Another "Reminiscences of DR.. Trimble.

We first saw DR.. Trimble just before
the war, at the M. E. Conference that
met here, and held a large outdoor
meeting on Sunday, in the Menager orch.
ard, on Third street. Bishop Simpson
and DR.. Trimble preached that day, and
we will never forget how beautifully the
Doctor sang the hymn:
"When this poor body
Lies mouldering in the tomb,
And soft winds gently sigh
Ger its quiet home," &c.
Tall and commanding, with full re.
sonant voice, we though as we listened
to him, that he had made great mis-
take in circumscribing his powers by
entering the ministry. That was when
we were twenty years old or less. At
this time we feel that there were none
created too big for the pulpit, the only
pity being that so many small guns get
into it.-GaNipolis Journal

Uncle Sam Buys 1t.

On May 7, 1891, the contract for sup
plying the U. S. Army with baking
powder was again awarded the Cleve-
land Baking Powder Co. The fact that
the Government requisition calls for
baking powder "equal in quality to
Cleveland's" is a high tribute to the
great merit of the powder. Cleveland's
ia the standard.

Water Works Sure.

A match game of base ball has been
arranged in which the lawyers are to
play the doctors and dentists on Thurs
day afternoon. Full sets of mines have
been signed on both sides with plenti-
full supply of substitutes for any vacan-
cies that may occur during the course of
the game. As the gate proceeds, after
the payment of expenses and salaries,
are to be applied to the building Of
water works the game will no doubt be
popular and we'll patronised.

SOMETHING DROPPED.
School Examiners Cannot Teach in an
Institute in Their Own County.

Among other laws passed by the re.
cent Legislature is one governing the
appointment of school examiners. Ac-
cording to the Kean law introduced by
Hon. R. G. Kean, of Carroll county, it is
provided that the Probate Judge shall
not appoint to the office OF School Exam
iner any person who does not possess
the proper qualification and good NOR
al character; neither any person who is
interested in or connected with any nor
NAL school for the special training of
teachers, or any other private school, or
instructor in d;sy institute in his o,Un county.
Also that at least two of the Board shall
be, or shall have been within five years,
actual teachers in properly recognized
schools, and that it shall be peremptory
with the Probate Judge to remove ex-
aminers for any of the disqualifcations
cited above.
The passage of this law was urged by
DR.. Hancock, State School Examiner,
and by other prominent educators, vet
it is doubtful if it will meet with very
hearty approval among the rank and file
of the teachers. twill OF course increase
the demand for foreign instructors TO
work in summer county institutes, from
the fact that at least three of the leading
educators in each county will be by the
law debarred from acting. If the county
examiners are selected with sole refer.
ence to their fitness. the Board will he
filled by the leading practical teachers in
the county. There are manifest reasons
why any teacher having a proprietary
or financial interest in normal school
should be disqualified for the position of
examiner. But if instructors in insti-
tutes are to be excluded, it is difficult to
see why teachers in the public schools
should not come under the same objec-
ton.
There is possibility of favoritism,
whether conscious or unconscious, ,wher.
ever the applicant is student or former
| student of the examiner, but the objec.
ton should lie against the institute in.
structor no more than against the high
school teacher whose pupil is preparing
to teach. Without thorough knowl
edge of the history OF the bill or the rea
sons that were urged in its passage, il
seems evident to us that one of its first
effects will be to shut out the best quail
ified home instructors from participation
in county institute work. Whether the
prominent educators had this in view
when they urged the passage of the bill
cannot be said, but may be surmised
Certain it is that they will greatly prof
by its effects.

When William Window died
there was shut out from view a
man who, during the long years
he was member of Congress, Sen

in our midst but in which some
tender word of prayer or remark
was made last Sunday, for the
grand and good man. History
will record that he had the con-
fdence and respect OF our race
from sea to Sea. HIS widow and
the family will be glad no doubt
when they learn, that with the

their honored dead is in the gal.
