EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The schools in this county are COOL, in
deed, probably better attended and taught
than ever before.
We know of one little town in the coun-
~ that furnishes three teachers, with a
promise of another.
We find that the bill to pay teachers OF
the state quarterly did not pass, but are
glad to know that we have larger fund
this year than before. These are the fig
ures: Georgia state school fund, 1889
was $400, sos. IA. Georgia state school fund
1890 was $643, 420.l4, sum for 1891 will be
about 81, l24 100000. So from above fig,
ures, it is expected that each child will re-
ceive about S.. 90 for entire time this year.
How is your pulse on the Institute for
the 7th ofMarch next? Be sure to attend
for it is important. For it matters not
how great and complete the educational
qualifications of an individual teacher, they
are at loss in the school room if inexpe-
rienced.
Who has the most perplexing trials, cou-
pied with the need of sympathy? The

Let everybody who is interested attend
the Institute and strive to lace our work.

ENGLISH LIBERALS.

LONDON, Dec. 11-Four hundred of the
rural delegates to the national Liberal fed
Grafton conference, which opened yester-
pay in Memorial hall, Harrington street,
partook of breakfast this morning, at
which the principal guest was Mr.. Glad
stone. The great Liberal leader was ac-
companisd by his wife. When Mr.. and
Mrs. Gladstone entered the great room in
which the breakfast was given, there Was
n scene of great enthusiasm. The dele
gates rose to their feet, and. with one
voice, cheered their leader
After the delegates and their guests had
partaken of breakfast, Mr. Gladstone adj
dressed them. He said that he was re-
joiced to see that the conference was at
tended with unity, moderation and
decision, which he declared. were the sure
precursors of victory. Mr. Gladstone said
that he thought the time had come for the
commencement of continuous efforts to
bring about rural reforms, and, he added
these efforts ought not to terminate un-
til their just ends had been attained.
Speaking of the subject of labor Mr.
Gladstone said that the labor question
bad a wide range. Home rule was part
of the labor controversy, as the bulk of
those in whose behalf they were strugg-
ling were lRborers or small farmers. The
condition of the rural laOorers was a most
urgent question. The proof of this state
menu lay III Tue COHSldub UllSTdtlOu Oh bDe
laborers. Every endeavor ought to be
made to keep the laborers at home He
hoped to see labor candidates for seats in
parliament increase IN number, and they
ought not to be saddled with frightful
election expenses.
Mr.. Gladstone urged the abolition Of
the law against conspiracy. This law, lie
said, had given rise to proceedings that
were adverse to the liberties of the people.
Speaking with particular reference to this
law, Mr.. Gladstone said: I'VE must pro.
vide for the rural population of Great
Britain, as well as for the same class in
Ireland. Nothing must be a crime which
relates TO the prosecution of labor inter-
ests, or because it is done by a combina-
tion of men, unless it is an offense against
the letter and spirit of lawn
Mr. Gladstone strongly advocated that
parish councils should see that schools
and dwellings were in proper sanitary
condition. He said that some scheme
ought 10 be devised 10 offer the laborer
after long aud blameless life something
better than the workhouse. Until that
was done society would not have dis
charged its duties, and the aims of the
present conference would not be fully at
tained.

The Field for the Inventor.

In the realm Of machinery and manu-
facture the inventor is yet but entering
upon his infancy. Many millions of dol
lars have been reaped and are to be ac-
cumulated by the inventor in machinery
who understands the complicated needs
of humanity The central idea in this
work is to reduce labor, expense and
time to the lowest point, and so to econo-
mize in the use of material that there
will be no absolute waste. To enter
upon this field of invention one cannot
trust to accident and happy luck, but he
must first thoroughly acquaint himself
with the laws of dynamics and mechau-
les, so that he can appreciate an i'm
provement when it is suggested to his
mind.-George E. Walsh in New York

why q Mosquito Bite Hurts.

Humboldt, who was firm believer in
the poisonous nature Of the mosquito
bite, considered the sucking out of the
poison to be the explanation Of the pain
lessness of come wounds. He affirmed
that if the insect were allowed to suck
to safety no swellings took place, AID
no pain was left behind, and considered
that when pain was produced it resulted
from the hasty interruption OF the proc
ess of sucking, since then the last in
fused poison would not be able to be
