PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACH
ERS.
New Regulations.

According to the instructions Of the
State Superintendent Public Instruction.
applicants for teachers certificates must.
upon examination, reach a grade Of five"
10 each study. Last year an average Of
five" was accepted. The maximum is
''ten," but any teacher who fails to reach
a grade Of Five in any branch must be
rejected. II these instructions are car
ried out. many Of the teachers who passed
on examination last year will find diff
culties in securing teachers certificates.
1t will Oe the duty of County Superin.
tendentS to follow strictly the instructions
Of the State Superintendent. Teachers
must prepare themselves. They know in
what branches they are most deficient.
On the 18th and 18th Of August the
teachers and school Directors will be
called together in Jonesboro'. 1t il
suggested that all the teachers be exam
ined in the presence Of the Directors
Two lays will be sufficient to examine the
teachers and for the Directors to make
and sligo their contracts with the teachers
This plan will both save time and trouble

COOP FOR JOHNSON T


The difficulties heretofore existing
between Messrs. Pardee & Co., and
Messrs. Sterling & Co.. in regard to
the East Tennessee and Western.No forth
Carolina Railroad has been amicably
adjusted. Arrangements have been
made for Messrs. Pardee & Co., to
build the road, and they agree TO have
it completed TO Dee Diver Cove in two
years. This is certainly good news to
the citizens Of Carter. county. When
the road is completed it will increase
the value Of their realty, especially
their mineral lands at least one hundred
per cent
Il is expected to be a narrow gauge
road, and that will be an advantage
to our lively neighboring town John,
son City. rs it will ~necesitate the trans.
fer Of freights at that place. The
building Of this road will make John,
son City a business place equal to any
in upper East Tennessee.

TO
Farmers and Grain
DEALERS.

These mills are now being thoroughly
repaired and fitted up with new sand
splendid machinery. We propose that
our -four shall take 4 high stand in all the
markets Of the country. By the 10th
or 18th of August we expect to have the
work completed.
We respectfully call the attention of
Farmers,and Grain Dealers to those mills,
where they will find as good a market
for their wleat as in the East or South.
IL the farmer or dealer prefers to have
his crop of wheat ground rather than
sell ut home We will do it III the most APP
proved manner and warrant satisfaction
in any market.
If desired, we will furnish barrels or
bags, for such grindings and ut the low.
est prices
Those who place wheat in these mills
to be ground for shipment will have the
flour put in the Depot here free OF cost
to themselves.
From our experience we deem it best
not to grind wheat In smill quantities,
as it very greatly interferes with u rcgu-
lar manufacturing business, but will ut
all times exchange floor and Otial for
such lots of wheat In a satisfactory way
This, too, will be found, on actual trial
to facilitate the farmers interest, moi
only in the quantity and quality of the
work but largely a saving of time over
the usual way Of milling.
We urge upon the farmers the prime
Importance OF having all wheat dry and
clean.
We invite all 10 give us a call.
We pay CASH Tor wheat; and furnisl
sacks free.

Peabody Educational Fund.

CaV0Nay y eAunNAs
The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction has received definite ~iustruc-
lions from DIR. B. Sears, general agent of
the Peabody educational fund. in regard
to the terms upon which aid from that
fund will be granted to schools in this
State for the current year. The proper
blanks for applications for aid, and all
needed instructions have been prepared,
and are heing printed, and will be for.
warded in a day or two to each county
superintendent in the State. The trus.
tees Of the fund design that it shall be
used only in aid Of our public school sys.
TEN, and aid will be granted only to
schools under control of the public school
authorities OF the State. All applications
must be made by public school officers.
Owing to the liberal donation toward
the establishment Of our State normal
school, and the fact that Tennessee has
received largely in excess Of her share Of
this fund in the past two years, the
amount to be distributed in the State for
the present year will fall very ccnsidera'
bly, below the suns heretofore apportioned
to our schools. In view Of this fact care
will be taken to aid those schools which
are the most needy. and which give th,
best promise of 20 using the funds as II
produce the greatest and most lasting
good to the general cause Of free educa
tion.
The most impartial justice, We ar
sure, viii BE- exercised in the distribu
ton Of this fund. and applicants for it

claims will receive the most favorable
