The Exposition.

The Board of Managers of the EXPOSE
ton met last night, with good attendance.
The various committees made highly salts
factory reports, showing q steadily increas-
ing interest in the enterprise, aud giving as
surance of success.
The Committee on Classifcati n reported
having received large number of applica-
tons, and that the entire building would
soon be entirely occupied. It's important
that all who desire space should present
their applications to Mr.. Buttorff as soon as
they can, in order to secure good places.
The Art Committee have been promised
a large number of paintings and chromos
present an unusually interesting display.
The Art Hall is admirably adapted to ex-
hibit fine paintings TO the best advantage,
and with perfect safety. The fact that Mr..
Davies has charge of this department is a
guarantee of its tasteful arrangement.
The Waltham Watch Company proposes
to exhibit the manufacture of watches in
all their progress from raw material to per-
lection. 4 his is branch of mechanism
almost unknown in our latitude, and will
be novelty worthy of attention-not only
curious, but instructive.
The Horticultural Committee is mskiCg
every effort to add to the attractions of the
garden, and have made arrangements for
plants and flowers with several of our most
extensive gardeners and amateurs.
The Executive Committee was authoriz d
to receive propositions for advertising on
the Vine and Broad street enclosure, with
a view 20 profit and decoration, and to have
the outside of the buildings properly tinted.
Any propositions to do this work will pc
received and acted on by the committee as
soon as they are presented.
The Art Gallery will be ready for recep-
ton of paintings on Monday next, and the
committee will then be ready. to receive
them and put them in position.

Election I'm EdgafieId.

Next Saturday is the day appointed for
the holding of an election in Edge6eld to
vote upon the proposition authorizing the
issuance of bonds amounting to $4,000 for
the purpose of Building school house.
We hear of but little opposition to the issu-
ance CT these bonds, and we believe the
people generally see the necessity of such
action as was recommended by the commit
tee that framed the bill and adopted unani-
mously by the Board. The present school
building, which is rented for the purpose, is
too small to accommodate The pupils south
of The railroad, and more room is necessary,
and if not obtained the public schools, now
in O flourishing condr ion, must suffer.
In considering the needed wants of
the public, number of suggestions were
made, and it was concluded that the best
way to meet the emergency was to build
new school house as soon as possible. In
a financial point, the course recommended
and adopted was regarded SIS the best, and
now it only remains for the citizens 10 come
forward and sanction by their votes the is
suance of these bonds, so that the building
at an early day may be PIT under con-
tract.
We do not deem it necessary in this con-
nection TO speak of the economical manner
in which the public schools of Edgefeld
have been managed or to hint at the bene-
fits which have resulted to the town since
their organization. The increase IN pOpu-
alton and the many new buildings that
have been put up, and nov in course of
erection is evidence sufficient. Within the
past year as many as forty new houses
have been put up within a stones throw of
the North Edgefeld School, and erected
solely to meet the demand of those who
desired to live in close proximity to the
school. 1t was good investment on the
part of the corporation, and similar build
ing in South Edgeield will be attended
with like good results.

The gentleman of the Pulaski Citizen

We have been accused By one of our fair
ones of neglecting to advocate the right of
Giles county to the seat Of honor among the
counties of Tennessee as being the possess

have remained quiet and watched the idle
scramble of various counties for this honor,
and we have seen them one by one echpsed
and sssot back" We have never entered
the lists for The reason that we did not wish
to pit ''beauty" against "bluff," for every
body knows that Giles county has not only
the prettiest girl but the prettiest girls of
ally county in the State. Now, these other
county papers may try to bluff us off in this,
but we invite them all to send delegates
DOWN here, and by the tap of drum we
can array such bevy of beauties before
their gaze as will make them fall upon their
knees and cry, "Men and brethren, why

The crow of the court lowered in stern,

The reason why VIM. 81. Williams gave
the name of "John Wilson," when he was
arrested Wednesday night, was because he
was so drunk that he thought he was

side in Nashville, but he came to the city
Wednesday, for the purpose of traDsacting
little business. Now, wh1n man of the

Mr.. Williams comes to Nashville to transact

thing he does is TO visit barber shop, where
he gets shaved, has his hair cut,
his head shampooed, bis COW hide

