During the first Cleveland administra-
ton Mrs. Cleveland took the greatest
delight in picking up here and there
wherever she could odd bits OF furniture 10
put in one of the bedrooms at Oak View,
and this furniture was subsequently, taken
TO her New York residence for her own
bedroom. Much of this furniture, as
well as a fine old inlaid sideboard, was
secured for Mrs. Cleveland from some Of the
old homesteads in Virginia.

OF the elaborate bits of furniture in the
Cabinet houses and elsewhere throughout
the fashiona bic residences of Washington

OfCourse had it been known that Mrs CIeve
land was the prospective buyer, the price
put upon the furniture would have been de
cidedly in the line OF fancy figures. There

ever Mrs. Cleveland saw any thing upon
which her fancy was especially set, it was
purchased for her through some friend.

friends whose knowledge of the contents OF
the fine old Virginia honiesteads was Of tie
greatest service in securing TO Mrs. Cieve
land some of the most elegant furniture
taken TO her New York residence at the close
Of the first Cleveland administration. One
of these pieces o old furniture was carved

at once secured flowered flouncings and
then utilized the patchwork quilt presented

1t was to be expected that with the COM
ing OF the spring and bright weather the
President and Mrs. Cleveland would turn
their attention to the matter OF moving out
TO their country place on Woodley road
This viii be done this week if the wea ther
continues fine, but If it should prove cold
or rainy the move viii not be made until
more propitious time.
As at present planned, the President and
Mrs. Cleveland wiz remain at Woodley
until June, when they expect to depart for
the summer TO be spent at Gray Gables
At this latter place Mrs. Cleveland Will
have her mother as her guest for some
portion ef the summer
Last year, on account of the arrival
OF Coxey's army OH the eyentful 1st OF
May and the fact that tile entire country
about Washington teemed with tramps
and rough characters generally. the Presi-
dents family had no enjoyment OF their
place on the Woodlcy road They had
moved out there. bit even though the place
was guarded day and night il was finally
considered unsafe, aud Mrs. Cleveland
and the chdrenleft forGray Gables sheer
defense much earlier than would have been
the case ordinarily. Ii is to be hoped
that this spring there Will be nothing to
mar the enjoyment OF the Presidents
family at Woodley.

is established at Woodley there VIII he a

Later. as the spring progresses, Mrs
Cleveland takes pride in serving her callers
with the largest and finest specimens
of Strawberries 10 he had in the market
With these is cream from one of the Alderney
cows always kept at Woodley OH account
of the children.
Mrs. Cleveland is naturally very fond Of
the life at Woodlcy, as then in great mesaure
she can enjoy the pleasures OF domestic
life that are not possible Ut the White
House on account of the duties attaching
10 her residence at the latter place. Going
ont to Woodley simplifies things in "a
marvellous manner, since Mrs. Cleveland
can then be almost as unrestrained in her

in private life. She has considera BILE

Whereas, it is the evidentin intention OF

teachers whose schools do make the re-
quired average, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we do not desire our
salaries increased or maintained by de
priving any teacher of Lis pay who has
faithfully performed his duty. Further
more, while we. recognize the principle
as right and just that teacher who
violates his contract should forfeit it,
vet we believe it to be contrary to every
princi pie of justice and law to deprive a
teacher of his salary because his patrons
fail to do their duty"
The association, by unanimous vote,
adopted the resolution, and authorized
the president to appoint committee Of
three to present their protest to the
county board of education.
This action was taken because it was
understood that the board of education
Terrell county had voted to deprive
of his salary any public school teacher
whose school attendance fell below
twenty-five pupils.
The committee appointed under the
resolution was Messrs. w. H. Hitler, j.
L. Caughman and c. E. Grubbs.

the months roll on. The regular month
" meeting for April was held on Satur-
day last at B 'onwood in the academy
building, the headquarters of the school
of the president Of the association, Prof.
G. Z. Grubbs.
There were teachers present from all
sections of the county and from adjoining
counties. and Brentwood itself furnished
large mum Der of citizens whose inter
est in educational affairs caused their
attendance upon the meeting. The large
school room was comfOrtabiy tiled when
President Grubbs raped the meeting 20
order and requested Prof. Britton to
lead in prayer. Following this, Prof.
Gfuobs m lde a neat welcome address,
saving til 1t Brentwood extended a cordial
greeting TO the teachers of the county.
The roll having been called, the morn
ing's exercises pro yer began with an
address from Prof. W. H. Hitler on the
topic, The Aims of Our Association. -
This address was an able one and Prof
Hitler held the attention of his audience
tional questions.
At the close of the address there was
an animated discussion OF various points
made by Prof Hitler.
Next came some practical work in
mathematics, when Prof. E. E. BrittOn
continued his talk on "Suggestive Arith
metic," and had his audience to take part
with hlm in his work. a general discus
sion on points made by the speaker closed
the mornings exersices, and a recess was
taken for dinner.
Tables were spread in the school room,
and under the able manipulation of the
ladies of Brentwood the room soon
became a scene of beauty-at least
to a hungry ind;vidlal-fOr the tables
were laden with all sorts of good things
to eat. This courtesy fr I'm the people
OF BIonwoo was greatly appreciated ny
the visitors, and ample justice was done
the feast.
After dinner, nd after rambling for
awhile in the shady grove around the
school building the audience again
assembled, and, after singing, was first
entertained by listening 10 an excellent
paper by Miss Allie Lawhon on "Intel-
lectual Culture" Following this Prof
Grubbs talked elOquontly on the subject
of ''Shail the Switch COP The question
