THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
— 0 - 0 —
The contract for building tho court
house was let on the first Tuesday in
May to Messrs. W. H. Taylor and A. J
Gannon, at 13,490.
That is uiigUty cheap for a two
story brick hou-e 40XG0 Let, three
miles from the railroad. They say
they will buiid the house all right.
They may build it at that price, but
we can’t see how they can. We haye
never buiit any brick houses, and
don’t know the cost of the things, but
one thing wo do know, they are heavy,
t is estimated that it will take 150,-
000 brick, 150 barrels oflime and 150
loads of sand. These three articles
will weigh about 400 tons, and it will
take a man with two b'g mules, and
a strong wagon eight months to haul
them up. Then the money is far
spent, and the house not started. The
uexi bid was $1,500 more, which was
low enough indeed.
The work was commenced Wednes¬
day, we hope they will complete the
house without an/ trouble.

THE MEETING CLOSED.
The spring meeting at the
Methodist church closed Sunday
night. Three joined by profes¬
sion of faith, and three by letter.
The meeting was full of interest
all the way through, despite the
late hour of the night aervice.
Our F.anders did excellently
in the management of the meet-
and . _ Bros. Glenn and Stulls ,
iog,
worked very zealously. Whether
or not any good was accomplished
is recorded beyond the concep¬
tion of man.
The highest point of interest
was on the closing day. Presi¬
ding elder Stubbs took for his
text Sunday morning, “Let not
your good be evil spoken of » >
(Romans XIV, Hi.) and preached
on the subject of the evil of con¬
demning others for things indiff¬
erent. He proceeded to handle
without gloves, the mode of
church worship here during the
last two years. He condemned
some of the teachings of the holi¬
ness leaders, by saying that Dr.
Pierce, according to their doctrine
was lost, because ‘he used a little
tobacco as long as he lived.”
Referring to an article in last
week’s Holiness Advocate con¬
demning Free Masonry, he said
that according to that, Bishop
Pierce was burning today, for
being a Mason when he lived.
The sermon has caused so much
comment, that we have made an
effort to get . for
a synopsis our
next issue.
ttt We are very sorry „ the meeting ,.
could not run another week.

TO TI1E PATRONS OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL.
Ashburn, Ga , May. 18, 1897.—The
present scholastic year expires ,lun''
the 4th. My object in publishing thi-
announcement is to give every parent
ample time to make arrangements to
spend from 9 o’clock till 4. p. in. at
the Academy on that day. 1 am
aware that pos-ibly some will bo nn-
able to do so, bid surely every parent
who can do so, will bejwiling to lay
aside other business one day. that you
may come in close contact with your
scliool, and the work of your children.
1 urgently re quest every parent to
give us this much the educational time, to encourage
and advance interest
of vour town. It is unquestionably as
much a duty to do ibis as it is to send
your children to school.
1 desire to say also, to others who
arc i ot so directly connected with the
school as those who are patronizing it,
that I am equally anxious that you be
with us also on i lint occasion. Lef us
eudeavoi* to haye a din to cause even
person in town; or in the adjacent
oeuntry to come in c'osi r touch wi;h
our school woik. It will do much
good for all of us I" know and under-
stand eic'i ether better, and this is the
wav to bring this about. I am sure
we have men in town, no' patrons,
but anxious about the school's wel-
face, tint I want to feel as much at
h me with us, at tlie close, as the
pa'ron-.
Trietru-’ees l a . e suggested that
we have a basket dinner on the school
grounds, so we will n u be compelled
to leave at noon. It is true, this may
be impracticable with some, but let
ail who can. arrange a basket, and
bring it to the grounds. It is true
this will be some trouble, but On, we
must be willing to undergo inconve¬
nience for such a cause. Tin re was
never an educational revival without
expense, and time and efforl.
I assure you all it shall not ho a dull
day for you, on the contrary, 1 am
sure; ii will be an enjoyable time for
you. Tho exercises will consist of
recitations, songs etc. by the childien.
I will also be able t<> give you a look
into th" pc ogress of i lie children, du
ring the past year. 1 have also ar-
ranged t» haye an address by Prof
