ETA JANE. June lS.-Iestcrday your
correspondent went TO Flint Hill, and with
the aid Of Messrs. &. w. Whisonant, T.. L.
Macomson, A. G.. Davis, the Patrick and
Davis boys aud many others, organized a
Union Sunday School, with John X. Kcnnc-
dy Supt, &. Il. Wright Asst Sup't. W. 4.
Davis Sec'y. 23 scholars were enrolled
Mr.. y. G. Davis, assisted by the Mountain
school house choir, furnished the music and
but few can equal them for music Our
township we believe is one of the best or
ganized country school districts in the State
aCd we are determined to keep it so.
Mr. &. Il. Fowler Is now repiirng the
mills Of Mrs. 5. J. Hughes, of Cowboys
vile, and he intcnds that there shall be no
more complaints that we have no mills with
which TO grind our wheat.
No doubt the candidates would be glad if
the hummcrs who cxpcct to join Coxcy's
army would cmigratc before the campaign
opens and barbecue dinners are spread to
catch their money. The fees of the differ
cnt officers are all too low for them TO invest
much in uncertain official conquest. and by
the time they kiss ail the dirty-facc babies
in the country they will have pliI a good
price for their deirnts, while those who
succeed will have nothing to brag on.
We hope the political campaign will be
conducted on Il plane becoming n free in-
dependent and virtucuS people, aud that the
voters Will remand to oblivion any caudi-
date who tries TO lift himself into office by
sanicring AMI uniustly maigning other
people. 1t the campaign be one in which
the ladies Of our county, if they choose to
do so, can 90 out and see and hear those
men talk who a'c asking the suffrage of
their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers,
and feel that they are ia the presence Of
men who will protect and respect them
We have had enough Of this vituperation
md ''mud Singing. SO let each voter say
nor, before he commits himself to any man
or measures Tint he does not intend that
that most sacred of all rights of citizenship
which he pOsscsScs-the right to votc-shall

A Little Rain and other JonesvilIe News

JoNEsvILLE, June lS.-There was light
shower CT rein here yesterday evening and
this morning is cloudy and favorable for
the crops. The rain was heavier below
Jonesville and was \ pretty good cotton
shower. The Indications are good for more
rain in the near future, but uness it does
rain soon crops will suffer badly.
The meeting at the Method list church here
closed last FRIDAY night. The Rev. Il. A.
Tongue assisted the pastor, Rev. j. 5. Porter
for four days. Mr.. Tongue processes sane
ti6cation and breaches holiness aud sanctf-
cation doctrine, but he leaves the matter with
his hearers whether they will accept his
doctrine or not, aud says nothing TO offend
| those who do not accept his doctrine. lie
made many friends while here aud did much
good by his earnest, faithful, simple exposi-
tions of the scriptures and his modest con .
servativc manners both in and out of the
pulpit. The large audience at the last SER
vice Friday night gave him parting shake
of the hand and wished him God speed in
his ministry.
Mr.. George Worthy died at the County
poor house last week and was buricl ut
Giiad Church the day following. lie was
% years o'd, and was one of the old time
Pea Ridgcrs. lie had been an industrious
man, but did not save much of this worlds
goods, consequently he and his wife had to
go to the poor house in their old age, where
he died and where she still lives, though
perhaps will follow her husband in the near
future.
l announced in my communication last
week that Rev. J. c. Kilgo would deliver n
lecture in the Academy here on the 10Th

Bay 1t is always best to hear both sides

Bsy~ 1t is always best to hear both sides
Of n question if you wish to be right in
forming your opinion. Last week in speak
ing of the failure to let the contract to build
the Murphy's Mill bridge I'VE said, "we
hear some bitter complaints made by the
people of that section against the owners of
the property in the town of Union, because
they would not allow the bridge to be loc'ted
80 as to escape the steep hills and miserable
road leading to town from that part of the
county"
In that we spoke before we knew the true
status of the difficulty, or as our old friend,
J. Rice Ro igers used to say, We event of
half cooked" Since then the other side
the owners Of the mill property have given
us their version Of the trouble, which puts
quite new feature upon the mater, but
we have not room to giYe it in detail, nor
could we make it quite plain to our readers
without giving diagram of the location OF
the ill nndother points on the river.
The owners of the mill property say they
are perfectly willing to give The right OF
way to the Commissioners for the proposed
on of the bridge abor, the present mill
site aud bridge but rs they intend building
a cotton mill on the Murphy Mill site at an
early day that would neccssitatc the build
ing of dam below the mill, which wUui,,,
sndanr"r ihl ~'"lj!ity of the proposed bridge
from backwatcr and overflow, they asked
that the Commissioners give all necessary
security that they would be held harmless
from any damage that may hereafter occur
to said bridge from such backwatcr or over
flow.
1t APP ears 10 Us to he purely a matter OF
self defence on the part of the owners OF
the mill property. They own Il valuable
site fIr q cotton mill. but it could never be
utilized for that purpose if the stockholders
of 4 mill built on it were sui jcct to pay for
o county bridge every time heavy frcshct
led the tackwatcr to wash it away.
The Mill Company appear TO be not only
willing but anxious to all the Commissioners
in their des'c to improve the road ut that
point, on beth side, of the river, but they
are not wiling, and do not think the people
woul.l AJAX th"m. to jcopardzc their Interest
in the property hy consentng to its being
nut in constant, dnng"r .: being he'd ia1ie
for damages o, the bridge, without some
indemnity.
Let US have peace, u good road to and a
big cotton mill at the oil Murphy Mill site.

Teachers may be arranged into three
classes First, those who have but little
originality but can readily adapt themselves
to the requirements and plans of others.
They can carry out model lessons to the
letter and want model for everything they
are required to do.
Second, those who are natural teachers
and cannot work in accord with auother's
plans. They must work in their own way
or not at all They are independent of the
thoughts of others. They are truly worth
their weight in gold-iuvalunblc.
Third, those who have one way of doing a
thing and always do it in that way under
whatever circumstance. They arc in ruts
and cannot get out themselves and will not
allow anyone else to help them out. The
only thing that can be done is to hoist them
out of the school bodily, which is not easily
done. They may be good for something,
somewhere, but they arc good for nothing
i'll the schoolrooui.
The first class, by little eff ,rt ianl by
the exercise of a little originality and inde-
pcndencc, may become valuable teachers.
The second class may need a little polishing,
may need to have the rough corners knocked
off and Sm)othcd down to some extent, but
they do not need much TO make them model
teachers. They arc the chief reliance in all
efforts to improve the schools without them
there is no hope of advancing our educa-
ticnal interests or of bringing our schools
up to n decidedly respectable standard.
Nothing can be done for the third class at
present. The sooner We can get them out
of the schools the better for all parties.
But fear they are in to stay for many years
yet. They teach rs did the teachers Of forty
yrars ag', anu viii remain until the country
schools and public sentiment can be educA-
tel up TO higher and better standard.
Now, let us as teachers examine ourselves
and try to see to which of the above classes
we belong. May we all soon realize that to
the second class we should belong, and by
earnest tutorship We will be there before
the end of another session.
