The State Teachers' Convention.
The annual meeting of the State
Teachers’ Association will be held this
year in Columbus, and from the exten
sive preparat ions that are being made it
will probably bo the most numerously
attended session that has been held
since its organization. The convention
will meet on Tuesday, April 20th, and
continue in session until Friday, May 2d.
Since the last meeting tho association
has been organized into five depart
ments-normal, collegiate, grammar,
high school, kindergarten and prim
ary. Department meetings will be
held during tho afternoon of each day,
beginning Wednesday, April 80th.
Teachors and friends of education are
invited to bocomo members of tho asso
ciation. Only tho members will be en
titled to reduced rates at hotels and
boarding-houses. Tho Columbus En
quirer-Sun says tho lady members of
the association will be entertained free
of charge, in tho houses of the bust
families in Columbus, and that the
sumo hospitality will be offered to such
gentlemen as may prefer this to stop
ping at hotels. Those wishing to avail
themselves of this private hospitality
should at once notify Superintendent
W. II. Woodall, Columbus, (Ja.
A return rnto of one-third the high
est limited faro has been secured over
tho railronda in Goorgin. Knelt person
must purchase u tlrst-cluss ticket to Co
lumbus, pay regular fare for same, and
request a certificate of purchase by the
ugent at the station where ticket is ob
tained, for without this certificate no re
duction will be made.
An effort will bo made to bring the
convention to Nownau next year, and
in order to accomplish this object it is
Important that Coweta be well repre
sented in the Columbus mooting. Ev
ery teacher in tho county should at
tend, and tho expense of the trip will
bo so trifling that all may eusily do so.
There are thirty or forty white teach
ers in tho county, and if nil will attond
end pull togother for Nownan there
will lie no difficulty in bringing tho
Convention hero noxt year.
The Girls' Industrial School.
In regard to tho Georgia Normal nnd
industrial College for Girls, at Mil-
ledguvllle, a writer in tho Union and
Recorder says:
•‘We have a plan to propose, and it is
this: IiOt our noble women, who are
first in evory good work, organize a
Girls' Industrial School Socloty in each
county in this State. They have mis
sionary societies, parsonage' societies,
and uid societies of various kinds. Why
notan industrial school society? Caii
a nobler work fill their hearts or com
mand their services in the labor of love?
The passage of the net establishing the
school was due largely to a woman's
influence, nnd it will lie her duty and
ploasuro to bring its benefits within
tho reach of tho poorest. Lot every
county organize a society for maintain
ing in this college ill. least one girl who
is unable to pay her way. Of course,
each society may adopt its own meth
ods for raising the money- by small
monthly dues from members or other
wise. Of one tiling they may lie assur
ed, t he people of Millodgevlllo will do
everything in their power to sustain
the school, and will put board at the
lowest possible figure. We hope all
the papers in the State will submit this
suggestion, for what it is worth, to
the women of their respective coun-
ties," _
Many lives, histories and biographies
of tho late Jefferson Davis, purporting
to bo written by Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
are being advertised throughout the
country. The only genuiue work of
the kind written by Mrs. Jefferson Da
vis is that to be published by llKI.Kottl)
Company, 18-22 East 28th Street, Now
York, entitled “Jefferson Davis, Kx-
1'resident of the Confederate States:
A Memoir, by his Wife.” All other
works claiming the authorship of Mrs.
Jefferson Davis must necessarily lie in
jurious to her personally and pecuni
arily. Tho book is sold L»y subscription,
nnd territory is being rupidly assigned.
Tho work promises to bo one of the
moat popular ever published, and those
desiring to canvass for it should apply
at onco to tho publishers, who will fur
nish circulars and information.
Tho ‘‘Preacher” mine, within the cor
porate limits of the city, lias boon an
inexhaustible resource of income to
its operators. A great many dwts. of
gold have been taken out in the last
tew years. At a depth ol one hundred
feet the gold could be seen by candle
light shining in the while tlint quartz,
and tho last taken out yielded, after
beating all the richest of it in a hand
mortar, something over $40 dollars per
ton; but the water came in so rapidly
that work was suspended on the imme
diate,lode, nnd the debris from other
works found its way into the shaft, and
that rich lode is now embedded in wa
ter and waste and only awaits capital
nnd modern machinery to take out the
precious metal in large quantities.—

