Hon, Martin V. Calvin, of Au

Tho Teachers’ Pay.
Elsewhere in this issue will be!
I found a notice that the teach- ’

last year’s salary next Saturday.
As stated before Mr. S. E. Jones
ha§ 1e -n elected County School
Commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Mr. Milner,
and is now in charge of the office.
In making a transfer of the bus
' mess of an office under these con
ditions, it is customary that a
thorough examination of the ac
counts, vouchers, etc , be made be
fore the transfer is completed, and
especially is this necessary where
the incumbent of an office has '
been debarred by sudden affliction 1
and death from correcting mis-:
takes, if any had been made. This
course was but a simple matter of
justice, not only to the deceased, ‘
but also to his successor, who must
assume the duties and responsibil
ties of the position.
Accordingly, Mr. Milner’s ac
counts and vouchers were gone
over carefully by two of the most
capable and competent business
men in town, and when compared
with the books in the bank,
through which the school money
had been pj,id, it '/bund That
they balanced exact y, even to a
cent.
It wiil be a source of great satis
faction to Mr. Milner’s friends to
know that he carried into the bus
iness affairs of every day life the
precepts that he' had so often
taught In a spiritual sense, and
that was, a thorough preparation
for the evil hour that so often
comes unawares.
This little incident of every day
business carries a moral well worth
heeding, and suggests a question
that each one may ask himself—
will my books balance?
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together and un
til the last few years was supposed
to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a lo
cal disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo.
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
r internally in doses from 10 drops
. to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
j on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
’ fails to cure. Send for circulars

The death of Rev. Mr. Milner,
the late pastor of the Presbyterian
’ church at Summerville, at the Mil
ledgeville Asylum Saturday after
. noon, is deeply regretted by his
many friends in North Georgia.
—Dalton Citizen.
Col. Jesse A. Glenn has had a
long siege of the lagrippe, but we
are glad to know that he is again
at his office and entirely recov
ered from his scare. He says the
grippe makes an old man feel rath
er uncomfortable in view of the
many deaths resulting from this
malady among the people.—Dal
ton Citizen.
Quite a large number of new pupils
enterred the Summerville school this
week, and the attendance is now- over
100, and is increasing each week. Every
scat in the girls’ room is occupied aud
more seats aud desks arebauly needed.
The trustees ought to examine into
this matter, and see that better accom
modations are provided, aud that the
school rooms be made as comfortable
and healthful as possible. These little
details ought to be looked after by those
in authority, aud every reasonable es
fort made to secure the health and com
fort of the children.
Mr. Frank T. Teynolds, the travel
ling representative of the Rome Trib

one of the best newspaper men in
north Georgia aud his work on the

that paper.
Capt. Tim Ford, of Dalton, was in

The Parent as a Factor In Edu
cation.
The parent and the teacher. Two
words of mighty import to the
children of our land, and the pro
gress of our race. The parent i
first, and then the teacher. These
awakened to true ideas of educa
tion and life, means true manhood
aud true womanhood for the chil
dren.
We believe that all parents are ;
interested in the success of their ■
children, but there are so many 1
! other duties of life demanding at-1
tention, that parents, as a ' rule,
cannot, or at least do not bring to
the subject of “Child Life” that
study and consideration its impor
tance demands. We never become |
■ impressed with an idea until wo
devote study and thought to it.
We may see ideas expressed in
books, we may listen to them as
they fall from the lips of speakers,
1 but unless these ideas find a lodg
. ment in our minds, and thus a
study of them is brought about,
they will never be of any real ben
efit to us.
All parents desire the success of
their children but they never
the subject enough thought and
study to arouse them to a full
sense of how much of the elements
of success can be put into a child
during its gicwth. Heretofore
psychological studies have been
considered of importance only to
teachers, and but few of them,
even, have given the subject any
consideration. It will not be so
always.
As “the noblest study of man
kind is man,” the most important
part of education is the revealing
of a man unto himself. The pa
rents have left themselves entirely
out of the education of their chil
dren aud turned them over to the
teacher. They see no education in
anything except what their chil
dren get out of the schoolroom;
and the teacher (average annual
salary in Georgia about $150) nev
er gets above text book, and often
not up to it. We get only a part
of our education from the school
room. We draw on the home, the
streets, the Sunday schools, the
churches and many other things
for our education. In fact, as we
have before stated, everything that
we see, feel, taste, hear and smell
enters into our education.
Could parents but fully realize
, what this means they would be
, better prepared for the training
. and education of their children.
} Our schools will never truly edu
cate, nor indeed can they, until
, the parents realize that they them
selves are an important factor in
this work. The home life of our
children has ever been, and will
• ever continue to be, the mightiest
factor in developing their charac-
, ters and shaping their destinies.
1 No schoolroom can take the place
• of the home; no state the place of
■ parents. We generally get the
education that fixes our character
• during the first seven years of our
lives, and this period is spent at
t home with our parents. Hence

