Teachers Institute.


Madison District Teachers Institute
held It's last session for this school term at
Union Forge, March IS, 1893.
Owing to the lowering weather, the at
tendance was rather small. The patri-
archal presence of our esteemed Trustee,
Mr. Bowers, being especially missed, yet
a quite interesting session was held.
The meeting was called to order by
Pros. F. NJ. Fravel, and, on motion, the
compound question, Methods Of teach.

stage at which the study of that branch
should be begun" previously assigned by
programme committee to Prof J. Monroe

audience the benefit of his extended obser
yation and experience in teaching this
rather dry subiect-emphasizing particu
larly the point: "Be slow and thorough
so as to accomplish something definite
and combine analysis and parsing con
tinually, once that stage OF the subject II
reached"
The further discussion was joined II
earestly by teachers-Miss Alice Coffelt
and Messrs Perry KILLER of the Columbia
Graded School, F. d. Jennings, A. P

Mill and Barn Destroyed by Fire.

About l o'clock on Tuesday morning a
disastrous fire occurred on the river near
Maurertown. about five or six miles
northeast of this place. Mr.. jeremiah
Bauserman, who lives within a very
short distance Of the Farmers Mil"
had fed and attended to bis horses and
cattle IN the evening as usual leaving
them penned IN the stables. About
midnight he discovered the roof Of his
barn in flames and that the stock had all
been turned out. 1t was at once appar-
ent that the barn and contents we're
doomed and all efforts were directed to
save the Farmers Mill, " which was
situated about hundred yards or more
from the barn and directly in the direc-
ton of the wind. In spite Of hard work
the mill was soon burning and with its
contents and several email sheds and out
building fell prey to the flames. MI.
BausermAn's loss is pretty heavy upon
which there is an insurance of $500 in a
home company. The mill, we learn, be-
longed to Mr.. SYram HauseDflnck and
was valuable property. His loss must
be very heavy but we have not heard any
estimate, and also are unable to state
whether it was insured or not. AS far
as we can learn the origin of the fire is a
mystery, although some are positive that
it was the work Of an incendiary.
P. S.-Since the above was in type we
learn that the fire was undoubtedly OF
incendiary origin, as Mr.. Bauserman had
haltered all his stock in the stables, and
found them turned out when the Ere was
first discovered. All his wheat, hay
harness, farming implements, &C., were
DESTROYED. His loss is no less than 81, 0OC
upon which there is an insurance Of
$500. Mr.. Syrum Hausenfluck slept in
the Office of the mill and was witt
difficulty awakened by parties from thu
outside. lie got out only short time
before the roof and floors fell in. HI
had $500 IN money in desk in the Office
and in the excitement of escaping it wal
overlooked and lost in the flames. Tit
mill and contents were insured for oDl!

CHRISTIAN ENDBAvER WORK.
The Third Annual Convention Opens
at Augusta Friday.

The Third Annual Convention Opens
at Augusta Friday.
AUGUSTA, GA, Jan. Ton next Friday
there will assemble in Augusta the third
annual convention of the Georgia State
Union Of the Young Peoples Societies of
Christian Endeavor. The convention will
be called to order Friday afternoon, and
will be 10 session the remainder of that day
and on Saturday and Sunday. lt will be
one OF the most interesting gatherings of
the year, and several hundred delegates are
expected to be in attendance.
There are 10S societies in Georgia and
each is expected to send delegates. This
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor, though unfamiliar to many per-
sons in the south. is well known throughout
the country, and has good membership
in Georgia 1t is just what its name i'm.
plies, a society Of Christian endeavor and
the idea OF its founder was to put young
members of the church to work for the
church, and thus let them grow In useful
ness and happiness as church members. 1t
pledges it's members TO do what Christ
would have them do, and to attend the
church services in their own church when
ever practicable. It does not interfere
with denominations and does not strive
church. Its field is simply to
educate young church members in church
work and to make them valuable and INTEL
lgent members Of their own church In
the decade its membership has grown TO
j, 100, 600 aud there are societies on both
hemisrheres. At the international conven-
tion in New York last summer there were
over $4,000 delegates in attendance.
The local union in Augusta hopes every
society In the state will be represented at
the convention in this city, and urge upon
every society the importance of sending
delegates. They will be cared for upon
their arrival, but will facilitate matters by
writing at once TO J. r. Potts, chairman OF
the entertainment committee Augusta, and
notifying him Of the number of their dele
CATION and the time Of their arrival in
Augusta
