and make cotton the surples crop.
The supreme court of Tennessee
has just decided that a lawyer has
the right to shed tears before a ju

If you want to get acquainted
with human nature edit a
newspaper for a short while. You
know nothing of the ups and
downs of life until you have serv
ed in that capacity. You may
have preached, swapped horses,
conducted a bank, sold goods, prac
ticed law, sawed wood or operated
a pop-corn factory, but you need
but a few months of experience as
the editor of a country newspaper

eccentricities of life.—Marietta

Educational Notes,
It matters not how much our state
may do for the education of onr child
ren, it can never release us from our
responsibility, in the sight of God, for
what those children’s lives shall be.
When our parents become deeply
concerned in the education and lives of
their children, then they will become
deeply concerned as to the qualifica
tions of the teacher who shall instruct
them in tke school room.
Our children are to be the heroes of
earth, the knights of civilization, the
champions of humanity, the children
of God. A mission grand, magnificent,
sublime. Father! Mother! This mis
sion is possible to our children. Are
we throttling their powers, and denying
them the needed opportunities? If so,
shame on us.
The offices of parent and teacher are,
iq reality, so close together that they
are complements of each other, yet it
is a fact, lamentable as it may be, that
they are often farapart, jealous of each
other’s powers and suggestions. This
is not right.
In our opinion one of the most im
portant qualifications of a teacher is a
regenerated heart. To lead children
aright we must ourselves be led by the
spirit of God.
Teacher, think over the following
questions:
Is mind matter or spirit? Why?
Is sleep bodily or mental action?
What is forgetfulness?
What are the first indications of
mind?
What are the senses? Is the mind
dependent upon them?
Will some teacher answer one or all
he above questions through the News.
J. W. McWhorter.
Notice to Teachers.
All the teachers are requested to send
in their First Quarterly Reports not
later than the sth of April, All reports
should be in by that time. If any
teacher fails to get in his or her report
later than the above dale the Board
can’t pay that teacher before the 2nd
Quarter. I ask you all to be prompt
and cause no unnecessary delay. I
have tried to get blanks to all the teach
ers for making your reports. If any
have failed to get them call at my of
fice for them or write me at once and
I will forward them to you.

In the late missing word con
test of the Weekly Constitution
1976 answers were sent in. The
amount received by the lucky
guessers was 85 oents for each cor
rect guess. The missing word was
“linked,” and a number of persons
in Chattooga county hit it right,
even if they didn’t strike it rich.
The next contest is based on this
sentence: “The right of
is the very essence of the Constitu
tion.” SI,OOO will be divided a
mong the lucky guessers.
It is stated on what seems to be
good authority that the Chattanoo

seems that the purchasers at the

the United States court at Atlanta
asking that the mandate of the
court be complied with; or the
road be again sold;

Consumption
Out-door life and Scott’s
Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites have cured
thousands of cases of consump
tion in the early stages. They
cure old, advanced cases too;
but not so many, nor so prompt
ly. When a case is so far ad
vanced that a cure cannot be
made, even then SCOTT'S
EMULSION checks the rapid
ity of the disease, relieves the
pains in the chest, reduces Ihe
night sweats, and makes the
cough easier. In these cases it
comforts and prolongs life.
Don’t experiment with cures
that destroy the digestion. Pin
your faith to the one remedy
which has been THE STAN
dard for Over 20 Years.
Book about it free for the asking.
For sale by all druggists at 50c. and

SCOTT A BOWNE, New York.
On the Move.
As I went out for a walk last msbt
I met with a most unusual sight.
I was wandering out about Piedmont
' park.
There being few lights it was terribly
dark;
But all of a sudden what, should I see
But a queer creature making direct for
me,
He earned a lantern as red as blood
And his feet made forked tracks in the
mud.
His face was lather inclined to bloat
And he had long horns sorter like a
ram goat,
The look in his eyes boded evil and
harm
And he carried a pitchfork under his
arm;
His fingers looked like a pair of steel
rakes
And his hair it stood up like a bundle
of snakes;
His jacket was red and his bloomers
were blue
With a hole in the rear where his tail
came through!
I saw he was frightened and as he drew
nigher
He blew from his nostrils a hatful of
fire.
Just then he spied me and came to a
pause
And stood there scraping the mud.from
his claws.
“Young man,” quoth he, ’twixt a sigh
and a sob,
“I’m a friendless creature and out of
a job,
It is always the same with a fellow
that’s down,
Can you tell me me the way to Boston
town?
“Sam Jones has called me a fool to my
face
And kicked and cuffed me out of my
place,
So back to the City of Beans I must
fare,
For I own some suburban property
there.
I own a valuable brimstone mine
Just half a mile from the corporate line.
But I must move on to escape with
whole bones
From the wrath of that terrible fellow,
Sam Jones!

“ Merit talks” the MBB ■ ■
intrinsic value of H I
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. ■ I
Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and take it according*
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit?
Tim power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. It will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.
Heed's
Sarsaparilla
Is the best, in fact—the One True Blood Purifier.
