SCHOOL No. /, Seventh District,

SCHOOL No. /, Seventh District,
December Goth, 1915.
At meeting of the Teachers Associa-
ton for the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
Districts of this county, held at Port De-
post, Saturday, Nov. 9th, 1873, the follow
ing officers were elected to serve for the
present year: President, J. Thos. Hynes;
Vice President, Miss Mate Roberts; Secre-
tary, Miss Georgia Thompson. The first
meeting for the current year took place on
Saturday, December 4th inst.
The exercises were of highly interest
ing character. The lecture by DR.. J.
Haines Mccullough was eloquent, exhaus-
tive and effective, and though it was in
tended as only an introductory statement
of the elementary principles of the science,
to be followed by other lectures on the
same subject, yet it by far transcended our
most sangune anticipations in the compre
hensiveness of its scope, and in the sedu-
lous research into minutia which it evinced
On motion, unanimous vote of thanks
was cordially rendered to the Doctor for
his disinterested courtesy in consenting at
personal sacrifice to enlighten US on this
most important subject. The thanks were
accepted with refined urbanity charac-
teristics of that gentleman, aud on invita-
ton of the Association he has consented
to continue these highly scholarly and in
structive lectures. Come out and learn
"to know myself
The stated question for discussion, " The
best mode of teaching young children"
was adroitly handled by Nessrs. Watts,
Turner, Stephenson and O., y who
knew what to say and how to say it o..
this subject. Mr.. Squier followed in a
happy effort on the same theme; but as we
have learned from the sad fate of pre-
sumptuous Pharaoh, that it is extremely
dangerous for a frail man to walk on the
bottom of a deep sea, even though by
mighty power the waves may have been
rent asunder, we simply repeat, it was one
of Mr. Squier's happy etorts.
The next meeting of the Association will
be held at Port Deposit, Saturday, January
s, 1876, at O'Clock p. NJ.
PROGRAMME.
1st.-Lecture on Physiology by DR.. J.
Haines Mccullough.
End. Lecture on the history, progress
and utility of the science of geometry by
Prof. Geo X. BeckteI, 4. NJ Principal of
West Nottingham Academy. AS We know
what and OF mh0m we Affirm, we predeclare
that this will be a treat.
3rd.-The deferred subject, "The better
Or best mode of teaching mental arithme
tic" We will pursue the plan previously
indicated. Appointed disputantS take notice.
4th.-'' I he best mode of teaching gram
mar We assign this question to the
lady teachers, and shall expect to hear
from all s5ihtout exception, for the reason
that the best talent in the schools Of Cecil
county delights to live within female tenn
pies, and we cannot consistently encourage
it to live passiveiy. Bachelor pedagogues
don't frown.) Give the Association a warm
support, and in 'rarm room we can defy
the biting blasts of Boreas, while this
intellectual holocaust is being offered.

As Mr.. Ambi Guilty appears extremely
anxious to know of the whereabouts of the
road Inspector of the Fifth district, have
to say he can generally be found at his place
of business (Charlestown), ready to answer
any questions Ambi Guilty may put to him.
The road law does not require the 1nspec-
tor to be out on the road after the 25th OF
October; at the expiration of that time,
said roads were in good order and no one
to find fault but Mr.. Ambi Guilty. And
think 1t will pay him quite as well, as his
present occupation, if he will take his
shovel and pick and mend the frozen hole
which has been trouble to him. What
Ambi Guilty is driving at am at a loss to
determine; perhaps he would like an APP
pointment of Supervisor of the road com
planned of, if so, | will use any influence
may have with the present Board of Com
missoners in his behalf.
In his insane rambling about the road,
he very forcibly reminds me of one of those
narrow necked bottles, as the less they have
| in them, the more noise they make III pour
| ing it out. In the language of favorite
poet l would say of him:
go, wad some pow'r the giftie gle us
| To see oursels as thers see us,
1t wad frae monte blunder free US,
And foolish potion"
Before concluding this letter, wish to
say, that the road complained of, as / am
informed, belongs to the cooperate limits OF
North East; and if SO, the road Supervisor
would not be bound to keep it in repair.
Will the Editor of The Wig inform his

not give us the Wings on Saturdays? No

Communicated.
MR.. EDIToR-Our attention has been
called to an article in your "local affairs"
on Saturday last, in which it was suggest
ed, that the Town Commissioners should
provide for the patrolng of the town at
night for the next three months. In view
of the number of tIamps and cosmopoli-
tans with which our town has been daily
visited, the necessity and impor lance of
this measure, has been recognized for the
better protection and security of the pro-
perty of our citizens and steps would have
been taken ere this to carry out this sug-
gestion, but for the fact that the expenses
already incurred for various public i'm
provements, together with the stated quar-
terly bill for gas, lamp-lighter, bailiff, &c,
have nearly exhausted the treasury already.
We would, therefore, be very glad to have
some expression from the citizens of the
town upon the subject in the shape of a
memorial or petition. We promise for it a
prompt consideration.
J. H. LAMAR, President of the Board

