Teachers Institute to be Held In
GAINESVILLE. 9th to 31st January.

In view of the pressing demand for
instruction in the art of teaching in
the County, have deemed it advisable
to arrange for a Teachers Institute,
to be held in GAINESVILLE from the 9th
to the 3lst of January inclusive, and |
hereby request the Directors of the
several districts, and all the friends of
education in the County to render all
aid possible in making the Institute a
success.
Teachers are earnestly requested to
meet me in GAINESVILLE on Saturday,
January 9th inst, to organize, enroll
their names, and appoint such commit
tees as are to be filled by teachers, ETC.
While the Institute is not designed
for the examination of teachers it is
hoped that every teacher of both sexes
in the County, who designs teaching in
the Public Schools of the County will
attend the Institute during the day,
at least, as the days will be devoted ex-
clusively to institute work.
The object of institute work briefly
stated, is, primarily, to drill teachers
in the art of teaching secondarily, to
present the newest and most improved
methods of instruction; and tertiarily,
to insure a sympathetic bond of
interest between the teacher and the
parent.
Teachers who attend the Institute,
will not be required, as is generally sup
posed, to make display of their learn
ing, or ability to teach. They will not
be expected to take part in the exer-
cises against their wishes. But
whether they attend as spectators or
actors, the exercises of the Institute
will not fail to interest and improve
them.
Teachers, both male and female, are
earnestly requested to attend the meet
ing called fer the oath inst. (the last
day for the examination Of teachers
before the schools open) and hear the
objects more fully explained.
Superintendents, and teaehprs from
other counties, and alt friends of the
cause of education. everywhere are in
Eited to be present and render aid in
the effort to improve the profession of
teaching.
Committees On arrangement and en-
tertainment will be appointed as soon
as possible, and their duties assigned.
The citizens of GAINESVILLE will, with
their characteristic hospitality, open
their doors to visiting teachers. Those
who entertain visitors during their stay
in the city are invited to make known
to committee on arrangements, as soon
as said committee is appointed, the
number of visitors they will accommo-
date.
Committees on programme, and mu
sic will be appointed as soon as possible
70 as 70 enable them to prepare in
time.
The Institute is held in the interest
of education. Every one therefore,
in the County who feels an interest in
the cause of education should attend
it. Educators who have already been
selected by their qualifications to di :ect
the educational interests of the county,
watching constantly with intelligent
scrutiny, every proposed improvement
in the art of teaching will readily re.
spond TO this effort to elevate the stand
ard of instruction IN the County.
Very respectfully,

Do you want Ready-made Clothing?
IF you do, go to Coulter's. Do you
want ready-made shirts? If you do,
go to Coulter's. Do you want goods
to make shirts? If you do go to Coul-
ter's. Why go to Coulter's all the
time? Because he buys for CASH, and
you know CASH gets the bargains Be-
cause he is at no extra e.rpense to sell
clothing, therefore can afford to give
bargains. Because he is not dependent
upon any one branch of business for
his support, but handles all his goods
to the Disadvantage. Because he buys
direct from the manufacturers and gets
the lowest prices and can afford to sell
at the lowest prices Because he aims
in every instance 10 give his customers
the full value of their money. Try
Coulter for CLOTHING. --<''

Many splendid Bargains have been
bought on these Bargain Counters this

Coulter's. Why don't you? You
might find it to your advantage; you
certainly cant lose by doing so-you
have all the advantages offered you
and no risk.

JUDGE KELLER, Of Harrodsburg,
KY, opened Court, short time since,
by ordering every man to be disarmed,
who entered the room. If this be legal
step, it would be well if it were taken
by every Judge, with the addition of
a fine imposed upon every one found
with arms upon him. The amount of
crime growing out of the habit of car
rying concealed weapons, can never be
known, and the judiciary can perform
no greater service to the public than
to break up this vicious and danger
ours habit. The pretext of self-pro-
lection is too thin, and he who makes
it, is oftener made an aggressor upon
others, than defender of himself.

No USE TO TRY.

You can't do better than to buyyour
CARPETING of Coulter. He keeps the
largest stock. He keeps the prettiest
patterns. He keeps the best assort-
ment He sells at the very lowest price.
He buys ON the very best terms. Heis
willing to work for very small profits
and does do SO. He keeps the very
best and prettiest Oil Cloths for halls,
dining-rooms, fire places, and will give
them at low prices. He keeps beauti-
full Velvet Rugs, door mats, oil rugs,
bordering and stair carpeting. The
best assortment of SHADES, at very low

Don't buy that Black Alpaca dress

given. He keeps the best brands sells
at small profits, selects the best blacks.
None superiorin any respect, and they
are warranted to give satisfaction. Re-
member, ladies, that the goods sold by
Coulter have been tested in eyery-res-
pect, and are exceedingly popular. He
has probably sold more of these goods
than were ever sold by any one house
in this whole section of country. Per-

the closest examination, and pronounce
them all right. GO to Coulter's for

THE Oranges have cause to be proud
of what they have done, even in
their infancy. Their successful attack
upon Radicalism, last fall, has so deep
ly impressed that party, as to cause it
to reflect upon its corrupt past and to
inspire it with respect for public OPP
inion never felt before-as is seen in
the disposal of the case of Williams.
A year ago, the clamor against his ap-
pointment would have secured his
confirmation, because the Radical pol
icy has been to make thepublic conform
to its desires. The country has thus
been saved from a grave course, and
the government, from a disgrace that
would have clung to it, for all time to
come.
