The Education Of Teachers.

A teachers department WAS recent
ly organized in the State University
at Knoxville. 1t is growing rapidly
and is patrenized by teachers OF both
sexes from all parts of tho State. The
main Object is to prepare we'll trained
teachers for the primary and second
AIRY schools OF Tennessee, though thOre
is an advanced course TO prepare for
higher work. Under the late law for
that purpose, secondary schools are
being extensively organized, but there
10 = great lack of qualified teachers.
The State University is doing its part
to meet this new demand. Everybody
in the State has share in the enter
prise. Good schools will build up the
country everywhere. The term opens

AS the time draws near for the city
election the citizens are looking
around for candidates for the various
positions. In doing this the interest
of the town should always be looked
after, and, parties with the natural
qualifications to fill the place should
always be selected, men with good
sound judgment. good business quail
tiles, and one that knows the wants
and wishes of The people and will carry
them out to the best advantage to the
largest number. Various names have
been mentioned for the position OF
mayor, among them our distinguished
townsman, John w. Cameron. OF all
the able men of the city we know OF
no one that could better fill the may

than John Cameron. Having always
lived among our people he knows the
wants of all and no man could poll o
larger complimentary vote than he.

towards the withdrawal OF all the

she is to be repaired and again put in
commission.
Steps were taken yesterday by the
department in the transfer of officers
whose sea duty soon expires from the
Bennington to the Chicago, which
indicates that the latter vessel will
probably soon be ordered home. Her

will be joined by some of the ships

most probable successor OF the Chicago
rs flagship of the European station
The policy OF the department. to keep
but few vessels on this station, where
there is seldom occasion for q display
of naval force, will prevent more than
two more ships being assigned thil
year to join the Bennington. One o.
these will probably be the Detroit OF

of repairs of the Atlanta early ir

A VALUABLE DIsCovERY
Made at whitehouse, Wednesday, by,
Piof. Edward Orion.

Prof. Edward Orton, state geolc-
gist, in company with G. w. Evers
and DR.. Downs, of Waterville, made
trip to Whitehouse, a town on the
Wabash railroad near Waterville.
Wednesday, to make some observa-
tions about the quarries.
The examination of the Ryan stone
quarry there confirmed what has
been surmised by few, that the for
nation is purely coral. This discov-
cry is regarded as very important,
as there are but two others outside of
the Florida reefs in the country
where such formations are found.
These are a point near Louisville,
KY, and Logansport, Ind.
Prof. Orton was in this part of the
state for the purpose of completing
his exploration preparatory to issu-
ing his annual report.
The novelty would be well worth
any persons time to visit tbs Ryan
quarry, as an inspection reveals the
shells and other formations found at
the bottom of the sea.
Mr.. Evers who has spent consid-
erable time in the study of the
geological peculiarities of this part OF
the state regards this a very impor-
tant matter.
The Loeb quarry this way from
Whitehouse, has an almost unlimited
deposit of glass sand of the best
quality and is in great demand in the
manufacture of glass. Bowling

Leading all other agricultural exhi-

conceded to the Napoleon Fair at
alltimes, and il hard work and honest
effort will have anything to do with
it, the success of the Napoleon Fair
this year is already assured. The
management are doing ell in their
power to get things in better shape
financially and otherwise than they
have ever been before, and they are
succeeding admirably. The farmers
and every other resident OF the coun-
ty can do great deal toward
making this years exhibition a
success, and right now is the
time to commence to do it.
Save out some of your best grain for
an exhibit, get that fine colt and that
team in condition and enter them,
those fat hogs might take premium,
also the sheep, and the cattle would
look we'll in the premium parade.
The ladies always do well at the fair,
but this year they can do better than
ever before. God bless them, what
would a fair be without the ladies
Bring in the products of the kitchen
and the dairy, you will get premi-
um on the best, and right here we
might say that the premium list is
liberal and all premiums paid in cash.

which they secure control of The automatic
car coupler, which was awarded the prize Of
all competitors at the Chicago convention of
contractors last October, and is alleged to
be the best device for the purpose ever in

The inventors are two Ohio men, Eli Lam-
bert aud Otis jackson, of Kenton. Under
tie contracts signed. these patentees are
given the option of accepting $250,000 or a
royalty of 50 for every car equipp with the
device. BY an act Of Congress, passed
several years ago, every car in the United
States must be equipped with an automatic
coupl n by 1898. The dealis one of the larg-
eat closed here in several years.
