R. L. Campbell commenced teaching here in a lit¬ tle store house, and had but four students. So rapid has been the growth of this school, that to-day we have a fine academy erected, and about one hundred students. This Institution, being in a healthly country—abounding in pure water clear as a crystal, gath¬ ering from the bosom of the earth, makes it one of the most delightful summer resorts in North Georgia. Those who desire a prftctial educa¬ tion Wotllil do Well to patronize this school." Judge Howard Van Epps will hereafter impose chaingang penal¬ ties upon all persons convicted in the city court of carrying conceal¬ ed weapons. Yesterday morning a negro was convicted, and, in pass¬ ing sentence, the judge said: “It is the sentence of the court that you serve four months on the publfc works. All persons—whether high r low, rich or poor, respectable or dissolute, no matter who they may be—Who shall be convicted ih this court of carrying concealed weap¬ ons, will be dealt with in the same way. I hereby announce it my fix¬ ed purpose to enforce this law vig orously. Carrying concealed weap* ohs must cease. The minimum pen¬ alty in all cases of this character will be four months on the public works. ’Thera will be no fines. If the most distinguished citizen of Fulton county should be convicted of this offense I would not hesitate to impose this penalty. I shall give him foilr months in the chain- gang, no matter who he may be." —Atlanta Constitution. The bad habit, or practice, of carrying Concealed weapons s so deeply rooted in the mind of some people that il Will require heroic treatment to eradicate it. A man is Wry foolish dr very thought- less who will allow himself tb fall intb shell a habit. Meh ought to respect themselves and Society more that! this. In a Christian country ahd iti this enlightened age what use has a than for a pis- tol? Does lie have murder In his heart when he thrusts Lhedeadly in- strument into his hip pocket? Does he really meati to take the life of his fellow'being if a chance ptesents it Self? We arc charitable enough to believe that in most cases it is the result of thoughtlessness, A man may Carry a pistol under the impression that he does so to de- fend himself, or, as is the case With many boys, to tnakehitfi 'feel like a man,” hot stopping to think that true manhood dfeSpises such ah action ahd trite Courage sedrns siich a proof of cowardice If you are ? true man let pi«tols alone As onefsowoth so shall he reap, i n no depaitrw^ of life need one expect pickle investments to yield double eagle results.

A frantic grip upon the sjvigot causes many a man to be drowned from the bung. It is the dread of punishment, rather tnan the punishment itself, that restrains us from evil doing, Many times a boy would gladly run away and go fishing on Sunday if he could only get his father to thrash him in the morning before he sets out, then he could enjoy the whole long day without a pang. But when he has to wait until evening for it the dread of that unknown ill that awaits him clouds all his skies and pitches all his songs in minor keys. ’TWAS ever thus. A newspaper and a newspaper editor that people don’t critidse and sometimes abuse are poor con¬ cerns. The men that an editor sometimes feels it his duty to de¬ fend at the risk of making enemies of another class are the first to show ingratitude. The editor who expects to receive too much charity or gratitude will soon find out his mistake. It has been very truly said that if an editor makes a mistake in his paper, all the world sees it and calls him a fool. When a private citizen makes a mistake nobody knows it except a few friends 2nd they come arouild and ask the ed¬ itor to keep it out of the paper. When a private citizen dies the'ed- itor is asked to write of his good qualities and keep the bad out. But when the editor dies the pri¬ vate citizen fcays: “Now that darned liar will get his just deserts.” If your local paper happens to tread toes .... little the . on votir a m performance of . . . don , , its mission, t get your back Up ahd abuse the editor, , but stop and , take a gooi , breath , and , think ,.' for . a season • a ■ see u J you can t remember , . , . . the favors and kindness it sliown , . the , past, , ” to you m tn reflect that it may hot be long l fore you want some faVor again. Athens Graphic. The Georgia division of tha Farmer's Alliailce met in Atlanta a few days ago to discuss the feasi ibility of establishing a central ext chahgc with a capital of $ 1,000,000. The leading farmers of Georgia were present and there were visi¬ ting delegates from Texas, Florida, Alabama and other southern states. Tne Alliance of Georgia has 60,@00 members aifd a plan to raise $1, 000,000 by assessment upor v the members to establish an Exchange for selling their crops and buying- goods was devised. jUMBtt aNd WocJlPolk Jumbo JcWett, the big man who weighs 649 pounds in his stocking feet, Has expressed a great desire to see Tom Woolfolk; and on the other hand Woolfolk io equally as desirous of seeing Jumbo.

The ac¬ tion of the Georgia railroad com¬ mission in requiring exact change to be given by the railroads to per¬ sons buying tickets has no doubt much to do with the increase in the use of pennies in this state. They are used now in merchandise in this and other states, where a few years ago they could hardly be pass¬ ed. This is a good sign, and it will be found benficial to the south, if the penny comes into as general use here as it is in the north. "If the people will take care of the pennies, the dollars will take care of themselves."
