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. [A list of.the books will be pub 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 Sill visiting her little grand-son at the home of Mr. F. W. Pool. Mrs. C. B. Till is spending a month in Cordele with friends. Mrs. W. T.. VanLandinghara, who has been visiting friends in south west Georgia, has returned home.

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. more —- Mss.
