The story comes from the rural pre-

summers applied at the ordinary's office
recently for a marriage license paying
her own money therefor. Immediately
thereafter she led to the altar timid

thereby making pair of pants. 1t is earn

where the country editor usually wears

Education is the most popular and
democratic of all American institutions.
From the time of the landing of the Pill
grims up to the present day, the govern
ments of the various states have voted,
and wisely, too, millions ofIdollars toward
popular education. Now and then some
wealthy citizen wills or donates small
fortune toward the building and main
tainance of some institution of learning.
The education of the coming generation
has been and always will be the main
thoughts of the people OF free America.
They may be DIVIDED upon politics, re-
ligion and other public questions, but no
one will dispute the claim and proud
boast OF the people that they are consol-
dated upon free education.
The greatest blessing OF this govern
ment of the people has been the estab-
lshment, in every locality, of ic
schools, indeed they are the very life
blood aud salvation of America. Moth
ing has done more toward the enlighten-
ment of the people of the nineteenth
century or has aided more materially to-
ward inventions and the development of
this country than popular education.
Georgia is and has been making grand

strides in educational matters, and it's
schools rank second to none in the coun-
try. Only those who have made a study
of educational affairs and history of the
state can thoroughly understand the
grand and rapid progress that has been
made within the past fifteen years. This
progress is real progress, not merely
change from something old and long es-
tablished to something new. The pro-
gress consists, first, in the employ
of more efficient teachers; second, in
better school accommodation; third, 10
the material reduction of the cost of ed
ucation; and fourth, in the grading of
pupils and uniformity in school books.
1t would require too much space to fully
enumerate a complete detailed account
of the many advances that have been
made in late years in educational mat
ter, suffice it say that the schools of to
day are far superior to the old field
schools of twenty years ago.
The public schools of Dawson are the
pride of its people. The advantages Of
fered in this respect are unsurpassed by
any city IN the south, and the home-seek-
er who desires the best possible advan-
tages for the moral, mental and physic-
al training of his children cannot do bet
ter than to settle in Dawson.
Georgia is known to possess superior
laws for the benefit and protection of its
school interests, and the money and lands
owned by the schools are far ahead of
that of any other state in the south.
Dawson, as an independent school dis
trict, sha' es in this in addition to the
funds raised by the city from the cit-
zens. A tax of As cents on each 500
valuation is levied for the purposeIand
the amount thus raised amounted in
1895 to $5,067
The city school property consists of
outside of the lands, one white school
building built at a cost of SI5
600, and an annex or small building, for
the first three grades and colored
school building.

Mr.. JOSEPH MANLEY, of Maine, who

paratus of the Reed boom, has made o
wager with newspaper man-(news-
paper men are, of course, privileged to
do naughty things in connection with
their business, but just think of saint
ly politician like Joe Marley actually
making bet)-that Mckinley will not
be nominated by the st. Louis conven-
ton. Making heavy wagers has of late
years become one of the recognized
methods of influencing political events,
but this wager cannot be classed as a
heavy one; hence was probably not
made for its effect. The stake is box

the winner is likely to be the greatest
sufferer, unless he shall be wise enough
to let his friends smoke them all.

LITERARY NOTES.

In an extended review, Heart of Old Hick-
DRY, and other stories of Tennessee, Mr.. b. o.
Flower thus criticises the new volume of sto-
ries OF Tennessee life by Miss viii Allen Drom-
goole. 1t has been said that the north and east
werequicker to extend sympathetic recognition
to southerners than the south. This we ques-
tion beyond the fact that the great publishing
houses OF America are located for the most part
in the great northeast cities. But the following
criticism will, we are confident, prove of inter-
est to our readers. This volume of short stories
merits more than passing word of notice. 1t
illustrates the authors power and versatility in
a foreible manner, and will prove valuable ad-
dition to the literature of genuine merit from
the pens of southern writer's The first two
sketches, 1.-The Heart of Old Hickory" and
"Fiddling His Way to Fame are, in a sense,
semi-historlcal, and in each ex-Gov. Taylor is q
prominent character The first of these sketches
is, In my judgment, one of the finest short sto-
ries of the present generation. 1t has proved
unusually popular and displays the wonderful
power Of its gifted author in blending humor
and pathos, while investing with irresistible
fascination a sketch which in the hands of any
other than an artist would appear tame and in
sipid. 1t is masterpiece in its way, and like
her other stories deals largely with the hopes,
sorrows, aspirations and tragedies of the COM
mon life in Tennessee "Fiddling His Way to
Fame" Is a unique and most delightful sketch,
which will convince all readers that the author
might have made a great success as an adyo-
cate before jury had she chosen law instea
of literature for her profession. "A Wonderful
Experience Meeting" and who Broke Up d
Meetin'?'' are masterful sketches of present
day negro dialect work Unlike many persons
who essay this field of literature Miss Drom-
goole never overdoes the dialect, and those IA
mliar with the vernacular as spoken in Ten
nessee and Kentucky will recognize the abso-
Lutte fidelity. Rags" is pathetic picture Of
the street gamin life, showing the strength Of
our author when she paints in sombre hueS
THE Heart of the Woods is in many respects
strikingly unlike the other stories. Through II
flows strain of supernormalism which is rare
ly found in the writings of our southern authors
In Christmas Eve at the Corner Grocery
are strongly reminded of the Dickens quality
in the writings of our author without the Slight
est indication Of imitation. This sketch has
proved unusually popular as recitation at
Christmas entertainments and almost ranks
with THE Heart of Old Hickory in popularity
with public readers, 1t is a charming story tt
be read at any time, but especially appropriate
for the holidays. This volume will take high
place among the mertorious works of modern
southern authors. Tennessee has just reason to
be proud of the little authoress who has depict
ed so many phases Of humble life within her
borders with such fidelity, such delicacy, and
such rare pathos and humor. published by
