When the normalites came into town,
they were greeted with the remark,
"We'n have hill here now" Prof.
Earnest says this Is a ''warm welcome"
Four,ffths of the Washington county
teachers are attending the State normal.
This indicates the popularity of normal
schools among our teachers. The day Is
already here when teachers must recog-
nize the necessity of association in nor
mails, institutes, etc.
The principal Of a certain graded school
advises pupils to salute knights of the
switch with ink stands. An admirable
theory, but poor practice.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted at the normal on the 9th
inst: ,,.
We, the teachers and friends of educa-
ton, assembled in Normal Institute at
Jonesboro, do hereby resolve,
/. That we believe that the national
government should aid the States in edu-
cation and that we hereby endorse the &C
ton of the Tennessee State Teachers AS
ISOLATION at Its various meetings, In petit.
tioning Congress to enact the Blair bill,
or one of similar import to grant aid fol
educational purposes.

tered about, but nothing was missed but
the money. These from their manner of
working are supposed to be the same
parties who were at Mr.. Hale's house on
the same night. No clue to. the thieves
has yet been found.
Quite a little excitement was caused
Sunday morning last by the actions of a
dog on the south side of town. The an
imal frothed at the mouth and exhibited
other evidences of rabies. Some one
kindly put him out of misery by admin
istering a dose Of cold lead from the muz-
zle of a shot gun. We are now in the
midst of the season known as ''dog days.
which willend on the 21st Of September.
The characteristic of the "dog day" sea-
son is that it is usually the warmest time
in the year and sickness is more prevail.
ent. This is the idea originating the pc
culiar lame for the season; Sirius, the
dog star, rose with the u during this
period and the ancient Egyptian astrono.
mers thought that this uniting its iniu.
ence with that of Old Sol, caused the ex.
ira heat and sickness. The prevailing
idea that during this season dogs are
more prone to madness has long since
been proven erroneous. In fact, II is dur
ing the damp, cold spring months wheI
canine hydrophobia may be looked TO,
and not during the excessive summet
heat.

A NEW LODGE.
Knights and Ladies' OF Honor-Organiza-

Knights and Ladies' OF Honor-Organiza-
tion OF a Lodge in Jonesboro.
During the past week Mr.. c. N. Lyon,
Deputy. Grand Protector, has been engag-
cd in organizing a lodge in Jonesboro of
Knights and Ladies Of Honor. We I'M
derstand that some twenty-five names
have been secured among our best citi.
zens and that the formation of a branch
Of the order here is assured.
The Order, Knights and Ladies of Hon.
or. is a secret benevolent institution, COM
posed of both sexes, and organized into
Supreme, Grand.and~ Subordinate Lodges.
Its objects are briefly set forth in its Su.
premc Lodge Constitution, as follows:
/. To unite fraternally all acceptable
white men and women of any reputable
profession, business or occupation, who
are, over eighteen years of age. IA
q TO give all possible and material aid
In its power to its members, and those de-
pending on Its members, by holding moral
instructive and scientific lectures, by en-
couraging each other in business and by
assisting each other to obtain employ
ment.
g.. To promote benevolence and charity
by establishing a Relief Fund. from which
on satisfactory eyidence of the death of q
member ofthe Corporation, who has com
piled with all its lawful requirements, a
sum not exceeding IS, 900 shall be paid ia
his family, or as he may direct.
4. To provide for creating a fund fol
therelief Of sick and distressed members
Thus 1t is seen that its purposes are hu
name. 1t seeks to protect, aid, and benef'
Its members while living; and when dead
to provide for their dependents, the chill
dren, the parents, the brothers, the sisters
the family. This latter protection, it af
fords through the machinery Of a cooper
alive Mutual Benefit Society. Its benefit
ARE paid upon the same principle and b,
the same methods as those that have beer
In practice for years in the great benevo
lent orders.
The Knights and Ladies were chartered
in1s7S by the State of KY, and in 1885 b.
the State of Missouri. Its original qualif
cations for membership confined 1t to til
members of the Knights of Honor an
their lady relatives until a very recer
date. 1t now offers its advantages to a
of reputable profession, business, or OF
cupation."' 1t now numbers neafl
$1,000 members, distributed in nearly ev
cry State in the Union; with thrice
Grand Lodges, and nearly 1000 Subord
nate Lodges, and has paid out in deaf
, benefits nearly 81, 900, 900. Its mcmbe
ship is about equally divided betwee
the two sexes.
We are told that it seeks to organic
the social elements of the village or tow
into a society which is grand with rich
illustrated lessons of humanity, in its ri
%ualistic work. Its secret work is onl
such as shall protect it from intrusion
and is most dignifcd and instructive.

