Professors Flanigan and Maxwell, tile two able teachers in charge at Auburn, extended their fel low teachers a cordial welcome, and all of them seemed to enjoy themselves. Captain S. D. Brad well, President of the State Normal College at Athens, delivered a very interesting and in structive address. In speaking about liia school, he said that 741 pupils had been enrolled during the school year Just closed, and tie expects to have a 1000 teachers in attendance during the next session. The editor was there, but as he is no longer a teacher, and was thereby barred from membership, lie was not allowed to be heard. However, about 12 o’clock when the question came up as to whether the program should be finished before dinner or there should he an afternoon session, and it seemed that dinner was to he indefinitely post poned, the editor broke harness, joined in rank*. with his old comrades, and took a strong stand for dinner, Cap tain Bradwell, in his address, had said so much about biscuit and chicken that the teachers were so hungry that the dinner crowd easily won. We left on the 2 o’clock train and do not know what was done in the after noon. We are informed that the next meeting will be held in Trip on tile second .Saturday in next January. Only Four to Spend the Holidays In Law rence ville Jail. Wliiie the burning of powder and merry shouts of the children will an nounce the arrival of Christmas Mon day week, it will possibly come to these unfortunate beings in another way. While they are shut out from tile glad tidings of Christmas greetings this time, there was a time when they were young and happy on Christmas mornings. All being young men,it has been hut a few years since they were the same anxious Santa-Claus admirers that we will see this year. But Christ mas this year will bring them sadness, yet we hope that some cheering word will come to them from mother, father or friends. ' It’s a sweet thought to recall a Christmas morning when all were aglow with smiles, circled around the fireside. The presents brought happi ness to the children, and the enchant ing smiles of the children broughtglo rious hearts and lovely faces to the father and mother. Those were good times, and all would like to live them a dozen times o’er, but nay. The four confined in the jail here are W. 11. Wilburn, from Cains district! charged with assault with intent to murder. Starling Coggings, who was convicted of burglary at September term of court and sentenced five years.

Moses Liddell, who has been visiting relatives near here, has gone to Atlan ta to stay a few weeks. Esq. Jinks and wife, of Jinks post office, attended preaching here Sunday. There is talk of running a telephone line from Lawrenceville to Suwanee. If this is done C. A. Turner, our mer chant, will probably connect it with his store. We don’t see a single name out of this community on the subscription list for the cotton factory. Gentlemen, wake up to your interest. If you can’t subscribe much, every little will be a help. C. A. Turner seems to be doing a good mercantile business. Some of our young people went to Mount Pleasant last Sunday.
