Houston’s Public Schools^
In these' columns recently it was
reported that through County
School Commissioner, Geo. W.
Smith, the county board of edu
cation had issued to the teachers
and patrons of Houston public
schools a pamphlet embracing the
course of study, rules and regula
tions and record of the schools for
last year.
The course of study is known to
the teachers and patrons, and
‘therefore it is unnecessary to say
more here than that it is fully up
to the requirements of the law,
and more.
The same is true of the rules,
au^-we will only sav that they
are wholesome^ and will serve the
cause of public education admir
ably if strictly observed.
Pupils will'be required . to at
tend school in the school district
in whichvthey live. , : : ; .

course of study will receive a c'om-

G 1 Spinster’s Blub.
October term of Houston
Superior Court was. called to or
der at 10 o’oclock last Monday
morning, with Judge W. H. Fel
ton on the bench, and Solicitor
General W.. Brunson present in
behalf of the state.
v The grand and traverse jurors
were called and enrolled.
On account of the prevalence of
scarlet fever in the county, and
other causes, more jurors than
ever beforr known were absent.
Only 18 grand jurors out of 30
summonedjwere sworn.
The grand jury organized by the
election-of J. H; Hodges as , fore
man, J. G. Holtzclaw clerk .and
D. H. Culler, bailiff.
The charge of Judge Felton to
the grand jury was exhaustive and
clear, making plain the entire du
ty of that body concerning ; the
county affairs and criminan busi
ness, to be considered.
The Court called the civil dock
et.
Quite a number of old cases
have been finally disposed of by
settlement, nonsuit, etc. Many
cases have been continued, because
of the inability of Maj\ R. N.
Holtzclaw of Perry and Col., Joe
Hall of Macon to attend, they be
ing leading counsel.
At noon Wednesday the civil
docket was practically exhausted,
and the traverse jurors for : the
first week were discharged for the
term.
The grand jury will probably
adjourn. Thursday afternoon or
Friday morning.
The criminal docket will be
taken up next Monday.
