this district, for a time at least.


Personally we have nothing
against the proposed teachers and
regard them as worthy. and, so far
as we know, competent; but we do
think that it is quite time that a
little attention be paid to the de-
sires of the patrons of the schools,
and a little more regard shown to
the proper expenditure of the chill
dren's money than has sometimes
been done In this district; for We
could, If necessary, cite instances
where incompetent teachers have
been employed and more than one
free school a miserable farce.
And in conclusion we would sug-
gest that the directors of the differ.
ent districts swop teachers OF
schools with each other. 1t would
not look so disgusting to disinter.
ested persons, nor produce so much
bad temper among unsuccessful and
disappointed applicants.

BIG GULLY,

On the oath of April there was a
Teachers Institute held at How.
ards School House in the 1st dis
trict, at which County Superinten-

following teachers were in attend
ance: J. T. Hargis, w. H. Tedford,
Thos. Robbins, Miss Ruth Ross, G..
w. Ross, VIM. McCully and Prof.
A. S. Dewberry.
Various matters on the subject OF
education were very ably discuss
ed by the different teachers and
Superintendent. There was quite
a good turnout of the patrons and
friends of the school. The ladies'
as usual, had brought dinner, and
think after all had been amply sat.
isfied with the good things there
might have been twelve baskets OF
fragments taken up.
1 have not time to give even a
synopsis of the speeches made by
the learned Professors. Suffice il
to say that the occasion was a sue.
cess: and while all did we'll, l
would make special mention OF
Prof. Dewberry's efficiency in draw
ing maps of the States.
There was a night session, at
which a compulsory education law
was debated by ]. G. Howard, w,
B. Gray, Prof. Dewberry and 9th.
ers. Supt. Gamble delivered an ad.
dress to teachers and directors, at.
ter which the Institute adjourned

DESCRIPTION AND PEDI-
GREE OF DANDY JACK, SR.
Dandy Jack, Jr., is fine mahog.
any bay stallion, 15Hs hands high;
weighs l,040 lbs; with unusual sym
etry, bone and power. He has to
be seen to be appreciated. He trOt-
ted in his younger days in 2:3S. He
trotted at Atlanta, Ga, in 2:321hs
but not winning the race, did not
get record.
Dandy Jack was bred in Ver-
mont; was sired by Sherman Black
Hawk, alias the North Horse (the
sire of Gen. Knox, who has sired
Lady Maud, record 2:lSL, and
Camors, 2:l9A y he by the world re-
nOwned Hill Black Hawk, (sire of

1t will be seen by this that Dandy
Jack is closely related to many OF
the most wonderful trOtting horses
in the world. Dandy Jacks colts
bring large prices in market; I sold
two four year old colts got by him,

"High-handed Nepotism. -"

The Free-schOol system in Ten.
nessee has been and perhaps will
continue to be fraught with disad-
vantages and Inconvenience that
will occasionally produce friction
and contentious between the Dr.
rectors and patrons of the schools,
however well and faithfully the
Directors may strive to discharge
their several duties. But 1t seems
that the people of the fourteenth
district of this county have good
reason for dissatisfaction with their
board of Directors. N
Before stating the situation let
me premise by saying that 1 have
"no axe to grind" 1 have never
taught school, nor do I ever ex-
pect to do so. I have no friends
who want to teach in this district
SO far as / know, nor have I chill.
dren to send to school; so 1 hope /
may not be accused Of being an in
terested party. sawFa@
A majority Of the Directors, /. e.
two of them, met, without consult
ing the third, and apportioned out
their schools among their own fam
lilies and immediate friends, giving
GOOD SHARE to the sons and
daughters of their respective fami-
lies, disposing of the school nearest
the absent director (who is himself
a patron) without his knowledge
and consent, to a member of one of
their own families. When the alb
sent director afterwards asked of
another that one of his friends be
given the school nearest him he
was told that it had been given to
-, but that probably his friend
could have No.; he added, how
ever, after moments reflection,
that "that would knock Mr. out
and his father would rear if he did
not get it." 90
, 1t was also decided at the same
meeting that they would pay TWEEN.
ty-seven dollars and fifty cents pei
month for first grade certificates
(There is a creditable report that
they first decided to pay thirty dol.
lars.) 1t being in the family, so te
speak, it would make no difference
when just as good or better teach
ers were wanting the schools al
twenty-five dollars per month.
! The patrons of one of the schools
we are informed, met in convention
and petitioned the directors for an
other teacher, but we are also in
, formed that the petition was un
, needed. n N

you talk to a secessiOnist he will

will step up and vote for separation.
When a man acts that way / can

I believe If man is good Union

we would be involved in war before

slider every secessionist an abetor

secession there would be no war.
For my part think the war is un-
called for. / want you to under
stand that am not a Lincoln man,
but he was constitutionally and le-
gally elected. 1t was plenty time
to rebel when he violated the con-
stitition, but instead they did not
wait till he came into power. AS
soon as they found out he was
elected they took possession Of all
the public property that was within
the limit of the seeding states.
They begun fixing hostile batteries
and making preparations for the
threatened war all the time and
still it is Lincoln's war. When he
came into power he pledged him.
self to protect the public property
that was in possession Of the gov
eminent, to collect the revenues
and carry the mails for the seeded
states at the expense of the govern
ment. He asked to only hold nOmi.
nal possession of Fort Sumpter and
furnish it with provisions and lei
time and the ballot box decide the
issue.
When they well knew there
would be no other steps taker
without further notice given they
came out in open rebellion in viola
ton of the constitution and all law

took it from the few that were no
