BEAUTIFUL GRANDMAMMA

erandmamma sits in her quaint armchair;
Never was laiY more sweet and tair
Her gray locks ripple like silver shells,
Uf gentle life and n peaceful even,
A trust in God and a hope in heaven.
Little girl May sits rocking away
In her own low seat like some Winsome fny;
Two doll babies her kisses share,
Apd apOtheF one lies by the side Of her chair
Cheeks Of roses, and ribbons Of blue,
''Say grandmamma," saysHhe pretty elf
Tell me story about yourself.
When you were little what did you play2
Was you good or naughty, the whole long day?
Was 1t hundreds and hundreds of years agO2
And what makes your soft hair as white as snow?
And dolly Ike this, apd this, and this?
Did you have pussy like my little Kate2
Did you go to bed when the clock struck eight9
Did you have long curis and some beads like mine
And new silk apron, with ribbon hneY
Grandmamma smiled at the little maid,
and laying aside her knitting said
Go to my desk, and q red box you'll see,
Carefully lift, and bring it to me-"
So May put her dollies away and ran,
Saying IN be as careful as ever l can"
4 beautiful chlfd, with throat like 4n0B
Lips Just tinted like pink shells rare,
Eyes Of hazel, an golden hair;
Hands all dimpled and teeth like pearls,
FaiTest and sweetest of little girls
"0h, who is i'll cried winsome May,
How l wish she was here -dayl
Wouldn't love her like everything?
Give her doll and my new gold ring?
Nay Gear ErabdHal9n MA, WIG can she he's
"parliaR,H said grandma, that child was me-"
May looked long at the dimpled grace,
And then at the saint-like, fair old face:
How funny" she cried with smile and kiss,
To have such dear little grandma as this
Still, she added. with smiling zest,
i think, dear grandma, like you best"
So May climbed on the silken knee
And grandma told her her history;
What plays she played, and what toys she had,
How at tipes she was naughty, or good or sad,
but the best thing you did, said May, don tyOh see
Was to grow to beautiiOl grandma for me"

sunerintendeni,s Notice.

l have received, for the use of Justices
and School Commissioners, pamphlet
copies of the new school law, accompanied
by the State superintendent address,
which can be obtained by calling at the
office of the city Postmaster, where l have
established my headquarters, and will be
glad to see and confer with all school Off
GERS and friends of education.
As soon as the State superintendent
instructions are issued, which will be after
the Convention of County Superintend-
ents at Nashville, on the 22d instant, ex-
pect to meet the Commissioners and people
at various points in the county, and confer
with them in regard to the great work
about to be inaugurated. The Importance
ofprompt and earnest action by the friends
of education in every school district in the
county, cannot be too strongly urged. The
success of the system depends upon the
degree of vigor and harmony with which
both officers and people take hold of the
work. In this enlightened age when free
schools have become vital necessity, it
would seem almost superfuous to advance
arguments in their favor. 1t is to be hoped
that every district will be wide awake to
the great importance of electing live and
energetic school men-men who have the
success of the school system at heart-for
directors, on the first Thursday in August.
School houses should, also, be put in thor
ough repair and, as far as possible, titte d
up with modern school furniture. Where
1t Is necessary new school houses should
be built since every district which fails to
have schools during the scholastic year
will lose its apportionment of the public
| fund for that year.
Teachers will not be examined until
| State instructions are issued and l would
urge upon those intending to teach to pre-
| pare themselves in the meantime for OBJ
| tanning certificates of the highest grade
possible, as there will be great demand
| for teachers of the best class.
There are some obscure points in the law
which will be constructed in due time by
1 the State Superintendent and in the NEAL
while any suggestion from educators and
the people in general which will assist me
in my preparatory work will be thank
fully received. Your hearty cooperation
is earnestly requested.
| Very respectfully, &C.,
T. G. HARMS,
County Superintendent.

Charge, with Rnne.

Ganum Mynatt was brought to the city
yesterday and lodged in Jail under mitti-
mus from Justice Samuel Il. Tarver, of the
4th District, before whom he appeared,
under the charge of committing rape
upon the person of Eva Louisa Robertson
The evidence was sufficient to warrant the
Justice in binding him over to court, and
not being able to give satisfactory security
for his appearance, he was forced to ac-
company officer Lewis Starr to the city.
This is the second time this man has been
charged with an offense of this nature. but
although we failed to learn full particulars,
if reports be true he will not soon have an
opportunity again of forcing his presence
upon female society.

There is general ignorance of the law
upon the subject of sending merchandise
through the mails. Merchandise is linn
tied to twelve ounces in weight, and must
be wrapped so to permit examination.
Writing other than the address subjects
the package to letter postage. Most per-
sons pay no attention to these regulations,
and mark on the wrapper "dr y good, ="

packages have to be forwarded at letter
postage rates, and subjects the receiver to

We have been permitted to see a private
letter to Gen. Cooper from his son David,
from the above place, in which he says
that the cut worm is playing sad havoc in
the fields of clover about there. Fields of
Col. b. NJ. Branner and Mr.. Odell have
been entirely ruined. The worm begins
on the stalk in the morning and attacks
the leaves as the heat of the day APP
proaches. The wheat and oats crops he
renOrts as looking fair.
