will doubtless clear away some Span

Spaniards in Cuba and their right to

WINCHESTER STREET Pair
A Great Success Thousands
Crowd the City to See
the Sights.

The fair on Thursday was largely
postponed till Friday on account of the
very Indictment weather. A few cat
tie and sheep were shown in the after
noon. The attendance was, however,
large.
Our representative reached the city
on Thursday afternoon, and after a
short and feeling interview with G.
II. Rees, the dentist, was in fairly good
shape to see the fair on Friday. 1t is
said that Winchester has not had q
larger crowd in many years, If ever.
The city was extensively decorated
and fathers, mothers, children, cous-
sins and sweethearts were there by
the thousands. In the street process
sion, the floats, while not numerous,
were very attractive. The Richmond
brass band headed the procession.
The public school, about 600 strong,
fire department. secret orders, chief
men, etc., were in line. s. P. Kerr's
floats displaying harvesting and mill
ing operation and his popular brands
Of -four attracted much attention. He
received first premium for the best
float. The display of Landsberg, the
popular dry goods man, received sec
ond prize.
Mr.. George, the druggist, had an
attractive float, with white decora-
tons and large mirrors and carrying
several sweet little girls. -
The float Of Mcdonald, McCord &
Co., q display of farm machinery, was
very creditsble.
j. Harry Allen, the new clothier
ADVERTISED his business by having
pitched into the crowd some dozens
of gents' hats. Private carriages in
national colors lent charm to the
scene. In some of the banks and
business houses there were exhibits of
products, breads, cakes, etc. a1
The baby show was great. There
were about twenty entries. The
judges were bachelors well qualifi-

they were Lewis Jones, Thos. Phil

September 20, 1898. I

DEAR ADVOCATE:
Excuse the liberty that a soldier
takes in calling your attention to
few happenings that a soldier comes
in contact with in war life. want
to say to the young men in Montgom-
cry county, if you have a home or
any place to stay, don't join the army.
You may think you will have a pic
mic, but when you get to belong to
Uncle Sam you will find out different.
Our eatables are such as "hard tack"
hard ae rock you have to get a
set of false teeth every week 80 you
can bite them. Our coffee is toler-
ably fair; you drink gallon of hot
water to get pint of coffee. Our
meat is sometimes so tough you can't
stick fork in the gravy. Our beds
are large--nothing but the solid
earth.
We are new located in the State of
Alabama, about 800 miles from Mt.
Sterling. We are away back in the
mountains among rocks and little
email black sckets. The majority of
this Regiment want to be mustered
out. They are home-sick and tired Of
war life. There are several in the
hospital; several deaths in the lset
thirty days.
I live at Howard's Mill and you
know / have dreamed Of fishing be-
low the dam and going in my little
boat ND the creek to the DEVILS Back
bone. But my dreams were all In
lvain. When awoke / was lying on
the ground with my head on soft
soapstone rock. and was very badly
disappointed.
I think the Fourth will stay in SER
vice until their three years are out /.
But hope to come back to Howard's
Mill some day, although 1t is gener-
ally talked here that we will be sent
to Cuba In thirty days. Good night
to my Kentucky friends.

Echoes Prom Teachers Institute

No teacher can afford to be absent
from any convention of teachers.
A teacher should, even at personal
Inconvenience, attend the State Asso-
citation of Teachers.
The State Association of Teachers
will meet in Louisville during the
holidays.
No one can teach another how to
teach.
Another's theory is helpful only
when one has made that theory part
OF ones self.
A successful teacher can help
younger ones by giving them the ben
eft of his experience.
The teachers calling is a profess
sion. As such it should be consid-
cred by those who enter upon it. The
sscredness of this calling is second to
that of the ministry only.
The home. the street, the school.
room mold the character. We are TO
a great extent what our feelings are
The street appeals to the emotional
nature of children. How important
then that parents and teachers make
the school and the home more attract
i've than the street.
A workman in material objects
studies the nature of his material. A
teacher, far more than the artist or
the workman, should study his ma
terisl--the child.
We cannot know child until we
become acquainted with his environ
ment. y Teachers must fsmiliarize
themselves with the child's home, its
influence and It's surroundings &.
knowledge of the child is the most
important knowledge for teacher.
That no time be wasted in the
school-room by the teacher, thor
ough preparation must be made for
each days work before the opening
hour. Have opening exercises. Vary
them. The quickest way to wear out
q horse is by driving him over the
road every day.
Tearchers should bear in mind that
they are training boys and girls for
citizenship. In our country the citi-
zens are the Lawmakers. The laws
can be no higher than public opinion.
Lift up public opinion by elevating
the hearts and minds of our country
men. Teachers must accept their
share of this responsibility.
