As has been previously stated in the

view of having a graded high school
These improvements are to be com.
pleted ill time to inaugurate the
graded school system at the beginning

A MALE FIRST ASSISTANT.
The faculty of the graded school
will consist of the Principal and five
assistants or teachers, and at their

The Trustees are figuring on an at.
tendance of something like three hun
dred pupils at the next term, and they
feel confident of making it one of the
very best graded schools in the State.

Speaking of a recent trip to the
watering places, Bab says: “I saw one
girl who was a thing of beauty; and
whose, hat was a gleam ot roses, lace
and flutf generally, which looked as if
had been thrown on her head by a
pitchfork, and yet with a very becom
ing result'; and this girl assured me
that it took three-quarters of an hour
tu put ; that hat on right, and that she
used seventeen large pins and four
small ones. Since hearing this I have
never seen a summer girl who looked
overwhelmingly picturesque that I
did not wonder how long it took her to
get the pose. She is very marvelous to
look at this year. For several seasons
elm has been natty in sailor lists, olotb
skirts, lilouses and moBt bewitching
belts, and she gave me the Impression
of beings glri who was very clean
abd who was going out to have a good
time. But she has changed all that.
She has,a flowered silk frook made
daintily with ruffles of laoe and knots
of ribbon, and then she has a marve
lous hat that is cooksd at queer angles,
and from under the broad brim of
whioli ber coquettish eyes luoked out.
She has a filmy parasol, and, most im
portant of alia oape. Now, that last
doesn’t sound is If it were much, and
yet in the career of the summer girl
this little cape, which may be of lace,
may be of ribbon, is always quite
small, but very flirty looking, is an im
portant faotor.
She always gives it to the man who
is hovering around her to take eare of;
and, after he has held it for a little
while, he Is oonsoious of the faot that
it Is fragrant With her favorite per
fume; he gets to having quite a liking
for it and bugs it up cluse to him, that
wicked little cape! until its owner
says: “Stop! stop! you are mussing
my oape! give it back to me I” And
when it is given up, he feels as if he
had parted with something that was
very near and dear to him, and he en
vies the cape, or rather, he curses him
self for being so rough with it, and
letting it go oot of Ills hands. It la
always getting lost—just when he is
waiting to bear whether the girl loves
him or not, shesuddenly discovers that
she has lost her oape and a search has
to be made for.it; it is always getting
in the way, Mr when she says, her
neck is cold and he volunteers to put
ids coat-sleeve about it to keep it
warm, the little cape is suddenly re

If a girl don’t Want to look in the eyoi
of anybody, any mascuiinu body, slip
oan play with the rihbmi of ber olipe;
and if she don’t want to seem too
eager about anything, she coolly mid
calmly affeots nervousness by tying
and untying bows in its ends. Some
times when the evenings are Cool slip
throws it over her head, and then she
looks like some indy of tho olden time,
who has just stepped’ out of her sedan
oliair. As a weapon, coquetry, I may
add, that I consider the little enpe of
more use than a fan ami fur ahead of
the glove. Its posBibi lilies ore greater,
and it. has a personality that is most
attractive.

Death af a Babe.
from Saturday's Evkninu Hf.hai.d.
Yesterday afternoon at 8 o’clook,
Hartwell Tarver Weston, the infant
eon of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Westdn, died
at the residence of Capt. R. Hobbs.
He was a bright, beautiful baby, just
four months old; anil after an illness
of about two weeks with inflamma
tion 6t the bowels, the angel of death
took the Bpirit of the little sufferer
back to the God who gave it.
In thih sad hour of their affliction
the hearts of the entire community go
out in sympathy to the grief stricken
parents and relatives, mourning the
early death of their loved one, around
whom eo many fond hopes were cen
tered.
After brightening the home for
few short montbB, this little one has
gone to the heavenly nursery, and a
link is forged which binds the hearts
of the parents of the departed to
Heaven. In their deep grief may these
words of Jesus fall like a benediction
upon their bleeding hearts,“Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not; for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven.”
Tile funeral took place from the res
idence of Capt. Hobbs at 9 o’clock this
morning, and was attended by a large
number of sympathetic friendB.
The Rev. J. W. Weston, of Macon
brother of the bereaved father, con
ducted the funeral service, and Messrs
Myron and Carl Weston and Henry
and Fort Tarver were the pall bear
ers.

"Each year the local paper gives
from $199 to $10,000 in free lines to the
oommunlty in which It is located. No
other agency can or will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means, does
more for bis country than any other
ten men; he ought to be supported,
not because you like him and bis writ
ing, hilt air should support a local
paper because it is the best investment
a community can make, lb may not
be brilliantly edited or crowded with
thought, but financially It is of more
benefit to the people than the teacher
or preacher. UnderBtartd me, I do not
say morally or intellectually, but fi
nancially; and yet on the right side.
To-day the editors of the borne papers
do the most for the least-money of any
men on earth.”

From Friday’s Evening llurald.
Isaac Seabrooks, a well-known
Negro, was looked in the county jail
this morning, and will have to answer
in the courts on n very serious ohnrge.
He is ohnrged with n oriminal as
sault upon n twelve-year-old Negro
girl.- The girl belongs down about
Camilla, and gives her name as Julia
Strawler. She is a mere child, and
had run away from home, it aeeme, to
go on the excursion to Andersonville
on Federal Memorial Dny.
. Seabrooka took the girl, according to
her story, from a house in the north
ern part of the city, under pretense of
oarrying her to the depot and Bending
her home. After getting her off he
assaulted her, nnd when be reaohed
the depot with her the train on whioh
she expeoted to return home had gone,
Senbrooks left her at the depot.
The girl’s story was a pitiful one,
and ns eoon as it tenolied the ears of
the offloers a warrant was sworn out
before Magistrate Robert charging
Seabrooka witii the crime he had com
mitted.
Seabrooka was not found by the of
ficers until this morning, when he
presented himself at the residence of
Deputy Sheriff Godwin and gave him-
eelf up. Mr. Godwin carried him to
jail.
Seabrooka denies the story that the
girl tells, and seems to think that he
will be able to prove his innocence,
but the condition of the girl seems to
confirm her story, in parr, at least.

Dow’s name was brought up.
■One night, a few years ago,” re
marked one of tho oldest officers on

was landed in a cell, and he remarked
rather indignantly: ’You lock up n

to. Why, I drank brandy and water
with Neal Dow once. I’m behind

story got to the ears of the doughty
old general, who came to the station
in dudgeon. He approached the
man and denounced him.

The story that the Herald told
about an Albany lady finding a lost

other lady in the yard was a true one;
hut nothing was said to warrant the
conclusion that a doodle was found
wearing the gem. Oar brilliant
Florida contemporary has drawn on
its own luoid imagination for the
“whopper” it slyly credits to the Her

There’s a pretty “howdy-do” among

Tenn. It transpires that Bishop I. W.

Episcopal church, permitted himself to
be entertained by Elder Brooke (col

copal Zion church of Cleveland last
week. The Bishop, premeditatediy,
went to theNegroe’s house, ate supper
at the same table with the Elder and
slept under the same roof with him
And now Bishop Joyoe is going to be
boycotted and snubbed. The members
of bis flock are up in arms and vow
that they will never touch their
leader’s hand again. The Bishop has
