School Notes.


 Declamatisns and recitatlons next Friday afternoon.
 The attendance in the lower grades was much lower last week owing to bad weather. Parents should not expect progress from students that do not attend regularly.
 The Literary Soclety is now in good working order under the name "Dialectic." The program was car ried out in full last Friday night. The comparative results of the culti- yation of cottcn and of the cereals will be discussed next Friday night, The advantages of 8 Literary So clety connected with school are well known. All who desire to be instructed or are interested in Liter ary work are invited to attend. The officers of the Dialetic Soci- ety are: President, M. H. Baird; {; Vice president, A. E. Lee; Secretary, Miss Matte Battenfield; Censor, J. M Hughey; Treasurer, Miss Dora Fuller; s. at A., Wm. Patrick.
 Most people get thelr knowledge of what is done in school from thelr children. They would not think of sending child ten or twelve years old to a cotton mill or shoe factory, and having him report on the gener al management of the concern, the efficiency of the superintendent, and the quality of the work done. But they will place implicit confidence in the judgement of little boy of 8 teachers work in training the human mind. This is very generally done even by the most intelligent parents.
 What IS the purpose of an educa. tion2 This is answered by asking: What IS the purpose of human life? If the end Of life is to satisfy materl- al wants, to procure something to eat and wear, then the purpose of education is to teach boys and girls to get learning that they may be able to eat, drink, clothe themselves and gratify thelr appetites-to be come civilized savages. Shall we not learn for learning's sake-to know for the delight knowing gives, to be good, noble, useful, true, God like, we'll informed for tue delight and joy 1t will give us. Should we not desire to know more of the world, to travel, invent, to do good, to be civilized in the best sense.
 Parents should feel willing for their children to make haste slowly in the first years at school and not crowd into new books too rapidly. Our present course of study provides for one year in each grade and the entering of the high school at four teen. Regular attendance and prop CT encouragement will secure prompt and sufficiently rapid promotions from grade to grade.
 It is those who fall to pass that spend too much time in the same text books.

HeartrendIng Mishaps.

A few days ago in Henry county, Ala. there was a big hog killing on the plantation of Charles Martin His little sons, four, six and nine years old, were interested spectators Of the process of scalding hogs. When the men had left the slaughter pen the older boys decided they would dip their little brother in the tub as they had seen the hogs dipped. The water was hot and the little fellow was scalded before they could get him out. He lived only about five minutes after he was lifted from the hot water.
 The wife of James Ralph of Lawndes county, Ala, has been placed in the Insane asylum at Tus- caloosa, having become suddenly insane on the subject of religion. Sunday night at church she knocked the minister down with hymn book, stampeded the congregation and the next day tried to kill her husband to offer him up as q burnt sacrifice to the Lord. On the train she preached sermon and closed by knocking four mem down before she could be overpowered.
 Wild hogs entered the cabin of B farmer near Arbucke, in the Chica saw nation, the 10th, and devoured little child which was alone in the house, the family being a short dis ance in the cotton field. The child was five years old and when the mother returned to the house the little body had been almost entirely deyoured. The parents are crazed with grief.

 The past five days have been very spring like and as though corn plant ing would be In order.
 We are glad to relate that health in our locality is good, and the indi cations are that we will have pros porous year. The late opening of cotton has enabled most of our farm CTS to get out of debt, so we have started into the new year with a zest that means better times.
 Our present school is an increas- Ing success.
 So, with the growing interest in that direction, our healthy location, good water and pure air, we expect to run good school, which is an in' ducement to substantial, education loving citizens to settle and remain among us. Our little town is on nc special boom, but steadily advancing to higher plane ot enterprise anu general industry.

 MT. E. B. Bayliss, who has been in Texas several months, has re- turned.
 About dozen men, who live in the north west part of the county, were delayed here all last week, by the bayou being too high to ford. The convenience of the public cer. tainly demands the bridging of that stream.
 The patrons of the Dover public school held meeting on the night of the 2l inst and took preparatory steps towards establishing high school here.

Beware of oIntments for Catarrh
that contain Mercury.

as Mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering 1t through the muscus surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable phvsici- ans, as the damage they will do are ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and muscus surfaces of the sys- tenn.

The JOYOUS News was Life to Him.

The Russian sculptor and Socialist,
Kamenski, who, for sixteen years, has
found a refuge in the United States, at
tracts attention by the depth of a scar
over his right eyebrow. The scar is not
connected with some romantic tale of
Siberian horror. It is the result OF a
kick of a Kansas mule. No little sur
prise was created at the time that it did
not cause instant death. It came, how
ever, very near doing SO. The sculptor
was taken up unconscious, and when his
reason returned he was told he was about
to die. In q semi-comatose state he made
his last will and awaited the end. Mean
while Y e the wires flashed the news of
the assassination of Gear Alexander. A
friend who knew Kamenski's principles
vowed he should not die without hearing
the news, and, evading the doctor in at
tendance, she cautiously stole to his bed
side and whispered in his ear the fate OF
the autocrat. The fast chilling blood
became warmed and pulsed gleefully
through the feeble heart, life was re-
newed and Kamenski recovered.-1he
