DRUNKENNESS ON SATURDAY.
Hen and Women Gu the Streets
RcastIy nte xic2tcd.

The people of Jonesboro' was usually
sober and quiet, but visitors from the
country were upon a big high" About
ten o'clock John Barleycorn sent his first
representatives upon the streets, and then
his forces rapidly augmented until the
red glow of heated countenances were ev-
erywhcre to be seen. The drunken mirth
grew fast aud furious and then the vol
leyed oaths filled the streets, as if we
were visited with a deputation from To-
phet. The scenes were disgusting in the
extreme, and it seemed as if King Alco-
hol was wreaking a special vengeance up
on the town. A sight was witnessed
which probably never shocked the morals
of this community, three white women
cursing and reeling along the pavement
in Il condition of beastly intoxlcatlon-
One young man, outraging all dccency
and disregarding human life. galloped up
and down Main Street, firing a pistol sew
eral times, yelling and cursing like a de-
mon. What a disgracefuli commentary
rests upon the community where such
shocking outrages and indecenc les are
committed. 1t pains US to depict these
scenes for the public eye, but as journal
lists we cannot avoid the unpleasant duty.
May we never haze just such another day
in our town as last Saturday.

CONDENSED UNITED STATES History.
BY William Swinton, A. NJ. Illustrat-
ed with Maps. Portraits &c. I vol. cloth
800 PIP $1.25. Messrs. Ivison, Blake
man, Taylor & Co. New York.
This book in q short time, has become
wonderfully popular. The work has been
prepared in order to meet the views and
wants of that large and increasing class of
teachers in our common schools who aim
at definite results in this study.
The paragraphing is clear and concise.
The construction is direct, concise, and
recitable. A method of Topical Reviews,
the chief excellsncy perhaps Of the book,
meets the approval Of every teacher who
uses the work. In the study of United
States History reviews are exceedingly
important and Prof. Swinton has happily
made this one of the main features of his
book.
1t is free from partizan bias of section
alism, politics, or religion. Its chsapness.
its clear open type, its substantial binding,
and its genuine 1mcrtcan tone, especially
point it out as a model text book for our
COMMON schools.

THE

The interest of education demands it.
A majority of the people favor it. Some
oppose taxation for any and all purposes.
There are individuals in the county who
never have and never will pay a cent of
tax. These individuals oppose taxation.
They talk long and loud against school tax.
These individuals are not aware hat they
stand in their own light. We have no
fault to End with any such.
Taxation for the support of the Gov
eminent is right. Taxation for the State,
or County is also right. With the same
propriety, We may say, taxation for school
purposes is just and right. TIE county
system presupposes a tax. 80 does any sys-
tenn of schools.
We desire as many as feel disposed to
oppose the county system to talk out and
speak out and write up the objections to
the system. Every argument against it
is one in favor of Common Schools. The
more it is discussed pro and con the bet
ter for the people. We want common
schools. The best system WI have and
all we have now, or may have for time to
come, is the County system. If w can
have good schools under it, they are better
than none.
Our people are not prepared for a per-
feet school law of any kind. Public opiu-
ion must be prepared for free schools.
The Legislature that gave US the county
system reflects the will of the majority.
We can do no better than abide by it. If
we do not like the present system, we
must go to work and educate the people
for a better one. 1t will take time, it
will take patience to do this great work.
The individual, or the individuals VINO are
instrumental in doing til is shall. ore day,
receive the benedictions of the rising gen.
erations.

Under the head Of General progress
toward Universal Education in America.
General John Eaton jr. United States
Commissions says:
There are signs of progress toward uni
versatility of elementary education. NJ
merous expedient lave been tried to ac-
couplish this object. During the year
Michigan, Texas, and New Hampshire,
seeking to reach this result, have enacted,
laws enforcing the education, in some man =
ner. of every child of sound mind and
body. The same proposition has been
earnestly discussed and come well-nigh
adoption in other States.
Another important measure adopted in
many of the States is the enactment of
laws concerning the employment of child
rem under a specified age. Complaint is
made of the ineficiency of the execution
of this law in Massachusetts,. Its working
factory. The law of the latter State de-
%clares, in section 1. that no. child under
the age Of fourteen shall be employed to
labor x X unless such child shall lave
attended some school at least three months
each year, fixing the penalty for its viola
tion at one hundred dollars. The State
board Immediately IN the passage of the
act, gave notice Of their purpose to enforce
its requirements, and many of the manu-
facturers, have accordingly co-operated in
enforcing the provisions of the act in be-
half of minors, by causing notices to be
put up so as to meet the eye of all concern
ed, declaring that no children under four
teen years of age will be employed in their
factories unless they nave attended school
as required by law

THE FUND.