Exhibition Primary department of
Elkton Public School gave an entertain
ment in their school room on the evening
of Friday, December 18th. The affair was
in charge of Misses II. NJ. Ferguson and
Hattie F. Lort, and was creditable to both
teachers and pupils; the little ones perform
ing their parts really we'll, considering their
tender years. The large room of the school
building was filled to Overlooking before the
time for the exercises to commence. The
gentleman announced to speak on the coca
sion having failed to come to time, Mr.. w.
T. Warburto1l, Jr., delivered an appropri-
ate address, which was followed by sing
ing, addresses, dialogues, &c, 10y the pu-
pills. One of the most interesting features
of the exercises was the rendering Of the
Temperance Alphabet by a class of very
little folks. At the close of the entertain.
ment, Mr.. Myths exhibited some interest
ing magic lantern views.

farm. ut Zion, there was raised over three
thousand bushels of corn the present sea-
son. This, considering the number of
acres on which it grew, speaks well for the

number of Rising Suns youthful devotees
of the immortal Morse, for their own
amusement and instruction, have erected
poles and made Geographic connection be-
tween Haines' warehouse and the drug
store buildings, distance of a quarter of
mile-a very commendable and rational
pastime to substitute for store and post
office lounging. They attached their bat
teries on Saturday afternoon and YEARLY
watched for the luminous manifestations OF
the forked element, but up to the present
writing the infant telegraph had not ac-
quiIed the power of utterance. The
excursion to Philadelphia from Oxford, on
Friday last, to hear Moody and Sankey was
quite success. The passengers, filling ten
cars, were met at the Philadelphia depot
by a sufficient number of street cars to
convey them in body to the building on
Thirteenth and Market streets, where they
found block of seats reserved for them in
a desirable part of the immense audience
room. Notwithstanding the intense cold
ness of the night, the room was as com
Portable as parlor, and everything seemed
to contribute to their enjoyment as they
sat and listened with breathless silence to
these two great evangelists who have be-
come SO justly famous in spreading the
Christian religion. :. G. c. Cauffman,
cabinet maker and undertaken in Fulton
township, Lancaster county, who COM
menced business in 1858, completed his
fifteen hundredth coffin and interment, on
the 9th instant. This mortality, apparent
ly large, extended over a radius of perhaps
six or seven miles from his residence, and
ran through period of twenty-five years
and eight months. What a theme for re-
lection. Fifteen hundred fellow beings
removed in healthy neighborhood during
the brief time child grows to maturity

That sprightly, jolly, rollicking,
clever newspaper scribbler, VIII
Grady, OF the Atlanta Herald, was
in Marietta last Monday, and after
reddening his nose, wiggling his toes,
and blowing his nose, he surprised
his inner man with cool drink Of
water, and moved his pen thusly:
"This is a pleasant and healthy
town, and being nearer to heaven
than any other city in the State, it has
become quite notable summer re-
sort many people are here on ac>
count Of their health and others be-
cause it is roomy town, not crowd
ed either with houses or people
Room is so abundant here that they
have built a park in the centre Of
tbs city and have planted thousands
of yankees on their suburbs. In
fact, the town is so large that ladies
are permitted TO wear the biggest
hats that ever the Gun shone on, and
brass band is allowed to fill the air
of the park with music every ALTERS
noon without being declared NUS
sance.
As the exhibition of cold Cobb"
at our State Fairs has shown this
county 20 be the garden spot Of
Georgia, so likewise has my ramb-
ling about Marietta shown this to be
the flower garden of the State
There is scarcely a front yard in the
city that is not bedded with rare
flowers, and scarcely a house in
which there is not stored choice -four
from Cook & Cheeks.
The Keunesaw House is so famous
as the hotel of the pleasure>seeker
that nothing of complimentary ma
ture can be said that will DO it more
than Justice. From the prosant out
look, it bids fair this season to
eclipse what it has ever been. The
house is being thoroughly repaired
and renovated new carpets have
been laid down, and the chicken
coop8 filed with spring chickens.
We learned, by inquiring of one
of the clerks of the house, that near
ly every room in the hotel was en-
gagged for the coming season. 1t is
a mooted question as to whether this
universal engaging of rooms in adj
vance, is attributable to the healthy
location, the fare at the Kennesaw
House, the beauty of the Marietta
girls and their hats, or the fascina
tons of young Lewis, one of the
proprictors of the hotel.

and found Neal hard at work on his
paper-whioh, by the way is one of
the best and neatest weekly papers
published in the State.
George Camp, handsome and
brilliant young lawyer who has a
promising future, if he will only for
swear building poetry, says: "Ma-
rietta deserves more fame for the
beauty of her girls than she does as
being a summer resort, the site of
the Kennesaw House, the home of
Bill Anderson, or the flower garden
Of the South" He further says
that they wear those hats for self
protection at the earnest solicitation
of the Marietta beaux, for if they
were to wear any other sort of hats
the average young man Of Atlanta
would soon lose his $40 a month on
account of his frequent visits to the
Sylvan City,
