Make reaching a Profession.

Concluded from last lceeE.)
There is little doubt but that the
greatest hIndrance in the way to succe, $
III our Lubl schools Is the fact that ii
majority OF teachers make teaching a
mele make shift, Young men teacn q
lew yeas as Il stepping-stOne To some
one VI the professions, OF TO some bust
ness that they find mole paying. Young
ladies teach q lew terms or years as
sLepping-sLOne 10 maUrmOny. Now, we
would not ceusu e either class oIIeach-
ers severely, Tor they are not entirely or
primarily at fault. 1t is but natural
and right that u young man should quit
teaching and enter some other field of
business as soon as the wages offered
or the profit to be made Is greater than
he en- receive for teaching. And it is
but natural and right that \ young Ia ~
should quit teaching and enter the neId
OF maCumUny As SOON as the OppUrtuni-
" IS Oftei ell, almost regardless OF The
question of profit. 1 he law Of supply
and demand operates III all fields Of
labor with equal force. School district
officers understand and act upon this
proposition. They think 10 save few
dollars 10 the district by taking as cheap
teacher as they can lind. This 1t IS
that Is constantly drawing older ard
nUIe experienced teachers out Of the
business. But what is the i, medv?
Evidently the people must be brought
70 realize that teach NC IS particular
business, q pTOfe sion, and not To be
done by boys and girls and at boys
wages. The people must be brought to
understand the difference between good
teaching and poor teaching. The
QUALITY Of the work must be allowed
" GuIer into the account when estimat
ing the value Of a teachers wave.
Now the teachers Of this county can do
much 10 beuer their " ages by showing
deeper interest in their work. If GU
would expect better pay you NUT be
prepared to do better work. Avail your
seive7 of every means offered 10 improve
yourselves in The business you have in
hand. 1t will of course Gust you much
In the way OF time and money 10 thor
OughIy TT \ ourselves for the profession
But 1t will be time and money well
spent: While a good teacher cannot
afford TO compete in the matter OF
y ages with a poor one yet, let 1t but
once be realized what difference there
Is in the work done, and there will be
no necessity OF competition. Poor and
indifferent teacher viii then be obliged
TO quit the business or prepare them
selves more tho Oughly- Let this spirit
Of advancement but once be felG among
our teachers and Immediately will their
condition be improved. tGeir wages
made more adequate, and their probes

Continued from last eOeeE.
The influence that the teacher exerts
over his pupils. either for good or evil,
continues to lead tn m long after they
have lett the schOul-rOom; it is trans
uliLted from ore pupil to another, and
continues to develop itself through the
long AGES Of time-vea / might say
through eternity. Prof. Page saws in
his work on Teaching that, 80 The teach
er teaches as he goes out and in Def, re
his pupils as Wmd< can never teach. -
While / do not claim TO have the exDe-
rience OF that distinguished writer, or
even of many Of you who are before me
today, yet my experience is that the
teacher teaches not only while he Is In
the schO0l-rO"nl, but on the st eet>, in
the social circle or wherever he NAV be
observed by his pupils. How careful
then We should be as teachers, {. WELD

TOO Much for Butler

According to o Boston letter in the
Now York Graphic General Butler is not
always the victor at repartee,
The late Henry +. Durant was at one
time q student in Buffers Office, and SO
became well acquainted with him and
his convivial habits, which we're at that
time rather pronounced. Afterwards
he set up in law for himself, and while
still young was opposed to his former
employer in rather ticklish case.
Mr.. Butler had very little law on his
side and depended greatly on the mex.
perience and supposed awe Of his
opponent for his own success. His first
question was:
'This is Mr.. Durant, l believer"
''Yes, sir"
"Mr. Henry +. Durants"
eyes, SIR"
'.Mr. Smith, also, / believer" (Mr.
Smith had his name changed by law to
Durant.)
Eyes, sir"
'I thought so. think you are the
two men whom once knew"
Having by such means worked up Mr..
Durant to point Of almost asphyxia his
opponent said, in rather confidential,
patronizing way:
II think I have heard it stated. Mr.
Durant, that you always prepare your
speeches before the glass"
Like fash the answer came:
Better that than after one, like your
self, Mr.. Butler"

almost as suddenly as it came, and the
result "a now definitely known. The
weather was within one degree Of the
coldest on record. and the coldest since

damaged in this section, but 1t is believ-
ed that some few of the trees will be
saved. In Florida many grove owners
accepted the warning Of the Signal Ser

Uncle Stephen ]. Smith, an old citizen,

from an extracted tooth.
The public road from this place to

The Brookhaven leader., 1884-08-28

Tuesday Of last week we went down Il
Bogne Chitto and made trip over tn,
wcsson & Money Narrow Guage Railroad
to the large lumber mills Of these gentle
men situated In the extensive pinerics o.
this County east of Bogue Chitto. The
w. g. N. Road has been extended aboui
two and one-half miles since our visi,
last year, and at the eastern terminus a
new mill erected, which is no doubt one
of the finest and best equipped any where
in this section. It's machinery is all new,
and a large lighthouse" capable of sea-
soning six or seven thousand feet of lum-
Der every "a hours, is kept constantly
filed. The machinery Of the older mill
was just undergoing q thorough over
hauling, and 10 now In frst-rate repair.
Besides the large saw, it is equipped with
saws for "edging up" cutting ceiling,
flooring, etc., thus utilising much
timber that IL would be impossible to
otherwise turn to profitable account.
Near by stands planning mill, and ma
chimes for tonguine and growing. Also
another large drying house through which
tho lumber passes to the planning mill.
It 10 also interesting to note, that all of
the saw-dust and shavings turned out by
the mills are passed by machinery direct
~ to the door of the furnaces and utilized
~ fuel, thus furnishing an ample quanti-
ty at less expense and trouble than is re-
quired by the old style of piling the saw
dust out of the way.
The daily output Of these two mills is
about 80, 900 feet of lumber of various
kinds, about $4,000 Of which il nicely
seasoned and ready for immediate use,
thus making it much more saleable and
easy to handle.
The evening was most agreeably spent
with Col. Money, whom we found at
Mill No. 1, and with him We spent the
night at the residence Of Mr.. Wesson and
his interesting family, who reside at Q
convenient distance from the mill. Next
morning We again boarded the "Joe Kit.
trelp with our clever host at the lever,
and after short run reached D. in time
to connect with the mixed freight for
home.
Nessrs. Wesson q Money deserve
great credit for their enterprise and ener-
gy, and we were glad to find their efforts
bearing such unmistakable evidences of
success. They have large amount of
capital invested in their business, and
give regular employment to from 60 to 20
hands, thus adding to the material adj
vancement Of the County. Their road
also does the carrying for the mills Of our
friends Capt. w. J. Van Zant and A.
Richardson, which are located on il, but
which we could not spare. the time to
visit. Each of these also turns out q
large amount of splendid lumber.
As soon as we can gather sufficient
data, we expect to lay before our readers
an article on the lumber Industry of Lin
coin iu general.
