TUe Peabody Institute will close to morrow. It opened August 1st, and will have been in session Jnat four weeks. There were 06 member* enrolled lin the white department for the four weeks and sixty in the colored, making a total of 156. The average daily attendance, as shown by the register, never fell below fifty whites and forty colored, except on one day during the month. This plain ly show* the interest felt by the members and the attendance represented fifteen counties of middle and southern Georgia, and the teachers represented the best of tneir profeason in their respective local ities. They made up an exceedingly sprightly school. TUB TiraEB INSTRUCTORS, Messrs. Lane, Zettltr and Evans, each de livered two lectures a day on their respec tive subjects. In addition the teaohers wars favored with two lectures by Professor Willet, of Mercer, one by Professor Derry, of Wesleyan, and one b.v Professor Bran- 1mm, of Branham’s school. Dr. Orr apeot four days with the institute, giving two lectures each day upon the public school law of Georgia lor the benefit of teachers and school commissioners, and also deliv ered two public addresses at night on na tional aid to education. Among the means adopted to increase the interest of the members of the institute and give diversity to the exercises none proved more entertaining and improving than the weekly report of the “critic committee.” This consisted of the slang phrases, ungrammatical expres sions and wrong pronunciations heard by the members of the committee among the teachers during the week, and read out at the time of the general exercises on Friday. The pub ic school teachers of this city and county were present la large numbers every day, and oontributed n great deal to the Huccess of the institute.

It happened that the through passengers on their 0 . imm here to Ilenerson were in the „jlrom barge, wliilo those on the Belmont were mostly Evansville > lt r,' nd e »n people. The fury ol the S, d r S taSoncetvablo and its work was 5»„fswiitly. Three times the cables lash- hares to the host were snapped, in A lasftime the barge floated away 1“ Then It was that tho boat 2th a widen lorch, too sudden to Permit Uveescspe of her passengers, turned over « uSnfeet of water, about the deepest £t*ren here and Henderson. During the KiSst ot the storm Cant. Smith ordered thewbin doors locked, to keep out the Sllnrhing rain. Wnen the last atUck of ScatJe, the pilot was heading the ves „ WfKM U S for a sand bar to run her aground. Such an institute or normal school as csotain ordered him to keep this one has has been must CKRTAINLV DO GREAT OOOD. But the great trouble, Prof. Zettler says, is that the teachers and sections most in need of the aid extended by the institutes, are not reached. He thinks county con-' ventions of teachers, holding for one week and under the general management of the county school commissioners, with such cutsiue aid as may be thought proper, would prove much more efiectlve than the prf sent plan, but this. Dr. Orr says, would not suit the views of Dr. Curry, agent of the Peabody trustees, who furnish all the money with which the institute work is car ried on in Georgia. Prof. Zetrler also says if our Legislature could be induced to sup plement the appropriation made by the Peabody trustees for this work, as is clone in the other Southern 8tates, we could of course have more to say abont the plans to bo adopted, but until this is done we must of course conform to the wishes of those who "foot the bills.” in’the'almnneF, back her and keep ! n ‘ steady.

