This is a subject which should be of interest to the Crawfordville commu¬ nity. Several of our prominent citizens have each offered to contribute a cer¬ tain sum to secure e good school. No reflection on the present principal or assistants of the Stephens High School is intended. A large number of per¬ sons are in favoi of a meeting of citi¬ zens to discuss this important question. Lotus get together. The Advocate will gladly publish anything that any person may wish to say on this subject. The Steamboat's Inventor. It is generally believed that Piobert Fulton built the first steamboat in this country, but such is not the ease. It is uow admitted by the Northern news¬ paper that Fulton was anticipated over twenty-two years by James Rumsey, a Virginian. George Wash ington was a patron ol llumsey. Iu this connection the statement will b« of interest that I)r. Crawford W. Long, of Athens, Ga., in March, 1S42, used ether as an anaesthetic to produce in¬ sensibility to pain in a patent during a surgical operation. This was the first time ether was so used. This dis covery is generally considered the greatest contribution ever made to science by an American. Managing a Wife. A prize was recently offered by a New York paper for the best reply from its readers oti the topic “flow to manage a wife.” The Rev. Dr. Chas. F. Deems was the successful contest¬ ant,anti here is the reply that was given the prize: i » 4 Manage ?’ What is that ? Does it mean to control ? We manage a horse. We use our superior human intellect to control and guide his su¬ perior physical strength so as to obtain the best results. But a wife is not a horse. Where two .persons are well married, the wife is superior to her hus¬ band in as many respects as he is su¬ perior to her in others. If happiness is to be the result of the union the first business of the husband is to man¬ age himself so as to keep himself al¬ ways his wife’s respectful friend, al¬ ways her tender lover, always her equal partuer, always her superior protector. This will necessarily stimulate the wife to be always an admiring friend,always an atfectionate sweetheart, always a thrifty housewife, always a confiding ward. Aud this will so react upon the husbond that his love for his wife will grow so as to make it easy for the hus¬ band, with all his faults, to bear with all the infirmities of his ‘one and only’ wife.’ ” Hot Water. A prominent physician of New York recently declared that hot water is woman’s best, friend. It will cure dys¬ pepsia, if taken before breakfast, and will ward off chills, when she comes in from the cold. It will stop a cold, if taken early m the stage. It will re¬ lieve a nervous headache, and give in¬ stant relief to tired and inflamed eyes." It is most efficacious for sprains and braises, and will frequently stop the flow of blood from a wound. It is a sovereign remedy forsleeplessness.and in conclusion, the doctor asserts, “wrinkles flee from it, and blackheads vanish before its constant use.” In Washington county some years ago there lived a half-witted boy. One night a crowd of boys undertook to make him the butt of a practical joke. They made up a party to visit the wa¬ termelon patch of a neighbor. Among them was this boy, and he was to make one of the party who should go into the patch after the melons. The gen¬ tleman who was owner of the (patch was told of the intended visit, and of the. part he was expected to play. And he played it. During the visit some one opened fire on the raiders. This boy fell at the first fire. On investi gating it was found that the ball went in at the back of the head and ranged forward, the ball lodging near the front. He recovered. Later on in life the same boy got into a difficulty and was knocked on the head with a hammer. From this woand the brains oozed out, as from the first.in the hack of the head. From this he recovered and it was found he had a much strong¬ er mind than at first, lip married.aud is now living happily.—Ex. DOTS ON THE ROAD Personal and Newsy Not • Gathered Up by Traveler.

A. Brake has moved his saw mill from Pea Ridge neighborhood to Mrs. Sam Chapman’s plantation two miles from Crawfordville on the White Plains road. Rev.

Here is something from a German newspaper^ * Inch will do , two things 1L . Tor you besides what it pretends to do. It will amuse you, and will give you good practice in mental arithmetic as well as ena.de you *to appear to your friends to be an extraordinarily : gifted person, bays the , newspaper in ques tiou, the age of a person and the month m which , . . he was born , may he , , e.U.

Suppose hv is forty-uiuc years of age, and was born in February the computation might stand thus: 2x2 equals 4, plus 5 equals !), x 50 equals 450, plus 40 equals 400, minus 805 equals 154, plus 115 equals 249; the last two iigures indicate the age— viz., 40, and the first figure, 2, Feb¬ ruary, the second month of the year. You simply ask the person to state the result of the calculation, and then de¬ clare that lie was born in February and is, fiAty-nine years of age, Experiment with Ibis as oiten as you please and it is sure to work, provided you do it correctly. Eli jay Sentinel: Many men do not appreciate their wives until they have worked themselves to death and lie ddwn wearily to their long rest. Many husbands are selfish and almost inhu¬ man without knowing it. They never think of the thousand and one little things that worry a woman with a lot of young children. Sometimes a kind word, a smile, a little help around the house at a busy time are like the halm of Gilead to the weary soul of the wife. If yo have a good wife Cue is worth L 'C-eight in gold Be good to her. If s.ie burns her bread or 1ms too much soda in the biscuit occasionally, say nothing. If she serves a particularly good meal, complimeut her cookery. Be good to your wife and treat her with the same politeness and consider¬ ation that you would some other man’s wife and you will feel better. The United States lisli ear was in Augusta last Thursday, in charge of Mr. Elbert Stiles and Mr. Ellis, and by order of the United Stats Fish Com¬ mission, 1,500,000 shad, three days of age, were placed in the Savannah river at the foot of Jackson Street. The lish weic hatched in Washing¬ ton city, and the spawn was taken from the " ‘ovnae river. Ahalf million were placed in the Oc imilgce at Macon and the same number in the Ogeecheo at Midville.—Daily Triliune. Epward Atkinson figures that the crop is worth over -if 140,000,000. Con pared to the wool and pig-iron out put, eggs are in the lead. The total outpiut of pig-iron last year was $80, OOO.riOO,while the wool crop netled$(iO, 000, 1)00, which makes the combined resu t of the last two commodities equal to that of eggs. In the wilt of the lute Aquilla J. Cheiey, who died near Atlanta , several , months a^o. a beneficiary to the ex lent . . j of c & $100,000 baa- is . left to Mercer .

Don’t you re member seeing him the other day. You had better shun him as you would a rattle suake, or he will get you into trouble. Notice.
