Grady Academy.
Asa demand for better educational
taoihies the citizens -n the videity of
Pruitt have gotten together and com
menced the erection of a handsome
commodious public school building at
Damascus church, on the pnhlic road
leading from llomer toToccoa.
At present we have a school at
Washington Academy in cliaige of
P* of. Wesibrooks f mile from the
site selected for the new budding,
while Prof. Coffee is conducting a
school at Caudell's Academy 11 miles
from the new building.
The object of the new academy to
which the citizens have given the
name Grady in honor of the lamented
and beloved Georgian is to unite these
two schools. The building at Wash
ington having become dilapidated and
•unsufficient for school purposes. The
school at Caudell’s being taught in n
private house, the citizens were com
pelled to either build two houses or
unite on a suitable location convenient
to both schools. After consultation
the latter course war, considered ad
visable.
No more convenient a location for
all parties concerned could have been
made than the one agreed upon. The
site.is a beautiful one indeed, conven
ient of access, good roads leading off
in all directions. No pupils will have
over two and one half miles to walk at
the fartherest, and only about three
families will have this fur.
No plausible reasons can be given
why the Board should not recogn*ze
this school ns the best possible ar
rangements that could be made. The
patrons with ono accord are limited
I and well pleased with the location.
They are determined to avail them
selves of the opportunity of building
up i school second to nono in the
con . ty.
The buiidinr, now rapidly going
up is being built on a modern style.
It will contain one large hall 24x40 ft
we!' ventilated, nicely finish 'd and
supplied with the necessary heating
apparatus in addition to otherconv.cn
•lit apartnmnu. When completed
nil the necessary charts, maps etc.,
will be supplied.
Located on the church lot in front
a beautiful play g.ourfd. At no
great distance is a large cold spring
famous for its pure crystal water.
This spot indeed seems to have been
><;ned by nature for this especial
purpose.
This i one of the most progressive
sections of the country. Ifero can be
found some of as wide-awake progress
ive citizens as anywhere surrounding
the school is a number of good honest
energetic, hardworking farmers. The
Very life and siuew of a county.
They realize that the way to make
good citizens is to educate them sons
and daughters in the way they should
go.
Who can engage in a more noble
and patriotic work than the advance
ment of the educational interest of
their country ? We be'ieve th® citi
zens of tins county are fully aware of
the great necessity of a better educa
tion of the youth who are soon to as- j
sume the responsibilities of citizenship j

enthused on this subject.
We should not neglect to mention
in cannoction with this enterprise the
names ot those who have so generous
ly and liberally aided to make this
new building an assured success.
Among those who have done much
and who should ever be remember in
this work we mention names of A. J.
Brown, J. H. Sellers, J. M. Cochran,
P. L. Caudcll, Wm. Ward, W. H.
Fouler and others.
No permanent arrangements have
as yet been made for a teacher there
is an opportunity for some energetic
teacher to secure a good position.
We predict for the school a bright tu
tuio and think no less than 100 pupils
will be enrolled first term.
The Boavd will be asked to pass
upon the school 23 inst.

Too Many Parties.
In a repubilcan government there
is always the menance of too many
political parties' This is unfortunate
because the greater the division
among the people on public issues
the greater the strife and the less of
real prosperity. These divisions
come chiefly through the scheming of
ambitious place-hunters, who aro ever
ready to stir up the prejudices and
i aflame the passions of the people for
tho’r own personal aggrandizement.
If left to their own inclinations the j
masses of the people will not greatly
divide on public issues, rather pre
ferring to follow the lead of whom I
every community' can claim a'unit
ed number.—Piedmont, Ala., In

“I traa troubled with heart dlae.aac
for six years, severe palpitations, short
ness of breath, together with such ex

walk the floor nearly all night. Wo
consulted the best medical talent.
They said there tea:: no help for me,
that I had organic disease of the heart for
which there was no remedy. I had read
your advertisement in The Graphic and
a year ago, as a last resort, tried one bottle of

which convinced mo that there was true
merit In It. I took three bottles each ot the
Heart Cure and Restorative Nervine and
11 completely cured me. I sleep
well at night, my heart beats regularly and
I have no more smothering spells. I wish
to say to all who aro suffering as I did;
there’s relief untold for them If they will
only give your remedies just ono trial.”
