The faculty went up to Carrollton last Saturday (Jan. 28th) to be exam ined. Dr. Henderson says it reminded him of his school dayB. He enjoyed it hugely, and says “amen” to the efforts of the State School Commissioner to elevate the standard of teachers. The Clay and Calhoun Society holds An Epietle from Brother Beadles. , Mr. Editor:—The Quarterly Confer ence of the Walton Circuit, on the 8th ult., ratified the change made by our President, Rev. F.

On yesterday I went to Newton Factory church and found it in a bad fix. No church book of records, no officers, and but lew members. We organized and started out anew, with many obstacles, which we hope by faith and prayer and pluck and energy and money to remove.

Well, Brother Brown, Jersey is a very nice village, inhabited by a class of Georgia’s very best citizens. < )xford College is about eight miles from here, Social Circle six, and Covington ten. So, you see, these people have had ad vantages of good schools. Reagan In stitute here is in a flourishing condi tion. Our farmers are, as far as I can learn, out of debt and have money to pay for the necessities of life. Some have money to loan. Everything here speaks thrift, enterprise and prosperity. Every one attends to his own business and gives his neighbor the same privi lege. Whenever they have pains, or aches, or ring-worms, or tetter, they just procure a bottle of Beadles’ Cele brated Prussian Pain Cure, and go on their way rejoicing. Mr. Editor, I am glad my lot has been cast in such a pleasant place, but I love old Newnan. No place will ever be home to me, save it. The ties of childhood and youth are there, never to be erased. The memory of loved ones, whose'bodies lie in the old church yard, clings with sweet tendrils around my heart, and the dear friends, whose cheering words have given me hope and encouragment, shall never be forgotten while memory clings to heart below. May our kind Heavenly Father bless them, every one. I was so sorry to read, in your col umns, of the death of Hill Camp. May the glorious Sun of Righteousness,with his radiant beams of love, burst in up on the sadly bereaved hearts of the family, with all his holy beauty and splendor from behind this cloud of af fliction, giving to each the full conso lation of Faith that lifts our eyes to the world beyond, where there will be a grand reunion of that family Abra ham saw in the desert and whose holy beauty he saw shining in the stars of heaven. I don’t see how I can do without Tins Herald and Advertiser. It is the best county paper I ever saw. I hope, Mr. Editor, you may reap a rich reward for your labors. Yours, etc., E. J. Beadles. Jersey, Walton county, Jan. 23d. session, and then draw it in a lump. John II. Ketcham, William L. Scott, Adams, of Chicago, and Willkins, of Ohio, invariably do this. Mr. Randall, who has nothing but his salary to live on, usually draws down to his margin. In the Senate, the practice is similar. Mr. C’ullom, who is a poor man, draws his salary at the end of each month. Mr. Edmunds generally leaves his until the end of the quarter and takes three months’ wages at a time. Mr. Sherman is one of the monthly payment Sena tors. but Mr. Payne leaves his on de posit until he happens to need money, and then sends a page to the Clerk’s of fice to have a check made out for all that is due him. Mr. Hale has a similar habit. William Maxwell Everts gives checks against his salary to the real es tate agent from whom he rents his house, and it takes it all. Don Camer on is very careless about his salary, and never seems to know how much is due him. He lets the money accumulate for seveal months, and then, when he wants funds, makes a check regardless of the amount due him. Mr. Stanford generally leaves it all until just before he leaves Washington. When he ar rives for the winter he always deposits £50,000 to the credit of his wife at the bank of Riggs A Co., and that carries the family through the session. D.

