APPOINTMENT OF TEACHER8—YEAR
LY ROLL OF HONOR.
Full Report of tbo Officer* of the Board—
A Fine ShowIncXof the Good Oar*
Taken ol the PublloESchool Children In
Americus.
The board of edueuation held on Fri
day evening a very Important meeting.
There was traniaeted much buiineu of
Internet, tending to further improving
the coune of atndy, the aehool buildings
and the tender relational that exiit be
tween teaehere andfpuplla.
Thie addition to the rulei Is specially
noted; “Whenever a teacher haa cause
to complain of tho indolence and bad
behavior of any pnpll, if any correspond-
once with parents be needed it must be
had through tha superintendent."
The study of rudimentary Latin will
next term begin in the grammar aohools.
The atndy of mnale, reading and ting-
Ing according to the L. W. Maaon’e
method will be Introduced In ail the
grades below the high school.
At a previous meeting nearly ail tha
teaohers had been elected; they were
assigned to grades as follows:
JACKSOX-STREET SCHOOL—BIOB SCHOOL
DEPARTMENT.
Principal and teacher of 10th grade—
Prof. J. E. Mathis.
Teacher of Oth grade—Prof. Oeo. J.

BEPOltT OF THE PRESIDENT.
Gentlemen of the Board—The twelfth
year of the public schools of Americus
closed on June 12,1881.
The commencement sermon was
preached by Dr. A. B. Campbell to a
large audience in the Methodist charch.
Tha doctor acquitted himself with honor
to himself and profit to his hearers.
The closing exercises of the schools
and gradnation of twenty-two pupils—
five of them with distinction—reflected
credit upon tho teachers, scholars and
pupils of Americus.
The good attendance on the sohools,
1517 pupils having been enrolled, with
no death reported this last year, and
only one death among sohool children in
the last three years, speaks better for
Americus than many words.
For the next year there will be added
to the schools six more teaohers, making
a corps of twenty-seven teaohers and two
assistant teachers.
Liberal appropriations have been
made from year to year by the city
council for the support of the sohools.
In fact, the levies have far exceeded the
expenditures, which shows that there
has been no waste In the management of
the schools.
In thejmattcr of discipline, I wish to
call tho attention of parents and teach
ers to the recommendations of the su
perintendent In connection with Buie
39: “Teachers should be kind, gentle,
sympathizing, and courteous to their
pupils, at the -same time requiring from
them prompt obedience, courtesy and
politeness." Each teacher ahould study
the dispositions of his pupils, consulting
their environments and opportunities;
and wliile ho ahould be Impartial, the
tame kind of treatment meted out to
each pupil In his class, without regard
ing the temperament of the child, will
work much barm. Lot tlio teachers
govern their classes with judgment,
will be the men and women of to-mor
row.
"The feet or hope touch on to-day;
We almost hear her coming tread;
But tardy yOt, she keeps away
And on to-morrow leans her head," -
M. Si-EER, President.

The First Bale*
The following la from the Constltu.
tion of yesterday:
•‘Americus received to-day berfiret
bale of the cotton crop of 1801-82, which
came in by passenger train this after
noon, over the Savannah, Americui A
Montgomery railroad, from the planta
tion of Mr. C. C. Clay, in this county.
"It was picked, ginned, packed and
delivered at the warehouse in thli city
between the hours of 8 a. m. and 0 p. m.
to-day. The bale waa bandied by L. G.
Council’s warehouse, which also re
ceived the first bale here last year, Au
gust 2. It weighed 385 pounds, and was
sold to Littleton A Lamar, cotton bny-
ers, for 8} cents. This is the third bale
marketed In the United States this
season of the new crop, the
first baring gone from Albany to New
Tork a month ago, and the seeond from
Montgomery yesterday. It will be noted
that this bale brought, in Americas to
day, 1} cents per pound more than the
first bale brought In New Tork last
month. Another bale was expected
this afternoon, but failed to come In. It
will arrive to-morrow morning. This Is
virtually the opening of the season here,
and in a few weeks hundreds of bales
will be coming in dally.
A Great Improvement.
Among the many improvements in the
city this summer should be noted the es
tablishment of Joe Covington, the bar
ber In the Allen House block.
In addition to a large and comfortable
room for the barber shop proper, J°°
has a first-class suite of bath rooms at
tached, which lu arrangement, comfort
and convenience would be a credit to
any city.
Thongh hardly yet finished up in the
style that will be shown a few days
later, they were opened to the patrons
yssterdsy for the first time, and were
very favorably commented upon by all.

dren) want large, cool bedroom, with

Notice
The patrons of Tnu Timxs-Keclbder
are urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now due for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay Its
labor the cash weekly, and on the first
of the month It la necessary for all Its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Times-
Rxcobdxh establishment are about 150
per day, whieh most be paid every
Monday without fall or delay. *
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard'the matter as Insignificant, these
small aooounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, whloh we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper .can't run a week with
oat money; so come up to the captain’s
office and settle.

Much Interest Manifested.
The publio Is manifesting groat Inter
est In the proposed arrangements under
and upon the Lamar street mountain,
spoken of In yesterday’s Times-Uecoii-

and the inclined railway was voted as a
good scheme.
Another novelty can still bo intro
duced when tho cold weather comes on
and the snow lies upon the higher slopes
of tho Lamar street mountain, aad that
Is to make a toboggan slide for the
amusement of the northern tourist.
