Miss Edna Bush, Macon's most &C
complished pianist, left us last Friday
evening to take charge of the musical
department Of the Alabama Industrial
Institute and College. We can heartily
congratulate this institution upon Sc
curing Miss Bush as mistress of music.
Miss Bush's exceptional skill and taste
in illustrating piano difficulties, her
knowledge Of the latest methods of
piano instruction, her enthusiasm and
painstaking care, together with her
singular tact in inspiring her pupils, all
combine in making her a teacher of rare
ability. Weregret to lose one so capable
of leading our musical taste to a higher
level, and we trust Miss Edna will meet
with the high appreciation she merits in
her new home.

Step in the Right Direction.

While the movement for improved
highways has not yet accomplished
what was expected of it in some Sec
tions Of the country, the agitation of
the question has served to educate
the people not only in relation to the
value of good roads, but also as to
the means of preserving serviceable
highways when once secured. 1t is now
generally recognized that the use of
wagons with wide tires is one of the
indispensable aids to he maintenance
of permanently good roads, and the
near future will undoubtedly witness
the practical desertion of the narrow
tire for all heavy wagons.-Colman's

Buying and Selling Cows.

The N3rth Carolina experiment sta
ton proposes plan for buying and
selling cows. 1t is based on the yield
of their milk, together with the quality
of the same, as determined By tests of
the milk. The rule is to pay for tn COW
at the rate of $l2 per gallon of milk
given per day that is rich enough to
show 31a per cent. of fat. To this price
add or subtract one dollar for every
one-fourth of one per cent. of fat
which is above or below the 3B per
cent. BY this rule a COW is bought
entirely on her merits. 1t is believed te
be a conservative plan, and one if adopt.
ed Tor one upon similar plan) will
certainly raise the standard of cows
and increase their milk and butter
production, for if they cannot be sold
easily for mich COWS, thsY will sooI
be turned over TO the butcher, and {
better animal be kept or willing pur
chaser be found. To result caano