SO.—The State con- :• Labor party was An Appeal to the Newep Fraternity. I want to suggest something to newspa per reporters. I have been a newspaper re porter myself, and have been ali along the line. I have followed the free lunch route, been called upon to give a four dol lar notice for a ten cent treat; and I have been abased and my life threats because I didn't suppress the name of people who got drunk or otherwise. I know what it is to advertise a strawberry festival and draw a crowd, and thou never get thanked for it. I know what it is to have men mad as wet hens lor not throwing in a two dol Jar local to follow a thirty cent ad. I know what it Is to be abused for not advertising a man’s business in tho guise of u nows item or a blow for the town. I know what it is to walk my legs off for a three-line paragraph and all that sort of thing, and I know what it is to receive VOLUNTEER SUGGESTION# as to the manner of running a newspaper: but. ray dearly beloved item-bouncers, you will certainly receive my suggestions. ' know you will. Now, what I want to suggest is simj this: The average newspaper reporter necessarily the biggest liar kuown since the days of Ananias, and that leads rae to think thatAnaniaB must have hail his start In the newspaper business. You lie about everything, and yeti don't really believe the good Lord blames yon much for it because you are obliged to unless news papers get oat of the old ruts, and that is exactly what ought to be done The great reform of this country is needed most right among you. Evtry time you wilte up a wedding, you He, and lie like thieves. When a young man or a young lady graduates at school or college, you lie. When a lawyer makes a speech in the court house, you lie. When you write a man’s obituary, you almost INVARIABLY LIK. When a tyounc lady visits a, friend in your town, you He. When you write up man's business, you Ue. When you bio for your town, you lie. When a friend sends in a watermelon, you Ue. When you write up a show, you lie, and you lie most when you report an amateur entertainment. Now, I suggest great reform in your business. Tblsr form will sweep away the old-fashioned methods and purify your conscience. It will make an upright, moral citizen of you and polish you for your trip to the world beyond. It will make men respect you and your piper. || sjjn j HE WENT DOWN. Police Officer Find* Himself In a Pe culiar Predicament. About 1 o’clock yesterday mori)ing two sharp reports of a pistol were heard in the lower part of the city. Officers Golden, Hardy and Wood at odco ran In the direc tion from which the reports came, and to make a short cut ran across the vacant P. '. Sawyer lot, corner of Cherry and Fifth streets, which is now covered by high weeds. When abont half way across thero was a sudden disappearance of one of the three officers. The remaining two looked around for the missing man. but no where could he be seen. Then a voice proceeded as if from tho bowels of the earth, and an investigation showed tiiat officer Wood had fallen into a deep well. BROUGHT IIIM UP. The well is about fortv or fifty feet deep, but as luck would have it a pipe, formerly used for a pnmn, runs across the well about five or six feet from the surface, and ns the officer fell in, his right arm caught the pipe. He was so badly frightened at first that lie could not speak, but had sen*e enough left to hang on to the pipe until officers Golden anil Hardy coaid rescue him. Tho well is entirely unprotected, and the high weeds prevent Its being seen, especial ly at night. It should be covered over or Report of tho Railroad Commission —LewJslation Recommended— Notes and Comments.

This is the way in which the Rome Courier tells how Ford won the one-hour match In that place on Friday: Ford, of Macon, the champion of the State, was on hand and spoiling for a walk of some kind. yesterday afternoon one-hour heel-toe match was arranged be tween him and A* cock for a $100 purse. By agreement, Aycock was allowed to skip and Ford to utilize bis crow-hop. which was nothing more nor less than a single foot heel nnd-toe run. The start was made at 4 o’clock, and Aycock soon demonstrated the fact that Ford was no match for him iu a square heel-and-tr e. Bat when Aycock would get a little too far ahead. Ford would strike out on his crow-hop and soon climb up. “When time was called at 5 o’clock Ford had scored six miles and tour laps and’ Aycock six miles three and a half laps.” FROM ATLANTA. Having landed on the frhorc of being a, few months before, I was one of the fugi tives. In the hurry of getting off we bahii*s were thrown into the wagon pell mell like ears of corn, and I was so bent up by the ' furniture surrounding that I could never aft*-r be straightened out.

Macon has quite a number of the machines and some expert wheelmen, bnt bicycles are not exempt frdrn the old saw, that accidents will happen, and we hsve three mishaps to chronicle this morning. On Thursday night last, as Mr. G. S.

When he picked himself up he found his left shoulder so badly injured that hii arm was entirely useless all during yesterday. Mr. Davis Is compelled to use a bicycle because of the long distances he has to cover while looking after his line. Yesterday morning as Mr. Will Franke, bookkeeper for I. Herman & Co., while coming down the avenue on his machine, a little negro child was in his way. He rang his fiell but the child did not seem to know which way to turn and she was KNOCKED DOWN and run over. When picked up the blood flowed freely from an ugly gash in her head. The mother of the child, Alice Richards, went at once to Justice Free man's office and sued oat a warrant for Mr. Franke. ar d the cate came up yester day afternoon.

James 1C. Brown. Colonel Brown, the nominee, who is the editor of the Henry County Weekly, was in the city to-day, and carries bis honors meekly. He is a man of strong convictions, and will be a prominent member of the next Legisla ture. A grand union Sunday-school pic nic was held at East Point to day, and the crowd gathered from the four points of the compais. The legislative candidates in this count? put in an early appearance and mingled freely and unctiously with the throng. It is re markable how unanimously candidates warm toward the country picnic. What ever their religious or political conviction, there they meet the people and each other on common ground. The recent attacks made on tho Tele graph in certain quarter* and the pub lished insinuations as to its coarse nave been noted here in Atlanta with considera ble amusement. I have talked with many prominent citixena who read the paper, and the drift of their comments indicate that the Teliorapii has many friends here, who are entireltBa^fi«d with its Democ racy.