In Memoriain.
Last Sunday morning dawned
sombre and gray. Dully and stead
ily tffe clouds relived them of
their sodden weight ahd beat a sad
requiem as Mother earth recitved
back to her cold bosom a < a ighter
whose beautiful spirit heaven de
sired to possess and so at the voice
of God, she quietly drew the drap
eries of her couch about her and
parted with nature so gently that,
seemingly smiling in dreams that
presaged joy the soul sought that
bourn, “Where lulled to slumber,
Grief forgets to mourn.” We
could not by empty words of praise
add graces to the character of our
friend Mrs. R. M. Dowdell; the in
fluence of her life told all that
human phrase could speak. She
was Miss Alice Jones of Chattooga
Co. and when in the full beauty and
bloom of young womanhood she
was led to the altar by Mr. R. M.
Dowdell a promising young drug
gist of this city and nephew of the
late Dr. R. V. Mitchell, it was said
by all that he was a fortunate
man indeed. Nobly during these
years has she sustained her vows
to be a true and loyal wife, no man
than her husband was ever more
blessed with wifely devotion and
in the theft of her, death has des
poiled him of a priceless possession
leaving him poor indeed. One
consolation however is left him in
the only child of their union Annie
a fair bud just expanding.
Twas on Saturday morning at
half past nine that Mrs. Dowdell
surrounded by weeping loved ones
bade adieu to earthly ties and
greeted the eternal morn. Just
the evening before her physician
Dr. Kendrick called, to find her
perfectly rational. Looking at
him she said, ‘Dr are you going
to put me to sleep again?” I
think not,” was the reply. “Why
do you ask?” “Because she said
before you do I want to talk to
Annie.” And when Annie came to
her she said in calm sweet tones.
“Annie, I’m going to leave you,
I’m going to a beautiful home that
I have prayed to go to for throe
weeks. I leave you with your
papa.”
Her triumphant death was a
great comgort to the aged parents
and the members of the family
gathered about her.
Once she said, “I would love to
stay with you all, but I must go,”
and almost the last words were,
■ “Let me go, but lead me gently,”
■ aud at the funera' which occurred
Sunday morning at half past ele
ven at Cartersville from the resi
dence of Mrs. Sim Munford, the
hymn, Lead me gently, with others
sweet and appropriate were most
touchingly rendered by the Metho
dist choir. To the husband and
daughter even though their hearts
be torn with grief, the peaceful
death, and the picture of the sleep
er, for such she seemed with yet
no mark of death to destroy her
beauty, must ever be a sweetly
solemn thought around which will
cluster many consoling memories.
A character like hers needs no
monument whiter than her own
fair life shining with many virtues
no .-wore enduring than the love of
hearts that she bound close to her
nor higher than the Heaven which
she has attained.
Besides the husband and daugh
ter, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.
\\. Jones, Lyerly, the sisters, Mrs.
Mary Starling, Lyerly, Mrs. J. F
Wardlaw, Rome, Mrs. J. S. Cleg
horn, Summerville, Mrs. S. L.
Munford, Cartersville, and two
brothers, Messrs T . R . Jones. Car
tersville, R. C Jones, Sandersville,
survive her and niturn their great
loss.