The “Preacher" mine is the proper

said to bo one of the most valuable in

Mr. J. R. Hdnnicttt, our candidate

numbers ou the occasion referred to.
On Tuesday he spoke to the farmers
of Carroll, and yesterday addressed a
big Alliance meeting at Greenville. lie
Nashville merchants are raising a

Tho Poor Farm Again,
In order that tho people of the coun
ty may know tho condition of nffaira at
tho County Poor Farm, and how tilings
are managed there, it now becomes
necessary for mo to say something in my
own behalf.
Tho mistakes in regard to my furnish
ing wood, nnd about the coffee, woro
sufficiently explained in your issue of
March 28th. Hut it seems that the
“man with tho little book" is not yet
sutistied, and probably thinks he will
get my scalp eventually by his contin
ued misrepresentations. Ail men aro
liable to be mistaken once in awhile,
but in all my experience I have never
before seon a porson that would not
sometimes uvoid mistakes.
Now, the gentlemnn enmo out hero
and tilled his "little book” full of so-
called “facts,” and yot'not tho first one
of his charges against me, when they
are sifted, has developed into a fact;
but every one that ho has so far brought
forwnrdcnn be satisfactorily explained,
so far as I am individually concerned.
I never made a contract with this man
to do anything. My contract is with
the Commissioner* of Coweta county,
and I am satislled that the Commis
sioners will, to a man, admit that I have
always curried out my contracts. Two
of them worn out here nt the same flrno
that tho ‘‘man with the little book”
niudo his visit, and another of the Com-
missonors was hero only a few days be
fore. All three reported: “Inmates
satisfied, and we are satisfied,"
I will now ondoaver to rectify some
of tho false impressions created by the
statements from the "little hook.”
The gentlemnn asks, “What goes with
tho 20 lbs. of sugar ouch month?” Hero
goes for the 20 lbs. of sugar. A por
tion of it tho inumtos use in their
coffee; hut I should like for the public
to observe that if the" man with the lit
tle book” doesn't know any other use for
sugar than sweetening ciffoe, the in
mates of tho Poor Farm aro wiser in
ono thing than he is, for they find va
rious uses for it. The have on their
tablos evory day, when they wish it,
pics, custards or puddings—and they
want them right, often, too. They have
from time to time, rico custard, rico
pudding, potato pin, potato pudding,
dried fruit pies ami custards, nnd, in sea
son, berry pies of different kinds. Any
ono with avorngo senso knows tlint su
gar is necessary in preparing those dish
es, Tho 20 His. of sugar is furnished
the inmates to use as they themselves
see lit, and if they choose to uso it in
pies and custards rattier than in coffee,
1 am sat islled, and all people should be.
Ho stilted that even iu sickness tho poor
unfortunates can't got sugar. This is
not true, for any of them can got it when
they call for it.
Tho Commissioners furnish rye, and
payj'tr it, for t ho uso of some inmates
who can't drink llio, and who cart drink
and <lt sire rye coffee altogether. At
times very seldom- those who have
charge of tho cooking seo lit to mix a
little rye with the llio to make the lat
ter go further. I manage all such
things as I am instructed by the County
Commissioners to do.
So far us requiring inmates to get per
mission when they leave tho farm, not
allowing them to trade off socks .they
knit ami other products, 1 imvu written
rules and instructions by which l am
guided ip all such matters, and these
rules are furnished by tho Commis
sioners.
As to meat, they get all they wish,
and often at t lie end of t he month there
is a goodideat remaining in tho commis
sary. 1 can’t furnjsh them lard when
the county doesn't furnish it. They
aro never without rice and hominy.
They havo had plenty of Irish and
sweet potatoes all tho your, and al
though the latter are very hard to get
at this season, they are not all gone
yet, 'I hey have had an abUndace of
dried fruit, and have plenty yet. They
have other things too tedious to men
tion.
In regard to Mr. Harp’s house, which,
according to the “litt le book,” is in so
writched a condition, I will say that it
is tho newest and best house on tho
place. Mr. II. says he is perfectly satis-
lied with it. And further, it is a fact that
his cooking department don’t need to
be separated from another part of tho
house, for tho simple reason that nil
t ho cooking on tho pi nee is done on the
large stove at tho cook-house. The ne
gro referred to as having tho rheuma
tism so badly seemed to be getting
along well enough to excuse himself
from the county’s care and support the
next day after the "man with the little
book” learned so much, and is now out
working for a living. The house in
which my tenant lives was granted me
by the Commissioners, aud when thev
inform me that they want it vacated 1
shall move my tenant out.
I expect there are many people in the
county who would like to know who
tho "man with the little book” is. Will
he tell them?
And now^any citizen who would like
to see for himself how the farm is man
aged, is cordially invited to couie out
nnd take notes, if he desires.

