A trip to many sections of the county will convince any one that there is not a more hospitable people in in Georgia than are to be found Lincoln county. This same people do, are genteel, charitable, well-to and accommodating. No one can fail to feel at home with them. An inspection of the school houses will be a convincing proof to all reasonable minds that these same people do not appreciate the facil¬ ities for educating their children as they should. There are few school rooms (not more than three), which are ceiled. These houses are com¬ fortable neither in winter or summer. Schools cannot be successful taught in such houses. Who are to build these, houses? Who are to make them better? W hen are they to be. remodeled? Who will begin? will If ask the people are to do this, who them to begin? The county board of education has some part in this. What do they think of the idea? Time for reformation in school matters in Lincoln county has come. A Friend of Education. IN MEMORIAM.

Frog Pofid will soon need an elec¬ tric light to guide the pedestrians upon her streets and sidewaJke, as there is to be a new dwelling erected here and also a public shop, whidi will be run in the interest, of the surrounding country. Then we will have: Covin’s town, Cox’s street; Bachelor’s hotel, with nothing to eat. It is a fact that this is going to be a town, for when people begin to visit a place like this in two-horse wagons you may put it down that that place is on the build up. Mr. John Gumby came to town last Sat¬ urday in a two-horse wagon and bought ten cents worth of nails and a nickel’s worth of candy. Don’t you see? Mr. T. B. Hogan passed through town last Saturday afternoon with a buggy load of goats. If you had been off a piece and heard the noise you would have thought that little girl of T. B.’s an awful squalling baby. You reckon “Hoosier” spied an office-holder behind that name “Civis” sucking t bat teat? He talked mighty like it, and I ’speck so too.

Louisville, Ky., Feb. 12.—The Seminary still “lives and moves and lias‘its being,” notwithstanding the recent contention and disseution in regard to its management. The en¬ rollment has already reached three hundred, Prof. " WhittsitPs big so turkey dinner will be the next thing in order. Since the arrival of IV. A. Hogan, Lincoln county, and J. W.

During the term ot 1895-6 some¬ thing over three hundred students than in any previous Last year the list fell to two hundred and ninety-two, which num¬ ber had n -ver been exceeded except during the preceding year. The pro¬ babilities now are that this year will be a “record-breaker.” The intermediate examinations have, just closed, and everything is moving a long nicely. To give you some idea of the great depth of interest fell in the Seminary and in each individual student by the teachers, I shall relate a little incident that occurred during the recent examinations: One of the unchangeable laws of the inst : tution is that unpardonable cheating in examinations is an offence, which, if proved, will expel the guilty person forever, with Kentucky no possibi.itv of return¬ ing. A brother, feeling somewhat doubtful of passing the examination successfully, took some manuscrips into the room with his blank paper. The fact was soon discovered, the siudent was imme¬ diately ushered out, the faculty called together, and an investigation begun. The student diu not attempt a denial, but readily confessed; where¬ upon the faculty, some of them aged men, burst into tears and wept like (children. The poor brother packed his trunk next day and bade us farewell! Such instances as this are stldoin known here. Our coldest day to date registered seveij degrees above zero.
