EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Miss Floyd Beacham has large and
interesting school at Heuck's Retreat
The county superintendent had the
pleasure of visiting this school on
thanksgiving Day and was very much
pleased to find every one so much en-
Unused. The teacher is one of the
youngest employed in our winter
schools, yet she is disciplinarian and
VIII make the school success.
Heuck's Retreat will make a good show
ing at our annual meeting.
Prof. j. A. Dent and Miss Docia
Moore are teaching one of the largest
schools at Goodwater that the commu-
nifty has ever had. The patrons are
proud of their new school room. Com
modious, well-lighted and comfortable.
1t shows the progressive spirit of its
projectors.
Are those piney forests between Mr..
Jim Whites and Prof. Girault's haunt
ed Possibly not. But the County
superintendent passed through there
in the night and his horse seemed to
think that a goblin danced behind ev-
cry tree. After such an experience it is
not very soothing to pass over the di-
lapidated old bridge at the water-mill
and see between every crack the re
hection from ten feet of icy water be
low.
Prof. J. NJ. Girault and Miss Blanche
Decell have well-attended school at
Little Bahala. Prof Girauit is one of
the pioneer teachers of the county. He

or these he has taught in three, begin
ming in 1871. He is up-tO-date in his
methods, but is old fashioned enough
to believe in order and in study. In
times of peace he resorts to moral sua
sion, but in times of trouble he makes
inroads on convenient black gum
thicket. Mr.. Editor, it might have re-
minded you of days long gone by to
have heard him lecture some young
gentlemen that seemed to be afflicted
with 'possum hunting proclivities.

Excelsior House Partially Burned.

The Excelsior House, owned by Mrs.
Il. Z. Turnbough and conducted by
Mrs. H. l.. Nicholson and her two
daughters as boarding house, was
discovered on fire about seven o'clock
Friday morning The flames were
well under way when the alarm was
sounded and on account of the steam
having Shut down at the power house
for the day there was some delay in
getting full pressure of water by the
fire department which soon arrived on
the ground. When the firemen did
get to work they did magnificent ser
vice and saved all the lower portion of
thehouse andthe neighboring buildings
Mrs. Nicholson lost everything she
had i'll the upper story except the con-
tents of one room and all those of her
boarders except one. who were room
ing upstairs, lost their effects. The
furniture and contents of the lower
story were all saved, but in a some
what damaged condition. Mrs Turn
bough carried $500 insurance in the
Home Insurance Co, of New York, rep
resented by J. F. Miazza, which will
cover the damage to the building
Unfortunately, Mrs. Nicholson had no
insurance whatever. She had lately
come here from Wesson, and having
invested largely in furniture for her
new home, the blow to her is a very
heavy one indeed
1t is thought that the fire originated
from lamp that was left burning
without chimney. The good work
that an earnest and energetic fire de-
partment can do was again amply de-
monstrated by the service rendered
during this fire. Mrs. Nicholson de-
sires to express her thanks to the peo-
pie for the sympathy and material aid
given her and to the fire company for
their noble work in preventing further
disaster.

Resolved, That the South is a bet
ter territory for factories than the
East" was the subject of an animated
debate at Whitworth College last Sat
urday evening The Philomathean and
Harvey johnson societies were repre-
sented respectively by Misses Mary
Chambers and Pearl Williams, on the
affirmative; Misses Virgie Marshall and
Mary Connolly, on the negative side.
The judges we're Mr.. Teat, Mrs. j. j.
McGrath and Mrs. Hobbs. The gifted
young principal of the public school
rendered the decision in favor of the
affirmative, complimenting in glowing
terms the soulful efforts of the ambi-
tious competitors. A notable feature
of the evening was the admirable sing
ing by Mrs. Snyder. Surely more
gifted vocalist has never been in our
midst. Another distinguishing ele-
ment was the opening of the program
with prayer by one of the consecrated
young women of the college. The Col
lege yell closed the evening, amid the
rejoicing of the victors and their
friends.

this time Mullin had his left hand al
ready in his pocket and when Anglin
pushed him back he put his right hand
in his pocket and advanced on Anglin
pulling both hands out as he went.
Then Anglin commenced shooting. He
expected to see both men draw pistols
when Mullin advanced with his hands

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.

Twenty five Years Constant Use with
out Failure.
The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in child subject to that
disease it may be taken as sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough
cough. fChamberlain's Cough Rene
dy is given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the at
tack. 1t is used in many thousands of
homes in this broad land and never
disappoints the anxious mothers. We
have yet to learn of single instance
in which it has not proved effectual.

keogh and De Orc to Play for
Pool Championship.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ROWING

The Washington Athletic Club bowlers
slightly increased their standing in the Dis
trict Bowling League last night, by defeat
ing the league leaders, the Carroll Institute
team. The games were rolled at the Athlet-
ic clubs house. The scores average up bet
ter than usual and both teams played a
good style of bowling. Both sides passed
the 500 mark, the CAROLS being aided ma
terially in their big game by the fine run of
Armstrong. His 233 places him in the lead
for best individual game. The highest single
score of asst season was made on the same
alleys by Spiess of the Saengerbund. Arm
strongs game was secured by bowling a
double, a triple and sparing in all other
boxes and finishing 20 in the last frame.
J Dietz returned to the game and boWled
creditably. leading his side in the first
game.
The figures of the first game show con-
clusvely that it was strike bowling that
did the winning. 1t is a peculiar feature
that, while Carroll had but one more strike
and -four more spares. that the difference
should have amounted to so many pins in
the total. Armstrong; string kept the Car
rolls ahead throughout.
The score follows:

1t was Mr. Fosters first public effort since

with close attention by a large audience.
