GROOMING WORSE.

Friday night as one of our citizens
was leaving town in his cart, having
been to the Masonic Lodge, negro
man tried to hold him up on Campbell's

he stop and give him a ride, wanted to
know if he was alone, etc. The gen.

1T PAYS.

The Dalton Canning Factory, owned
by Mr.. Frank Summerour, packed this
season 25,000 cans of tomatoes and 800,
600 cans of peaches. Mr.. Summerour
will have 100000 peach trees bearing
next year. When it is taken into con-

around Marietta. it would seem to us
to be wise business move to establish
a canning factory in Marietta by the
time next season arrives. Like the
Dalton factory. it need not confine
itself to the canning of fruits, but veg

CAUGHT AT LAST.

The chicken thieves have gotten so
bold in Marietta they conducted their
operations in open day last Thursday
morning entering Dr. T. S. Stewards
premises and carrying off several chick
ems, and attempted to sell them at
several houses Officers Nell, Barrett
and Brewer and Mr.. Tom Jackson ran
down and captured five young negro
men; two of them, Noah Austell and
Claud Warner. were seen with the
chickens, and turned them loose on the
streets Those arrested are Noah Au-
stell, Rufus Austell, Homer Morris,
Claud Warner and Will Warren. Sew
eral depredations have been committed
on DR.. Stewards property recently.
Some one several nights ago stole an
axe. The chicken thieving that has
been going on here for the past few
months has been very extensive, and it
is hoped the ringleaders have been
caught and that the courts will send
them up for a time, and honest people
be no longer troubled by them.

STICK TO THE FARM.

The tendency of some Cobb county
farmers to give up farming and move
o town, is one of the greatest mistakes
that they could make. Farmers can
make all they need for good living on
the farm, but they can't do it in town.
In town they will have everything to
buy-house rent, wood, chickens, eggs,
hulk, butter, -four, meal, meat, &c, all
of which they can produce on a farm.
Work in town fluctuates-to day you
have work, tomorrow you may be out
of job, but expenses go on all the
same On the farm, work is regular
and a good living is where industry is
persistent The town may lend en-
chantment, but it is dispelled by con-
tact Stick to the farm, build it up.

Though every detail OF he lesson should
be carefully prepared, avoid bringing it
before the class in a formal stited man

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS. A.
Some Requirements and Necessary
Preparation for Her Work.

IA paper by Mrs. Carrie f. Bayard read at
| the meeting of the Bluesedgbrook Sunday
School association in East Bluehill Aug 25
Some OF the points which l shall con-
slider may at first glance seem entirely
foreign to this subject, yet they are really
of such vital Importance that preparation
for teaching without these qualifications
must result in at least partial failure.
The first is adaptability for the work.
Most OF us can call to mind consecrated
Christian workers who are anxious to
teach in the Sunday school, yet are never
able to keep class for any length OF time
because they fail to attract and interest as
well as instruct.
1t seems hard to deprive these people of
the privilege they SO much enjoy. but it
should be borne in mind that the object
of Sunday school teaching is not the
teachers pleasure but the pupils profit,
and the paths of righteousness ought to
be made attractive by every legitimate
means.
If it can be avoided, none but Christians
should be employed as teachers. 1t is
true. icS hhSiS IL
seems necessary to intrust the work to
those " no are not Christians, but the re-
suit can never be quite satisfactory; as it
is of but little use for the teacher to
preach what the pulpit knows she does
not practice. While merely intellectual
teaching may interest the mind it seldom
reaches he heart.
Another essential qualification is love
for the work, and without this it is hard
~ possible to arouse in the pupil any
marked degree of enthusiasm.
The teachers preparation ST ould be
built on foundation OF prayer. Work
that is worth doing is worth praying
about.
A general knowledge of the principal
facts Of Bible history will be found an in
valuable aid to The Sunday school teacher,
and mind well stored with Bible texts is
priceless assistant. The much discussed
and sometimes adversely criticised lesson
helps should by no means be despised, as
by this means much valuable information
may be gained, to which the average
teacher would have access in no other
way.
If by reading or observation you chance
upon an incident which may serve to
illustrate point, store it away in the
mind for the time is sure to come when
it will be needed, and it may make an
impression which will remain when the
duller portions of the lesson have been
forgotten. This much, by way OF general
preparation.
After deciding what you wish to use,
make it your own. 1t will seriously de-
tract from the effectiveness OF your teach
ing to go before the class armed with
formidable bundle OF papers to which
constant reference must be made, while
much valuable time would be consumed
in the search for elusive bits OF informa-
ton. Fix the facts in their proper order,
firmly in your own mind. or it will be

