Kelly Says,

That the present electric cars remind him of the old JuggernAuts of India. which were the means of furnishing death to people who believed that the gods demanded self-sacrifice. When you see the car couplers project two feet ahead of the car and a coupling pin pointing down about ten inches below. it makes you shudtier to think of the effect it would have on an in- dividual who was struck by them. There is nothing to save a person from being cut in two by this pin and afterwards being disembewled under the car. Kelly sug- gests the removal of this coupling when not in use and in its place put a basket net. used similar to a covcatcher, so that when a person was struck they would fall into the net and thereby escape a horrible death. Let the Traction follow Kelly's advice and you will save life and money. And if you had taken ce on June 2 and bought granulated sugar at A.I2 per hundred you would not now have to pay s4.s7. Indications point to an advance in few days if ''Grover" signs the bill. And when the people of Waterbury can buy St Louis Flour for $3.25. washburn Crosby < Co.'S s4.10. Pillsbury's Best s4. 35. These are all new ground flour, that are sold by every merchant in town.
 If you want -four that was ground and put in storage last January. that makes more bread. vhiter bread and the bread that will keep moist longer, you will pay as follows: Pillsbury's Best 4.75; Niagars Falls s4.75-if you will give my man an empty barrel.
 The B. NJ. 0. Flour is the easiest workel of any four that was ever milied. My egg, and butter come high. but I handl. nothing but the best.

AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
One of the South's Most Popular
Scholastic Work It Is Doing.

The next session of this noted boarding
and day school for young ladies, COM
mences on Sept. 5, next.
Already applications for catalogues are
being received, and the promise is of an
other prosperous year.
The past year has been one of wide
spread financial depression, but notwith-
standing this fact, the institute has had a
prosperous year.
No school in the south has enjoyed more
constant and brilliant success than the
Agnes Scott, and the causes of this sue
cess are evident.
l. Its location in North Georgia is I'M
rivaled; the local surroundings are idea,
Decatur having long been noted for its re-
fined, educated and religious society.
2 A large and accomplished corps OF
trained and experienced teachers, each
member of the faculty having been Sc
'lected for his or her character and special
qualifications for the chair occupied.
3 Thorough work. The utmost effort
is made TO do thorough teaching, and no
careless or antiquated methods are used.
None of the officers or teachers have any
financial interest in the management of
the institute, and each teacher is able to
give her or his entire time and undivided
and disiuterested attention to the work of
instructing. Pupils not making satisfac-
tory progress, o. not improving their
time, are not allowed to waste the money
of parents by further attendance.
The curriculum is already high 1t is
rigidly pursued, and is being steadily ad-
vanced as the school grows in years II
is the desire and aim of trustees and fac
ulty to place the Agnes Scott as the
leader in elevating the standard of te-
male education in the south.
The special departments, as music and
art, are well equipped and under charge
of skilled specialists, are fully abreast of
the times and the best schools
4. The low scale of fees, these having
been fixed, not with the view of money
making, but simply to cover current ex-
penses, repairs and equipment.
D. The superb buildings were con.
structed especially for school purposes,
after the best approved plans They are
all of brick, heated by steam, lighted by
electricity, scientifically ventilated, and
supplied throughout with hot and cold
water and fire hose
Applications for catalogues, general in
formation, etc, should be addressed 10
