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 Georgia has and is doing muce to ed- j ucate her sons aud daughters we i should aid in ever possible way. We are greatly pleased to oer people HOMER, RANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA: AUGUST 22, 1895. 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. Tom K. Andkrson.

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 quirer.
