n AS the tide sets towards Giles
county now, SO will it continue.
1t is the imperative duty of every
man who depends on public patronage
to spend at least q few dollars for
the public benefit,
Every town or county, anywhere,
that attracts attention has to adver
tise itself. How are the people
north to know what we have and
what kind of country this is unless
We tell them?
How are we to spend the money
unless some of US give it2
Who is to give it unless ii be the
men who ask the people for Office
and the men who depend upon pub
lie patronage?
And yet many of them refuse to
aid cent. They live on the pub
lie and when the public asks their
aid they reuse.
The pamphlet being prepared by
The CITIZEN setting forth the re-
sources and describing Giles county

Some forty men have subscribed
TO aid it. There ought to be at
least 200. We must have 100.
Every business man ought to see
what is in it FOX hiu and oome &c
its aid without waiting to be solic--
tied.
Every farmer and citizen of Giles
county ought to chip in and aid US.
No one would undertake it, and
THE CITIZEN is attempting it alone.
We consider it the greatest scheme

Come voluntarily and aid the

Gentlemen, l wish TO cali yoer
attention To the fact that upoa sew
eral occasions this year Young
teachers have been employed who
had no certificates. OF course. thax
were employed upon the supposi
ton that they were qualified, AID
that they would soon obtain Ger
tihcate and no violation of the law
was intended. II you will consider
this right, you will see that It
places the applicant for exam, A.
ton In sn unpleasant situation. as
well as the examiner. If q super
intendant were ever disposed to be-
ienient In his examinations, il

as these, for it would be quite NOR
Itiiying to him and more so to the
applicant for one to fail on exam.
nation after having been employed
by 1.-The directors, and sometimes
after having already taught a week
or more. Although no presumption
is meant upon the part OF the di-
rectors, yet it seems TO the public
like saying: "We have employed
the applicant, now you must give
him a certificate" But according
to my method of making out my
questions for examination before
know whom l am to examine,
if the applicant should be my dear
est friend and fail, l certainly
would refuse certificate. So
would it not be the better plan for
rs to act in every instance accord

we are right and then 60 ahead"
