Springs propose to give a grand Ball and

Of the Institutc Library. There will no

sum Of money for the noble cause to
which it will be applied.
Parties in search Of hcalth::and recreation
we think can find no better or more lovely
place to visit than Tate's Springs. There
you will find a table spread with all the
luxuries that the country affords, the finest
water in the State to drink, and by climb
ing the mountains in the rear of the
Springs the most magnificent scenery.
The proprietors. Dir. Ed. and Miss Har-
riet Tate, are constantly looking after the
wants Of their guests, and use every
means possible for their comfort and pleas
ure. We hope they may long live to do
good to suffering humanity.

The State is doing comparatively noth-
ing to promote the cause of education
within her borders. Her school system
exists only on the statute. The system
has machinery enough, but the want of
propeliing force, cis propulsa. renders
it almost imperative. While other States
are employing the best talent and ex-
pending vast sums of money to perfect
their school systems, Tennessee is per-
hitting the education of the masses to go
by default. Of the vast army of children,
400 600. enough to people half a score
of Territories in. the Great West, only a
comparative small number can be edu-
Gated under the present system. The
energies of the State are ;p~aralyzed, the
agricultural, mechanical, and, in fact, all
the industrial interests are suffering for
the want of an efficient school system.
The State cannot pursue a more fatal
policy. Ignorance is the worst enemy
against which she has to contend. 1t is
more dangerous than an invading enemy.
We see its work in jails, in penitentiaries,
in criminal courts. and in high taxes

A Serious ARRAY.

We are reliably informed that quite a
serious affray took place, on Tuesday
evening last, about four miles south east
of Union Depot, in which two persons
have been seriously, if not fatally injured.
1t seems that an escaped convict, from
the Pcuitentiary, had been harbored By a
widow by the name of Patsey
Colbox, and that the officers having been
informed of bis being there. went for the
purpose of arresting him, when Mrs:
Celbox denied such u person being on her
premises a NANNY name of Floyd said
that se had seen him there whcrcupon a
dispute arose and Floyd knocked Mrs.
Colbox down. seriously i%njuring her; a

and, also, shared a worse fate by being
knocked down and her skull fractured, by

THE SCHOOLS.

Judging from present indications, the
schools of the county are likely to open
outquite en~couragingly. Every friend of
education must feel gratifed at the pro-
gress made last year. The schools are
becoming more and more interesting
Better teachers are going into them. The
people themselves are waking up to the
importance of educating their children.
This is all principally owing to the aid re-
ceived from the Peabody Fund.
We now have a small tax, one and one
half mill on the dollar, in addition to the
county and State poll tax. BY judicious
management of this fund the schools can
be materially improved during the COM
ing YEAR. Indeed, there is much room
for improvement. 1.-THE school Commits
s~ioners, teachers and friends of the cause
will go to work earnestly, we may hope
to make progress in the future.

OUR NECESSITIES.

We do not need schools for the few SO
much as we need education for the many.
The laboring classes have been too much
neglected. Spelling. and reading, and
writing, and arithmetic constitute the ed
ucation of a large majority of the CON-
mon people. These branches should be
taught thoroughly, for upon them rests
the whole s~uperstructure of education.
IF these are poorly understood. the educa-
ton of the child must always be defective.
We greatly desire that every body should
nave the advantages of a classical. scien-
tifc. and if possible an agricultural edu-
cation. Many, however, viii never have
the opportunity to attend the higher
schools, even if they desired to do so.
The elementary branches should therefore
receive special attention, and if nothing
more can be given the children. they will
be able to write and speak f~uently in their
mother tongue. If the present genera
ton had such an education it would be a
thousand times better of han we ever
expect to see it.
