He Was Right.
About fife years ago Mr. Eugene P.
Parkins erected a small plant on his fath¬
er’s magnificent homo place, just north
of Dickey, and began a machine shop for
the repairing of engines, boilers, etc.
Mr. Parkins left the Western and At¬
lantic shops at Atlanta, where he served
his time, a finished machinist, and decided
to go into business for himself. Almost
every one said it was a foolish move oil
Gene’s part to locate at Diclcey, so far off
the railroad, but Mr. Parkins kept on in
even tenor of his way, and to-day ho is
successfully running almost night and day
the largest and best equipped plant of the
kind south of Macon.
Having heard so much of Parkin’s
machine shops I thought an inspection
wonidn’t hur, so, in company with Mr.
Robert Colson, our clever machine agent,
drove out and celled on the 'boss machin¬
ist'’ of South Georgia.
I found the genial gentleman “cleaning
up- f 0l - a tug run, but When he found out
that a printer was after him ho gave me
a hearty shake „ f the hand and said: “Cor-
; taihly, I will let you inspect my plant, but
161 mc mc ’ p aml stait . . (h lhQ
ma ‘
chlncr U” Iu a short time every wheel
was turning, and the 16-horse power en-
gine, built with his own hands, W 7 as run¬
ning as smooth as a sewing machine.
In these shops will be found all modern
tools, and Mr. Parkins'is prepared to do
any kind of repair work from the lightest
to the heaviest, or can give you new work
if wanted. It is useless for me to try to
j give a full description of all tools and ma¬
chinery used in this plant, and will only
8ay that Eugene Parkins is prepared to
q 0 all y hind of work in his line. Ho is
putting in some new machinery for the
heavy £aU businets, and I will let you
hear from mo again, f<jr I certainly enjoy
looking at machinery afid talking about it.
I mot Mrs. Parkins, who invited us in
m ono 0 j j.; le ’ 0PS £ dinners I ever ate. She
j s a Washingtod, B. C. gtri, which fact
guarantees her a clover and industrious
woman and a true companion,
New, Mr. Editor, this isn’t a sensation-
a£ write-up. All 1 have said about Gene
Parkins’ magnificent plant are but facts,
and j£ you don . fc believe it, just carry
y 0Ui , 0 j ( j press out to him and he will
make it as good as new at reasonable fig¬
ures. Look for me again, Gone.
Yours to serve,
Fitzdoodle.

The Institute.
The first Saturday in each month is
the day fixed for the meeting of the
teachers of Calhoun.
On Saturday, Feb, 27th, they met and
organized. Last Saturday the body
came together as an organization.
At 11 o’clock President Edwards call¬
ed the meeting to order, and the exer¬
cises were begun with an impressive
prayer by Prof. W. S. Short.
Owing to sickness Prof. F. McCul¬
lough and Miss Eula Kagan could not
attend.
Prof. Fitzpatrick and Mrs. Rice were
accompanied by a delegation from their
schools.
At roll call each teacher responded
with a quotation from their favorite
author.
The morning session passed off very
pleasantly, after which several of the
teachers dined at the Thornton House.
During the Round Table exercises in
the afternoon this question was asked:
“How maDy nations have controlled
Florida?” This brought up a discus¬
sion, but a satisfactory answer was not
given. For the benefit of the teachers
and their scholars the Monitor gives the
follow ing correct answer :
“Florida was by right of discovery and
settlement a possession of Spain from
about 1565 until 1763 when it was cedod
to Great Britain for Havana, which was
captured by Albermarle, an Englishman.
Great Britain held possession of Florida
about twenty years when she ceded her
back to Spain, from whose hands she
passed into those of the United States in
1819. So Florida was owned first by
Spain, and then Great Britain and the
United States.”
Following is the programme for the
next meeting of the Institute, and every
teacher should be present if possible :

Roll call by secretary and responses
by quotations from some favorite
authors.