The schools expecting to draw aid from
this fund are hereby notified that they will
not be paid before the last of April or the
first of May. DIR. Sears. the General Agent
cannot make the necessary arrangements
sooner.
We can we'll afford to wait in patience,
as our schools have been promised such
liberal aid. We trust cur people, who
have been SO kindly remembered by DIR.
Sears, will spare no effort to maintain a
system of free schools in Washington Coun-
ty, at any rate.
The object of this fund is, to aid in es-
t~ab!ishing free public schools. A more
worthy object could not be presented to
the consideration of any people.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

The legislature of Illinois has passed a
law by large majori:ies in both Houses,
and without distinction of party. enacting
that no Intoxicating liquor shall be sold in
the state without a license, and that no
one shall be licensed without giving a
bond in the sum of So, 900 that they will
pay ell damages to person and property
caused by the liquor they have sold, and
that suits for redress may be brought in
behalf of the state. This law places re-
sponslbility where it belongs. 1t has been
tested in Ohio and Michigan to the benefit
of the poor victims ofthe rumseller. 9th
er states are considering the question of
enacting similar laws.
Tennessee greatly needs such a law
We pay millions of money every year for
liquor and the prosecution of the crime
that it engenders. What a dreadful thing
is the use of intoxicating liquors!
There is an effort being made in this
and some of the adjoining counties to Sc
cure a school fund on the condition that
the Legislature shall pass a ~prohibatory
liquor law. Men can be found in every
county, in the State who are willing to give
large sums to be. set apart as a sacred
choolsfund, prOUtded that by so doing the
children of the State may be enabled to en-
joy the blessings of a common school educa-
ton, and. at the same time, be preserved
from the danger of intemperance.
- - -
Two great objects present themselves
in this enterprise. First, the destruction Of
the liquor trafic-tleg great evil of our day ;
second, the establishment of a school fund
to DO reserved for universal education.

A Store Destroyed by Fire-the
Remains Of its Owner found
Amid the Ruins.

A report reached here yesterday by
passengers on the morning train, that the
store of Mr.. Joseph Mason, of Greene
vile. was completely destroyed by fire on
Tuesday night. The report continued
that Mr.. Mason was missing. and 1T was
supposed he was murdered and robbed,
and the store was then set on hre. A
telegram at 10 o'clock confirmed the re-
port in all its narrowing details. That
the horrible affair was the work OF bur-
glars and incendiaries cannot be question
ed from the facts before US. Whilst the
building was burning, some persons look
ed through the windows of the counting
room. and discovered the door of the safe
was standing open. This is strong proof
of robbery. The crisp and charrcd Body
of Mr.. Mason was found in the cellar amid
the wrecks of the confiagration. At last
account, there was no clue to the perpe-
traitors and no arrest had been made.
Great activity and business tact charac-
ter;zed the business career of the unfor-
tunate man, and it is reputed that a con-
siderable fortune awarded his energy.
This sad occurrence should prove a pro-
6table lesson to towns the size of Greene-
Vile and .Jonesboro', whose vigilance
sleeps through those hours when thieves
incendiaries and murderers ply their IN
formal vocation. In neither place. is
there any police security against the mid
night marauder. A man is robbed, MUIR
dered. a store broken into, set on fire and
other fearful crimes committed, little or
no effort is made to discover the criminals,
and the startled citizens soon recover
from the CONSERVATION and relapse into
their wonted thoughtlessness of danger.
A vigilant and Efficient night police Is
badly needed. Shall re have one?

THE TEACHER.

The conscientious and devoted teacher
nils one of the most important positions in
Society. School teaching has been strug-
Cling long and earnestly to be recognized
as a profession. The day has we'll nigh
arrived when it shall take its place along
side the Ministry, the law and the other
learned professions.
The opening of Normal Schools for the
training of teachers is an important era in
the history of our country. These schools
will give character and influence to the
pedagogic art that it has never enjoyed.
While the other professions boosted of their
institutions for professional training. the
teacher was left to grope his way in dark
ness, and combat the prejudices of the
people almost alone. There is a brighter
day for him now, and for ono we rejoice
in it.
The teacher has literature also as COM
plete aud perfect as any of the learned
professions. Many able and experienced
writer's. of late, have turned their attsn-
tiOn to the wants of the school teacher
and the result is, an unexpected multiple
cation of books of great value on the art
of teaching school.
The attention of the teacher is called
to these new publications. No one can
rise to responsibility as a teacher. unless
he prepares himself for his work. 1t
will cost but little, comparatively, to Sc
cure a few volumes from Barnes Teach
er's Library for instance. while the ad-
vantages to be derived from such books
will be incidentally great.
