A. Preacher’s Institute.
At a recent meeting at the Bap
tist church the interesting an
nouncement was made that an In
stitute for preachers would beheld
here a few days preceding the third
Sunday in July. Such a meeting
is by no means new in the history
of church work but it is new to
this part of the country, this being
the first ever conducted in this part
of the state. Its object is to pro
mote Bible study and to afford an
opportunity for a valuable ex
change of opinion on the methods
of Bible study and teaching. As
will be readily seen, it is on much
the same plan of the prac
tical and helpful line of a teacher's
institute. It will be composed of
the Baptist ministers of Chattooga
and Walker counties. Rev. D, B.
Ragsdale, of Conyers, will conduct
it. He is a vejy eminent man hav
ing recently served as secretary of
the Southern Baptist Convention,
and was also elected to fill the Bi
ble chair ot Mercer University.
Rev. Dr. Headden, of Rome, and
a number of other prominent min
isters will lend’ added interest to
the institute by their presence.
The ent ire arrangements have
not been perfected yet. The pro
gram in full will be printed so soon
as the committee arrangemes it,
Misses Alice Parks and Allie
Armstrong of Rome, are the 1
charming guests of the Misses
Penn.
Ordinary Mattox requests the J
News to say that one volume of the
new civil code has been received at
his office and is ready for distribu
tion. The j. P's and N P's will
please call or send and get them.

A good raiu fell in Somerville and
vicinitv last Monday evening after a
* * ~ I
protracted drouth of over six weeks
duration. The rain seemed to be gen
eral throughout the county and crops
are greatly revived although there is
not nearly 'enough moisture in the
ground yet to insure a good crop.
The intense heat of the last few days
has been very severe and growing
vegetation lias suffered greatly; but
it is hoped the crisis is past and
that rains will be abundant in future.
TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.
An Interesting Meeting Being
Held This Week.
Monday morning the Teachers’
Institute convened at the court
house with quite a large number
of teachers in attendance and a
tew visitors. The session opened
with prayer by Rev. J. G. Hunt.
Prof. Ransom, who is the efficient
expert for this year's institute, de
livered a very fine opening address.
It was replete with thought and
contained much of helpful sugges-i
lion about the importance of the I
work of teaching. In speaking es
pecially to the young men just
starting in the work he touched
strongly upon the importance of
their not going into it merely for
the money in it, or regarding it as
a stepping stone to something
else, thus detracting from the dig
nity of the work. Character
building, he explained, was the
most important mission possible
to be engaged upon and nothing
should be allowed to interfere with
this high ideal in the teacher’s
mind. A sense of humor pervaded
some of his remarks made espec
ially to the young women teachers.
Be advised them among other
things, not to give up their S4O
positions as teachers to marry
$2.00 men. The address through
oit was thoroughly practical and
interesting, and opened very au
spiciously the exercises.
Mr. J. A. Brunner, member of
the Board of Education, read the
syllabus for the week’s proceedings
of the institute, after which the
colored teachers retired to a sepa
rate room to conduct their part
of the institute.
The first branch of education
discussed was penmanship. Prof.
Bennefield, Miss Mary Hemphill,
Mrs. Julia Gordon and several
others were appointed to discuss
this subject and explain their own
methods before the assembly. Mr.
Bennefield led the discussion with
a very interesting talk on the prin
ciples of penmanship. He illus
trated his remarks with blackboard
exercises which demonstrated very
fully that he was a most facile
master of the pen.
Miss Hemphill in developing her
system of teaching writing brought
out the kindergarten idea of teach
ing by object lessons. In asking
questions of the teachers to illus
trate her methods with pupils, she
and Prof. Etheridge had a little
conflict of ideas which provoked
much laughter from the assembly.
Miss Hemphill brought out her
ideas very lucidly and impressed
every one with her earnestness and
sincere interest in her work. After
this most interesting discussion
adjournment was in order and the
institute broke up until afternoon
session at 2 o’clock.
Monday afternoon the exercisee
were resumed the subject being
Theory and practice of Teaching
conducted by Prof. J. W. McWhor
ter, assisted by Mrs. Julia Gordon,
and Misses Mary Hemphill and
Sallie Allen.
Prof. McWhorter’s address was
timely, and very suggestive of the
importance of a proper realization
ci the responsibilities that necces
scrly devolve upon the teachers of
our public schools. In this con
necting he impressed very ‘strong
ly upon his hearers the importance
o'’ developing and cultivating the
moral character of the pupils, aud
restraining their evil tendencies as
far as possible.
Miss Hemphill followed in a
short talk, giving her ideas of the
best methods to be employed in
opening and conducting a new
school.
Mrs. Julia Gordon spoke a few
minutes very entertainingly on the
importance of self control on the
part of the teachers.
“System in the school room”
was discussed by Miss Annie Mal
lett. “The disorderly teacher” was
talked of by Prof Etheridge, who
said that “a disorderly teacher was
a man out of order” which produc
ed some merriment. He then pro
ceeded to elaborate and discuss the
question upon its merits in a very’
entertaining manner. In his talk
Prof Ethetidge made the statement 1
Cures
“ Cures talk ”in favor B I
of Hood's Sarsaparilla, ■ I
as for no other medi- ■
cine. Its great cures recorded in truthful,
convincing language of grateful men and
women, constitute its most effective ad
vertising. Many of these cures are mar
velous. They have won the confidence of
the people; have given Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla the largest sales in the world, and
have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is known by the cures it has
made cures of scrofula, salt rheum and
eczema, cures of rheumatism, neuralgia

