Considering the inclemency of the
weather the ice cream supper last Fri
day night was brilliant success. The
rain, which had been pouring almost
necessarily during the last few DAYS,
held up late Friday afternoon. 1t was
the intention to have the supper on the
ground of the court yard, but the ex-
IRENE dampness of the weather rendered
this impossible, SO the party repaired to
the residence of Mr., and Mrs. f. 7.
Greene. After supper dance being
next in order, all who were so inclined
walked down to the residence of Mr., and
Mrs. H. Mills where the light fantastic
was INDUCED until late hour. The

were present: Misses Hattie Etheredge

The Court House Question.

1t has been rumored for some time
that the court house question in
Ureene county is divided. We
iound on investigation that the court
mouse as we'll as the question was di-
vlded. We found one half in the
same old place, and the other might
De noticed in the neighborhood OF the
front yard of our townsman, f. j.
Greene. The question of where the
courthouse should be, what it should
COST, and whether or not we should
nave new court house or worry
along with the old one have been sub
Jects for discussion for some time
past. Some of our citizens think
that to build a court house at present
is an unnecessary undertaking. Their
argument is that our financial condi-
ton is not such as to warrant us to
impose upon ourselves so heavy an
obligation as the paying $4,000 for
a new building. Some realize the
necessity OF having a better repository
for our records, and more comfor.
table quarters for our officers, but be-
lieve that we could get the work done
tor about half the money. To those
acquainted with the expense of put
ting up first class brick building of
this description, it is unnecessary TO
say that this is mistaken idea. 1t
would be possible to get a binding OF
the dimensions of the building con
Template ted for less money, bat it
would be an impossibility to get first
class material and superior workman
ship for nominal sum.
There is movement on foot to Ell
join the building of the court house
This is a movement that our citizens
should consider before entering
Suppose that we admit that the Board
of Supervisors have made a mistake
in contracting for such an expensive
building. Then it the board has
made this mistake suppose we rectify
the matter by stopping the contractors
from further operation on the build
ing. For every action there is d
corresponding result. In this event
what would be the result? The Pauly
Jail Co, have contracted to build
court house, and are under bond
tor $4,000 for the faithful carrying
out of their contract. They have
already gone to considerable expense
and if they are enjoined the question
ofdamages will then arise, and it is
reasonable to suppose that if these
contractors arc stopped, that they will
be entitled 10 damages; and if they
are entitled to damages, they will Ger.
tainly be srewd enough to take advan
tage of the circumstances and sue tol
them. Now, fellow Greene CONTAINS
would it not be as well for us to pay
for this court house as to pay out the
same amount in damages, combined
possibly with the expenses of severa
courts and lawyers fees? Let us con.
slider we'll the matter before we
conclude that we do not need new
court house.

A Condition.

The yellow fever excitement broke up
the first examination, so that the teach
ers who were expecting to stand at that
time were disappointed, and their minds
are still carrying that burden. Teachers
have a hard time. Our examination
laws are rigid. The rulings of our State
board are rigid. The only way for the
teacher to acquit himself honorably is
by thorough paration-making him
self thorough in the studies he proposes
to teach.
While it may seem severe, this is
right. A teacher cannot teach what he
does not know. He ought never to try
to do it. This brings to mind a question
that was asked several years ago in
county institute, viz: If a pupil brings
his teacher an example which the teach
er don't understand, should the teacher
confess it? A strange question, and vet
one that has confronted more teachers
than you might think. Let any teacher
of ten years experience reflect upon his
stalled i'll mathematics, but how nany
questions have your pupils asked which
you could not answer correctly? How
many times have you failed TO make
your pupils understand different points
in their lessonsI
Mr.. Hewitt says, teaching is causing
another to know what he did not know
before. But if we were to gather def
milton from the average school work Of
the country and from the ideas of pa
irons and pupils, and a good MANY
teachers, it would read about this wav.
Teaching is causing another to pass
from one lesson to another in his text
books" This idea is one great obstacle
that stand in the way of the teacher
who is really after educational results
and not merely after turning leaves in
the text book.

the conclusion is reached at once by the
family that the new teacher can't teach
Mary, and for that reason he has turned
her back to 90 over what she already

that the teacher has turned John back
