MERITS OF DIST. AGRICI'LTIiIUL SCHOOL Montgomery County Should Accept Scholarships Alloted. At present there is no agricul tural college in the new Twelfth district, and those counties which formed a part of the Eleventh district, whose school is at Doug las, share alike the benefits of the big school at Douglas. This county has from time to time since the organization of the school furnished pupils, but last year’s attendance from Mont gomery county was not in keep ing with the advantages offered; and it is hoped that the fall open ing will find Montgomery coun ty’s apportionment. The motto of the school is “Science With Practice,” and the scope of the training is broad. The instruction is practical, em bracing the common branches of English, history, mathematics, literature, domestic science, etc., the student having the opportu nity of putting into practice on the farm and labratory the in struction received in the class rooms, which are thoroughly fit ted up for the work. Each de partment is under the supervis ion of an expert in his line, and thorough training for the pupil is the aim of the faculty. In the agricultural course the boys have the advantage of actual farm work, the school owning GUO acres of fine land, with about seventy acres in a high state of cultivation, this being divided in to sections agreeable to the ex periment work in hand. Modern farm implements are used and the work carried out on a practi cal and scientific basis. Atten tion is also given to stock raising, the farm being supplied with rep resentative breeds, and the boys are taught the advantages of cor rect and systematic breeding, feeding, marketing, etc. A military feature, band, ath letics, work shops, civil engineer ing, labratory, library, scientific training, etc., will appeal to the boys; the department of domestic science, literature, art, music, home economics, etc., will appeal to the taste of the girls. It is impossible at this time to enlarge on the merits of the school, but more specific information can be had from this office, or by writ ing Prof. C. W. Davis, Douglas, Ga. He will probably visit this county in a few days, and will endeavor to meet a number of prospective pupils. If possible his coming will be announced, and parents have an opportunity of talking with him. Parents in terested may secure handsome catalogues from The Monitor of fice. Montgomery county’s appor tionment is nine pupils—five boys and four girls—who wall be ad mitted to the dormitories. These nine pupils are not required to pay tuition, but will pay board at regular rates, together with such incidentals as are generally charged at all schools of this class. The moral surroundings are good, the instruction thorough, and the general advantages are doubtless as good as can be obtained out side of the larger colleges, and it is hoped that Montgomery county will send at least nine pu pils to Douglas this fall. Ses sion opens Wednesday, Sept. 10. H. B. Folsom, Mt. Vernon, as trustee from Montgomery, will be glad to confer with prospec tive pupils and give further in formation regarding the school, surroundings, advantages, etc. For Summer Time.

C., July 29. — Ex-Congressman William G. Brantley, of the Eleventh Geor gia district, has landed what is said to be the most enviable posi tion in the law field in the United States. He is counsel for all the railroads of the South at a salary said to be $35,000 a year with all expenses paid. His clients main tain splendid offices here for him besides the payment of his salary 1 and expenses. Mr. Brantley’s friends say that no man has ever been more high ly honored than was Mr. Brant ley when the position which he holds was created for him. The roads asked their counsel to rec ommend the best man in the United States for an unpreced ented position, namely that of counsel for all the roads in the South. Practically without ex ception they recommended Mr. Brantley as being the best con stitutional lawyer in the country and the man most fitted to look out for the interests of the rail roads in Washington. MOUSE PARTY INSTEAD OF WOODLAND PICNIC Many Young Folks Gather Under Hospitable Roof. The elaborate outing which was planned by Dr. and Mrs. O. J. Whipple and Mr. and Mrs. I). Q. Coleman, at Wistaria Springs on the Altamaha, for the 22d inst., on account of the rain was converted into a splendid event, celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, near Uvalda, and the pleasure of this gather ing was all that could have been crowded into the hours given to it. The occasion was in honor of Messrs. R. L. O’Neal, N. S. Meadows and W. F. McAllister —an anniversary affair, in which these three young men shared the same birthbay, and being somewhere between their six teenth and forty-ninth years. But no further discussion of this feature. ' They were rained out, —or rather rained in, —for it was a happy crowd that assembled at the Coleman home for the fes tivities that would have been theirs in a little different form at the river. A bountiful lunch was served on the broad verandas, while at five in the afternoon ; came on the fish dinner. Cream, | iced melons and other dainties were graciously served, and j games and other pastimes were indulged in. The young people engaged in a shooting contest (but Cupid, of bow and arrow! fame, was probable declared the ; winner.) The river and the spring and the rain were all for gotten as the hours sped gaily by, but there lingers still the memory of the happy hours al loted to the guests of this occas sion. Dr. and Mrs. Whipple and Mr. and Mrs. Coleman were de clared worthy of the highest praise as entertainers, as nothing was lacking in the success of the occasion. Those present were; Dr. and Mrs. O. J. Whipple, Mr. and Mrs. D. Q. Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Calhoun, Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Mobley, Mr. and i Mrs. *W. P. C.
