A DAY AT SCHOOL.

When l was q little girl and went
to little school and wore a little
sunbonnet and dress and apron and
carried a little slate and one or two.
little books, something happened
one day that can never forget,
Years have come and gone; many
changes come with many years; but
that one day at school car never be
era 'ed from my mind.
must have been above seven OF
eight years old when it happened,
for my little reader had in it the
story of "The Three Boys and the
Three Cakes" | remember our
teacher was tall, handsome woma:
| used to think she mist look like
a queen, for she was so beautiful
to me. All day long a noisy, mis-
chievous boy had given her great
trouble. She watched him, but did
not seem at all angry, only she
looked pale and sober. When eve
ming came, she called him to her,
and said to him just as kindly and
calmly as though he had been very
nice:
'Tommie, you have been very
bad to-day and you must be punish
ed"
We all expected her to ask him
to hold out his hand for feruling,
but she didn't. She stopped and
looked at him for a moment, then
said:
Il can't strike you, Tommie; you
must strike me-"
Then taking ruler from her
desk, she handed it to him. We
all sat in breathless silence. l re.
member my heart got right up in
my throat, and I wanted to cry.
Our teachers face was as white and
still as marble. Tommie shrank
back and would not touch the ruler.
The teacher said again:
"Tommie, you must" and laying
the ruler on his arm, she stretched
out her delicate hand toward him,
Dropping the ruler, Tommie sank
down on the platform with a great
sob. I guess we all cried them
did, | know. But our teacher sat
there so pale and beautlful-not a
particle angry or excited; SO calm,
she seemed almost an angel to US. |
can never forget how she took the
poor boys hand and drew him up
to her side, and how sweet her
voice sounded as she said:
"You knew now, Tommie, how
it hurts me to strike you, and how
how much more it has hurt me all
day to know that this boy needed
to be struck
After that, 1.-The worsG boy in the
school," Thomas Greene, became a
gentle, noble fellow. The calm
teacher had conquered, not the
flesh, but the spirit. Had she
grown angry,and uttered bitter un-
kind things, how the boys heart
would have fired up with anger,
too, and how different ali our hearts
would have felt. | always wished
to grow into the same sweet, patient
kind Of woman that my loved teach
er was-for to me she was the most
perfect type of womanhood, and
such she will always be.
l have told you this story of a
day at school in order 10 teach you
the beauty OF calmness, gentleness,
patience and forbearance. These
are hard lessons to learn, dear boys
aud girls, but let us learn together
from one of the best and most perfect
teachers, Jesus, that loving Savior
who went about doing good.-Wes-
tern Christian Advocdte.

dreaming, Zaidee was hurried along
the softly carpeted corridors. over
which the rosy light Of dawn was
already beginning to beam.
Old Mrs. Wilde sat up in bed,
looking haggard and hollow-eyed
in her black silk hood and gorgeous
cashmere shawl. -
'Oh, Zaidee, Zaidee, how could
you ever sleep through all this
dreadful confusion, she cried.
oh, I'm so thankful We weren't
all murdered in our beds -...
Grandma, said Zaidee, gently,
don't be troubled, we are all alive
and well?' Let the silver go, and
the other things.
:Oh, but that is not all, sighed
Mrs. Wilde. I haven't done as
l ought. The diamonds were not
large, and the silver was sid fash
ioned-I don't care so much for
those! But the pearls, the old fam
lily pearls, Zaidee, that were worth
thousand dollars. BY your grand
fathers will they were to have been
yours on your seventeenth birthday
but kept them back, thinking you
would want to wear them every day
land lose, them, perhaps, because
you were so young. And they are
taken too! The empty case lay
on the bureau, with the rest Of the
boxes! Oh, Zaidec, can you ever
ever, forgive men
E Zaidee hesitated q moment, and
turned very pink, and then, uncer-
tain whether to laugh or to cry, she
drew the pearls from her bosom,
exelaiming:
oh, grandma, dear grandma, it
is for you to forgive me. Here are
the pearls all safe! | borrowed
them out Of the case TOTO wear.
| went to the Military Ball tonight
with Colonel Battersby and Phoebe
and Alicia; and | wanted some
thing to put around my neck, and
I was very wicked and took the
pearls
And here Zaidee stopped short,
appalled, at the remarkable facial
contractions of Muggs, who, in the
background, was gesticulating to
her not to betray her (MuggsO share
in the escapade.
But Mrs. Wilde uttered an excla-
nation Of intense relief.
My darling Zaidee, she cried,
4 never was SO glad in my life /!
Of course it was very wrong for
yon to do such thing, but so long
as the pearls are safe. I can't be
angry at anything else. Kiss me,
Zaidee. The dear precious pearls
that l wore on my wedding day!
l never thought to look upon them
again. And you must keep them
now, sweet-and perhaps I've been
a little over-particular about balls
and such things, with you. You
are seventeen years old, and it is
time that you saw something of the
world. You shall be introduced
in society, Zaidec, and by better
sponsors than Colonel Battersby
and his dowdy daughters! But
never steal away from me, like a
schoolgirl again p
Dear, dear grandma was all
that Zaidee could say, for the
pearls were safe, and Grandma
Wilde had forgiven her.
And I'm very glad, Miss Zaidee
that you didn't mention my name,'
said Muggs, when she was taking
Zaldee back to her room, for after
all you know it was not my fault
Mrs. Muggs, said Zaidee smiling
it was not your fault.

