Prof. Laird.

AS I drove into Franklin, several
hundred Yards, before my attention
was attracted by the hustle of the
towns business, I noticed very hand
some two.story building resting on a
considerable hill in magnificent grove
of musical pines.
A schoolhouse-a splendid and pros
porous looking schoolhouse lay before
me.
It was the Franklin Collegiate Insti-
tute, a school we'll known in western
Georgia. : + 4 brighter, buster
set Of boys and girls 1 have not seen.
In their keeping the future of Franklin
is radiant with hope. The institute
building contains three elegantly
equipped recitation rooms down stairs,
and has in the upstairs a commence
ment hall with a seating capacity of
seven hundred. The principal Of the
institute, Prof. 4. S. Laird, is young
man whose qualifications entitle him
to rank among the foremost Of Geor-
gia's teachers. He has had five years
Successful experience, and is doing val
liable work for this institute. He is a
graduate both of the Newberry College,

Railroad Racket.

It is rumored that the Richmond
and Danvilte railroad authorities will
in short time run the train that IS
now r'n from Prosperity to Anderson
through. to Columbia. This would be
quite convenience to the travelling
public, and very likely we could get a
mail service on it which would add
greatly to the mail service for New
berry. :,
Then there is also g. rumor that the
Laurens train between Laurens and
Columbia will be extended to Green
Vile. The distance from Laurens to
Greenville is only 81 miles, and with
the track from here to Laurens put in
good condition, the distance to Green
Vile could be made in very nearly the
same time that it now takes TO run to
Laurens. We would be glad to have
the authorities to put into 'orce these
two proposed improvements in our pas
senger service. It would give US six
passenger trains daily between Column
5ia and Greenville.

enquiry and learned that it was the
body of Mrs J. +. Turner, who died in

her husband to take her remains to her

upon he had her body embalmed and
brought to her family. This young
girl grew up here and was known as
the pretty Maria Chappell." She
often attracted henotice of our citizens

We are informed that two gentle
