 Speaking of the need of more judicial circuits, the Eutaw Mirror says the simple way out of the difficulty is to have continuous courts.
 A weekly exchange refers to home mer- cuant as 'solvent and accomm odating o The word 'solvent' is good. IL not only fatters man, but it enhances his credit. Rev: Dr. Joseph B. Co,trell stopped with the editor of the Greenville Advocate when on his way to Florida. He was presiding elder of that district twenty -seven years ago.
 Mir. T. L. Long has purchased business lot m Jasper, Walker county, for the sum of $l600, and will put up handsome brick
 building, the lower floor for stores aud the upper one for theater.
 Greenville is to have rice mill. Rice grows well in almost every part of the state, aud the only trouble is in hulling it. Before the war 1t was grown on nearly every plantation, and on rainy days the negroes were put to huIling it with mortar and peste.
 AS soon as the weather will permit an- other large brick will be erected on the square jointly by the Messrs. Musgrove and 5. J. Childers, who own between them about 50 feet front. The lower story will be used as stores and the upper will be converted into offices. Jasper Eagle.
 When an editor goes off on visit and puts up with friend he says, 'sWe stopped with our friend, MT. Blank.n This leaves the impression that his friend he puts up at a hotel and can't stand off the landlord with free puff, he says, "I put up at Hotel Hash.''
 Master Edward Sledge, son of Mr. J. N. Sledge, who resides with his aunt, hap pened to serious accident last Saturday. fence he pulled his gun through a crack, Knocking the hammer against rail and discharging the whole load of shot in his left hand and wrist. Dr. Young dressed the wound and says that amputation may yet be necessary. We hope this will not become ecessary.-Greensboro Beacon.
 We are reioiced to learn that the health of Judge James B. Head of Birmingham has greatly improved. His hundreds of friends in this county earnestly pray that he may soon entirely recover. Since writ ing the aDove we learn from Messrs. w. c. Head and w. ". Hill, who have just re- turned from visit to him in Birmingham, that while he is quite feeble he is much better than he was previous to their visit, and with no backset they believe he will soon be relieved.-Eutaw Whig aud Ob- server.
 We welcome to our exchange list the abama Presbyterian, published at Bir mingham, with Rev. J. M. P. Otta, D. D., editor.

The January number, which is before us, contains carefully pre- pared editorial matter and in teresting con- tributions on various subjects, apd while 1t is especially intended for those of the Presbyterian faith, 1t will prove interest ing to all. We wish the new publication abundant success.-Talladega Mountain Home.

IMMIGRATION,
MORE INQUIRIES DURING 1894

MORE INQUIRIES DURING 1894 THAN IN PREVIOUS THIRTEEN YEARS. The Southern States, published at Balti- more, In its January number, presents the following letter from Mai. F. Y. Ander- son of this city:
 During the past fourteen years have devoted much time and energy to the pro- mitigation of information about the south did this fully satisfied that when the north and west thoroughly understood the merits of this country those who wanted to potter their condition by owning their own farms and surrounding their families and themselves with that comfort and prosper ity so easily found throughout the south. would come down here by thousands and thousands and unite with our people in making this one of the richest sections of the United States.
 With minerals of all kinds ready to be fashioned into articles of merchandise; with great belts of valuable timber within easy reach, offering employment to those anxious for honest toll; with climate so uniform and pleasant as to permit the will ing worker to plant two and three crops on the same land during the year; with a soil that with even less than ordinary care is susceptible of yielding large returns; with markets so convenient that all crops can be readily disposed Of, and that, too, at better prices than obtained in the north and west; the south in general, and Ala bama in particular, must prove paradise for those who, broken in health from cou- stant toiI, have tried to eke out an ex- istence in the frigid zone of the north and west.
 The agents whom have sent this year into Wisconsin, into Minnesota, into Me- braska and the two Dakotas to distribute our literature, report that tho people of those states display an extraordinary in- terest in and desire for all information pos- sible about the southern states. They further predict great movement from the northwest into the south this winter, and tney give the constant failure of the crops of the west and the uniform success of crops in the south as one of the potent reasons forcing this change.
 This information is sustained from my own ex xperieDce, for-l can safely say that have received more inquiries from peo- pie in tue north and west about this country during the year 1894 than l have received for the past thirteen years; and if it were permissible in an article like this l could go step further and furnish the names of large number of heads of fam flies whom have settled in 1894 along the line of the Alabama Great Southern rail- and the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad, who, if they could speak in public way, am satisfied would gladly tell of their improved condition, physically and financially, of their pleasant surround ings, of the new hopes within them of the future which this state of affairs has naturally engendered, and above all, of the hearty greetings and hospitabie reception they have met from every southern family in the neighborhood In which they have located.

After Most Interesting and h.
 struotive Session, Closes.
TO HAVE A SUMMER SCHOOL
Was the Verdict of the Teach < ers-The Text Book Bill
 Touched Upon.

A considerable portion of the session of the teachers institute yesterday morning was consumed in discussing the resolution to condemn the bill before the legislature creating county schoolbook commission. 1. It developed that majority of the teach CTS, so far as they expressed themselves, favored a uniform series of text books, but They opposed the bill now before the legis- 1ature, that Is, majority of those who had read 1t did. The matter was finally settled by withdrawing the whole thing and thus placing the institute on record as mot having taken any action whatever on the subject.
 It. was nearly 10 o'clock when Prof. H. P. Burrus called the institute to order and .sonly a small mum Der of teachers were pres. isent, the disa agreeable weather having kept them away. Others came during the ses- sion and before adjournment probably 200 S teachers were present.
 < Miss Amy McAdory, who was absent on ' Friday, was called on to read her paper on s"The Advanced Reading Lssson,' which < had been passed at the time. Miss Mo- : Adory said she had left her paper at home ? and could not, therefore, read 1t. , CIVIL aovERNMENT. Prof. W. P. Taylor discussed tMethods for Teaching Civil GoverDment.' He said civics was purely an American word. Good citizenship and patriotism should be taught the children. Civics should always go . hand in hand with history, and incidentally with geography. He spoke of teaching the sentiment of patriotism by music and [ songs. Some composer, he said, ought to write a simple song, thai the children can E understand.
 Among the methods of teaching civics mentioned by Professor Taylor was the or ganization of g mock congress, which should be conducted as the American con- gress. He also advised taking pupils to the state legislature, to courts when im- portant trials are on, and to other such places.
 Superintendent McAdory announced that the board of examiners were at his office, and any teacher who desired to get license could find them there.
 Prof. S. L. Robertson said the outline given by Professor Taylor was admirable. He thought report by the teachers in the Birmingham public schools would have been very inter esting to the teachers of the county. They have an admirable system. They devote themselves 10 special work. True civics puts us in touch with each other, teaches us to love the home, the etate and country.
 Prof. j. L. Cunningham told of how the teachers of the Birmingham schools had tried to interest the little children in civics. ln the higher grades 1t is In the course:
