up to the fact that 1t was derosatory

worse is it to see dirty niggers and

Teachers Institute.

The Institute at Bloomington on
Friday and Saturday of last week.
was largely attended by the teachers
in the vicinity. and the fine weather
and good roads made it convenient
for those living at distance to be
present. Sixty-seven teachers were
enrolled, and a considerable number
of the high school students of Cass-
vile, Bloomington and Patch Grove
improved the opportunity to hear
Professors Hardy and Hutton in their
work of the Institute. The lecture,
on Friday evening, by Prof. Hutton,
was listened to by highly appreci-
ative audience who enjoyed the many
good things said in such forcible and
instructive language that all who
heard him were duly impressed with
the Importance of his topic. Prof.
Hutton showed the relation of the
community to the school, and his
familiarity with his subject enabled
him to present it to his audience in
an interesting and impressive man
ner.
Nearly every one of the sixty school
boards within reasonable distance of
Bloomington allowed their teachers
TO attend the entire session without
loss of time. thus showing their
appreciation Of the advantages offered
to their schools through the teachers
receiving instructions from eminent
instructors during a two days insti-
tute. The entire expenses Of the ses-
sion are paid from the county insti-
tute fund, created by the teachers
paying fee of one dollar for each
examination. Similar meetings OF
one day each are held in various
places throughout the county with
lectures by competent lecturers. The
expenses being paid from tt fund.
Thus the teachers receive ne ded in
struction in their work in return for
their fees paid for examination, and
the schools are benefited through this
medium

Romance OF The War.

The Cincinnati Enquirer published
recently an interesting story Of the
war from which the following is
taken
Colonel 7. Fred Brown. Of Cincin-
natl, will shortly 90 to Savannah,
Ga. where he expects to meet. for the
first time since the war. man who
thought he had killed him at Gettys-
burg. For more than thirty years
Simon Theus. of Savannah. has been
telling a story of how he came to kill
the only federal general who fell in
battle from wound inflicted by his
hand. And after all these years that
same federal general is going to
Savannah to be the guest of Mr..
Theus. There is a world of interest
in the story, which tells of Mr. Theus
accidentally ascertaining that his
dead soldier is a real live business
man, fully abreast of the times. and
doing thriving commission business
in Cincinnati. They are now fast
friends and the Yankee is under
grateful obligations to the Confed-
crate for shooting him down on the
field that second day at Gettysburg.
The reason of his gratitude is because
the next days fighting was of such a
fierce and furious nature as to cause
nearly all of his command and every
officer associated with the command
to be swept to death by tAe battle.
1t was this way according to Mr..
Theus' story to a reporter He was
with confederate brigade which
made desperate cha,ge at Gettys-
burg This brigade, Wright's. broke
through the lines capturing a good
deal of artillery, among the captured
being Battery B Of the First Rhode
Island Regiment commanded By
Lieut.. T. Fred Brown. Before the
cepiure of the battery, Officer Brown.
mounted on large active horse. had
attracted the notice of the Confed-
crates by his bravery and he encour-
agement he was giving his subordi-
mates. One of the confederates said
to Theus. who was in that part of the
fight Kill that man with your next
shot" He leveled his Enfield rifle
and fired. The officer fell and Theus
was assured that he had killed his
man. Imagine his surprise a short
time ago to find that Brown, although
shot through the neck, was not
fatally wounded and was now alive and
well.
I. Fred Brown is a nephew Of
Mr.. Jas. Rhodes, of this city, and is a
well-to-do business man OF Cincinnati