Not since the days of Martha M ash-! ington has the wife of a President been j such a universal favorite, andherpopu- j larity is not confined to the men. !She j is a favorite with women. Her beauty, { grace and charming manner captivate all who come into contact ivith her. A cursory glance over the papers of any date will reveal some pleasant allu sion to her. Here is a Washington lady, writing to a New York friend about her success in social circles, and a Re publican politician gives it as his opin ion that she is becoming a potent fac tor in the country’s politics. Her in fluence, it seems, has also boomed the real estate and the matrimonial market. The little town of Marian, Mass., where she spent a few weeks last sum mer, is now more prosperous than it ever was, on account of her visit, and while the residents do not exactly wor ship the ground she walked on, they value it much higher than they did. The young ladies who visit hex’, it is as serted, marry or become engaged soon after doing so. It has been noticed that Washington has lately enjoyed an epidemic df marriages, and now the cause is explained. It may be stated, however, that Mrs. Cleveland’s influ ence had nothing to do with the runa way matches that have not turned out well. The President has rightly been called a lucky man. When Prof. Proctor questioned the existence of luck, he probably did not have him in mind. Ilis greatest luck was in securing Mrs. Cleveland for a wife. She seems to be a genuine “mascot.” Second District. Mr. Editor:—I will again try, with •your permission, to give you a few dots from our district. The continued rains of the past- few weeks have thrown farmers considera bly behind with their farm work. If the raina continue much longer, they will be lata pitching thair crops. President Sim. Whatley visited Sharpsburg Friday, talking Alliance to the people of that place. Success to you, Sim. May you live long and have an abundant harvest in the grand work. Right here, I would like very much to make a few remarks on the subject of the Alliance. Do you not know, farm- era, that you are the aupport and back bone of the world ? Why, then, not organize and come together, and stop being oppressed by the moneyed men of this country ? Why not the farmers combine as well as the merchants , J Farmers, if you would but- come to gether and stick, you could effect things generally some of these days, and there would be a day when you could buy and sell at your own price. I noticed some weeks ago, in one of Ripples’ articles, that "Win. Parks; killed a 7-months-old shote that netted P. N eelv killed Your Own Hand on The Plow. Mr. R , a large planter in Ala bama, was so successful in his cultiva tion of cotton as to excite universal attention throughout the South. Cer tain wealthy gentlemen wrote to him several years ago, asking permission to send their sons.to his plantation, “to be placed under his tuition and to study his methods.” A few days later seven or eight young hidalgos arrived, deli cate, refined youths, carefully dressed, gloved and ringed. “Gentlemen,” said the planter, after welcoming them, “you have come to learn how to raise cotton, so that you will never have a failure in your crops?” “Yes.” “It is my theory that no man can in telligently direct his servants to do work which he has never done himself. You can never learn to raise cotton on horseback. I will teach you my meth ods, but the first step must be flannel shirts and your own habds on the plow. If you are not willing to do this, you had better return to Mexico.” The young men looked at each other in dismay. But the next morning they presented themselves cheerfully in the held ready for work, and set to plow ing with a will. They followed as ac tual laborers every step in the cultiva tion of the cotton, from its planting, until it was ready for market. They re mained with Mr. B. two years, at the end of which time they returned to Mexico, and are now the most success ful growers of cotton in that section. They are all firm friends of Mr. B. “He has the secret of success,” one of them said lately. “No matter what a man’s business may be, lie must learn j it in detail'before be can control it. Didn’t Know He Was President. Lakeview (Ore.) Examiner, When Charles Crocker was at Port land on his spike-driving tour over tha California and Oregon, an incident oc- curred which is illustrative of the be wildering magnitude of the railway in terests of that gentleman. He received a call at the Esmond House from the general manager of the Oregonian railway, a little narrow-guage formerly under the control of a Scotch company. Mr. Crocker regarded the visit as pure ly complimentary, but when the gen- eral manager began to talk about tha prospects of his line, the needs of repairs at certain points,'and gave the magnate assurance that it was a fairly prosperous concern, Mi*. Crocker’s mind became cloudy. He clearly did not know what the man was driving at. Still the official went on until he was interrupted by a friend who hap pened to be preseut, and wno said : “Mr. Crocker doesn’t know what all this means.” “Oh, 1 guess he does,” said the gen eral manager, with a confident air. “I guess he knows that he is pi-esident of this road.” “But I’m if he did,” said Mr. Crocker, “until you said so tlxis mo ment.” The incident created a ripple of mer riment among the railroad men who happened to be present, and some of the Portland magnates who heard the story thought a good deal less of their railroad interests when they reflected on the fact that here was a man who was president of a railroad and knew nothing of it. m H M > % Q i—i % m STEAM ENGINES.

COLE MANUFACTURING CO., Newnan, Ga. She Would Take Care of It. The St. Louis Critic relates the fol lowing true story of one of the most effective rebukes that mild and lovely woman ever administered to vain and lordly man : Two young matrons were in a horse car. “Well.” said one of them, “I wish Charley wouldn’t act as if he thought that—that—because it is my first baby I didn’t knowhow to take care of it. He never interfered so with anything before. Rut now, when he is starting off in the morning, he be gins : ‘I wouldn’t take the baby out if it turns cold ; don’t put that woolen veil over her eyes again ;’ and ‘you had better try the water in the bath tub before you put her in,’ and so on, and so on.” “Yes, I know,” rejoined the elder lady, philosophically, “they all do so until the novelty wears off. I stood it as long as I coulc^ with Harold, but one day when he was struggling into his overcoat and leaving number less charges about baby’s food and flannels and wrappings, I said very sweetly and dutifully : ‘You may rest easy, dear, while you are in town at | your business ; I will take just as good ; care of the baby as though she were 1 my own child.’ ‘Your own child T he | replied, gaspingly.

Several members let their sal ary accumulate until the end of the The Most Interesting Age. j Boston Transcript. ; “What is the most interesting age of woman'?” was a question recently dis cussed by an artist, an author and a woman of society. The author said he did not like to paint the portraits of those between the age of twenty-five and forty years. Before twenty-five the face has an expectancy which charms. It is looking forward with joyous freshness and hope and is full of puzzling promises. At forty ygars the character is formed and the lines of the countenance are strong for the painter’s study; in intervening years the face has lost its expectancy, is apt to be indifferent and lias no particular inter est. The author differed from the artist. He liked to study women between the ages of thirty and forty. They had then the experience of the world and ■ the joyousness of youth. In those years they were briglitest and most in teresting. The society woman thought ; that it was impossible to make general answers to the question, as individual women differ in regard to the most at tractive age. Some are most charming I at sixty years, while others have passed | their prime at twenty. The best an- S swer would be that women are always ■ beautiful to the friends who love them. J. H.
