GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR NURSES.

Arrangements have been made with the au-
thorities of the City Hospital in Savannah for
the establishment Of a School for Training
Young Women who desire to tit themselves for
the profession of nursing
Many of the Physicians and other prominent
residents of this city are interested in the sue.
cess of the enterprise, and are DESTROYS of secur
ing skilIful and accomplished nurses for the
sick. both in private families and in public insti
tutions.
The profession is an honorable one, as much
so for women as that of medicine for men. The
great success of the training schools in the
Northern States leads the founders of this school
to hope that educated women of earnest pur-
pose will give themselves here also to this
full work, which, though involving some per
sonal sacrifice, amply repays in interest, and
will secure for them sufficient and independent
support They propose beginning with lin
tied number of pupils, and intend increasing this
number as the demand for trained and skilful
nurses may necessitate it.
The school proposes to give thorough course
of instruction, furnishing the graduates with
certificates of ability, which will enable them to
readily secure positions for the care of the sick.
BOARD AND LODGING WILL BE PROVIDED
FREE, AND NO CHARGE MADE FOR
TUITION.
Those wishing to avail themselves of this OPP
portunity will please apply for further informa-
ton to the Secretary of the Society,

Rival Aspirants Find Neither Press
Nor People at Their Back.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 25-The Presi-
dental campaign may be considered well
under way, Gen. Diaz being the leading
candidate More than fifty interior news
papers have come out IN favor of his re-
election and a number of Diaz clubs
have been organized in different parts
of the republic The candidacy of Gen.
Escohsdo has apparently received no sup
port i'll the country and the various other
candidates menuone from time to time do
not manage to secure backing in the press
or among the people. 1t is generally con-
coded that Gen. Diaz will succeed himself.
The general opinion of the press supporting
him is that he has effected so many
reforms during the first three years
of his present term and has so
many other important measures on foot
that it would not be wise TO change rulers
The army and Freemason organs strongly
support him. The Clerical PARTY has not
put forward any candidate against him
The election will take place next June The
term is four years, and begins Dec. l.

gold coins of smaller denomination. A
little round mirror occupied the centre of

small silver coins. The lad gave his name

city from his Greene county plantation to
get provisions, etc. The recent rains had
made the roads 50 rough that they were de-

fore leaving, and after several drinks apiece
the party started out for night OF fun.
They commenced by breaking furniture in
their boarding house. The cid negroes who
keep the place sent for the police,
and as soon as the negroes
saw the blue coats they gathered up hand
full of rocks and started for them. The po-
lice stood their ground and finally captured
them. Irwin Williams swore to the police
that if they locked him up in the station
house he would break the iron cages in
pieces. Mr.. Carlton happened TO be in the
city TO-DAY, and got his negroes ont, and
sent them home rejoicing.
