ANNOUNCEMENT OF >rcl)oi|ougli Higli Sd\ool. 1 11111 ■ '■ ■» 111 > *■ ■ 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. 0. E. IIAM, Principal. 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. Rev. S. M. Tidwell. SIOO Reward .f loo.

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.
