KnUsttdat the Pottofflce at l±omcr ffa. us second chits matter. It Ate* of HutMcrlplUn-l’Ilh: om year M Sixiuonthfl 25 S. L. COX, Editor A Publisher. HOMER, GA., MARCH 19, 1896. At Brftll Place*. Dr. Lockhart’s office is in Jmlg* Moss’s office west of the court house. He also keeps a small assortment of Medicine* at his home over on the farm, where he spends a good deal of hi* time superintending some improve ments etc. If you do not find him in town, inquire after him at his resi dence. Gov. Atkinson will be a candidate to succeed himself. Hon. 11. 11. Carlton lias announced for Congress in the eight. Hon. Tlios. E. Wynn will he the Populist nominee for Congress to op pose Carter Tate. They are talking the Cuban regolu tioh to depth in the Senate. The Cu- Anns are now farther from their rights than ever, the resolution passed meant only sympathy for Cuba. It was an Arizona editor who wrote to a advertising agency in the cast, soliciting an ad vertisement, to which the Utter replied by asking: “Where does your paper go?” With tnnch promptness the Arizona man answerd: “To North and Sonth America, Asia, Africa, and it's all I can do to keep it from going to hell.” We believe that Congressman Car ter Tate will be renominated without opposition, and we believe further that he will be re-elected without se rious opposition, The man that is elected from the ninth will be iu faver of silver and our con gressman has stood nobly by the white metal as well as by ull legislation that is In favor of the Inhering class.—Elli jay Courier. Green Ilartlv, a tenant on Capt. Tlouscr's farm down in Houston coun ty, plowed up a jar one day this week containing <<lß,ooo in gold and silver coin, nnd a quantity of greenback too rotten to be counted. Nobody knows who buried it there, hut Houser is claiming the money because it was found on his land, and there will be a law suit over it Under ihe English law treasure trove belongs to the crown, hut in this country to the find er, unless the true owner claims it.— Ex. Tlie State Democratic Executive Committee met in Atlanta last Satur day and decided to have but one State convention this year, and that convention to be held on the 25th of June; in Macon. It also recommended that a primary be held in each county in the State on the same day—June 6th—to nominate State officers, mem bers of tho General Assembly nnd county officers. We were op posed to the one convention idea— not bitterly opposed to it, a* some papers were, but it was out judgment that two conventions would be better for the Democratic party. Since the Executive Committee has seen fit to call but oae we are satisfied, aud feel that it did what it thought war best. We like the idea of having prima ries in all tne counties on the same day. Then the popular will of the masses can be expressed at the ballot box. Primaries the people demand, and nothing else will satisfy them. They may submit to cenventiens awhile, where just a few control, but revolts against them finally come. Te nominate all candidates on the same day we beleive will be for the interest of the country. We have been hav ing too many primaries and too many elections. Now, we will have one primary and one election lor all State and county officers, and one primary and one oleetion for Federal officers. The Executive Committee we believe will be applauded. It recommended that the voters express their choice for United States Senator at the bal lot box. This is virtually electing Senators by a diroct vote of the peo yde, whieh has been clammorod for.—• Jaeksor -Herald. TEACHER S COLUMN. DEVOTED TO THE INTER EST OF EDUCATION Communications for this Column Should lie Addressed to J. P. Demly, Homer. Qukstios for ruFiisllow.—do ti tles rank in England, and what aie they? Time allowed for answers two weeks from date. We notice tl.at Prof. J. W. Marion will open on March ICth., a Normal School at Hollingsworth, for teachers and those desiring to prepare for teaching. It affords us much pleas ure to state that Prof Marion is an “up to date' 1 educator, and we fee; as sured that those who avail themselves of this opportunity to receive Normal Training will never have cause to re gret such a step- It is a fact that in our profession we need more trained teachers. Furthermore it is a known fact that the State Normal School of this State is doing a good and great work—and before many years a line will be drawn, and of course the teach- er who has taken a Normal course will have the preference. If we watch them closely we will observe that they are more successful in their professions toe. A problem sent in by Mr. Peyton will appear next week as the question in literature that appears this week had been selected first. The following “Memory Gems” are worthy of the consideration of stu dents, especially the last one. MEMORY OEMS.

GOOD ENGLISH, W• arc glad to see that more atten tion is to be given to the proper speak ing of English on the part of teachers This is one the most important ele ments in education which has been too generally neglected. Not only do teachers too frequently use tho lan guage incorrectly, hut they set a bad example by improper pronunciation. There should be a standard of good English pronunciation as rigid'y main, tained in aur schools as the German French, Italian and Spanish standards a re adhered to in the countries whero those languages prevail. This has been generally luft to chance. Home influences too largely prevail. High pitched, nasal and strident voices flattened vowels and slovenly enunci ation are altogether two common. Children are peculiarly imitative, and with a little care thev can be made to speak rightly and in well modulated jones. One of the best of individual endowments, agreeable manner of Speech, can be easily cultivated in the young with a little care.—Newspaper Ex. Most teachers realize the need of power to intluence the company that gathers before them daily. Let them refiect upon Homer who pass id away 3,000 years ago. What diu he ure to charm the listeners? lie used a form of language that lives to day, and will live. literature is indeed a power in the teacher. Not the inci dent. literature is one of the highest powers, and the teacher should know the best tnrms. There is a list of 100 Best Books which some teachers strive to have read. It is a noble ambition. Drop, O teacher, the five ; cent novel and ding to the master; you will draw power from them.— School Journal. Hover, Ga., March, 7th, 1896.
