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.

t..ne, half the labor and all the
worry of ironing day. Iron and

Brantley’s Job One
Os Best In Country.
Washington, D. 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. Smith, Lyons; j
