our country form an imm ence body, est,
mated at 225,000. Aud it Is agreed upon
all sides that the position they occupy is
not what they deserve nthe front rank of
usefulness, but remanded by the public
to any convenient Corner that seems to

are acknowIed ged to be 50, tie question
Is asked. what can we do to elevate our
professiOn?" And we think this a very
proper gu stion to ask, and could only
wish 1t was proposed with earnestness by
ever, teacher IN the land. We shall at
tempt to reply to this by suggesting
some things that lie in the power Of every
one. H
/. You can cause a higher value to be
set on educdtion. For it is a fact that
very many teachers suuder>value their
priceless work. They cry out against
the confinement in school rooms; thew
think if they were only merchants. or
lawyers. They are for finding some
business that will pay better. 10 all This
we say. Value your labor. Accustoln
yourself to see its comeliness. Stay i'm
lt Praise the teacher. Defend him and
his work.
z. You can cause educational eUork to
luke more prominent place. How few
teachers took and Interest in the Worlds

about it. 1t was suggested that the
teachers should appoint a delegate-rut

And we here suggest, that iifcvery town q.
at all celebrations, the teacher must see
that education is represented, in fact

this centennial year.

thus teach the coming generations to

bad The pleasure of attending both. The
classes passed a fair examination. The
teacher had nothing cut and dried Tor the
occaelon, but presented his school in it,
normal condition. This feature we ap.
prove, for there is a tendency to make
examinations popular at the expense Of
the school,
The exercises at night consisted of
DESTINATIONS, essays, aud recitation,
intersrersed with music. Some of the
compositions were very good creditable
alike to teacher and pupils. The decla.

the whole, the exercises were right good.
Prof. Peoples may well Q proud of
his success. He has taught three years
at this Institution, and his last school was
on improvement on all the others. The
great trouble with many of our teache RS
is, they teach their best schools the first
year. There is hope of a young teacher
as long as he gro,cs in his profession .
Mr.. Peoples has sustained himseli in the
n~elghborhood where he was born, a high
recommendation to any one. A man that
can build himself up at home need have
no fears abroad. His Assistant Mis-,
Fannie Crosswhite made a very acceptable
teacher, and as far as we can ascertain
gave general satisfaction.
The school has been kept up at this
place seven years. This speaks we'll for
the people of the neighborhood. The
school interest has many and strong
friends in that section of the county,

ISSUE AGAIN.

In the HERALD AND tribune Of the
9th of April We gave a brief history of the
great swindie known to evil fame as the
''Torbett Issue"
We showed beyond any possible contro-
versy that those notes Of the Bank of
Tennessee Issued after the 9th of May
1861 and signed by Torbett the Presi>
deut Of The Bank at that time were issu-
ed without authority Of law unless the
Rebellion. which was not a successful revo.
luton was also lawful!
We showed further hat they we're
issued in order to furnish the means to
arm the State in aid and support of the
Rebellion and to purchase supplies and
munitions Of war to aid the Southern Cons
federacy. We called attention to the
fact that those Torbett notes were SO used
We reminded our readers of the fact that
this was known to all intelligent men in
Tennessee ten years ago, and further that
when the Constitution was amended in
1865 such Lawyers as the late Sam.
Milligan and Judge Alvin Hawkins, both
having since been Judges of our Supreme
Court knowing, the iniquity of these Tor,
bett Issues, to place the matter beyond
dispute drew up in article 9Th of the
Schedule a declaration which they caused
to be embodied in the Organic aU of the
State, that these, rorbett Issues were
unconstitutional null and yoid. We
showed also that while that provision
stood these Infamous Torbett Issues never
could be paid but that the Democrat.
Constitutional Convention OF 1870 de.
liberately abrogated Sec. 6 of the Seized,
nle Of 1865 and revived the Torbett
Issue. We added that John c. Brown
was the President Of the Convention that
A. o. P. Nicholson our Democratic
Chief Justice was the leading mind of
the Convention, and that Attorney Gem
eral Heiskel and Governor Porter both
Democrats were on the Committee which
reported in favor Of tearing down the
barrier which Milliyan and his compeers
had erected to save the people from the
Torbett Issue swindle. All this being
true to the letter, aud incapable of being
controverted we declared that the glory Of
rcviving, these dead Torbett Issues sous

box Of liver pills swallowed at once by
each of five lawyers would produce mild

Unable to honestly deny our statements,
the Journal reads Us a moral lecture and
uses up a column Of space in accusing us
Of having DETAINED and abused the Judges
Of the Supreme Court whom il proceeds to
sulogize. Our readers know this is un>
true. We only mentioned the fact Of the
recent decision without questioning the
motive Of the Judges who rendered it.
We commented, as we presume the whole
free press Of the country has a right to
comment, on the whole ~sxindling scheme
o. which the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court is the logical climax. But

plous dead rest in hope, the spirit lives,
lives free from hunger and thirst, toll and
pain, disease and death, lives far beyond
the rolling ricer, far beyond the reach of
harm. Live with God in heaven, where
the Lamb which is in the midst of,the
Throne shall feed the blood washed

Living Water.
Finally. Those that die in the arms
of Jesus still live, 10 an important sense
on earth, for Blessed ere the dead who
die in the Lord, yea, saith the spirit, they

The father of his country has long since
passed away, but his name and noble

left examples worthy of initiating, aud
have gone to enjoy their rich reward.

lHE Lord OF the White Elephant" as the
sovereign of Burmah is known to his sub
Jects' oilers willingly to back that animal
against the British lion. Burmese expert
ence in contending with British troops has
not been eminently satisfactory. The Bur-
mese went to war with England in 1795, and
got whipped. They tried it again in 1928,
and lost the provinces of Tenasserim and
Arakan. They tried it once more in 1852,
and lost the province of Pegu and the city of
Rangoon. The cause of the present difficult
ty is the assumption by Burmali of sover-
eighty over Karenkee, small neutral dis
trict on the border of the British possessions.
The result of war will probably be the an
nexation OF the whole of Burmah by the
English. There is possibility that an
alliance has been formed between Burmah
and the Chinese Empire. In this case the
British will have something of a struggle