L
Probably there has never been an out
of door amusement which has taken the
whole country so by storm as baseball
playing has done this season. The skill
exhibited by the experienced players has
attracted crowds of people from long dis.
tances to witness match games, and the
enthusiasm IN anifesled on the field shows
that 1t is not a mock interest or fashion
that has brought them together, but that
1t Is the skillof the players that attracts
such fabulous numbers. The knack of a
skillful pitcher" who sends his ball SO
that itdiverges from straight line after
leaving his hand. and curves in any direc.
ton at the will of the pitcher. SO as to de-.
ceive the chatter" is an attainment which
but a comparatively few have reached. but
1t is n science which every amateur player
would like TO acquire. In another column
is an article, from the Scientific american,
by Mr.. Chadwick, who probably under
standsthe game of baseball as we'll as any
writer on the subject, in which he explains
his theory of the curved ball, which so
MANY have watched with interest and so
few have attempted to explain. If any
one can advance any better theory as to
the way the ball is held or thrust from the
hand, the editor will be glad to hear from
him. iEt.
For the first time this season a Joncsboro
nine was victorious, on Saturday last, over
a club from johnson City. Both mines
were colored. The game was played at
this place and resulted in a score of 40 to
2s,-the home nine playing only eight in,
nings. The boys feel quite elated over
their success, as Johnson City has certain.

MONDAYS SESSION.

hOnbaA bASSAVNs
The State normal opened Monday at
10 a. m. Superintendent Paine was un-
avoidably absent on official duties at
Nashville. This is the first time he has
missed a State institute during the past
two years. His absence is universally re.
GREETED.
Ferty-six were enrolled the first day.
The number will reach go ere the close Of
to day and to. morrow viii develop an at
tendance of at least rs. Already the
teachers manifest much interest in the
| work.
The morning exercises q insisted in an
opening address by cant Garrett, in
which he outlined thss TX of the week;
a brief talk by Prof. Harms on what he
purposed doing in his treatment Of pri-
mary methods; and remarks by Miss Julia
Doak pertaining to the department of
arithmetic. ftrat4 II
The evening session was consumed in
lecturing upon arithmetic and primary
methods, Miss Doak taking arithmetic
and Prof. Harms primary methods.
Miss Doak discussed numbers-how to
write and read them. I can only give a
brief synopsis of what was said. The
unit is the central point of arithmetic,
and 1t is also the starting point. The
worn.ou process of enumerating in order
to read large numbers-4s useless and an
noying. Say we have ], LAG, 1884, 096, 145.
Here is a number of five periods. Sub.
tract two periods for. units and thousands
and three periods are left. Commencing
at millions and counting up three periods
we find the highest period reads one tril.
lion. This is n simple method of reading
large numbers at a glance.
Whole numbers and dccimals should
be taught together. In adding 225 to ID.
the pupil should be taught that 2 unit
arc added to 5 units, A tens to 2 tens, .ant
1 hundred to 2 hundred. In other words
the fundamental operations should b,
performed under the light Of analysis
Miss Doak said many other thing
worthy of mention, of interest to the pro
f~ession. especially to those engaged i
primary teaching, but space and time ar
against my writing them.
Prof. Harms gave the entire audienc
the benefit of an admirable talk on pr
mary methods. All listened. He hold
that methods, however mcritorious, al
worthless in the hands of a poor teacher
"A good teacher succeeds better with poe
methods than a poor teacher with goo
ones. Good methods often fail becau:
of a lax discipline.
:. Methods are not permanent. The &C
