Mr.. Furr, the audito-, and myself
had arranged to leave Union Sunday
evening. and spent the night near
Lockhart, SO as to be able to make an
early start taking returns at Lock

began to fall and continued until
about l o clock, and 1 had about gave
out the idea of ofmakiug, the trip. But
the weather cleared up, tho sun came
on: bright and we made the start
about 4 o'clock. We spent the nigh.
q the home Of Mr.. Fsrrs aunt. Mrs, +
Union. This is very comfortable
and pleasant home, situated some
distance from the public road and
somewhat at the foot of the surround
ing hills. The late Mr.. Gist Farr
was married the second time, and
reared quite large family ofchillrcn
all of whom are now grown, and
some of them msrried. Two Of the
sons and the youngest daughter are
at home with the mother. We en-
joyed a very pleasant evening at this
home and left Monday morning for
Lockhart, arriving there about 10
o'clock.
At Lockhart we met many Of our
friends with whom we had become
acquainted upon former visits, we
put in pretty busy day at Lockhart
leaving in time to make our next
destination before night. We found
everything as lively as ever at Lock
hart, the mill putting in full time
turning ou. its usual amount of ex-
cellent cloth, and the shipping clerk
busy making up biles and the wagons
strung out all along the roads to
Jonesyille hauling to and from the
mill.
The work of grading on the rail

cation 1t is thought work on the new
school will begin not long after, though
1t cannot be said when the building will
be completed The Board of Education
has but the $4,000 appropriated to spend
on the school, and the next grand jury
will have TO be asked for an additional
appropriation.
The school will face on Eighth street,
and it is probable that it will be known
as the Eighth Street School The GUS
tom has grown up of calling the schools
of the city by the name of the streets
upon which they are located, notwith-
standing the fact that the Board of Edu-
cation has tried to give them distinctive
names. II was even sought az one time
to number the schools, but that plan also
had to give way to the evident desire or
the public to designate the schools by the
names of the streets on which they are
located.
The frontage will be TO the north, and
the school will stand on the block be-
tween jefferson and Montgomery, with
Wells Square 90 the west Mr.. Myers be-
lieves the school will be as handsome as
could possibly be built with the limited
means the board will have at it's disposi-
ton. It's front will be 100 feet and there
win be twelve large class rooms. The ar
rangement will be practically that of the
Anderson Street School, with the exceD-
don that the adaptation will be to a 'front.'
age on the north instead of the south,
as Is the case with the Anderson Street
Sthocol.
The architectural effect of the Ander-
son Street School has been altered, but
The building will be scarcely the less at
tractive. The exterior will be succeed.
The Anderson Street School is regarded
as the most perfect In the city. and, as
nearly as possible, the new building will
be its prototype Mr.. G.. l.. Norman of
Atlanta drew the plans for the Anderson
Street School and for the Eighth Street
school as well. adapting the former to
the new location.
1t is not believed the $4,000 In hand will
90 very far toward the completion of the
building. The committee will exercise ev-
cry economy possible. but fully as large
an appropriation will have to be made by
the next grand jury. II Is hardly thought
that the roof can be put on the building
with the present funds.

Two prospectors, just returned from
long and fruitless search for gold among
the rugged mountains of Central Amer

nounced by naturallsts who have seen the
remarkably fine specimens brought here
by the finders to be the strangest and rar-

of the New York run, but found the Brit
ish metropolis in a state of great depres
sion because of the war in South Africa.
Accordingly, the company returned to
America sooner than expected, and is fin
fishing the season in a tour of the West
and South. Therefore theater-goers are
to have an unusual opportunity of seeing
great play presented exactly as il was
in New York and London, with the origi-
nal scenery, costumes and stage settings
and a company numbering thirty-two
speaking parts. Among the well-known
American players are Wilton Backaye,
William Norris, Guy Bates Post, Gus

One of the best titles every given to
farce comedy is Browns i'm Town, 3"
which win be the attraction March H.
There is something amusing in the sug-
geStton as to why this numerous gentle
man is in town. The amusing situations
of the farce are said to never pail on any
one. The story of Browns in Town" is
told by young players, which is a novel
feature i'll itself, and in farce cannot help
to be entertaining when illustrated by such
clever collection of comedians as seen
in this one The management is conl-
dent that Browns in Town" will not
be compared TO any of the latter day
farces as the story is an entirely new
and original one. Several musical num-
bers are introduced and ore said to fit in
admirably. The farce is in three acts,
all of which takes place on a summer $
day. and the plot hinges on the story of a
young man who is secretly married
against the wishes of stern father,

reasons for asking his son to remain q

DR.. LeHardy's plea for plenty OF fresh
air is of the first Importance, but scarce
ly less so is that of fitting some hundreds
of young girls for their future domestic
duties as wives and mothers, and IL Sa-
vannah is to keep in the van Of modern
progress some such provision will GER
tainly have TO be made sooner or later by
the intelligent and high-minded gentle-
men who have the matter in charge, and
successive generations of husbands and
fathers will certainly rise up and call
them blessed, If in addition to the pres
ent system, some instruction is given in
cooking, sewing and the care Of homes.
Most of them would exchange all the
ologies and isms that Boston could pro-
duce for well-cooked meal, a well-or-
dered house. and now that there is such
a general disposition to look with con-

Every woman, high and low, rich and

German phrase. 1t is the business of a
womans life to care for her home hus-
band, children. and no education can be
said 10 be complete that does not fit her
to do her duty there; and this fact is now
being universally recognized and acted
upon; in Europe and in this country as
well. That our girls should not know how

and broil steak, in a republic like ours
when the Queen of England the Prin-
cesses, Duchesses and Countesses of Eu-
rope are notable housewives, is surely
very singular and a mistake that the
American people recognize and have set
themselves TO remedy. A woman's range
of thought and activity need not be linn
tied to the kitchen range but without
some practical knowledge of such matters
she finds her housekeeping all fret and
worry and tribulation and tears for tho
first five years of her married life while
her husband sits down with what philoso-
ply and good temper he can muster to a
long series of bad dinners. and the health
