ENGLISH GRAHUHAR.
The following is a paper that was
read by Katie Dowdell, daughter of
Elder H.'B. Dowdell, of this oity, at the
Colored Teachers’ Institute on last
Saturday. It is a very creditable
composition for a young woman who
has had only suoh educational advan
tages as are afforded to the Negroes
of this State and section, anu the
IIkkald takes pleasure In publishing
It, not only ns a compliment to the
author, but for the encouragement of
others of her race:
“Those who undertake to teaoh the
English language, undertake no ensy
task, for It is well known that the
English, being made up so largely of
other languages, is very complex.
Yet It- is a language, and since it Is,
must be taught in order that it may be
written anil spoken correctly.
Grammar to sonic persons is dry nnd.
tedious. I have hoard many sny they
utterly despised it. However, we do
not wonder at this, for it Is necessary
that one should he well advnnced,
hnve considerable knowledge of Latin
and other languages, and know some
thing of literature before lie can
thoroughly understand nnd enjoy the
English.
Parsing,'one of the indospensnble
and most important steps in this
branch, we as fellow students and
teaohers, find in most cases to be try
ing to the young mind. He finds it
difficult to understand how a word
may at one time be a noun, nnd at
another nil adjective, object' compli
ment, or possessive modifyor, and how
to simplify and explain these tilings
In such a way as to.be grasped and
enjoyed by the young mind is often
puzzling to the teacher and cniiBeB him
many sleepless nights. I hnve often
wondered how it is that beginners
sometimes see into things so much
more easily when they arc explained
to them by nn upper class student
than by an expert teacher, nnd I hnve
deoided that it might he that the
student, having recently gone over
the ground, has a kind of sympathetic
understanding of where the difficulty
is, while the teacher, having known
and taught it for years, cannot renllze
how new and strange it appears to the
beginner, and expeots him to under
stand the subject after two or three
explanations, and when lie seeB that
lie doesn’t, and his class is becoming
more nnd more mixed up, ho becomes
disgusted nnd his pupils disheartened.
Tlie road that I have found for myself
out of this difficulty is this: Stnrt the
pupil off with the easiest of two words
possible, ns subject nnd predicate, or
noun and verb; keep them at this nnd
similar examples until they have them
on their tongue’s end, nnd can with
sparkling eyes rattle them off with a
kind of belief that they know nil about
English grammar. Then bring in
gradually, one after another, all kinds
of modifying words, phrases and
clauses, until he lias ascended from
the easiest to the most oomplex and
compound sentences.
Concerning the rules, we might say
that ns they come Into use have them
learned. Always illustrate tho rule
by nn example, and then have it
thoroughly learned. This will ajd the
memory nnd tend to intelligent ex
pression of thought and enlarge and
enrich the vocabulary of the student.

Tuesday morning, at 0 o’olook,
Rev. Mr. Robertson offlolatlng, Miss
Carrie Smith was united In the holy
bonds of matrimony with Mr. Will
Tlcknor, of Columbus.
The ceremony took place at the resi
dence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. W.
E. Smith, on Flint street, in the pres,
ence of a company of about twenty
friends and relatives.
The wedding was without display of
any kind, a very quiet affair, charact
erized by extreme simplicity and good
taste.
The bride wore a traveling dress of
pale gray bedford cord, with wrap of
the same material, bonnet and gloves
to match.
There were no attendants.
Hearty congratulations and hurried
adieus followed the ceremony, imme
diately after which the bride and
groom left to take the 7:15 train for
Columbus where they will make their
home through the summer, at least.
Mr. and Mrs. Tlcknor are well and
pleasantly known in Albany.
They both came of fine old Georgia
families.
The bride’s father was Hon. W. E,
Smith, a man prominent in business
nnd political circles of Ills (lay, possess
ing the confidence and higiicst re-
gurd of the community in which he
lived so long.
A great deal of interest could not
hut he felt in tile marriage of the
daughter of a man so favorably known
ami prominent ns wns this gentleman,
ami old friends of the family have
been anxious that the young girl’s
bark be happily launched on tile Sea
of Matrimony.
Mr. and Mrs. Tlcknor have the
heartiest good wishes and congratula
tions of their many friends, nnd the
Herald’s go with them.

other cities, and every audience be

“He Is a poet, a reciter, an orator, and
a genius,” says the New York World.
Fred Emerson Brooks will enter
tain the Chautauqua attendants sev
eral times during the assembly week.
His name appears frequently on the
program, and those who hear him will
regret that he does not appear oftoner.
A Big Time. at Dmraou
A few words from Ills Honor, the
Mayor: This is to certify that Dr.
Wilson, tlie physician of tile Kickapoo
Indian Medicine Company, lias been
ill our city for inofe t han two weeks
with tlie Indians. The entire troupe
have conducted themselves ns gentle
men in every sense of the word. Their
many performances here were attend
ed by our best people who went nway
well pleased with each evening’s per
formance and the order maintained
during them. I can conscientiously
commend them to any community into
which they may go.

A meeting of twenty or more mem
bers of the Methodist ohuroh was held,
Monday evening, at the residence of
Mr. Tom Cox to further disouss ways
and means for the new pipe organ.
The majority of those present were
enthusiastlo In their outspoken desire
for the organ and willingness to assist
in raising funds for its purohase.
Tlie formation of the Organ Associa
tion which was begun at the ohurch
after the Sunday morning service, was
completed and (the officers given to
understand their work in the associa
tlon. Mr. Tom Cox is president of
this association, Mrs. B. K. Smith its
secretary, and Mr. Burt Weston the
treasurer.
The work of the association is to
take charge of the work of raising
funds for*the project.
There will be dedicated at Dawson
next Sundny morning tlie new Meth
odist church in which lias been built
by tlie firm for which Mr. Lane is
agent a thousand dollar organ.
A committee, consisting of Mrs. B.
K. Smith, Misses Nettie Sherwood and
Ilallie Cox, and Mr. Burt Weston, were
appointed to attend tlie dedicatory
services at Dawson next Sunday, test
tiic organ there, and report at the
next meeting of tlie association.
They will have an excellent oppor
tunity to judge of the merits of that
organ as it is to be played by one of
the leading organists of Savannah.
The result of that trip will probably
decide the organ question.

Mayor F. E. Grist lias something to

been in our city over two weeks. They
have done much good, 11s individuals

It Is admitted by all who accept the

A lady visitor In Albany, who spent
some time in Thomasville previous to
coming here, remarked Friday even
ing at the german, that Albany cer
tainly went ahead of Thomasville in
Its germans. “Why,” she said, “the
gentlemen here are all fine dancers and
they know a thing or two, I assure
you.” Score one for Albany nnd two
for “tlie boys.’’—Albany Herald.
The News Is rejoiced to know that
Albany has made such a notable Im
provement in matters of so much
moment as “germans." It used to be
that the “Artesian City” was content
to hold her social events with such in
viting environments ns a cotton ware
house afforded. It is also true that the
Albany young men have made a step
forward since they have learned “a
thing or two.” Verily, tills ie an age
