A NEW ROAD LAW.

The present extra session OF the
Legislature has passed new road law
which is attracting wide attention. The
Mobile Register believes that If the law
be properly carried into effect, and il
kept in effect for material length OF
time. it will probably give The State a
system Of public roads superior to any
that it has ever had, and perhaps super
ior to that OF majority OF the South
ern States Numerous papers, inside
and outside OF the State, have been
tavorably Impressed with 1t, and there
/. every reason to believe the iaw will
work material change for the better,
even should it fail to accomplish its
entire object.
The new law. which went into etfec,
from the date of its approval on the
22yth of April. provides that each coun.
ty have road commissioner, who

Business League ct Meridian, the kind
of an organization Grenada should
have, to push the growth Of our city:
MERIDIAN appears to have Young
Mems Business League that was or.
ganized for business. At the last meet
ing Of the league Mr.. c. W. Robin son
was reelected president after he had
twice declined the nomination. Then
the league went into the consideration
OF business looking into the feasibility
of organizing another telephone com.
pany. The next was the consideration
of Offering inducements for the securing
OF wood working factory. On top Of
this was the favorable consideration OF
the proposition Of outside capitalists
to establish at Meridian a plant for
the manufacture Of paper, the plant to
cost $4,000. The league is young in
years, but within its short lifetime 1t
has done much to forward the ind rial
development Of Meridian"

rHE srMMER NoRMALs.

We see from published reports tha,
Prof. A. A. Kincannon, State Superb
tendens OF Education, has fixed July IL
as the date for theOpening Of the Normal
here. Ten of the best educators that
the land affords have been selected "a
do the instructing, and il the very best
results are not obtained. it vii, be the
fault of those Tor whom the Normal is
held.
1t is singularly strange TO US that a
much larger number Of the public
school teachers do not attend these
Normals. We dare say tina, such op-
portuni,ies could not be offered to any
other class or profession without their
availing themselves Of them. While a
great number OF wide-awake, enthusi-
astic teachers have been present at
these Normals from year to year, still
they have not reached great mass Of
the teachers But this failure las Tot
heen with the State Superintendent, or
with the managers OF the Normi.ls. 1t
has not been because their advantages
were not perfect. but because the
teachers have chosen to plod along In
old ru,s and grumole about eXamina-
tions, rather than to even try to climb
TO the summit of professional useful
ness, School teaching is profession,
and whenever il is regarded as such a
long step will be taken towards greater
efficiency in its work.
We believe that greater number
than ever will attend the Normals
throughout the State this year. and
tha. county superintendents. trustees
and patrons are going to see to it that
the teacher who does not attend shall
take back seat. Grenada is prepared
to entertain the three or four hundred
teachers lha, are expected here in the
very best style. Besides the excep-
,ional advantages that they will have
in the Normal work, they will be given
every attention to make them feel at
ease and at home, and they will have
an opportunity OF visiting the celebra-
ted Gibbs Spring. and drinking boun-
teors draughts Of its pure mineral
water.

OF this work from beginning to end,
we are in u position TO compliment our

work shows conscientious discharge
of duty and a patriotic desire to bene-

All OF the several reports contained
in the Proceedings are indeed credit
able. Grand Master E. w. Lampton's .
address is to the point. He gives a
concise and clear account OF his

are timely and sensible. The report
of the Committee on Foreign Cores
