ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION.
Last Saturday representatives
from the LawrencevilleCitv school,
Trip High School and Perry-Rai
ney college met here and organ
ized the Gwinnett County Oratori
cal Association.
As yet only three schools have
entered the organization but it is
safe to say that others will join
when they learn that the move
ment is assured of success. Any
school in the county can join the
association and the fact that the
country schools have the same
privileges as the town schools will
put the entire county in sympa
thy with the movement. In fact,
we shall be surprised if many of
the schools do not apply for mem
bership, for it would seem to be
the most natural thing for a
school to do, if the school is man
aged by an enterprising teacher.
So far as we have been able to
learn the plan of tho oratorical
association is to perfect its organ
ization as soon as possible by
adopting a constitution aud by
laws and providing for holding
the first annual contest. We pre
sume that every school belonging
to the association will be entitled
to one representative in each con
test.
The first contest will be held
during the summer and the best
speaker will be presented with a
handsome gold medal. Prof.
C. R. Ware has offered to give the
medal and no doubt many an
ambitious boy will strive to cap
ture it, for it will be no slight
honor to win such a trophy bearing
on its face the significant state
ment that the owner is the chain
pior speaker of the county.
RURAL MAIL.
While in Walton county a few
days ago we made some inquiries
concerning the benefits derived
from the operation of the rural
mail delivery. The people there
are enthusiastic in their praise of
the system aud the reason for this
is patent. They get mail daily
and are thereby enabled to keep
in touch with the world and its
happenings. We learned that
since the establishing of these
routes the amount of mail deliv
ered has almost doubled. Farm
ers are taking daily papers ten and
twelve miles in the country and
scores of people who have never
taken papers have become con
stant subscribers.
Six routes go out from Monroe
to every part of the county. And
just here let us say that our coun
ty certainly deserves something,
and we do not believe that Monroe
deserves six and Lawrenceville
none.
OCR DRINK BILL,

In a legislative inquiry during
the last eession of the general as
sembly Seab Wright asked Hon.
G. R. Glenn if Governor Candler
was not an educated man. “Cer
tainly Governor Candler is not au
educated man,” replied the com
missioner, and then a broad gnu
spread itself over the faces of the
legislators. If Mr. Glenn says
that the governor is not an educa
ted man, wonder what he thinks
about the average senator and
representative ?

RAILROAD TO MACON.
The newspapers have given out
some important news concerning
a railroad from our town to
Macon. The Seaboard is talking
of building the road, and if it is
built Lawrenceville will doubtless
be its northern terminus. Such a
road would open a fine territory
and offer a direct route to the
coast.
The following special from Ma
con gives the details more fully :
Macon, Ga., April 2. —From a
very secret channel comes the in
formation that within the next
few days an application will be
filed with the secretary of state
for a charter to construct a rail
road to run from Macon in a
northerly direction and connect
with the Seaboard Air-Line aud
possibly with the Louisville and
Nashville. The proposed line
will traverse the counties of Jones,
Jasper, Newton, Walton, Gwinnett
aud others. In leaviug Ma
con it will go to Clinton, Mou
ticello aud other wellknown towns
in Georgia that lie directly in the
proposed route. It is ex
pected that the road will connect
with Seaboard Air-Line at Law
renceville, Gwinnett county. It
cannot be ascertained at this
writing what will be the terminal
of the line. It is said that a
branch road will be constructed
from some point near Newborn
or Covington, in Newton county,
to Atlanta and connection there
made with the Western and Atl
antic railroad.
It is thought that possibly the
new road will connect at Macon
with the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah railroad, and that this
line will be completed at a near
day from Dublin to Savannah.
The propo ed line will give Macon
a new road to the north and the
construction of the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah from Dublin to Sa
vannah will also furnish Macon a
new road to the south.

A Library For School at Suwanee.
Here is what Miss Annie-Julia
Ross has done for her school at
Suwanee. It is not much, yet it
is more than any other teacher has
done in the county in the way of
securing a library. What & bless
ing the reading of these good books
will be to the children in the com
munity of Suwanee 1 When I was
a teacher I often remarked that all
boys that read good books would
become good men, and I am still
of the same opinion. As a teacher
I helped to secure libraries at Au
burn aud at this place. Miss Ross
starts a third one at Suwanee.
What teacher and community will
begin the fourth library ?
Read what Miss Ross says:
Suwanee, Ga., March 30.
Prof. Bagwell,
Lawrenceville, Ga.,
Dear Sir: —We succeeded in
getting $18.39 towards the library
We cannot at present make it
$25 to get the list we are working
for. A school entertainment
seemed to be the only resource and
I could not make up my mind to
take the time from study to pre
pare for one, so I have ordered
with this sl3 a list which I think
will make a good beginning to
wards a town library. I think
when we get these into the com
munity the people will donate for
a larger library. I enclose the
list:

“ Sarsaparilla ” famous
over the whole world.
There’s no other sarsa
parilla like it. In age and
power to cure it’s “ The
leader of them all.”

“After suffering terribly I was
