An Aid for Teaching Geography.
In the institute this week Mr.
J. C. Wilson exhibited a novel
piece of map work, which is cer¬
tainly a great aid to a teacher in
teaching geography. It consists
in a map of the United States
moulded in babbit metal, each
state cast in a separate piece. By
taking these pieces and arranging
them m their proper order, tho
pupil readily grasps an accurate
idea of the geography of the coun¬
try. The mountains and rivers
ttf the country are also plainly
represented in the work. This
work is of Mr. Wilson’s own get
up, and required several days in
its completion.

Mr, Well, the expert, has been
pushing the work, aud assisted by
some of the teachers in attendance
has succeeded in making every
session of interest and profit.
One of the most talked of papers
produced was that of Prof. J.
Currie Thompson, of Screven
county, on astronomy. His dis¬
sertation on the relation of the
various planets to the earth, their
size, distance, etc., was a master¬
piece, and was a startler to these
who are wont to think that Bul¬
loch county, Georgia, the United
States, and even this entire globe
are “the only pebble on the
beach.” In fact, he says that
astronomy reveals ‘the fact that
the number of globes of equal
importance with ours is as innum¬
erable as the sands upon the sea¬
shore. Another interesting state¬
ment was that proof conclusive is
had that the sun is gradually
and surely losing the brilliancy
of its light, and that it will have
entirely faded by the expiration
of ten million years from this
date. That event, however, will
not leave many of us in the dark.
By a vote of the teachers it was
decided to hold only forenoon
sessions, meeting at 8:80 and ad¬
journing at 12:30. Therefore the
teachers have the entire after¬
noons to spend in social inter¬
course among themselves, which
they are apparently enjoying fully.
At this morning’s session Prof.
Walter Hendrix, who has been
teaching in Tennessee for the past
two years, made a verj’ able talk
upon .the subject of the teacher’s
responsibility to his pupils and
patrons. It was well leceived.
The institute will adjourn at
12:80, and most of the teachers
wilh.leave for their homes this
afternoon. Most of the Screven
teachers left by the D. & 6. this
morning for their homes.

NOT A VERY “SLY BIRD.”
The Fact of a Harriage Could Not be
Kept Secret Till August.
Some people in Statesboro have
been consumed hy curiosity this
week by the announcement that a
marriage had occurred in town
last Thursday night, the particu¬
lars of which were to be kept
secret till the first, of August. Re¬
port had it that the marriage
occurred while the parties sat in
the buggy in front of the Metho¬
dist parsonage, and that Rev.
Flanders, the officiating clergy¬
man, and W. B. Johnson were the
only witnesses.
How even that much of the story
became public is not known, but
with it as a starting point, that
little human infirmity called
“curiosity” sot- to work to solve
the mystery. The inference was
that the contracting parties were
town people, and nearly every
man, woman and child of mar¬
riageable age in town was sus¬
pected of being the guilty party.
The young ladies and gentlemen
of the town were most anxious to
find out, lest they might ignorant¬
ly pay court to one or the other
of the contracting parties before
the fact of the marriage should
be announced; but the preacher
and Mr. Johnson both stoutly re¬
fused to give any information.
The Hebald reporter was the
first one to ferret out. the mys¬
tery, and herewitli gives the facts
in the case to those who have not
already learned them. Mr. W. S.
Bird and Miss Alice Hendrix, liv¬
ing four miles south of town, came
to Statesboro Thursday evening,
returning latent night. Mr. Bird
left the young lady at her father’s
house as usual and went his way.
The next day the secret escaped
that they had been married while
in town, and for reasons of their
own had agreed to live apart until
the first of August.
Those are the facts in the mys¬
terious oase. As “murder will
out,” so will matrimony.
Picnic on The Fourth.
There will be a grand picnic
given on the 4th of July on the
two-chop road near Mr. S. B.
Woodcock’s, Refreshments will
be on the grounds free. Every¬
body is cordially invited to at¬
tend and bring well filled baskets.
There will be an elevated platform
for dancing.