CHASED BACK TO QUARANTINE.
Sailors From Bahia, Brazil, Pass

Sailors From Bahia, Brazil, Pass
Quarantine and Come to the City.
Health officer J. c. LeHardy chased
Capt ]. Olsen and five of his men from
the Norwegian bark Regina back down to
the quarantine station yesterday, and told
them not to come up until they were per-
mitted to do so by the quarantine officer.
Capt Olsen and five of his men came up
in a small sailboat the afternoon before.
DIR. LeHardy heard that they were here
and wrote to the chief of police, asking
that they be arrested if found. The men
were not found by the police, and yester-
day morning Olsen went to DIR. LeEIarCy's
othce in the city exchange, accompanied
by the Norwegian vice consul, Mr. ]. r.
Rankin The men were at that time still
in the sailboat in the river.
DR.. LeHardy told Capt Olsen to get
back to the quarantine station as quick
as it was possible for him to do so. 1t
seems the bark Ragna came from Bahia,
Brazil an infected port, and was re-
quired, therefore, to undergo the regular
detention at quarantine. The Ragna was
blown ashore on Gaskin bank, and Capt
Olsen and his men, instead of going to the
quarantine station, secured the sailboat
here before, 1t is said, and was well aware
of the quarantine regulations
Olsen wanted TO make an explanatio
but DR.. LeHardy would not hear il. He
made him go to quarantine without any
delay, the sailboat which brought them
up being towed down by the city tug

north of Savannah. it was 7.3O inches
over all the intervening country the rain
fan was anywhere from 5 10 or more
100 miles square, or 1900 square miles
there was an average rainfall of at least
five inches. To bring this down to a more
comprehensive shape. it may be stated
that this would represent mass of water
about forty two feet deep, covering a space
OF 100 square miles.
As the rainfall was mainly in the coun-
try draining into the Savannah, Ogeechee
and Oconee rivers IL is evident that the
work of carrying it off thrown upon them
was bound to be an impossibility, and TO
result in the food that is now on. To add
to the trouble, there have been consider

MILES & BRADrs DELAYED BID.
Question of Its Standing to he Con-
sidered by the Committee.


A telegram from Miles and Bradt of At
lanta. received at the city exchange yes
terday, stated that their bid on the house
drainage system for Savannah is 5000
lower than that of the lowest of the bid
ders announced on Thursday, and asked
If 1t could not be taken into considera-
ton.
This case opens up a very nice point
which the drainage committee and Coun-
ell will have to decide. This firm mailed
its bid IL Atlanta on Wednesday night,
Aug. 81, to arrive here by the morning
train on the Central Railroad on Sept !.
Had there been no interference with the
mails this bid would have been in the
city exchange some hours before the time
Tor opening the bids. 1t has not been re-
ceived up to the present time, and is, In
an probability, tied up with the Atlanta
mail, which failed to set here.
The lowest bid of those opened on
Thursday was that of Messrs. Crawford
q Co of Brooklyn. y. Y, the total of
which was $l53 494.68. The bid of Messrs.
Miles and Bradt was some $1,000 lower, it
Is stated, or in the neighbOrhood Of $l51,
900.
Now the city is confronted with the
proposition as to whether the bid of Miles
ter is still in the hands of the drainage
committee and will probably be taken up
Tor consideration to-day. The question is
whether that bid, having been mailed in
due season to reach here on time, had it
not been delayed by an act of providence,
IL can be legally considered in connection
with the others. The evidence will I'M
doubtedly show that it was mailed at the
time stated, so that 1t Is legally clear
that there could have been nothing like
fraud or collusion
In the next place, this firm has done
some excellent work in Savannah, hav-
ing DuNt the court house and the new
public building, and there is a disposition
to give them whatever can be consistently
given. Then, too, it is the lowest bid,
and the city secures an advantage there.
Mayor Meldrim has directed a considera-
ton OF the matter before the committee
makes report, and it may be that the
bid Will be considered along with the 9TH
ers.
There was a suggestion that all bids
be called off on account of this circum-
stance, the city having the right to re-
Ject all bids. New bids could then be ad-
Vertised for and all come in on the same
footing, The trouble about this would be
that the bidders would all have the adj
vantage of the bids already made, which
might make some difference. This adj
vantage, however, will be in favor of the
city.
While the question has not been gone
into thoroughly. the opinion has been ex-
pressed that legally the bid of Messrs.
Miles and Bradt can be considered. A,
somewhat analogous case is that of a let
ter in answer 10 an offer of property or
accepting the terms of contract, which
is considered in law to be of force as soon
as 1t has been mailed. The question is
quite an interesting one, and the concIu-
sion will be eagerly awaited.
