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.

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,- 603; value, $5,739,251. Oxen and other cattle—number, 598,656; value, $6,588,- 930. Sheep—number, 442,374; value, $664,826.

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? The total attendance at College Tem ple now is 325.
