Wisconsin politicians are
good deal disturbed by a court
decision which gives women
the fight to vote for
city 0fleers. A law has passed
granting female suffrage on all
matters pertaining to public
school, and the women claimed
that this gave them the right to
vote for Mayor and Aldermen,
having contrail of the school
appropriations, as these officers
have virtually the management
of the schools. This view of
the law was upheld by one of
the State courts, and now the
politicians hove appealed to
higher court.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis’ recent
letter to Col. W. H. Ross, of Ma
con, declining to accept a sub-
sciption fund for herself and
husband, is receiving much
praise, both for the propriety ot
the action taken and from its
excellence from a literary
standpoint. The New York
Graphic says that Mrs. Davis
writes an able letter,” and the
Hartford Times, after praising
“the csmtnendable spirit
shown,” commends its tone aud
elegance. .Mrs. Davis is one of
the best educated and most ac

with the order maintained and

forced: The sentences parsed

Recess was gireu, while
were there, but there was no
wild break for the door, as we
have known. At a given word,
“One,” each scholar secured
bonnet or hat, “Two," resumed
places at the desks, “Three,’’
inarched out of the room and
down the steps. Everything
works 'ike machinery, and if
any scholar desires to spend
the recess of twenty min

may return up another stair

pass the “recess time” without
first having taken this walk, iu

School Meeting.
We are requested to announce
that a full attendance of the
citizens of Waycross, is desired
at tho High School house next
Friday night, at 7 o’clock, sharp.
We have said full attendance,
and it ia hoped such may be the
enthusiasm on the school ques
tion, that the house will be
crowded. The action of our
citizens may have raueb to do
with the future of Wavoross, and
if all, ora represeutati ve portion
of our citizens are present at
this meeting, an intelligent and
comprehensive uudestanding of
the Free School Question may
be had.
It is an admitted fast that
the aehool facilities of Waycross
were never better than at pres
ent, under the able management
of Prof. Groff and bis assistants,
still, if anything can be done
to make a greater headway, let
the people act.
We suppose the question will
be presented and argued, pro
and con, by several citizens, and
those who attend may expect to
be entertained.

Waycross High School
Waycross has a right to be
proud of this institution. Un
der the management of Prot.
Groff, prinoipa], this school to
day will bear favorable compar
ison with any iu the land. We
spent an hour in the different
departments last Monday, and
the strict discipline, customs,
etc., of the entire establishment
we found worthy of imitation in
all schools that have not learned
to ohseive progressiva rules,
We first visited the room oc
cupied by Miss Lula Ingraham,
of whom we have before spoken,
aud found her intermediate
class (we suppose that would be
a correct way of grading them)
in the midst of its geography
lesson recitation, which was well
conducted and almost perfect.
Misses Clara Bennett, Millie
Buchanan, and Master Joseph
Brewer favored ns with each,
rending selection, which proved
(heiradvancement and the per
fect trainiug they were subject
ed to. We learned, (rout the
children, that they are thor-
oughly in accord with their
teacher, and were anxiom to
obtain all the knowledge she
would give them, and as she is
an accomplished teacher it is
ash to assume that (his depart
ment of the ^Igh School is in
a prospering condition.
On the jelt of the entrance,
we found Miss Mamie Shine,
and her, primary department.
As wa entered - a reading class
was on the floor, and although
some of the scholars were small
all did well. We uoticed at
glance, that every papil bad
respect for their faithful teach
er that is always necessary in
training tho young. When nn0
of the little fejlows would go to
Miss Shine to help them over a
bard word, the answer was al
ways given kindly and willing
ly. This has much to do witli

IT IS BUT NATURAL
That we should give Wayoross the first pick for space and

three thousand copies will be printed.
IT WAS A
When we began canvassing
for our trade paper last Septem
ber, some doubts were entertained
as to our ability for handling an
eight page paper, but as some of
our merchants came to our assis
tance, we weathered the storm
without any trouble and gave to
this community the best gotten up
edition of that character ever pub
lished in Southern fiieorgia. The
public have said so; the press has
said so; and now, we intend, in
risking our reputation, to outstrip
anything ever before attempted,
