A College Building.

The fact that our beautiful little
city is without school building
in which the school children can
meet with the teachers with any
degree of comfort for the next
few months, to receive instruction
in the different branches of study,
is lamentable, nevertheless such
is the case, and a residence build.
ing ont in the outskirts of town
must be used until better arrange
ments can be made.
A school building now becomes
a thing of necessity, and one
should be planned and built that
would ornament aud do credit to
the town. With the advantages
Savannah has, with a vast terrific
ry to draw patronage from, it is
the peer of any county town of its
size in the State for college. A
large and imposing brick struct-
ure, costing not less than $4,000,
should be built. Such a building
would accommodate home patro-
mage and hundreds of young men
and young ladies from distance
who might be induced to come to
Savannah to seek an education.
There is no disputing the fact
that our poor school facilities here
for the past few years has forced
many parents within the bounds
of Hardin county to send their
children elsewhere 10 educate

FIRE SUNDAY MORNING
COLLEGE BUILDING GOES UP IN
SMOKE.
ONE OTHER HOUSE NARROWLY
ESCAPES THE FLAMES.


On last Sunday morning, be-
tween the hours of 8 and 10
o'clock, the fire bell rang out and
it was soon discovered that the
college building in north Savan-
nah was on fire, and beyond con-
trole. The origin of the fire is
yet mystery, but, as there had
been no fire in the building for
nearly two days, leaves room to
suspect some one as having fired
it. The building was of pine and
made fast fuel for the flames.
The residence of Rev. s. Fl.
Holmes which stood only few
yards from the burned building,
narrowly escaped the flames, and
had it not been for the manly
work done by all who were on the
scene, it would have been a vic.im
of the fire demon.
The college building was the
property of Prof. II. j. COX, Ad'
amsville, Tenn. The loss is esti-
mated at something over $1,000,
with 5000 insurance.

POstOffice Etiquette.
(Copyrig hted.)

When you 60 to the postoffice
after your mail, it is proper 10
walk in and demand attention as
If the postmaster were a servant
of the people. That is what he is
paid for.
No odds whether you ever get
any mail or not. Neither does it
make one bit of difference if you
never expected any and couldn't
read it if you did get it.
If you come in after the general
delivery is closed you should stand
around awhile and cuss the post
master in particular and the gov
eminent in general. This is a
free country and you have a right
to do that. Go after your mail
every day. If you never got a
letter in your life you should
make it a point to go oftener, say
three or four times IA day, and tor
fear that you get tired or forget
to 60, instruct six or seven Of
your children, whose noses need
blowing, to be sure to 90. If the
postmaster doesn't stop every
thing else and wait on you or
your kids, report him to the post
master general.
But do not forget to go often
enough. Your mail might clog
up the traffic in the department
if you allow it to accumulate so.
Try and crowd ahead of every
body who does get mail, because
this being a free country, you
have a right to do that. If it
were not, the chances are that
many times you would get shot'
If there is nothing for you and
you knew before you went that
there would not be, then you
should stand at the delivery win
dow and argue the case with the
postmaster. In this way YOU will
make life worth living and at the
same time endear yourself to the
patrons who really get mail, by
compelling them to wait.
Always talk to the postm asier
in loud and obstreperoas tone
of voice to show folks that you
are not afraid. And if you have
a breath that smells like slaughter
house in August, stand as near
the postmaster as possible so that
he may not miss the scent. Ask
him why the package you were
expecting did not come. Very
likely he is hiding it somewhere
just to annoy yon. If he is not
he is different from most post.
masters.
When You send for stuff out OF
town, instead of buying it from
your own merchants, it is all
right for you to 20 to the post
master to see why it hasn't come
just fifteen minutes after you
have ordered il. and if it is not
there, then you may be sure it is
the fault of the postmaster. He
is probably using your money
awhile for the sake of the in.
terest.
Always get in the front line at
the delivery window and shove
right and left with your big, bony
elbow and if there are any child
rem ahead of you and their parents
are not around, crowd right ahead
of them. They can't help them.

is always glad to see you.
