The World is Growing Better.
he world is growing better !

The world is growing better!
 Thought takes wider sweep; The hand of sturdy labor
 With friendly hand we greet We will not drink the bitter When so little makes it sweet. The world is growing richer,
 In wealth brought from the earth But, better far, with treasures found In mines of sterling worth, For noble deeds are honored more Than simple claims of birth. The world is growing better,
 With fewer musty creeds! With more of human strivings
 To answer human needs, With precious harvests garnsred As the growth of precious seeds.

Mr.. r. E. Hutchinson, an old sub
scriber who has lately moved from
Lowndes across the line into "old Mon
roe" wants to know why it is that this

Index, if you will interview the State
Superintendent of Education for a COM
,parison of figures and statistics of the
two counties. The Superintendent for
Monroe reported 1l5 free public schools
for 1882, while there were only 81 in
Lowndes. There were 159 teachers
employed in Monroe IN 1882, of whom
30 held frst-grade certificates and drew
salaries accordingly, while but 70 were
required to teach the Lowndes county
schools, of whom only Z were entitled by
certithate to pay of the first. grade.
Monroe's lis schools were conducted
four months at IN expense approxima.
ting SIS, 500, which is only few hun
dreds in excess of the school fund, and
teachers warrants are quoted at almost
par value, when they are in the market
at all. What did the Lowndes county
schools cost and what is the amount of
deficit?
We have forty eight more schools than
Lowndes and twenty-five more teachers
of the first grade, which afford more
general benefit from the free school sys-
tenn, and higher standard of education
if the grade of certificate serves as a
criterion. The separate school districts
of Columbus and Aberdeen are excluded
from the above figures.
If Lowndes and Monroe were entitled
to apply all the school MONIES derived
from fines and forfeitures, privilege taxes,
etc., paid by their own people, it would
be an easy matter to run the schools five
months every year, without levying q tax
for that purpose.

In recent issue we mentioned speci-
mems of sugar and sorghum sent us by
Mr.. Bean, of Chickasaw county, and
alluded to them in such manner as to
convey the idea that they were produced
from the Chiense and japanese sorghum
50 common in this section of country; to
that extent we were in error, for the
sugar and molasses were both made
from the genuine Louisiana Sugar Cane
and consequently real specimens of Mis-
sissippi-made molasses and sugar,
entirely different from the sorghum pro-
duction which now forms considerable
portion Of the annual crops of East Mis-
sissippi. We know Of farmer in Old

TELEPHONE NOTES.

Mrs. Katie Carter, wife of the SUI
perintendent, was in charge of the
Exchange last week.
Superintendent J.C. Carter, with his
assistant, Mr.. Terry was engaged last
week putting up line of posts, from
the Exchange towards the northwestern
portion of the city.
The wires have been run to all the
subscribers who are not yet in commu'
nication with the Exchange. AS soon as
the instruments arrive the connections
will be made in very short time.
The Washington Register says that
Mr.. Rodgers, of that city, has realized
large sum by an improved telephone
system; but fails to point out wherein it
differs from the system in general use.
Mr. VIM. Jackson, Superintendent
of the Vicksburg Telephone Exchange,
went over to Monroe, Louisiana, last
week, to establish an Exchange in that
place. BY the way, MI. Jackson and
Mr.. j. G. Carter both entered the service
of the Louisiana Telephone Company, in
New Orleans, together and on the same
day and both are now Superintendent
or managers of large territories.
The residence of Mr.. ". L.Polk, on
the Warrenton road, has been connected
by telephone, No. l05. Vicks5uyg COM
merctd.
Superintendent Carter is confident
that as soon as he can put up all instru-
ments for subscribers in the city, several
lines will be run to the plantations of
city residents.
IL, P.S.," writing from Aberdeen to
the Meridian Sun, refers to the telephone
thusly:
The telephone is the novelty of the
day, now; about fifty of them are in full
blast, with central Office at Dir. Eckfords
drug Store. They are so useful as well
as enjoyable, that the wonder now is,
how we exist without them.
We will soon have as many railroads
as Meridian, and unless she adopts the
telephone, We shall continue as we have
always been, far in advance of her.
We have it, sub rosa, that a Jackson
lady consumed all last Thursday bother
ing the telephone exchang Office trying
to get her husbands ear. She told Mr.. |
Rouke to "ring again for him; that she
had an important piece of news for him."
When at last she was put in communi-

this city, Mr.. Reeve Sharpe, from the
Vidalia side Of the river. The connec>
ton was made by Mr.. Sharpe yesterday,
using one Of the wires of the cable laid |
