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.

Folks Items. REPORTED BY WILD BOSE. Most of our farmers are busy planting corn this week. Mr. R. T. JCennedy. of Poulan, Ga., who gladdens the hearts of the ladies by making their old sewing machines do as good work as new ones, has been in our community for several days. He is stop- ping at Mr. J. T, Stewarts. Mr. Benajah Bass, one of Randolph’s most prosperous farmers, visited his niece, Mrs. Ida Braswell, last Saturday. Mr. J. T. Stewart and wife visited rel- atives in Randolph last Sunday. Mrs. R. E. McDaniel has been very sick with fever during the past week but ; g m ucli better at this writing, Mrs. A. D. Sellars spent last week with friends in Morgan. John Johnson, from Bethlehem, spent last Sunday with his uncle, Mr. S. Paul.

Wo take pleausure in giving this notice—that the County School Com¬ missioner will give a free scholarship to any 'industrious, studious boy of this county who desires a good edu¬ cation in that first-class school, the North Georgia Agricultural College, at Dahlonega. One Minute is all the time necessary to decide from personal experience that One Minute Cough Cure does what Its name implies. S. T. Clayton, Morgan; I*. T Leary: Henry Turner, Edism 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 : PROGRAMME— Opening exercise. Roll call by secretary and responses by quotations from some favorite authors. Reading continued—by J. 8. Ed¬ wards, Arithmetic as we find it in the com¬ mon schools—by W. M. Pettis. Biographical subject—David P. Page— when born—early life—bis work as a teacher—discussion of his method. Recess at suitable hour for dinner. Round Table exercise by all teachers present.