“LAUGH AND OROW FAT.”
This is Rev. Atumford, the Orphan
Home Man’s Appropriate Motto.
Rev. W. E. Mumford, founder
of the new Industrial Home in
Macon, was in town this week in
the interest of hie institution. As
usual, he was in a very funny
humor, and ho laughed about fifty
dollars out of the crowd at the
court house Monday night. This,
added to a similar amount raised
of the Methodist church Sunday,
made quite a creditable contribu¬
tion from our town to his Home 1 .
Mr. Mumford is a funny-man in
its strictest sense. His motto is,
“Laugh and grow fat,” and he
lives up to that motto. He laughs
as he talks, and there is something
wrong with the liver of tho man
who can hear him and not laugh.
He thinks a long face is not nec¬
essarily a badge of a Christian—
males havo long faces; and he
expressed the opinion that more
long faces are due to indigestion
than to religion.
Mr. Mumford’s object, however,
is not to make people laugh, but to
make them think. He is devot¬
ing his life to the maintenance of
an industrial home for the outcast
children of Georgia,and his talents
are employed in raising funds for
its support. His Home has been
established about sixteen months,
aud now lias upwards of seventy
inmates. The necessary expense
of the Home is between $4U0 and
$500 per month.

Tale of An Old Rooster.
A rooster without a tail is a
/pitiab'o looking object, but such
is not the subject of this poem.
Instead, this is a tale of a rooster
with a tail. Whether or not this
tale is exactly straight, makes no
difference—neither was the old
rooster’s tail. But be that as it
may, this is not purely a tale of
fiction, hut is almost a true story.
Its get-up was inspired hy a friend¬
ly feeling for the chicken family
as well as the farmer who sold the
rooster and the clerk who couldn’t,
and to them is respectfully dedi¬
cated by the school girls who
wrote this poem, entitled:
AN AGED ROOSTER.
Old farmer Nanco Is a nice old man.
He makes ids living the last way he can,
He hoed all day till the sun went down.
Then got his old rooster and pullod off to town.
Twenty-five cents was the price he asked.
But to sell that old chicken he found a hip task:
He strolled around town to nearly every store
To see If he couldn’t get one penny more.
He went to seo Martin, Gllsson and Hanll.
But In cither of these there was no trade at all;
He fell a penny every where he went.
And finally he sold him for fifteen cents. *
’Twas at Mrs. A. Moore's the sale he got—
Whether It was In money of trade we know not.
The fowl’s old spurs were twice ns long as his toes;
When Mr. Nance got him Methuselah only knows.
To Judge from his looks I venture to say
He was a very old rooster on the selling day.
All through court week the passers-by
Said, “Poor Olilrooster. I’m afraid you’ll die!’’
One night some kind friends In sympathy said,
“Let’s pul thls’old rooster up over head."
The act they did and then went away.
Laughing about what the merchant would say.
Next morning the children camo strolling by
And all of (hem cheered with n Joyful cry—
“Where Is the old rooster?” “Dead. I hope!”
But lo 1 and behold, it was all a huge Joke.
Along came Mr. Me-- arid to the marshnl’sald ho,
“Where in the thunder can my old^rooster be?”
In reply that officer laughingly said,
"I believe the old fellow Is up over head."
The merchant Indignantly lowered him down.
Sawed off his spurs ami shipped him to towD.
Since then we lost trace of him, but venture to bet
If old age hiisn’t worsted him he’s living there yet.

Naturalists are,not at all agreed upon
the point as to whether snakes are able
to fascinate their prey. Certainly they
do uot possess the power to the extent
that popular belief would have It.
Stories of the weird and mystic Influ¬
ence of a serpent’s eye fall flat in the
face of scientific accuracy. What can
be said of snakes, however, Is that
their very appearance paralyzes the
victim. It cannot move for fright, for
Its faculties aro temporarily suspend¬
ed. There Is no fascination about this,
however. It is fright., and fright alone.

DEMOCRATIC MA;
Chairman Brannen Calls One for
First Honday in July.
A democratic mass meeting is
cabed to meet in Statesboro on
the first Monday in July next, for
the purpose of selecting a chair¬
man and democratic ‘executive
committee of Bulloch county, and
for the purpose of adopting some
plan for the nomination of a rep¬
resentative and ccunty officers for
the coming October election, and
for selecting delegates to the sen
atorial convention 17th district.
It is especially desired to have
a large attendance at this meeting
in order to get the voiee of the
party ns to the best plan for
making such nominations, A
democrat who stays at home on
that day cannot be hoard to say
that the wrong method was adopt¬
ed for the nomination.
Tho party is divided as to the
plan of nomination. Some are in
favor of an old fashioned primary
as held heretofore in this county;
some are in favor of a white pri
mary, and still others are in favor
of a nomination by district com
mitten. Hence the importance for
all the party to turn out on that
day and adopt the best plan, and
the one which a majority of the
party favor.
All qualified voters who expect
to align themselves with the dem¬
ocratic party in the future and
who will support the nominees of
the party, are cordially invited to
attend and take part in this meet¬
ing. This June lltli, 1900.
