DADE COUNTY TIMES -PUBLISHED £ EVERY FRIDAY— HUNT CITATUM, Proprietors jy; f. TA 1 l 3y, Editor OFFICIAL ORGAN OF DADE COUNTY Entered at the Tost Office at Trenton Ga., as second class mail r matter. Terms SI.OO per year in advance. Advertising rates reasonable and will be jaade known upon application. All communications 'must be accompa me with the heal name of the writer. Address all correspondence to The Times, Trenton, Ga. Suppose the Chattanooga News and tho people of Dade County Ga., should decide to run the New’s candidate No. 13 for con grcss, in the 7th Georgia district two years hence. The Avhrt? In our opinion both would be to doc tor afterward for the disease of “political folly. ’ ’ a ♦ m* Trenton also has a skating rink in her school building. But there hasn’t been no disturbance raised about it as yet. The people in this community must be more liberal, in their views, than some of our neighbors, or perhaps these boys don’t “chaw terbacer” and spit the juice all over the Avails. —iTT- We are Granted a Hearing. I am advised by the State Bail road Commission that the petition of citizens of Trenton and vicinity for improved depot facilities at this place, has been set doAvn for] formal hearing before the commis sion at its meeting to be held Dec 3rd 1908, at which time the Board trusts that all par ies at interest will be represented The citzcns of Trenton and vicinity will berep rese n ted. Ed i tor. At the request of our county school commissioner we are pub lishing at other places in this issue papers from the pens of tAVO of our young lady school teachers on timely and important subjects. The commissioner and others that hear these papers read before the assemblage of teachers here last week pronounced them Avorthy of publication and think they should be carefully read and their con tents observed by every patron and school trustee in the county. There is a ditch near the south end of the depot at this place which Avas made by the railroad company for the purpose of drain ing surface Avater from the streets not under the depot platform. The ditch is about 18 inches deep and is near the platform open in the public highways. It is very dan gerous to the traveling public and was demonstrated *Wednesday 1 light when, in the presence of a large crowd, immediately after train No. 1, south bound let its passengers off. a lady passenger and her little child proceeding up the street and fell headlong into the ditch, receiving a lively shake up and barely escaping serious in juries. This place must be fixed. PREPARE TO ISSUE BONDS TO BUILD ROADS Aid, OVER THE COUNTY. The. plan now js lo build roads all over the coun ty and issue bonds for that purpose without convicts. This is the re quest. of at least two hundred pro gressive OfidN&e’fttl v\ iio have signed a petition asking the Oidinaiy to call an election to vote BOND'S lor | his purpose. fAThis election is to ho called be fore February 15th, 1900, In the meantime it is the duty of the Or dinary *to have ali main roads in the county surveyed by an expert Civil Enai" or pd an es in,a taken from him according to cer tain plans and specification's, sis to average cost par mile or total cost to t uild the live main roads in the county and then vote that amount f bunds to build it.

Tak<-* (ini' pr st-hd ."deal nem taxes and V.lnd mpiO'V will be d> lived \ C.t iiy from the hire of our o convicts place them together in a bank at semi-annual compound interest, less enough to pay interest on the bonds annually and in twenty years time you will have enough money to pay out $100,000.00 of bonds without an increase of one cent in tax assessments for the purpose. — m •* Dade county will have five con victs out of the present gang to rent or work. Since all convicts in the state are called for by dif ferent counties Dade is left out in the coal with her quoto of 5 men. Without otherSjto go with these five men they will not be worked by the county authorities and therefore will be hired out. CHURCH NOTES.

BLIND TIGER IN GEORGIA “Another blind tiger is in full blast in Rising Fawn,” remarkek a traveling man to a representative of the Times yesterday, “and the citizens of the North Georgia town are awaiting with interest the out come. ‘ Last year there were two in operation and a lurge number ot indictments were found, aiid the judge advised one mant bat if he came before him again there would be no money which could keep him out of the penitentiary. ‘■ln view of the attitude of Judge Fite the present ‘tiger’ is thought to be very <ck less, and as drunk enness on the streets ot Rising Fawn is now a common thing tin course of procedure will be, it L understood, in the way of a special tenii of the superior court, in order to convince guilty partem that it will not be possible to v Lit Ala bama just prior to the March term of couit.

Firmly as Ave believe in the im portance of education, there is lack of interest in numberless things, and Avliat is neglected more than our school houses? The time of the old log sclioolhouse is past, in fact, this is a day of prosperity, and should Ave not have a comfortable place for the teachers and children of our country? I say comfortable, yes comfortable, for.many of our schoolhouses are not. Many com munitios can not have a winter school on account of bad school houses. Are the coming genera tions to get their education little by little, attending school over five months in each year? Let us hope that the day is not far distant when Dade county Avili have school rooms which are equal to any in the country. Next to the church what speaks better for settlements than good schoolhouses and Avliat is the pur pose of the people is not having them? Particular spirit should be encouraged f-r the persistent and emphatic proclamation of the deeper aspects of educational sur roundings and for fervent prophet ic appeal in order to arouse the flagging interest and to keep the people from forgetting that it is for them and their children. There used a proper impression that im agination Avas ol value only to ar tists, poets and story tellers. Re cently hoAvcver are those who are not philosophers beginning to re alize that perhaps the philosophers have known all a ong that there is a vital relationship between imag ination and the common things of life. What of the health of both teacher and children avlio spend the last tAvo, months of school in a cold, damp building? Perhaps the building 1 aks and Avhen it rains one can scarcely ttiici a ary place large enough for the occupants of the room. Then again countless, window panes are missing. Per mission is given to the children to leave their seats and gather about the stove, which perhaps is smo king and one can hardly bear to remain within tAventy feet, of it. Teacher and children have to con tend Avitli this for hours every school day. Almost any one will be moved with compassion on seeing another seriously injured by a street acci dent, and Avili go to his assistance without stopping to count the cost. The concrete case touches him, appeals to him. Yet today hundreds of patents are letting their school building remain in a condition which is simply murder ing the children. Mr. Davis has said in one of his talks on Psychology that it is the nature of man to remain in indo-1 lent passivity. Is this the trou ble with our people? Every par ent will answer in the negative. They do not intend to be cruel perhaps they do not exercise im agination. *' Do not mistake imag ination. Some place a wrong con struction upon it and to them it is fancy. There is a great difference between imagination and fancy. Suppose one hears an noise at the door itt the night and in his mind sees someone there trying to break into the house. That is not im agination but fancy. Imagination is of the deeper things, and this developed will bring great success. Then why not use a little imagina tion in the upbuilding of our school houses. The furniture of the school room should be thought of as much as the building itself. Take the av erage country school house they have no desks, and penmanship can not be taught correctly. Future men and women, and some of the greatest of them, are being mould ed in the school rooms of our ru ral districts, and we should strive to give them the best advantages possible, the: simple filler FOUNTAIN PEN The pen that practical y fills itself from any i k well or|bottle in five sen - - onds.
