Children VIII Be Back in Their
Places After Ten Days Rest.
The city and county schools reopen to-
day after the holidays. The children have
had ten days relaxation from school du-
ties and will be able to start the new year
in fine fettle. They have enjoyed their
holidays and will all be in good trim for
the work of the coming term.
Superintendent Ashmore has found
places in the schools for few of the
children whose names have been for some
time on the waiting lists. Those children
will start to school to-day They have
been anxiously awaiting seats, or more
properly their parents have been awaiting
the chance to get them in. There yet re-
main number who cannot be accommo-
dated, but it is possible they may be adj
mitted before the term is over. There are
vacancies constantly occurring, and the
superintendent win fill these from the
names on his list as soon as they are re-
ported to him.
But few of the teachers went away to
spend their holidays. This was contrary
to their usual custom, 1t being the case
at nearly every Christmas season for
those whose homes are at distance to
visit them. This year they were content
to remain at their adopted home and with
their Savannah friends. The TWO or
three who went away, among them Mr.

SHOT FOR TURKEYS.
Cold Weather Did Not Keep Rifle
men off the Range

Yesterdays turkey shoot Of the savan-
nah Rife Association was a repetition Of
that Of year ago in that It was one Of
the coolest days on which the members
Of the association have ever gathered for
such a purpose. However, like that Of a
year. ago, the cold weather did not pre-
vent good attendance Of the members
and lively interest in the occasion, The
members of the association are TOO much
devoted 10 their sport 10 allow cold wealth
er to keep them away from the ranges on
New Years day
In spite of the unpleasant temperature
and the fact that there was a strong wind,
some very good shooting was done. The
members We're divided into four classes.
The shooting was at go and 800 yards, five
shots at each range, making a possible to-
tai score of 90
In the medal class, Mr.. A. Minis won
on score Of 43, % at 200 yards and 20 at
800 yards.
In the first class. Mr. II. e. Wilson was
the winner on a score of 49, 20 at 2c1 and
70 at 800 yards. Mr.. j. S. Schley won the
second prize in this class, also making
score Of 40, p at 200 and % az 800 yards.
Under the rules of the rife association,
where two scores are the same, the score
showing the greatest improvement at the
longer ranges wins.
In the second class, Mr. H. E. Charlton
was the winner on a score of 80. Mr.. Hen
ry 7. Williams was the winner in the third
class on a score Of 80.
The shooting al live turkeys, which is
now one of the established features of the
New Years shoot, proved very lively sport
and furnished much amusement TO the
marksmen. The contestants were lined UP
and shot in turn. The turkeys were placed
behind a barricade at a distance OF 100
yards, being in coops. Grain was scat
tered over the top of the coops, and as
the turkeys reached their heads through
the STATS to pick the grain, the heads be-
came visible to the marksmen.
DR.. F. G. Wilson bore off the honors of
the turkey shoot, killing every turkey at
which he shot and securing six of the
eight turkeys offered as prizes in this con-
test OF the other two turkeys, one was
secured by Mr. f. w Garden and one by
Mr.. J. c. Harris.
The oysters furnished for the occasion
were plentiful and fine, and as the brac-
ing weather gave the marksmen guile an
appetite, the open air feast was a very en-
joyable one The members returned to the
city in the afternoon, having spent about
four hours at the range.

SECOND PREsBYTERIAN CHURCH.
HuiIding VIII BE RemOdeIed in the

Near Future.
1t is the intention of the Second Presby-
terrain congregation to remodel its pres
ent church building as soon as it can con-
veniently do so after beginning the use of
the Lawton Memorial. 1t is the purpose
of the congregation to use the present
house of worship as Sunday school room
and place for the weekly prayer meet
,ings.
The Primitive Baptist congregation has
been using the Second Presbyterian
Church as meeting place The under
standing is that it will use it after the
Presbyterians begin worshiping in the
Memorial. The property cannot be sold,
as the terms under which it was received
by the Congregation of the Second church
from the Independent church trustees
make it impossible for them to dispose of
it. 1t is further said that the Presbyte-
rians do not desire, anyway, to get rid Of
the property. They want to keep it for
their own purposes.

PLAIN COMMON SENSE.
Really Nothing Else Is Required to
Raise Healthy Calves Under
Ordinary Conditions.

