The annual teacher’s institute for Atkinson county is in session this week. 11 is in charge of State Supervisor of Schools, 1. S. Smith, of Reidsville, Tattnall-county. Prof. Smith, as the Tribune has before stated, was born and reared in the Mud Creek district of Clinch county, lie is one of the many lawyers which that district has sent out to assist in holding the “scales of justice” at a balance. Col. Smith located at Reidsville in the practice of his chosen pro fession. However, he came to the conclusion that his talent could be more satisfactorily employed along educational lines and so he captur ed the place of county school superintendent of Tattnall county, He filled the position so efficiently that it became a matter of state wide repute and, on the death of Miss Celeste Parrish, he was called to succeed her as State Supervisor. Prof. Smith is accompanied to Atkinson county by two ladies — banks and Thompson. Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day were devoted in visiting the the rural schools of the county ami noting the general conditions that prevail—the character of the school houses, the condition of the pre mises and the general environment; they will scrutinize the ability of work being done. Thursday, Friday and Saturday all of the teachers of the county will come to Pearson to complete the week’s session of Atkinson county’s first annual teacher’s in stitute. The meetings are being held in the auditorium of Pearson High School. The Tribune welcomes these special educators to Pearson and Atkinson county, and hopes they will find in the educational pro gram of Atkinson county much to commend and very little to con demn. The County Board of Education is doing their very level best, with the means at their command, to press forward, upward and onward in the education of the children of the county. A most unfortunate accident oc curred at I lie home of Mr. Earl A § Clement last Sunday morning. I [is oldest son went to the lot to bridle a mule; in an unguarded moment the mule kicked the boy, eleven or tw r elve years of age, a glancing blow on the right side of his face, crushing his jaw bone and knocking out four teeth. Drs. Cjprbitt and Malone were called to imnister to him. They think the young man will come around all right, but his face will be disfigur ed. Dr. Malone says his jaw bone will knit together, but he will be minus teeth on that side of his mouth, unless a bridge can be ar ranged. The victim’s mouth is swollen and very sore; he can’t eat anything solid, only soup or liquids by means of a quill. Judging from reports from Ma nor there is likely to be a shake up in the postal circles of that vil lage. There is no charges of crimi nality,only a condition of careless ness that is calculated to lead to trouble. The postmaster, Mr. Cor nelius, since his appointment has removed without the jurisdiction of the postoffice and left it in charge of a clerk. The opinion is being expressed that a resigna tion is in order. Some of the citizens of Axson are interested in intrumental mu sic and it is probable a class will be taught there this fall and win ter. It is a great accomplishment to know how to perform well on any instrument. The Tribune is pleased to learn that Col. John H. Williams has so fqr recovered hjs health that fie is able to return to the practice of law r . John is courteous and clever and deserves success. The Tribune is informed that workmen are engaged in tearing down the Catholic church at Willa coochee. Didn't learn why. SEE THE BIG SHOW GEORGIA-PLORIDA FAIR Valdosta, November 3,4, 5,6, 7 and 8.

First he put out a seuppernong grape vine in his garden on the hotel lot and went to great expense in preparing an arbor for it to ex pand and grow to great size; but, to his disgust, his vine has been nearly destroyed by eatterpillars. He wants to know how to get rid of the pests. Second, he planted several long rows of butter beans, expecting a great harvest of beans. 'Fhe vines grew rapidly and richly. He went to considerable expense in preparing the trellises for them to run on. lie was delighted with the outlook but, to his great dis appointment a bug, the like of which this editor has never seen before, made his appearance on the vines and has practically destroyed his crop of beans. He is seeking for knowledge as how to get rid of this beetle or bug. The beetle stiugs the bean pods, just as the weevil does tne cottpn boll, and the pod soon wilts and falls off the vine. A Mr. Martin, of Surrency, spent the week end at Kirkland, Ga., guest of his daughter, Mrs. Carter, the wife of the woodsman, or weeds rider, for the turpentine place there. Judge T.
