I’bis Institution will open its Spring Session early in January, pros., (dak
will be announced iu The Weekly), and continue six months.
The design of the inauguration of this school is to give to McDonough
and Henry county a school established on the onlii true basis for the couuduci
of a meritorious school, viz : Upon the merit of teachers alone, and not on the
basis of a tnouey consideration.
No effort will he spared to place this school abreast of the best institutions
ol learning in the State. It will be uo evanescent “will o’-the wisp,” but is
designed to be permanent —a fixture—and to take such rank that its promoters,
aud patrons, and the community generally shall point with pride to “our”
school.
The Principal will conduct a Special Department in which boys aud
girls may be prepared for any class in any College in the State, and the cur
riculum will be so arranged as to prepare those who do not intend to obtain a
College Course a practical education for the affairs of life.
The School will be opened iu a comfortable building (the late A. C.
Sloan’s place), and a new aud adequate building will be erected during the
Spring Session.
Rates (will be announced later) of tuition very reasonable.
In the very beginning of this enterprise we ask the aid and co-operation
of all, as we fully realize that unaided by your cordial support, and patronage,
we can but attain to a very meager success, if, iudeed, to any at all. So give
us all the encouragement you can, and we promise in return a devotion to the
interest of your children that shall tell in the days to come.

Mrs. Ham, Ist Assistant.
Miss (to be filled) 2nd Assistant.
Miss Clifford Zachry, Music.
Killed by a Train.
A very sad and unfortunate accident
was the killing of Mr. Joseph Smith
by a passenger train, at Locust Grove,
last Friday morning.
Mr. Smith, so we have been informed,
had started out to feed some hogs he
had in a lot across the railroad, and it
being rather cool at that hour iu the
morning had his head covered with a
wrap. Not thinking of the train, aud
the wrap excluding all sounds of its
approach, he stopped on the track just
long enough to be struck by the pilot
of the approaching engine aud hurled
into the air a considerable distance,
breaking his neck in the fall.
Coroner Coker was summoned at
once, and held an inquest over the re
mains. The verdict of the jury was
that his death was the result of negli
gence on the part of the fireman and
engineer.
Mr. Smith was oue of Henry’s oldest
and best citizens, being in his 74th
year at the time of his death; was for
many years a staunch member of the
Baptist church and was highly respect
ed by all with whom he came iu con
tact. He was the father of Rev. R.
F. Smith, of Locust Grove, to whom
the sympathy of his numerous friends
is extended in his bereavement.
Hymenal,
At the residence of Mr. S. M. Ogles
by, father of the bride, Mr. Wm. 13.
Carmichael and Miss Carrie Oglesby
were married last Wednesday after
noon by Rev. E. Culpepper.
It was a very pretty, quiet affair*
witnessed only by the immediate rela
tives and a few special friends.
Mr. Carmichael is a prosperous young
farmer of this county, and is an ener
getic and affable young gentleman.
Miss Oglesby is one of Henry county’s
most lovely social gems, and the fortu
nate groom should indeed congratulate
himself upon securing such a prize iu
in the lottery of life.
The Weekly wafts them congratu
lations,
Preaching.
1 will preach next Sunday, the weath
er and Providence permitting, in the
city of McDonough, 11 o’clock,
on the New and Prophetic Kingdom
of Christ. Everybody invited.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. (’atarrh being a
constitutional disease, requares a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution aud assisting nature iu do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

An intellectual amusement recently
devised in Boston consists of writing a
capital D on a sheet of paper while
standing at a table and trying to make
the right foot swing in the opoiite di
rection from that which the pencil is
following on the paper. No one, so
far as heard from, has been able to
perform the feat. You get your foot
swinging nicely in the oposite direction
from that min which you know jou
are going to make the big loop of the
D, and firmly resolve that you will
keep it going the same way while you
are writing; but as soon as you get
started on the letter your foot turns
and goes the other way.

Gray, a trend an.. associate in busines.
He arieved in Atlanta on Tuesday
