It Wasn't a Boulevard.

An Austin darkey raised a large Gro,
of Watermelons, but the crop is so large
this year he has had difficulty In getting
rid of them, the market being over
stocked. He felt like the castaway on
the desert island, for che saw no sale
from day to-day" He attributed the
dullness Of the season to the fact that
the superior quality Of the fruit was not
sufficiently advertised, so he procured
a long tin horn with which he startled
horses several blocks distant.
''LOOk here, said an exhausted
policeman, who had been almost run
over by a fugitive team; ''YOu can't blow
through the streets that way"
''WhO is blowing fru any street. Use

quarreled nearly every Sabbath, but
always made it up again in the course

What We Saw.

In last weeks issue we gave an ac-
count of a visit to the ILirwin school.
We sought, in that article, to present to
the teachers Of this county some Of the
methods of the KirWin schools. Trust
ing that some good has oeen derived
from that article we present, in this
weeks issue, our observations of other
schools. We write only of the COM
mendable. What, In our opinion is
unworthy of commentator, may APP
pear, in the future, under the head of
''defects."
In visiting the Marvin school, we
could not but notice the willingness Of
the pupils to perform the work assigned
them. We also noticed that the teacher,
Mr.. SOlman, was not eXacting In his re-
quirements; that he assumed no I'M
necessary authority; that he treated his
pupils kindly: and that he required
composition writing.
The Bissel school, conducted by Mr..
Shelierly. was pleasing to an observer.

performed by the pupils The pupils

their part well? Because, the older pu-

The Duncan school, taught by Miss
Hughes, seemed 10 be progressing well.
The strong point observed here was the

be neglected. Is it not neglected in
many schools?
At Big Bend we found the teacher,
Mr.. Kelley, at his post, ready TO com
mence work at the proper time. TINS
is important. Are teachers ever tardVP
At the Wolfe Greek school, we found
Mr.. Robinson not only giving insEuc-
ton in the branches required, but hav-
ang general exercises. This is 3 wise
move on his part. General exercises
drive discomfort from the schoOl-rOom
At Logan we found the Principal
Prof. Bryant, quite unWeli, and bis de-
partment Of the school closed until next
Monday. The departments conducted
by Misses Wills and Bryant were, CON
sidering their surroundings, in q good
condition. When their school house is
completed, where then VIII be Phillips
