THE INSTITUTE ASSURED.
TEACHERS OF NEIGHBORING
COUNTIES COMING.
A TWO WEEKS INSTITUTE TO BE HELD
IN DAWSON THIS SUMMER. KINDER
GARTEN To BE A FEATURE.

Through the efforts of County
School Commissioner. Whitchard a
combined institute composed of
teachers of neIghboring counties will
be held in Dawson this sumner.
The plans and details of the insti.
tute have about been perfected, and
there is no longer any doubt of the
success of the movement.
Commissioner Whitchard has in
vited the teachers of Randolph.
Clay, Quitman, Webster, Stewart.
Calhoun and Lee to unite with the
the teachers of Terrell in a combin.
ed institute at Dawson, and accept
of them.
ances have been received from most
Professor G. G. Bond, superin-
tenoent OF the Athens public school
and former teacher in Dawson,
and Professor D. L. Ernest, teach
er in the state normal school and
who conducted the Terrell county
institute at Dawson last summer.
have been engaged as experts, and
will have charge of the coming insti'
tute. Both of these gentlemen are
educators OF ability and experience
and Commissioner Whitchard has
been fortunate in securing their SER
vices.
A prominent feature of the ilsti-
tute will be a kindergarten and
model school for the little ones, and
this will be given special attention.
Commissioner Whitchard has already
secured class of bright little boys
and girls for this work, but others
will be taken by applying to him.
That Commissioner Whichard is a
live and energetic promoter OF educa-
ton is proven by his successful efforts
in pertecting the arrangements for
the institute.
The institute will open in June
and continue two weeks.

FIRE IN THE COUNTRY.

Mr.. t. M. Thompson and Family Narrowly
Escape from Their Burning Home
On Saturday night tenant house on
Mr.. M. E. Jennings ".place, occupied by
Mr.. t. Nj. Thompson and family was
destroyed by fire. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson were awakened by the roar
ing flames the house was enveloped
In fire, andthey barely had time to run
to the bed in which their two children
were sleeping and remove them from
the building. The little ones were
carried to an open place near the house
and covered with bed clothes, and the
parents went back to save what part of
their household goods they could. A
small part of the furniture and bed
clothing was saved, but the dining
room and kitchen effects were total
loss. There was no insurance.

FREEZE DIDN'T HURT FRUIT.
A LARGE PEACH CROP IS:EXPECT-
ED THIS ,YEAR.e
A Few More Weeks of Favorable
Weather and the Fruit Crop
viii Be Safe.

Fruit men have been very much inter
ested in the weather for several days
past, and are hoping for cool weather for
three or four weeks vet.
Although the recent warm weather
had caused many trees to begin to bud
the fruit men look upon the Geld wealth
er of last week as an advantage, and now
say that the outlook for a large peach
crop is very fine. The cold snap
will keep the buds from opening, and in
all probability but few peach blooms
will be seen in this vicinity for some
days yet.
The freeze of 1890 came in February
and this was followed in 1891 with a
freeze on the 3rd of March, From 1892
to 1896 the freezes came between Febru-
airy 22 and March q of each year. Us
ually the freezes are over by the 10th of
March, and the frost season runs to
about April 10. Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the
well known weather prognosticato r,
claims that the worst weather is usually
over by the latter part of February or
the first cf March.
Fruit men are apprehensive of cold and
freezes up to 9th of March. If this
date can be safely tided over, the fruit
crop is always safe so far as freezes are
concerned. A slight frost in the early
part of April does no harm, but, on the
other hand, is helpful, inasmuch as the
fruit trees are usually ridded of a sur
plus which has tendency to weight
down the trees, and cause deficiency in
the value of the fruit.
In many past seasons various efforts
have beeh made fer the preservation of
fruit trees in times of freezes, and some
of these " ere resorted by local growers
last week. The most popular plan is to
build fires in the orchards, while others
set on fire the woods around their orch
ards. Other means of saving fruit have
been tried and in many instances proven
successful. However, in caseslof severe
freezes and billiards. no means can be
contrived by which fruit can be saved.
Last year the fruit farms furnished
employment for many people who were
