and adopted.

that would inevitably lead to the estab
lishment. of other and more extensive
manufacturing enterprises.

Public School Notes.
The Coweta County Teachers’ Insti
tute was organized February 25, with
the following officers: L. H. Ford, pres
ident; C. C. Nall, vice-president; Miss
Annie Anderson, secretary.
On the 10th inst. the first regular
meeting was held, but unfavorable
weather prevented a full attendance.
Articles on the following subjects were
submitted, however, and were full of in
terest: Mrs. D. B. Woodroof, on “Lan
guage Lessons;” Prof. C. C. Nall, on
“Spelling;” Prof. T. H. Meacham, on
‘Reading;” Prof. J. E. Pendergrast, on
‘Arithmetic;’’ Prof. L. H. Ford, on
‘Geography.”
The institute then adjourned, to con
vene itt Arcade Hall on the 7th prox.,
the following programme having been
arranged:
“History”—Miss Annie Anderson.
“Penmanship”—Prof. W. S. Feather-
ston.
English Grammar”—Prof. J. B. Al
len.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
this organization, and teachers and
earnest students will welcome it as an
inestimable aid. The subjects discuss
ed at the first meeting were in the in
terest of the primary depart ment—step
ping stones for little feet toward the
gr-»at Temple of Knowledge. Prof.
Nall, of Grantville, and Prof. Meach
am, of Palmetto, impressed us as effi
cient teachers and earnest colaborers in
the grand cause of education. We con
gratulate their respective communi
ties.
Prof. Ford prefaced his remarks »by
exhibiting a model of South America,
accurately moulded in sand, the moun
tain chains and rivers being clearly de
fined. He thus introduced a very at
tractive work for students, accompanied
by maps on the board. The week fol
lowing this lecture Mrs. Robinson’s,
Miss Anderson’s and Mrs. Woodroof’s
departments furnished maps, (on the
same plan) of South America, Africa,
Europe and the United States. Seas
and lakes were represented by small
pieces of glass; rivers by coarse threads;
mountains by pebbles. The minerals
were placed where they are largely
found; noted vegetable products, such
as coffee, rice, etc., were similarly dis
posed.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Miss Nela Lou Walton opened the
Friday afternoon exercises with the
“Fireman.” Eddie Hamrick followed
with “Cataline’s Defiance.” Clifford
Turner reviewed “Mississippi’s Contest
ed Election,” and Syl Orr succeeded
with a speech on “Duty to Our Coun
try.” Miss Willie Orr concluded the
exercises with a comic recitation—“The
Bishop and the Cow.”
The Public School Banner, by Miss
Weir Lyndon, was a regular field en
gagement. There was some very heavy
cannonading, and bombs were thrown
with telling effect.’ The sharp rattle of
small arms was equally spirited. Being
independent of the purses of the pat
rons greatly augments the independ-

The Statistician of the Federal Agri
cultural Department has prepared some
statistics relating to the present num
ber and the value of the farm animals
in Georgia, with the following results:
Horses—number, 110,60: value, $9,203,-
499. Mules—number, 149,654; value,
$14,407,417. Milch cows—number, 357,-

$664,826. Hogs—number, 1,534,189; val

The State Executive Committee
met in Atlanta last Wednesday and
decided to hold two State Conventions
—one on the 9th of May, and another
on the 8th of August. The first con
vention is called to select delegates to
the National Demociatic Convention,
which meets in St. Louis, Mo., on the
5th of June; the second, to nominate
Presidential Electors, Governor and
State House officers.
James W. Tate, for twenty-one
years Treasurer of the State of Ken
tucky, has defaulted and fled the coun
try. The amount of his defalcation is
not known, but is probably covered by
his bond, which is for $300,000. The
Legislature, which is now in session,
has offered a reward of $5,000 for his
arrest.
cnee of the editors;—it is no meat-and-
bread question, but, Comanche-like,
whenever they see a scalp they take it.
If a Sampson is found bran dishing a jaw
bone, you may he sure there is a Deli
lah in reserve who will, in her own good
time, lay the strong man low. It is re
freshing to note some actions not
prompted by policy. If they are Lilli-
S uts, they remind us very much of the
irohdingnags of real life. Three cheers
for the Public School Banner.
Superintendent Ford proposes a new
departure in our museum collection,
viz; A department for exhibiting spec
imens of handiwork, embroidery, carv-
iug, painting, or artistic work of any
kind. How the boys will revel in white
pine and pen-knives!—the girls, in num
berless devices of skill and ingenuity!
One can readily perceive the advantages
of such a course. It will give tone and
force to incipient talent, and perhaps
many a Homer and Whitney will here
receive his first important lessons. Who
knows?

want to buy, Call and see us
the first opportunity, and if
