WEEKLY 5 TIMES. J. A. FOCCUK, Editor. Entered at tliopostofiiee nt McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., Dec. IG, 1892. The School Question. The meeting called at the court house last Saturday night, to discuss the school interests of' McDonough, was organized by electing Col. C. T. Zachry chairman, and J. A. Fouche secretary. Mr. Thos. D. Stewart stated the ob ject of the meeting, and then proposed a plan to buy the Institute and make it a voluntary gift to the city. A free discussion then followed, participated in by Messrs. Stewart, Ham, Nolan, Bledsoe, Daniel, Zachry and others. The sentiment of those present was favorable to the plan stated, many pro posing to donate the stock they now hold, some liberal cash contributions being offered in addition. A commit tee, consisting of A. A. Lemon, A. F. Bunn and J. A. Foache, was then ap pointed to solicit contributions, see what arrangements could be made with the present stockholders, and report to a meeting at the court house again to-night. This appears to us to be the very plau upon which all may permanently unite and build up the woefully neg lected school iuterests of our otherwise favored community. Unity in all things is au acknowledged licet ssity to success, and too apparent to public spirited people to be dwelt upon. Let every friend of McDonough In stitute take advantage of this opportu nity for the good of tlie school. Be ou hand to night prepared to do your duty for it regardless of all out side cousiderations, and so sure as time rolls around McDonough will possess school advantages worthy of her town and community. For your love of homo go out to night and do something that will credit you as progtessive, harmonious people. Hi tter School Houses Needed. Our attcutiou has been called by a worthy authority to the importance of urging the people of the county to build better aud more comfortable school houses. Very few localities outside of the towns have houses at ull tit for the pur poses for which they are used. Most of them are dilapidated uncomfortable shanties which are sweat boxes in sum mer aud ice houses in winter. Hardly any of them are provided with suffi cient heating apparatus or any of ilie conveniences necessary for successful teaching. The people of the different school lo calities should consider these matters aud see to it that at least comfortable houses are erected in place of those which are both indecent and inhuman. They' should not be conteut to have their children penned up in houses any less comfortablo at least than their home. Each, community should take a pride in its school-house. Very small con tributious from each patron will gener ally raise a sum sufficient to provide a good house, and such will add a great deal to the advancement of the schol ars. Let those communities which have them not think the matter over aud lose no time in acting upon the sug gestion. .Tacksou, Covington. Griffin, Barnes vtlle, iu fact nearly all of the towns around us, realizing the great benefit to be derived from small manufactories —aud large cues, too, for that matter —have gone assiduously to work to build aud cause to he built iu their midst every thing of this nature pos-i hie, while McDonough still sits! sereuely ou the high hill of do nothing, disdaining even a passing notice to the goldeu opportunities swiftly speeding by. Even our wide-awake, energetic, little neighbor, Locust Grove, has far excelled us iu this direction. \Ye i need manufactories to stimulate! our town and make it take on a good ] healthy growth. Every dollar spent in this direction is as “bread cast upon the waters.” With them business will flourish ; our population will increase ; the value of real estate will be eu hauced, besides other benefits to nu merous to detail. Build manufactories. It has been demonstrated in such a number of adjoining towns that good schools, made such by the unanimous support of their citizens, have been such potent factors in their upbuilding, financially, intellectually and morallv, that we can't for one moment doubt hut that the citizens of McDonough, seeing and realizing'this, will come to gether and with unity and harmony “put their shoulders to the wheel” and make McDonough Institute what it was intended to bo, could he and should be —the model seat of learning of this section. The state tax will be reduced about 25.100 mills next year. The rate w ill be S4.GO on the SI,UGO as against * 4>o this year. HENRY COl NTY And Hrr People as Seen l»y a Ui'ifllu Morning Call Reporter. McDonough, Ga., Dec. G—This lias been a great week in Henry county j aud numerous changes of importance i have been made. To-day has been public sale day in this town and numerous land sales have been marie that have a signficant