ADMISSION, Ala, July II, 1S99.-Mr
A. Al Towers, Marietta, Ga Dear
Sir: In reply to your letter of the 18th
instant, have to say that the Pan Elec-
trio Telephone Company put in the
first telephones in Admission, Bell Com
pany came next and furnished their
telephones free until the Pan Electric
Company discontinued business, then
they put the price to 1890 per quar-
ter. Respectfully,

The Zion Baptist Church of this place
has called very remarkable colored
man as their pastor, and who for the
pest two months has been serving that
church in avery acceptable and efficient
manner. His name is Rev. q. p. john
son. He was born in Louisville, Ga,
in 1858, and was slave under Govern
or Herschel V. Johnson, and bears
that name. He was educated at the
expense of Hon. Alexander H. Steph-
ems. He graduated in the Medical
College in Boston, Mass, and is regu-
lar licenced physician. He has also
been admitted to the bar as lawyer.
He has fine education and has certifi-
Gates of endorsement from some OF the
most prominent men of Georgia. He
seeks to elevate his race and impress
upon them the fact that the Southern
people are, their best friends. In all
such efforts to do good, he is entitled
to the encouragement of our people.
There is in Marietta a harmless, half
witted negro man named Strickland,
who wears derby hat with white
ribbon band, who goes to sthe trains
regularly, as if he was looking for the
arrival of some one. He has been
keeping this up for long while. He
speaks of President Cleveland recog-
nizing him as an important parsonage,
and President Mckinley starting off SO
well by taking his advice. He attends
the white churches, takes seat in the
rear of the auditorium and pays re-
spectful attention to the. sermons. He
is always in good humor, talks good
naturally, and smiles frequently. There
is unfortunately no sense in his CONVEX
sation. He is never seen at work, and
how he lives is mystery.
Prof. George E.. Nolan, principal OF
Marietta public schools, is now. at
Chautauqua, New York, taking course
of studies, to better qualify himself
as teacher. Supt. Sanford is at Chi
cago University doing the same thing
Prof. Charles Clotfelter is teaching a
class in Marietta. Our Marietta teach
ers are determined to apply themselves
in their chosen profession.
