FEMALE HIGH SCHOOL,.

This school has been under the
control of one man, Rev. L. p. Sum
mors, for thirteen years. The good
he has accomplished can only be re-
allied when the great balance sheet
is made up. To many and varied
are the influences for good which
have emanated from this institution
to be comprehended in time. Nor
ristown has directly reaped incalcu-
liable advantages. Hundreds of
Young ladies have here been educa-
ted at nominal cost. Thousands of
dollars have thus been saved to our
people. The fact that this school
was in successful operation has in
duced many valuable citizens to
make our town their home. But we
cannot enumerate half the advant-
ages accruing to our people in one
short article. Let us come to a prac-
teal point. The people of Morris
town have been at no expense for
years in building or repairing the
building. The house is entirely in
adequate to meet the wants of the
school The time has come that the
people should enlarge and beautify
the Academy and the grounds. 1t
is greatly to the discredit of the
town that our school buildings are
no better adapted to school purposes.
Other communities with not halfthe
and prctensions are far
IN advance of us. The enlargement
Of the Academy ought not to end in
talk. Lett be put in condition be-
coming Morristown.

OUR CKLEs7ZAL VISITOR.

The comet which has attracted SO
much of the night attention of the
people for aweek past, it is claimed,
was first discovered by student OF
Haverford College, on the night of
the oath, with the naked eye. The
news was telegraphed to the Warn
err Observatory, at Rochester, and
soon scores of kilograms poured in
claiming the prize of 5000 for the
discovery of a comet. 1t is a most
brilliant and beautiful specimen of
celestial phenomenon. Prof. Skinner
of Washington calculates the tail to
be four million miles long. When
first discovered it was in the north
east, but it has worked nOrthward
and the professors inform us is leav-
ing tho earth at the rate Of 100000
miles a day, though it will be visible
for several months. It's nucleus is
one thousand miles in diameter and
the inner head at the envelope
twelve thousand, while the corona is
vastly more than that. DR.. Gould
that the present visitor is
the comet of 1907, and DIR. Boss
agrees with him.

TIE BURNETT MARBLR.

Last Saturday we were shown
some fine specimens Of variegated
marble, found only two miles from
town, on the lands of J. c. Burnett,
Esq. The texture Ofthe marble and
its susceptibility of polish cannot be
surpassed. The demand for fine
Tennessee marble is greater than the
supply. Why not go to work at
once and develop the marble? No
investment will pay better The
out put of marble from East Ten
nessee is of more value than the car
coal. 1t can be doubled without
meeting the demands.

DRO RNED AT1TURLEYs FERRY.

OftO RAED ATtTURLEY3S FERRY
Our. esteemed friend, j. F. Good
SON, Of Turkeys Mil was a hero.
recently, in a thrillingly sad incident
that occurred at Tnrley' S ferry. Hol-
ston river, which has just come to
our ears, He was returning from
this place to his homo at Turlev's
Mill in a springwagon, accompanied
by Misses Mary and Hattie furley.
of Knoxville, and Misses NoIa and
Mary Turley, of Turkeys Mill. Upon
reaching the ferry he summoned the
ferryman to bring over the boat and
the young ladies proceeded to the
boat landing, leaving him to drive
down the team. When the boat had
nearl y reached the Southern bank
MIR. q. began bis descent to the land
ing and was hid from sight of IL by
the bank. At the most difficult
point to stop the team the young
ladies came screaming with alright
that the ferryman had fallen from
the boat and had disappeared in the
water. As quick as possible. one of
the ladies caught the horses bits and
held the team while Mr.. GOodson
rushed into the river towards the
boat, hoping to find. the ferryman
clinging to it. He had waded into
deep water when he beheld the body
entirely submerged floating towards
him. He raised the head from out
of the water and had no difficulty i'm
towing the body shoreward as long
as the water was deep enough to float
it, but as the ferryman was a man
above the average size it was a hard
struggle for Mr.. Goodson to get it
through the shallow water. and it
was only with the assistance of one
of the young ladies that the BODY
was taken from the water and efforts
for its resuscitation made. But life
was already extinct The deceased
was an old man named ID. II. Small
man, wellknOwnin the locality, who
had been employed to take charge
of the ferry while the regular ferry
man was gathering his wheat crop.
The young ladies who saw HIM fall
into the water say that he fell over
the side of the boat as he drew out
his oar, and Immediately sank. 1t |
is thought to have been Occasioned |
by apoplexy or heart disease.

after fifteen years, coulh be retired

should be given a pension of not less
than half their salary at the time of
