchs and led the movement to destroy the dignity of statehood. before the last days of June or tho be ginning of July. The result is that the larger percent of tho teachers of tho state will find that it is impossible for them to attend tills school so generously oponed to them. They will find that when they arc ready aud anxious to avil themselves of this normal course tho only opportunity of doing so is closed to them. The opening and closing days of these schools are fixed by usage as old as the schools themselves, and they cannot bo changed. But provision can be made for these teachers. In support of his resolution to estab lish this school Mr. Moran niado the point that those who aro to havo charge of It were employed, and paid, by the city of Atlanta for the entire year. Xow, os a rule, no schools In tho state begin their fall term before September or Oc tober. Tlioso in Atlanta do not, so the teachers could devote their attention to this normal school at any time between the day fixed for the opening of the school and tho opening of tho public schools of Atlanta after tho summer va cation. Then- Let Mr. Moran and those who aro sup porting him in this matter fix the (lato for tho normal school for some time in July or August, when all tho teachers of tho state can avail thomselvcs of tho opportunity so generously offered to them; giving thoso who aro to instruct in tho normal school say a month's vaca tion before they take up those duties, and another vacation beforo they havo to resume their daily routine. The results of this would ho mani fest The instructors would feel better pre pared for tho work before them; tho at tendance would bo Increased an hundred fold. Then the teachers of Georgia, and the people, who are sure to reap tho benctlt of tli normal school, would rise up and call Mr. Moran and his co-labor ers blossed. •■ONLY A FLAGMAN." A terrible accident happened on the L. A N. near this place last night. The c..aehea acre ruined beyond repair and thedaningc will amount to thousands of dollars. Only a Itagman was killed. That is the massage; cruel in Its brevity, couched In such words as make a thoughtful person shudder at the thought of what little space is devotod to the fate of the dead man; which Hashed over the wires from Xashville to tho great papers of tho country a day or so ago. "Only a llagman was killed." Poor fellow! while at Ms post of duty, without a moment's warning, ho was hurled Into eternity. The papors spread his obituary to the world, but how cold and rolentlcss were the words, how little tribute was paid to a man who died away from home at his post of duty, a man who had started low down to work to the top. “Only a llagman was killed." Yet the accident was a terrible ono for "tho coaches wero ruined beyond re pair and tlie damage will amount to thousands of dollars." While carrying out his duties the correspondent who sent that special was thoughtful enou rh of the owners of those cars, of the stock holders of that road, to toll them that their cars wero "ruined beyond repair,” but lie put himself not to the trouble of Hading out the name of the pale dead man, whose faco he saw upturned to a pale May moon. Xo one would he In terested in that, he was only a wage earner, hit living or dying would have no effect on this stock or on that securi ty; no funeral cortege of vaat propor man,” hut still he was near aud dear to some ono. Some old gray haired wo man, w ith wasting form aud wrinkled checks, no doubt, had a light out that very night as a signal to her boy that she was well and awaited tho day when lie would send a portion of tho pittance which he was earning to keep the wolf of starvation from feeding on her ema ciated body. Somebody else, no doubt, treasured a lock of hair from the brow of that flagman, who looked forward to the day when lie would be a conductor and make her ids bride. But without a note of warning he met his death, the dreail monster sealed his lips, perhaps, as he was uttering a prayer for that mother and that loved one. Death -took him while lie was at his post of duty and Ills young life and his hopes went out in the twinkling of an eye. Yet his obituary was: "Only a Hagman was killed.” How many flagmen are there around us? We cannot all occupy high places. But how much better would bo tho world if in life we were to speak a kind word or lend a helping hand to these flagmen instead of hastening to do hum ble homage to the stockholders and the owners. If we wore to do this life would be more worth the living, and when tho humblest of us all come to die the wires would no more Hash the words: “Only a llagman was killed.” "OIJAItn WELL THY TONGUE.” Apropos of the discussion in Atlanta over Itev. J. B. Culpepper’s language in the course of a sermon recently preached by him, to “men only,” it may bo re called, witii aptness, that a Georgian, honored of men, who has passed to the beyond once said that: “If half of tho people in the world had half of their tongues cut off there would not be as much miscldcf by half.” There is no reckoning the amount of harm that lias been done by unbridled and unchaste tongues, and it is more than well for one and ail to think twice before speaking. Especially docs this seem truo of preachers who under divine inspiration are attempting to save men's souls for the God who gave them. Mr. Culpepper should weigbte his words. But, whether ho does or not, and that is not a matter for Tiie Times-Kecoh- her to decide, no ono can earnestly argue that sensational preaching docs good. On the other hand nine tenths of the people are ready to. admit that it does moro harm than otherwise. Than the Times-Becoudeii Mr. Cul pepper can find no paper on the top side of this green globe that has more respect for Ids calling. Than the people of Amerlcus no peoplo delight more to honor and respect a Christian man, or woman, no matter in what walk of life they may bo found. Suckling babes at their mother's breast feed on this honor and respect, it is taught to tho boys and girls and the grown people are fully im bued with it. Still but few, if any, of them have any appreciation of the sen sational In preaching. That kind of work attracts crowds; so docs a circus, but it does not edify. A few years ago the writer heard a preacher, who is now attracting wide attention, declare: “I am as puro and spotless os Jesus Christ. I am like that palm to which no dust can cling. Xo sin permeates me.” Is to he supposed that that man’s preaching did any good? Is it to bo thought that his egotism imbued bis hearers with any confidence In him? They left that church disgusted; yes, In sulted, yet they went back—to soe what tho man would say next time. Tiure in ay bo thoso who will read this man's natno between tho lines. Be that as it may it cannot bo said that he was a credit to that earnest band of conscien tious Christian workors of which he claimed to be a member. Be they Methodist, Baptist or what they will. Be they bishop or circuit rider, or be they the ablest or the poor est, most stammering fort of men in their denomination all honor to the men who have taken up themselves and aro devoting their time and talents toward getting others to take up the burden of the meek and lowly Xazarene. The TiuesBecorrer is not disposed to decry them, hut It bids them God speed. At the same time It ventures to advise Mr. Culpepper, and all others of his stamp, that it would be a splendid Idea to guard their tongues well, to speak the truth, and to speak nothing that would be unmeet for pure woman’s ears.