that self reliance on the part of the
pupil was one of the most impor
tant lessons of all for any one to
learn, and that it was the duty of
the teachers, in large part, to see
that those they were teaching were
made to appreciate the value of
self dependence and self reliance
in the problems that came un in
the school room, thus fitting them
for the graver problems tha tcome
later in life.
“Mind study” was discussed by
Prof. McWhorter as being helpful
in the control and proper manage
ment of children, and urged that
this feature was worthy the care
ful thought of all who undertook
to teach.
Paul Etheridge made a short
talk on “Rules in School” and
thought they ought to be varied to
suit different conditions and local
ities, and that they ought to be
left to the good judgement and dis
cretion of the teacher.
The teachers in attendance this
week are: Professors W. m. Ran
som, H. C. Etheridge, Paul Ether
idge, C. C. Bennefield, J. W. Mc-
Whorter, D.C. Greeson, J. R.
Wyatt, W. H Atkins, J. C. King,
W. m. Smith, J. m. Lowry, G. W.

It has been impossible to give in
this issue more than a meagre out
line of the work of the Institute,
because the forms are closed Tues
day evening, and for the further
reason that the more important
questions before the Institute are
to be discussed the last three days
of the session. We hope to give a
fuller account next week of the
matters discussed and also the con
clusions reached by the teachers in
reference to the question of unifor
ity of text books for the schools.
Bible Institute.
There will be a Bible Institute
conducted by Dr. B. D, Ragsdale
and others at the Baptist church
in Summerville, commencing July
19.
Dr. Ragsdale is the secretary of
the Baptist State Convention and
also is appointed by the State
Board of Missions to hold Insti
tutes in Georgia. He is one of
our best aud strongest men, well
qualified, both by experience and
tact for this special work, and has
had great success in Institute
work.
We want all who are sufficiently
interested as to desire a mop in
telligent conception of the teach
ings of God’s word to be with us—
especially do we solicit the attend
ance of all Baptist preachers. The
brethren will entertain all who
may attend.
Now, brethren let us make this
Institute a success and by doing
so we will all be benefited.

The Nashville Reunion.
The veterans who attended the i
Nashville reunion from this place 1
returned Thursday and Friday,
except Capt. Cleghorn who re
mained over to be present at
“Ge rgia day,” when Governor
Atkinson and Georgia's military
were present and made a grand
parade. Capt Cleghorn, and in
fact everyone we have seen, report
the meeting of the veterans one of
the best ever held. They say the
hospitality of the Tennesseeans
was generous and unbounded.
The veterans were cared for in a
most hospitable manner and in
splendid style, and it is the uni
versal opinion that it was the
most successful meeting of the old
soldiers ever held. Capt. Cleghorn
tells a good story on Dr. Rudicil
and Capt. C. D. Hill, of Trion,
both of whom have been unwell,
and who declared they were unable
to march in the parade. But when
the lines were formed once more
’ from the remnants of the “broken
battalions” of Lee and Jack son and
Johnson —when the soldierly fig
’ ure of Gordon —the chevalier Bay
ard of the south —passed up and
down the lines and the o’d rebel
yell resounded once more on the
breeze, these two forgot their phy
' sical infirmities and responded
promptly to the order “fall in,”
and they marched and they march-
I ed, and when last seen were still
marching bravely with the best of
them.
These are memories that will
• never die. There are bonds of
: sympathy between these men who
wore the grey that are unknown
to others. What was an almost
invincible army in the dark days
I of ’6l to ’65, is now but a thin
> skirmish line of grizzled and gray
. veterans ; and each year when the
? roll is called at these annual re
unions, there are many who fail
to answer.
In this connection we desire to
i c all attention to the splendid ad
dress of Gen. Gordon printed in
another part of this issue.
