EDITORIAL AND COMMUNICATED.
To Houston Teachors.
jf- •
Attention is called to the books
which have been purchased by the
Board of Education as a library for
the use of teachers. Only books from
the pops of tho best authors] and
teachers of pedagogy have been se
lected. At present there are only
33 volumes, but others will be add
ed from time to time.
These books are full of the expe
rience and ideas of those who have
preceded us and those who are now
at the head of the teaching profes
sion. Through the constant study
of the best Books and magazines on
questions of teaching, the older
teacher finds himself growing
stronger in his work, and the young
teacher, to a great extent, saves
himself being taught in the rough
and hazardous school of self-experi
ence.
The twentieth century dawns up
on a world of students—students of
law, students of medicine, students
of the science and art of teaching,
students of everything—men who
are trying to learn all there is to
know in their respective fields of
work and to find the best methods
of application.
The teacher who to natural apti
tude has added habits of study has
doubtless long ago found his work
change from daily burdensome tasks
to a duty in the performance of
which he finds much that is really
pleasant.
I am advised by Mr. Glenn, the
state school commissioner, that
Roark’s Methods is the professional
book to be used in connection with
the examination this year. Roark is
a distinguished Southern educator
and his book will be very helpful to
teachers.
The next state examination will
occur about the usual time.
Teachers can get books from the
library upon application for them.
Those desiring to purchase copies
of Roark’s Methods can get them
from the American Book Co., of At
lanta, by sending $1.00, and the
book will be forwarded postage pre
paid. The book can be obtained at
20 per cent, discount if all the or
ders from a county are sent in one
order. Those desiring to get the
benefit of the discount can do so by
sending me their names.
Respectfully,
Geo. W. Smith, C. S. C.

lished next week.—Ed.]
Mossy Hill Notes.
BY SOCKS.
Corn planting is now with us, and
a delightful rain this morning put
the ground in fine fix. Some of the
smart set on the hill have fiinished
planting, but the great majority will
commence this week.
It makes us so tired to see from
the daily papers every little town
scribbler declaring the cotton acre
age will be alarmingly increased,
when tliese scribblers couldn’t tell a
peck of ground-peas from a bundle
of wheat if their lives depended up
on it. Last year many of the best
farmers in v the county sold their cot
ton seed, and of course had to buy
guano more heavily. That made the
scribblers swear by all that is holy
that the largest cotton crop the
world ever heard of would b9 made.
"We would beg to remind them once
more, that one of the greatest needs
of the farmers is to be let alone.
What has become of the Hender
son Fishing Club? Nothing has
been heard of it since the great
snow storm. They were on the Hill
during the snow storm long enough
to take a “thawer” and inform us
they had enfoyed fisherman’s luck,
lost a horse and all their fishing
tackle. From observation we have
concluded that all fishing clubs are
alike in one respect: They fish prin
cipally with “live bait,” and usually
carry their bait in a jug.
Dave says he isn’t in any more.
That he only mortgaged two mules
co get some whiskey, and that the
officers would “ketch” him every
time they come. Now Levy has won
all his laurels from him, and is such
a slick bre’r rahbit that the officers
never find him.
The Elko Jumbo don’t know. How
does he expect a fellow to drive a
quill when he’s got the cows to
milk, do the churning and help
nurse the baby. When it comes to
milking, we are “right thar,” but
churning and nursing is something
else.
Mrs. Harrison of Muzellft is on

The Echeconnee Association, em
bracing Primitive Baptist chourches
of Houston, Bibb. Crowford, Pike,
Monroe and Upson counties, will
hold its general meeting with Beth-
lahem church at Macon on the 29th,
30th and 31st days in March, em
bracing the 5 th Sunday. Bibb
county Primitive Baptists, says the
Telegraph, will be ready for the oc-

ity. At least 200 delagates and vis
itors from the several churches and
corresponding associations are ex
pected to attend.
Ik Kentucky, Texas, Illinois and
other states of the middle west, rain
and wind did much damage to life
and property last Saturday. At
Owensboro there was a cloud-burst,
and much damage to the streets re
sulted. A tornado swept through
Texas, killing people and animale
and destroying houses. At Willis
Point alone the loss of property is
estimated at $50,000, and in Chica-
ga it is said the damage will amount
to $160,000. In Arkansas, Tennes
see, Michigan and Missouri the des
truction was enormous, and many
people were killed. It was the
worst storm of the winter.