Stevens Nominated.

We kept our forms open until
late hour last night thst we
might be able to report this morn
ing to our readers the nominee of
the party for the Legislature from
Terrell. We have barely enough
space to state that MIR. o. B.
Stevens has won this distiction, and
we doubt not that he will wear his
honors gracefully and easily. 1t
was hard fought contest, as both
sides contested every inch of the
ground as long as there was man
to vote. Mr.. Stevens will make
our county worthy Representa-
tive, and it is the plain duty of
every democrat to support him as
the nominee of the party. Ste
vens majority in the county is
about 20.

Col. j. II. Query and Chicago.

Col. J. III. Query returned from
Chicago on last Monday perfectly
carried away with the beautiful
city and the inspiriting scenes of
the great convention. The Colo
mel says he wouldn't have missed
the opportunity of attending the
convention for a thousand dollars.
While there he met many of the
most distinguished leaders of the
Democratic party, such men as
Hendricks, Thurman, Voorhees,,
Senator Lamar, John Kelly and a
host Of others. Col Query thinks
the ticket nominated the very best
that could have been made, and
believes that it will be elected by
a sweeping majority. He thinks
that John Kelly is a much better
man than is generally supposed,
and that he will support the ticket
nominated very cordially.
Col. Guerry's descriptions of the
beautiful scenery to be seen in
Chicago is quite entertaining,
especially the panoramic views of
the battles of Gettysburg and
Paris. The Colonel had the
pleasure of witnessing some very
fine races, also, while in Chicago.
He saw some 2:15 horses trot and
the fastest PAGER in the world
Among many other thrilling Incl
dents that ne witnessed was the
playing of a game Of baseball,
between the professionals" of
New York City and Chicago. For
an hours first-class entertainment,
just lead the Colonel out upon his
trip to Chicago.

Tic Election.

The election contest in Terrell,
between the opposing candidates
for the Legislature, has been
sharp, and, in some respects, bit
ter. But the contest has been
waged and the election is now
over; let every man, therefore,
rally to the nominee and do his
full duty as a true, loyal democrat.
There are very many men in the
county who regretted that they
could not vote for both of the can
didates, for they are both honora-
bic, heightened gentlemen and
good democrats, and it cost the
friends of both a very severe strug-
gle in many cases to vote atall. In
deed, there were many who didn't
vote, simply for the reason that
they could not make a choice be-
tween the two men that were run
ming. If there have been any
misunderstanding or differences
between friends, let these be for
gotten also; let them be healed up,
and let no man longer cherish i'll
will in his heart for another
While the result of yesterdays
election has not been officially
announced, it is generally known
that Mr.. Stevens received a
majority of the votes cast, and will,
therefore, be officially declared the
nominee of the party. Let every
man, then, determine to support
him.

Railroad Meeting.

The railroad meeting on last
Friday afternoon was not very
largely attended, Notwithstanding
there were not less than 5000
people in the town. We suppose
this was owing to the fact that the
people were more interested in
politics and other matters on that
day than in railroads. At 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, however,
the bell rang and the chairman,
Capt. r. F. Simmons, called the
meeting to order. After one or
two speeches, it was proposed to
complete the organization by the
election of five new directors
Upon motion, Geo. W. Cheves, T.
K. Taylor, James Greer, J. L. Par
rott and d. p. McLain were put in
nomination and elected. During
the meeting letter was read from
Mr.. L. E. WEIGH, of Albany, one
of the directors of the Brunswick
and Western Railroad, stating
that if our people would grade
and tie the road that his company
would iron, equip and operate it.
DR.. Kendrick, the chairman of the
Board of Directors, stated that a
plan had been formulated by which
subscriptions would be raised for
the necessary stock in the road and
that efforts would at once be made
to inaugurate the work of raising
these subscript ons. With reso-
luton requesting the Board of
Directors to meet, organize and 90
to work the meeting adjourned,
subject to the call Of the chair
man.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEET.
At 5 o'clock the Boarl of Direc
tors met and completed the organ
ization by electing DR.. W. G.
Kendrick president and Geo. W.
Cheyes secretary. The subject
of raising the necessary stock to
build the road was discussed and
it was determined to proceed at
once with the work. Directors
Carver, Oxford, Turner, Simpson
and Stevens were appointed a
committee to canvass the town and
county to see what could be done.
Geo. W. Cheves was appointed
committee of one to raise the funds
necessary for covering the expen-
ses of obtaining a charter. Upon
motion the Board adjourned to
meet again next Saturday evening,
3 o'clock. The following is a list
of the directors
W. G. Kendrick, 0. B. Stevens,
