THE COUNTY TEACHERS' ASSOCIA
TION TO MEET THERE EARLY
IN APRIL.
An Interesting and Profitable Meeting
Last Saturday in Dawson--What
Was Saii and Done.
Tbe regular monthly meeting of the
Terrell County Teachers' Association
was held in the chapel of the city public
schools last Saturday.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, Prof. C. E. Grubbs, of Bron
wood, and Rev. H. R. McLendon led in
prayer. The secretary, Prof. E. E. Brit
ton, read the minutes of the last meeting
and they were adopted.
After the transaction of routine busi
ness Prof. . E. Grubbs made a most
practical talk on the subject of geogra
phy, illustrating his work with globe and
backboard exposition. Prof. W. H.
Hiller, because he was suffering from a
severe cold and was very hoarse, was
excused from his address, and WMiss
Annes Pilsbury read a paper on the
teaching of history. This paper was up
to date in all respects, and several of the
members took occasion to compliment
Miss Pilsbury on the value of her paper.
Prof. M. J. Yeomans next came to the
platform and in the course of his talk
on permanship made many pertinent
hits as to the proper method of teaching
this important exercise. Hegave a num
ber of valuable forms to be used by the
teachers.
| The last work of the day was the sug
‘gestive talkon arithmetic by Prof. E. E.
Britton, who went at his subject with a
will. He gave a variety of plans for
working up interest in the arithmetic
class, and illustrated his work with
examples on the blackboard.
Prof. Grubbs extended an invitation to
the association to hold its next meeting
at Bronwood. The invitation was accept
ed, and teachers and friends of education
are urged to be present at Bronwood on
the second Saturday in April. There will
be two sessions of the association, one in
the morning and one in the afternoon.
Prof. Grubbs stated that dinner would
be seryed on the grounds to all comers.
Arrangements will be'made to have an
address on some educational topic from
some educator especially for the benefit
of the patrons of the schools. The ex
ecutive committee of the association will
announce a full programme within the
next week.
Tt is hoped that there will be a large|
party of visitors from Dawson to this
meeting at Bronwoed,
Womanhood
has its own special medicine in Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. And
every woman who is ‘‘run-dewn’ or
overworked, every woman who suffers
from any ‘‘female complaint”’ or weak:
ness, needs just that remedy. With it,
every disturbance, irregularity, and de
rangement can be permanently cured.
It's an invigorating, restorative tonic,
a soothing and strengthening nervine,
and the only medicine for women so safe
and sure that it can be guaranteed. In
periodical pains, displacement, weak
back, bearing-down sensations, ani every
kindred ailments, if it fails to benefit or
cure, you have your money back. Is
anything that isn’t sold in this way like
ly to be “just as good?"’

—A remarkable case of stealing devel
oped at Griffin Friday.. John Morton, a
negro convict, who is serving -his third
sentence for stealing cotton seed, was
allowed many privileges as a trusty. He
succeeded in making an arrangement for
doing a litcle stealing while he was in
the chaingang. He stole a cow and
carried it to town and sold it;to a butch
er. He made no attempt to escape, but,
after stealing the cow and selling it,
went quietly Jack to the chaingang. He
had an accomplice whom he refuses to
tell on.
Texas cattlemen lost 25 per cent of
their beeves during the February freeze.
But the price of beef will be higher in
consequence, and there is some consola- ‘
tion to be had from that. l

‘ KNOWLEDGE
" Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to gersonal enjoyment when |
rightly used. The many, who live bet- |
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of fihysical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dis(felliug aolds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of F:igs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