In all my experience I never lost but
dam. That was many years ago when
Hungarian grass first put in an appear
ance with US, and the hay fed to the
cow killed the calf, writes a contribu-
tor to Homestead. The milk caked in
the calf's stomach. My experience has
always been to restrict the feed of the
cow for two or three weeks before
calving, and if this is properly done |
think there will, as rule, be no scours
in the calf. The fatter the COW the
more care is necessary. l have had
cows come in that were fit for The
butchers block, and have allowed the
calves to take all the milk they would,
and this, too, without harm to them.
When the cow is not on grass feed
hay, and not too much, with no grain
whatever for at least a week before
calving. I also give little wheat bran
every other day for the sake of It's
regulating effect. Let the cow get
little hungry at this time, and it will
not hurt her, while it will benefit the
calf. This way of feeding with me has
always got the COW and her milk in
such a condition that the calf can have
all itswants of it. and 1 only take away
what is left. Sometimes the calf may
be little constipated, and when this
is so feed rlore bran and all will come
right. With me the question has not
been so much the quantity as the quail
ity of milk that makes the healthy
calf. I invariably leave the COW and
calf together for the first week or two.
During the month of May the COW
should be on the grass, but as calvino
time draws near she should be in the
stable at night. In June, when the
grass should be at its best, look out for
milk fever. If you have a lot where
the grass is short and not too plenti-
full, that is the best place for her. The
main idea that I would impress is
when the COW is fat and has been
fed high for about three weeks before
calving, the rich feed must be taken
away or scours in the calf will follow.
You may think it an epidemic or call
it what you will, but [ am satisfied this
is the cause that kills many calf and
what will kill one will kill more. think
the idea here advanced applies to horses
and hogs as well. As to the sheep,
know nothing about them.

ital will probably occur on Monday. Octo-
Der 2, although the date will depend upon
the length of the celebration in New York,
which is still unsettled. The principal
features Of the reception in Washington.
as planned by the citizens, with the CO.
operation OF the President and Cabinet,
will be two in number-the presentation
OF the sword voted by Congress and a
night parade. A public reception at the
White House will be followed by dinner
to the Admiral by President Mckinley.
The sword will be presented by Secretary
Long, at the east front of the Capitol, in
the presence of Mr.. Mckinley and all the
members of the Cabinet, late In the aft
ernoon, while the parade, consisting Of or
CARNATIONS of all kinds, will be accompa-
MED by an illumination of the city on q
scale Of beauty never before witnessed in
Washington.
The different features of the prepara-
tions are in the hands of central body
of citizens and eleven committees. en-
bracing in all over a thousand people.
Preparations for the celebration have
been in hand for over month.
The Baltimore and OHIO Railroad and
other railroads entering Washington have
agreed upon cheap rates for the celebra-
ton, and the committee expects that there
will be an outpouring of patriotic citizens
almost equal to the Inauguration of a

QUITE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Massachusetts Good Roads Advocates
Have a CInm-Bake and Listen
to Words of Wisdom.

Monson, Mass, is sometimes called
"the home of trap rock" and since trap
rock is the foundation stone of the
good roads movement, it isn't strange
that as many as 100 good roads adyo-
Gates gathered at the annual clam
bake. recently held in that city by men,
bers of the Connecticut Valley Highway
association. In his opening address
President W. L. Dickinson said:
II do not think it is necessary for me
to call attention to the object of this
meeting, as you are all enthusiastic
good roads men. Many of you have
travelled a long distance to attend this
meeting for the purpose of giving and
securing all the information possible
on the construction and maintenance
of roads. Those of us who have been
engaged in this work for a long term of
years realize to the fullest extent that
we have very much to learn, but in every
state, city and town we find plenty of
people without any experience III this
line of work who think they know it all,
and insist that this work shall be done
just as they direct, with the result that
our hands are often tied in such man
iIdt Jul
repeatedly to pay the bills for the ex-
pensive mistakes of these well-mcaning
citizens. This will continue until the
people appreciate the fact that the con-
strUction and maintenance of roads is
just as much trade rs any other bust
ness.
We have another class that desire to
beat the state. cities and towns III vari-
GUS ways. and because we endeavor to
prevent them from doing so, as we are
in duty bound. they will miscoHstrue
the facts in every way possible 10 the
public, for the purpose of gaining their
ends. We must have systematic work.
\ plan should be adopted in every state,
city and town, and at least portion of
1t carried out each year, and the differ
ent road materials should only be used
in their proper place, according to the
different conditions that exist in each
and every street.
"A proper system of maintenance
should be adopted. Whatever road ma
terial you use will in time need careful
repairs by men skilled in this work.
The old adage q stitch in time saves
nine applies here"
