fairs.
The schools are all in a prosperous
condition. The one at Campbell's Insti.

ladies, Miss Ella Strain, appeals for itself
to the hearts and consciences Of its pat
rons, stronger than words can put it, to
only'give our deserving young ladies a
chance and if the world is not bettered it
is but a lack Of appreciation on the

Harper's Magazine for March,


Opens with a graphic description Of
Krupp's gun.making establishment at
Essen, by Moncure d. Conway. effective,
Iy and amply illustrated. The subject IS
one of exceptional interest because this is
the largest manufacturing establishment
under private management in the world,
employing over 20, 600 men and owning
474 mines; because of the social features
connected with Krupp's provision for the
comfort Of his workmen and the educa.
ton of their children; and because the
attention of all nations is especially
directed to the manufacture Of heavy
ordnance. The article takes its place
naturally in the series begun by M'Clel-
lan's article on The Militia and the
Army" continued in Sir Edward Reeds
on The British Navy" and to be still
further extended in future contributions.
Miss Woolson's novel, East Angels
now approaches its conclusion, and the
reader interest is wholly absorbed in
the heroic character of Margaret. A
portrait of the author, printed separately
on plate paper, is one of the features OF
this Number.
Edmund Kirkc contributes an interest
ing article on the city of Cleveland
which is s%umptuously illustrated.
G. II. Farnham continues his Canadian
articles with an entertaining paper on
Cape Breton Folk" beautifully illus
trated by A. B. Frost-one of the engrav-
ings, "'The Open-air Sacrament, having
the place of honor as the frontispieCe to

with the Afghan Boundary Commits
sion is the title of an interesting Central.
Asian sketch by William Simpson, with
illustrations by the author.
She stoops to Conquer ID continued
with more of Mr.. Abbey's charming H.
lustrations.
David Ker, contributes a very instruc.
tive and valuable description Of the re.
sources and opportunities of the tire,
great river valleys Of Africa-thosc of the
Nile, the Niger, and the Congo. A gooC
map accompanies the paper.
A series of papers, especially interest
ing TO the owners Of small holdings Of
land, under the title of The Home
Acre by L. P. Roe, is begun in thi.
Number.
Mr.. Hugh Daiziel's paper on Dog
and their Management is as useful as i
is imely. The author is a recognized
authority on this subject.
On the whole the Number is one o
unusual strength and attractiveness.

a Letter to the Public School Teachers of
Washington County.
We send you greeting, Your work
for the present scholastic year is near
completion. In many cases that work
will receive the proper estimate of your
patrons, in some it, will not, in a con-
siderable number Of instances the verdict
of your patrons will strike pleasantly
upon the ear, yet in some harsh will be
the decisions.
You labor under many adverse cir
cumstances. You are poorly paid, some
times poorly encouraged by the citizens
Of the locality in which you labor
Parents fail to have their children attend
school regularly, too much is expected of
you in Ave months, and many other
things conspire against your success.
But in spite of all this you are, on the
whole, doing good work, and you may
be sure that right thinking people vii
stand by you, and see that you are better
supported in the future.
We want to say a few words concern
ing our next Institute. The Boon's
Creek Seminary is strongly urged as the
place for the next Institute. A shor'
time after the Leesburg Institute, W.
promised Prof. c. B. Armentrout, a live
young teacher, that Oak Dell, in Distric
No. 3, should be the scene of the mex
education revival"
Our esteemed correspondents from
Boon's Creek are, therefore, too late il
presenting their request. Our promisr
was made prior to the reception of their
request. Come to Oak Dell the seconC
Friday and Saturday in March.
Programme next week.

Rev. j. W. Whitlock

This faithful and esteemed Pastor Of
the Baptist Churches at Jonesboro and
Johnson City, after a lingering and pro
tracted illness, died at his residence in
this place last Saturday night. He had
V1ited here about two years, and though
unwell a greater part Of the time, he con-
tinued to discharge his Pastoral duties
with such fidelity and humility as to en-
dear himself to all the people, where he
was known irrespective of Church or
denomination.
A good man is gone to his rest, and the
widow and three orphan boys have the
heartfelt sympathy Of the entire commun-
ity in this sad bereavement. .
Mr.. Whitlock was a native of Granger
county, was 80 years old, and was buried
beside Rev. VIM. Cate, the builder and
first Pastor of the present Jonesboro
Baptist Church.

mated he will make a strong race and if
elected a splendid Sheriff.
