An Awful Occurrence.

Near Abueyills. Henry Co, Ala.
on Friday, there was hog killing
on the plantation of Mr.. Charles
Martin. His three little boys.
from 4 to 10 years Of age, were
Interested spectators of the killing
and scalding Of the hogs. After
the work was finished, lare tub
of hot water was lett at the slaught-
or pen. While the men were all IN
the house, the three boys were
playing about the tub. The two
Older ones decided that it would be
a good joke to dip their 4-year-oid
brother In the water as they had
seen the hogs dipped. they did
not know how hot it was, and
plunged the boy in up to his neck.
Before they could get him out he
~ as scalded and died withi1 a fe~
minutes.

as superintendent. it turned out
that he was the very man for the
place. Under his administration
the schools became completely and
grandly organized. Prof Blanton
was aa organizer and had push and
drive that was quite irresistible
He had many of the characteristics
OF Gen. Grant at the head of an
army. He never made mistakes
in selecting his assistants. The
corps ~f teachers under Prof. Blan-
ton were never excelled in any
public tchool, many of whom re-
main, still performing the same
duties. Before done with the mat
ters 1 shall have more to say of our
superintendent as we'll other
teachers. In passing, I may say,
perhaps l have confounded some
high school teacher with the super
intendency. l write purely from
memory.
Just as our new school house be-
Came a fact and our common
>chools began to assume import
ance a new factor entered into the
educational problem. Our cilizens
awoke one morning and found that
Gov. Hardin. and his wife had en-
lowed female college upon such
terms as they though ght wise an in
corporation to own and control
being organized full fedged. This
muniicent public benefcience has
years ago been materiailzed and in
fullest and happiest operation. The
relations between these two Insii-
,ulions of learning ard their intiu-
ence upon each. other will be the
keynote to my next text.

Young Man!
From tn. Il ch =. &. Co nmercial.

From the ch !. E. Co ninefcial.
Young man, when you attempt
10 take undue liberties with a youns
girl, think of home. Think al
your own sister, if you have one.
Suppose some INSCRIPTIONS scoun'
.ireI would thus insult your deas
sister! Would you not resent tht
insult? Of course you would, i
there was one speck of manhood ir
your make up Then have the du'
respect for another mans sister
that you would expect Of him t.
have for yours. We know of Ger
taiI young men who have not beer
conducting themselves as gentle
men in this connection. The,
have taken advantages of unpro,
t-cted vnung ladies'. They are un
worthy of the society of an inno
cent girl. We have no patienc.
with such creatures, and you VIII,
are guilty of such conduct, need no
be surprised at any time to Sc.
your names exposed.