A Malicious Slander.
A report having reached us that it is
currently circulated in the neighbor
hood of Lodi, Coweta county, that
"some of Prof. G. V. Auderson’s schol
ars (at Sunny Side) became offended
with him and burnt the school-house
and rocked liis dwelling until all were
obliged to leave," etc. We deem it our
duty, in justice to Prof. Anderson, his
pupils, and to our village, to deny most
emphatically the truthfulness of the
foregoing statement. We have one of
the best school-houses in the county,
which is well equipped with the best
and most modern school furniture.
Prof. Anderson has been teaching here
now throe months, and we believe our
school prospects were never more prom
ising. All are well pleased with the
teachers, and wo are united and work
ing harmoniously together. Our enroll
ment hns reached ninety, including
quite a number of boarding pupils.
Prof. Anderson is indorsed by men of
the highest standing as a gentleman
and successful teacher, and since he has
kail charge of our school he has per
formed his work with credit to himself
and with satisfaction to his patrons.
There lias been no rupturo of any kind
whatever, the relation of pupils, teach
ers and patrons being of the most
pleasant nnd friendly nature. Any ono
who is so bnse as to make and put into
circulation such falsehoods will stigma
tize and bring reproach upon the name
of any community, nnd should be ig
nored and treated with contempt by all
good citizens.

Deafness Can’t be Cured
by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucus lining oftheEusta-
ebain Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the ir.rt.iin.irton can Ite taken out!
and this tnhe restmed t<> its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine caseses out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but *
an infllamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that wo can not cure by taking
Ilall’aCatarrli Cure, send for circulars,

A correspondent of the Greoonville
Vindicator writesasfollows: “I remem
ber tlie duel fought between Hon.
Thomas W. Thomas and James M

to see tho light. Sniytho was shot
through the thigh, and is said to have
paid an old negro a large sum to take
him down tho river that night to Au
gusta. lie was landed at homo about
sunrise. The difficulty was caused by
articles in the Augusta papers. Judge
Thomas was never a rich man. He
succeeded Judge Garnett Andrews ns
Judge, 1 have heard him deliver some
line speeches at .he Elberton bar.

ticed at that bar were Samuel Free

very unique. The ring proper is made
of fourteen carat gold. The first letter

ground is pure gold. The raised figures,
“DO,” signifying when the class gradua

The construction of the great bridge
across the Mississippi at Memphis is
the tirst one ever attempted over that
stream south of its junction with the
Ohio, but it will be speedily followed
by the building of another and still
greater bridge. This is to cross the
Mississippi at New Orleans. It will be
a gigantic structure of three spans,
with a clear height of 165 feet above
high water, so that the tallest masts
may have free passage. The central
span will be 1,150 feet, one of the lon
gest in the world, and its clearance will
Be fifteen feet greater than that of the
celebrated bridge over the Forth of
