A Washington correspondent says that Senator Hawley’s piarriage to an English woman lias injurrd his presidential prospects. The Senator’s Pres idential prospects are of a na ture that do not admit of inquiry. Rev. W. J. Pirkle, of Cum- piing, planted fiv> jjnd a half acres in tobacco this year, and made pounds, which-he is yelling readily at fifteen cents per pound, being allowed by iff fo ae|l pna .hundred dollars Worth at retail, 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. ,Qny of the sights of Fifth av- /enue, New York, is the daily promenade of a set of triplets, all girls, who are escorted by tw/> nuyjes. The children are five years old and as like as peas, and always beautifully dressed. It tajtfj rich New Yorkers to do Rite sort of thing. A lady in Ifilton, Pa., who Was nccqstqd by a rascal just at dusk the other evening, defend ed herself in p novel way. She was returning from marketing pud bad in hot basket a piece pf bologna sausage which the pointed at the fellow, crying put: “Yoi) scoundrel, if you foqpb me I will' shoot you.” Supposing it was a pistol she jqtd, the man tpjjk to hit heels. 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 complished women in the country, and her peculiar posi tion and a womanly reserve have deprived society of’a nota ble light. ren after which teaching is easy. Up stairs, on the right, we foand Prof. Groff, and Ibe high school. This, wa fouud, to be an Interesting department, where young ladies, misses and gentlemen ware taught in the higher grades. The class iu English Grammar recited the morning’s lessons in our hear ing, and we were well pleased with the order maintained and the strict discipline en forced: The sentences parsed were divided, and word by word carried through the ordeal, and f a pupil made a mistake, she or he was quickly snapped down, No half-learned lesson can pass here. The students mqst master the lesson in hand, be seated,” if a mistake is made,or aquestion unanswered. 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 utes in studying a lesson, they may return up another stair way, but no one is allowed to pass the “recess time” without first having taken this walk, iu military style down and up the stairways. We sorrow that our time was limited to an bour,and our space to a few inobex, but the clever principal, accomplihsed assis tants and obedient, hard-work ing pupils may expect us again. 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. The Headlight would _ be pleased to hear from Rev. W. F. Lloyd, our esteemed Presi ding Elder, on this subject, should he feel so disposed, not for ourselves alone, but to satis fy others of his friends. Electijc Bjttarg.

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 winning the hearts of the child Waresboro’x Teachers' In- stltutc.

Several hundred dollars in subscriptions, advertising and job work accounts are upon our hooks, long since due, but we have tagged along patiently, thinking those whom we have favored would come and settle, but have been disappointed. The year is drawing to a close now, and if any person who is due us subscriptions, wants this paper continued, they would do well to call at this office. II they do not want it, they will please settle back dues and we will not aunoy them any longer. Several have ordered their papers discontinued, without settling errears, and we have done so, but the law allows us to send the paper and charge for the same until the money is paid. We do not care to take advantage of the law, however, and only desire justice. If you want the paper, pay for it; if you do not, pay what you owe, and let’s quit. That’s plain talk. Advertisers and persons due us for job work are earnestly asked to settle as soon as possible. We need the money to pay our debts, and start off even with the new year. Let al) of us square up old accounts and com mence anew, help each other along and we will sleep belter, dress better, eat better, God will blee* us and our wives love us better. Now, if you know better, do better, and you’ll get along better. AO! j WARREN LOTT, \ $100,000,000 \ Fire and Accident Insurance, Waycross, Ga. Wanted.