trast to his light colored hair. The artistic

: 1t gives us sincere pain TO rec ,rd the
death of w. by Smith, one OF, the Oldest
journalists in The State. he died yesterday
morning about 5 o'clock in the 54th year OF
bis age, &C consumption. He vase native
of Paris, Ky, and removed at an early age
with his parents 10 Huntsville, Ala. he
learned the printing business in the office
of the Huntsville Democrat, the leading
Demo ratio paper Of the Stale at that day,
On completing his apprenticeship, he went
into the Office of the Southern Adcocdte,
the opposition paper, and soon after became
one of its editors and proprietors, in 1898.
he was a delegate and attended the Harris
burg convention of 1889 that nominated
Gen. Harrison for the Presidency. He
remained in Huntsville till after the cleo
ton and Inauguration of Harrison, ard
then removed to this State, and with his
brother J. Watt Smith, conducted the Muir
freesboro Telegraph till 1914. he then
removed TO this city and became
editor OF the Gazette, then
Just Established by Glaseock & Thompson.
Liter some years the paper changed hands,
and he returned and labored at the case,
but constantly contributed 10 various jour
nails. In 1S56he was .asseciatedin the finn
which purehased the Nashville True Wing,
established The Patriot and was one of the
editors of that paper, until it was libeled in
| the Federal Court for the disloyalty of its
owners, condemned and sold by the Gov
ernment. After that he was the editor of
the Unioa, paper which had only a tenn
porary existence after the war. During the
later years OF his life, be was the Agent of
the Western Associated Press In this city.
In all his relations and duties MIR. Smith
was honest, dilieent, upright and faithful.
he did everything he undertook, well. He
wrote vigorously, directly and ably-he
selected judiciously, and his papers were
always influential and entertaining. He
was man of remarkable f,mness, sensi-
tive Of honor, quick to resent an injury,
but mild, congenial and forgiVing in
his whole nature. AS a man and q
friend be was steadfsst and true. He was
nnobirusive 10 disposition and demeanor,
unaffectedly modest in department, and
possessed an intellect of singular clearne5s,
ready perception and sound Judgment.
To those who knew him intimately, the
announcement of his death will be received
with profound sorrow. There were few
better or ADLER men in contemporary walks
with him, and his departure is the extinc-
ton of light in our midst. To lis imme-
date family, we offer our sincere sympa-
thies in their affection. .-.

to 90 searching around in their husbands
pockets Here was the wife of j. l..
Poor, q comparatively happy woman. To
be sure she had heard il intimated that her
husband had paid some attention to other
ladies', but she had had no positive proof or
that fact, and as she is q firm
believer in the adage, 7" Where igno-
rance is bliss, tits folly to be wise,"
she had refrained from making any eff
fort to obtain that proof. Her eyes were
finally opened, however, and this was the
way of it, as she explained to the court:
We have been married three years, and this
is the first tims my husband ever whipped
me. The other day looked through my
husbands pockets for dime. found the
dime, and found something else-two
notes which he bad written to Emma
Gaines, girl on Front street. One Of
these notes was mighty

he wouldn't send any more notes.

after awhile with aiittle manipulating cane.

The PabIic schools.

To the Union and American: ..-. .-.l-r
The proposition of Councilman Atchison
to amend the laws regulating the public
schools of the city, deserves respectful con-
sideration, and the modes of attack adopt
ed are not such as should be restorted to in
questions of this description.
Your correspondent, "Anti-Progress, by
garbled extracts does the proposition iDjus-
tice. The section as quoted by hiIa from
the bill omits an important clause which
negatives the very point which he seeks
to make. The bill is not in conflict with
the section of the State law alluded to, but
on the contrary the bill does propose in the
very section copied to add to the course of
study prescribed by the State law. Upon
this point the real question is: Whether it
is better after the course Of study prescribed
by the State law shall have been accom-
plished, to furnish gratis a normal school
training or a high school department?
1t may be said that both should
be done, but the city has not
IN the past, and is not likely in the future
to be able to do both, and if but one of
these departments can be maintained,
which shall it be? Is it not.better to pre-
pare the young men and young women of
the town to become expert teachers, than
to give them a smattering of the higher
branches, which can be of but little, if any,
practical benefit? The time has
scome when education should be
made practical. We must look
to the practical and not mers accomplish
ments. We must do that which will best
fit our sons and daughters fer the practical
duties of life. If our sons are prepared for
business, and our daughters qualified to be-
come successful teachers, we afford them
guarantee against dependence, and thus do
them infinitely more good than by making
them experts in book learning merely.
Aside from these questions, the bill of
Councilman Atchison proposes other
changes and alterations in the
management of the public schools
which should not be overlooked. 1t is not
surprising that "Ant:-Progress " should
object to bill proposing as one of its fea-
lures to abolish the inhuman system of
bruising up a child's open hand with rule
requiring it to walk on tiptoe and submit
to other unnatural restraints and postuIes
because some over particular and very
precise teacher has conceived the idea that
the work of nature may be decidedly
improved nor is it surprising that
some other feature of the bill should
be attacked rather than this. The corporal
punishment of child has been wisely COM
mitted to the parents, and they ought not
to delegate this to an outside party who
has no interest in the child whatever ex-
cept what is called forth by dollars and
cents in the way of compensation as q
teacher. The privileges of the public schools
may be withheld from persons who fail to
make their children conform to the rules ~
the schno' Int 70 TEACHER. sh5...G Ne per
1s1eiitttted to infict corporal punishment with
out the consent of the parent.
This matter deserves serious considera-
ton, and it is hoped that the parents of the
city will look into it. PROGRESS.