importance, and a lot of live stock and personal effect have changed hands. Col. Chas M. Speer, formetly editor of the Henry County Weekly, sold his farm and personal effects preparatory to moving and the bidding was lively. One of the most auspicious sales made during the week was that of the Tim Barham place, near Luella, in this couuty, which was sold to Mr. I’om J. Brown, a prominent and pros perous young planter, who Las made a fortune by his own exertions. He has now about 1,000 acres of land under his control, anil is recognized as one of the leading young planters of tho state. His whole soul and energy is devoted to planting and it will not be long be fore this section will “blossom as the rose” under his management. Col. .J. H. Lowe, of New Y'ork, At lanfa and flenry county, a capitalist who possesses heart as well as capital, is in the county, and his presence is felt, as he is a friend to almost every farmer in this secton, and many owe their pros perily to his leniecy and kindness. Luella, a charming little village of this county, is now in a most prosper ous condition, and Mr. A, It. Martin, the prominent merchant of the place lias added a fanning interest to his mer cantile business that will greatly add to his prosperity, lie is a young man of vim and energy, such as the Cull al ways bids ‘‘God speed” to. I’rof. Geo. Bivins lias opened a fine school at Luella, and during the holi days tlio young idea will be taught to shoot uuder the moat approved meth ods. At Mr. Watts Akins, in the middle portion of the couuty, Miss Ada Mc- Laughlin, a charming young lady of Greenville, Ga., lias a fine school of 21 scholars, and is engaged especially to teach little Miss Leone Akins music. Mr. Akins owns about 1,100 acres of the finest farming lauds of the county and spares no pains or expense to give his childern every benefit that a laud’ cd proprietor can bestow -upon them. His home is u perfect gem of a place and lias but few equals anywhere. This is one of the finest sections of cpuutry to he found anywhere, for around in this section you find farmers like T. D. Weems, A. E. Brown, Walts Akins, S. It. Brown, T. J. Brown, C. W. Dupree, Jason Weems, John Copeland, W. W. Amis, Wilson Puffin, Win. Kimbell and others who know nothing of western markets lor iLo homo consumption of the necessar ies of life, hut who “live at homo and hoard at the same place” and always raises a surplus of provisions. This is a glorious and hospitable people, and if tlio“old man” of the Cull could only spend a fow days with them, accompanied by Jim Guerry, they would he in their elements. 11. I*. B. THE NEW DATES.

FEN ININ K FASHIONS Criticised lly One of McDoiiougiTs Old liacliciorH. Mr. Editor :—The ri.iieuloumi s of some things that come under our observation is provoking enough to elicit commjnt from the verriest dijl lard. Girls ore now wearing the "i.-ntlvman’s hat I Who ever dreamed of ihe like o’ that I It would he funny, were it not ridiculous. However much we admire the ladies, we are obliged to abominate some of their fashions. It is our opin. ion that every right thinking man des pises mauishness in women whether it he in disposition oi appearance. We are naturally disposed TO become like those whom we admire, hut this kind of assimilation, while it may he com plimentary, is not at all pleasing to tho man, aud tends to diminish his esteem | for the fair sex. It is difficult sometimes to determine whether a person is, or is not, a member of the church, and in order to deter mine we use the impertinence to ask tin m plainly: “Are you a member of the church ?” But, great Scotts ! who ever thought that the time would come when we old bachelors would lie found in such embarrassing, yet justifiable perplexity, as not to know, because of similarity of dress, a young lady from a young man. We would hate like anything to be asking : “Are you a Miss, or a Mister?” It’s very common, you know, for women to wear the breeches after they are married, hut to put them on before hand, is en tirely a new thing. But novelty is bet ter than monotony, and if they are go ing to wear tho hat, we see no reason why they shouldn’t wear the breeches, coat, boots, and all ; bird hunt, ride the hycicle, and play base ball. Then the milliner could sell, Besides rililion and sash, A brand new article, viz : The ladies’ mustache. “No heathen god or goddess has ever had more zealous devotees than fashion, or a more absurd and humiliating ritu al, or more mortifying and cruel pen ances. Her laws, like those of the Medea and Persians, must be implicitly obeyed, hut unlike them, change, as cer tainly as the moon. They are rarely founded in reason, usually violate com mon sense, sometimes common decency, and uniformly common comfort.” Bachelor. CUriIJS PRANKS.
