torts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis.
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tlves or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, e
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

TEACHERS DISCUSS TEACHING
COUNTY TEACHERS, ASSoCTATION
IN SESSION SATURDAY.
Several Interesting Discussions and
the Election of Officers. Pro.
gramme for the February
MaAtinr
Meeting.

In answer to the call of County Com
missioner Whitchard, the first meeting
OF the Terrell County Teachers Associa
ton for 1897 was held In the public
school building Saturday There were
about twenty teachers present.
Commissioner Whitchard called the
meeting to order, and the followin g
officers were elected for this year: J. q.
Gre well president, Homer Wright vice
president and Jason Scarboro secretary.
The association then decided to meet
on the third Saturday of each month at
10 O'Clock a. m.
The programme that had been prepar-
ed by Commissioner Whithard and pub
lished in THE News was then taken up.
President j. H. Crowell led in the dis
cussion of Teaching as Science" His
remarks were full of thought and earn
estness. He said it is foregone con-
clusion that the teacher who does not
study the science of teaching must soon
step out OF the profession. While teach
ing may not yet be digni6ed as a sci
enca, he said, there are certainly many
general and fixed laws of procedure.
Miss Florella Market followed with a
torcible argument that the highest sue.
cess in an TT is reached only through a
clear understanding of its correspond
ing science. Professor Wright then gave
some very fOrcible illustrations of how
an art d, ponds upon its science.
Professor j. d. McLendon came in Just
here and commanded the attention of
the teachers several minutes. After a
| spirited discussion in which be took the
ground that not all branches f study
| are sciences, among which is education,
he was convinced that astronomy is a
science "fr0m top to bottom" His talk
was a very interesting one.
Miss Annes Pilsbufy led in tie discus
sion of the next subject, "The Advaut-
ages of Supplementary Text Reading"
She was followed by Miss Paula Will
ford, These ladies showed that they
study their profession, and that they
/ have clear conceptions of its importance.
Professor Wright then gave very fine
illustration of the causes of day and
night, the seasons, the limits of the
zones, etc. This was perhaps the most
instructive feature of the programme
The following were appointed com
mittee for arranging the next programme:
j. d. McLendon, jason Scarboro, Miss
Anne3 Pilsbury and Mrs. M. G. Stanley
All of the teachers seemed delighted
with the first meeting of the year, and
are anxiously looking forward to theil
next meeting, February goth, when viii.
be carried out the following programme

Money In XiaIefs

There must be great deal of money
in violets. In New York and other east
ern cities such punches of the flow
ers as are pedGled in Los Angeles for 5
cents bunch are worth from 75 cents to
81. and even more, dependent upon the
supply These are the prices for the
double purple varieties; as for the double
white ones. they are unattainable. Why
would it not be feasible to ship violets
to eastern markets in refrigerator cars?
This experiment of shipping flowers east
was tried about two years ago, in the
summer time, when carload OF lilies,
roses and other flowers, and palms, was
shipped. The experiment was only par
tial success, but a member of the Los An
geles firm which made the shipment said
at the time to an Investor representa-
tive, that there was no doubt but that
flower shipments could be made, and
profitably - if sufficient care was used
in preparing the flowers, etc, and the car
was kept at the right temperature. Vio-
let's are more hardy than some of our
summer flowers and it is common eX-
perience here to keep a bunch fresh for
nearly a week without exercising any
particular care. The state agricultural
board has just informed us that it is
advisable the farmer should turn his
attention to some other branch Of agri-
culture than fruit raising. The. raising
of vioets for shipments might prove to
be a profitable side issue.-The investor.

me of the old epitaph on the little baby's
tomb, which naively says:

And here Sousa laughed, behind his

asked him if he had always loved music.

SEEN BY A MYSYTIC.
AT one time in New York Sousa gave
concert which was reported by
Theosophist The report was a strange
one, and pronounced the great band
leader "a Maha tina, a living melody"
With graphic pen he described the magic
of Sousa's baton, which he waved to-
wards the clarinets, and they became
children weeping" "as he turned to the
cornets a wall of agony broke from
them" the pass of the wand toward the
trombones and drums "and 10 they were
a horde of mocking devils" The crash
of passion is vivid. until finally the mas
ter turns the power of his baton towards
every performer, and the chorus
swells until every instrument rejoices
in the righteous strength of the divine.
