My rates of tuition, for all grades of studies, are one ($1.00) dollar per m nth. I desire to say, further, that there will be no participation in Public Fund by any child or children who may enter said school or any other school that may be taught, m tht city f North Rome, during the Fall term of scholastic year ending Dec., 81st, 1895. The reason for this, is that a Public school, of 5 mont .s dura tion, has been contracted for. by Board of Education, and said school has been taught and re ports in full have been sent in. There can be but one final report, from each school in the county, and those who have neglected to send during Public Term have lost their right to participate in the Public Fund. The above informa tion, in regard to Public Sebool Fund, was given me by Commis sioner Bridges, as the action of the 1 Board o Education ; and I give it to my friends, so that they’ may I understan I the situation and gov- j ern themselves accordingly, Hoping that many will take ad- j vantag of my low rates of tuiiou and that I will meet a goodly i number at the Academy on the j above named date, I sign myself i Yours for business, Chas.

A KOMMUNICATION From a Rome Moiorman- “The Boys” all Nicknamed Mr. Editor: I have teen some thing in your columns from every i other class of people from the C. E. C. Co., boys. Therefore, I will cry to say a few words in their behalf, although I have been out of •uicietv so 1 ng I hardly know what t« say. But we are generally just in front, of society and we see a lot, think a heap and say but little. We are the the first out and the last in ; first to create a noise on the streets and the last to get quiet at night; we are the only’ ones that , keep up with both ends of the city; we are the only ones that pass , through the centre of the city ev ery t wenty minutes, (from 6, a. m, till 10, p m.) that is if the car stays on the track and the current or the wire. No longer than last Sunday the boys all met at the car shed in trim, expecting to do a regular Sunday business, and one of the most scientific motormen in the lot started out second with his mustache twisted every way for Sunday, his head up with his high standing collar and spike tailed coat. Just about time that ‘‘sharp tai ” got in position as if pointirg it the rtsing sun, the car left the track. Before i' was on he forgot his Sunday school lesson, so the long spike tail was laid aside until , the morning dews had dried away But later in the day he thought everything was so calm and serene he certainly could take on 'he fash ionable coat again, but about, the first trip off went, the ca- and he poked as if he thought that was no c ar boy’s cot no way. Some right funny things happen ot* the line; we have all sorts of boys and I reckon that is right for wr have all sorts of passengers to i handle and we try to be always r ady to accommodate all that conns, especial y if they have a nic le. A pair of our car boys went or at least started to Atlanta on the h ttorn depk of a coal ear to take •l position on the Electric oars there j but. I see they have returned- I dq.i’t know tlu T ki,,ed 11 calf or knocked down a lump-lost or j:WSf‘ d to ‘ cturu I quick, but I guess they thougl k ! best not to go s o work un'U their ; i pay would Start ami I imagih they I were not r»‘i.

We are right smart like boys at school, we have nick names, for most of our boys we have “old pap’’ ‘‘young pap’’ “big pap’’and “little pap” and other names b o tedious to mention. When the b ys get two lazy or careless to watch the trolly or reach the register cord, instead of making him stand upon the floor or stay in at recess or take a lick ing, our boss just makes them stop riding, which is as gieat a punish ment for them as it is for Dark town citizens to work on the streets and they go up and promise to do be ter audlook sorry and our boss man takes pity on them and puts them to riding a aim One word for our General Mana ger, Mr. J. B Marvin, and I am d me, he is sorter on the mortor mm stile. He is a man that don't 1 say much but he is a good thinker and is one of the best men that has ever been on the line. All of the boys like him and the more they know of him the better they like him. He is one of these broa I gagued. high toned, honorably t Strickly business gentleman. Mortorman.

Washington, Penn., Sept. 10. — Mrs. Johnston McKane, wife of a Ft. Wayne brakeman, who resides near here, captured a burglar last evening in a most heroic manner. She had been out driving and re turning home found the fellow se creted behind the cellar door with his coat over his head The wooden bar of the door had been broken and she seized this and drove the fellow from the house. She then ran upstairs, and, securing her husband’s revolver, fired two shots at the man. None of them took effect, however, for he continued on down the road. Mrs, Mckane jumped into the road cart and followed him. When she reached the burglar she leveled the revolver at him and compelled him to walk in front of the horse into town, where he was placed in jail, Mrs. McKane is 25 years ot age, and her two small children were with her at the time the affair oc curred. She said she did not feel any fear when she found the man behind the door. At the Jus'ice’s office the mail confessed his guilt and complimented the woman on her display of bravery.

' Calumet, Mich., September 10. —Ten miners went down the Southernmost shaft of the Osceola mine this morning. Fhe men were especially selected among the fear less and experienc d workmen habituated to breathing smoke and foul air. 1 he party descended in the.skip, or iron car, used in bringing up rock from the mine to the twcuty fourth level and managed to press North on tha* level to within 250 feet of the shaft next South of tho burning cne. At that point two of the party were overcome by the gas and to save adding fresh victims to the already long list, tbe relief expe dition turned I ack . In No. 1 shaft, at the other end of the mine, a similar attempt was made by a carefully organiz ’d par tysimilar to the first, but ut a depth of only 280 feet down the shaft, smoke was met in such vol ume that it was foolhardy to de scend further and the miners quickly’ came to the surface. The experience of the rescunig part ies in Nos. 1 and 5, where the smoke would naturally he met with in the least quantities, ren ders it certain that th'*entire mine is now filled with it and cuts oil the last hope that the missing men may have been able to preserve their lives. Rescueiug parties will be sent down as frequently as possible to test the condition. It will proba bly be several days before the mine will be clear of smoke, even if the fire has gone out, which is quite doubtful. It is now positively known that twenty-nine men and boys were caught in Hie mine. Nineteen of the men were married.
