Prot. J. c. Harris has rendered his resig.

| Prot. j. c. Harris has rendered his resig-
| nation as one of the associate principals of
the Male Academy and Harwood Semina-
ry, to take place about the 10th of August.
This will necessitate the election OF new
principal for the Male Academy Prot
Harris mas accepted the principalship of
the public schools of Cedartown, that town
being his old home, and where his father
and mother live. 1t is source of deep
regret to the citizens of Marietta and the
patrons OF the school that he has taken this
step. He has given eminent satisfaction
as a teacher and built up the school to a
fine patronage. He has the tact to teach
he understands human nature,-how to
steer clear of breakers, smooth rough
places and keep down dissensions He is
good organizer and disciplinarian, and
besides a perfect gentleman. We give
him up with reluctance. He leaves a
place that he could retain, il he so willed
it. From general expression of Trustees
and patrons there will evidently be no
change in the Presidency of HARDWOOD
Seminary, Prot J. s. Stewart remaining
in charge.
THE children's picnic from Atlanta last
Saturday was largely attended. Kenne>

ones and their grown attendants. All
wanted to climb to the summit, and many
did. The day was clear and bright, and
distance lent enchantment to the view"
as they took in the surrounding country
and scenery. The cars brought the crowd
to Marietta about noon, and they went out
to Browns Park and took dinner. Many
strolled over the city. The balloon ascen-
sion did not take place, owing to the fact
that Mr. Haven few days previous was
badly injured at East Point in balloon
ascension. The crowd enjoyed themselves
nicely. A splendid band of music was
along
