| just thought it and I've been think
ing it aud my opinions are verified in an
article "Too much Mrs. Bryan" A
wife's inf Hience, patience, devotion and
self-sacrifce assist in developing a hus-
bands higher nature and in aiding him
in any career. He feels her spiritual in
fluence and so do all men, above mere
physical charms. But husband nor a
nation does not admire his divinity to
gain too much the ascendancy. The
Southern men much prefer fluffs and
frils, laces and fl Jwers-home and era

The Teachers Institute last week was
the ruling feature. The number in at
tendance was large. The interest ex-
bibited was apparent. Many visitors
attended each session which was opened
by singing and playing Mr.. w. d.
Ashcraft, our able school commissioner,
displayed much ability in the perfection
of arrangements and in securing so COM
petent and proficient an instructor as
Prof. McHenry Rhodes to preside. Miss
Frank Conway was Sec'y. On Thursday
night, the teachers assisted by local
talent, gave literary and musical treat
at the courthouse. Prof. Rhodes gave
a talk on Two Phases OF Life" He
evinced thoroughness of thought, beauty
Of imagery, purity Of diction combined
with a graceful delivery which appealed
TO popular audience. Space forbids
mention Of all till we reach Prof. A. G.
Burton who recited an amusing medley
in which passages of tenderness and
pathos mingled with the comic and ri
diculous appeared most effectively.
Prof Burton is an affa5le speaker and
was heartily encored. The exercises
closed with "God be with you till We
meet again" Mrs. G. II. Casperke and
Miss Pearle Ditto rendered valuable as
sistance in the musical numbers
