State Normal Mt JonesbOro,

1t gratifies me no little to announce to
the teachers Of this and adjoining coun
ties that a State normal of one week will
be held at Jonesboro, commencing Aug.
2, 1886. Under date of June 18th, the
State superintendent reported the follow
ing as the organization of the normal.
State supt., general supervisor.
County supt., general manager.
Capt. w. II. Garrett, principal and in
structor in history and geography.
Prof. Il. G. Harms, primary methods
and geology Of Tennessee.
Miss Julia A. Doak, arithmetic.
Local teachers will be engaged to finish
the public school curriculum. Capt. Gar.
rett will give an evening or night lecture
in the nature Of a popular address. An
effort will be made to securc profitable
lectures on various educational topics.
So far as tuition is concerned, this nor
nal can be attended without price. Boart
is the chief item Of expense and it can b.
had at reasonable figures. No teacher o.
old Washington can afford to stay away
from Jonesboro and the normal during
the first week in August next.
1t may be proper to state here that the
Washington county normal will follow
the State normal and continue two OF
more weeks. Instructors have not been
engaged for the county normal, but this
matter is under advisement now, as Is
also the matter Of tuition.
Following the county normal will be
the examination of applicants for teach
crs' certificate. This examination will be
conducted with the view of ascertaining
the candidates qualifications and not to
puzzle him. Very respectfully.

Base Ball.

The game between the "Reds" of John
son City and the Jonesboro club Friday
afternoon last resulted in q score of 80 to
10 in favor Of the "Reds."
With the exception of one inning, the
game was a good one, and our boys did
nobly. While the score shows a bad beat
for the home club, it is hardly q fair cri-
terien Of the playing of our boys, because
of the superior trim in which the opposing
club was and other odds against which
they played. Our boys had never played
a practice game. The playing of the
REDS and their organization were ex-
cellent. We have the material, and hope
the home club will strengthen their weak
points and hope for better things in the
future. There is one feature of the game
OF which we are 10th to speak-the dis
satisfaction shown by the Jonesboro club
with the umpire. While it is an undoubt.
cd fact that a large number of decisions
adverse to the home club were made and
which were evidently wrong, we cannot
help thinking that our men were to blame
If their charges are true; for they under
stood how matters stood before the game,
and the best thing they could have done
was to have submitted as gracefully as pos
siblc. The universal comment on the
game, however, is that the home club
would not have been nearly so far behind
If they had not had to play against the
umpire as well as the visiting club. We
append the score:

EDITOR HERALD M TRIBUYE:-One
of the most hopeful signs of the present,
is the public demand for men of good
morals for Office. At no time in our past
history has this demand been more out.
spoken and uncompromising than at the
present. This demand will force the DO.
litical parties to select their best men
for office. 1t is true that in all parties,
there are to be found men of bad morals
and corrupt lives, who have so cntrench.
ed and fortified themselves as to defy OPP
position, but in time they will be dis.
placed by better men, and oncc their hold
is broken, they can never regain it.
There are perhaps a larger number of
men who will break loose from party ties
and vote for good men and against cor.
rupt men, than at any previous time, ant
in doing so, feel that they have not beer
false to party or principal.
There are good men in all parties an(
The people ought to demand that sucl
men shall be put forward for Office. II
do so, is to offer a premium for virtue
and hold out inducements to our young
men 10 practice virtue, and abstain from
vice. Let the press of the county encour
age this thing. Truly,
