days over a couple of marriages
Tuesday, Hon. n. Il. Walker was in
this city on legal business. During
his absence Miss Matte May, his only
child, WAS married to a MIR. Walter
Smith, son of the turpentine man
down there by that name.
Mr.. Walker reached home Tues
day night and learned of the we'd
ding. The result was, that yesterday
morning just at daylight he and Miss
Alice Tully of the same place ap-
peared at the home of County judge
Giles, and were soon made man and
wife.
Of course. it soon leaked out and
the whole place was not only sur

is quite a young girl.
All the parties have many friends
here who will also be surprised.

him that while superintendent of the

OF years ago, he visited school, and
the teacher wanted to show the
brightness of the pupils, and asked
the superintendent to examine a

called, and he called upon a bright
girl to parse MARY MIXED the cow
The girl was ready, and began: Cow

assure you that they will poll a very
large majority of the votes in this
precinct. In saying this l do not
mean to disparage in the least the
candidacy OF any other gentleman in

personal friends of mine, and for
many other positions which | could
name it would be pleasure for me
to work for them. But, fellow DEM
Ocrats OF Leon county, the office of
County Commissioner is a response
BILE one. The Commissioners are the
men who fix our tax rates and dis
burse our money, and they must,
therefore, be men of business capac-
lty-men of good judgment, and free
from harmful prejudices, as well as
intelligent men. | might enlarge
upon this line of argument at con-
siderable length, but deem it neces
'ary only to direct attention to it,

o give it some thought and help us
'lect the gentlemen mentioned.
That done, we can rest assured taxes
will be low and money economically

In a special report recently published
by the State department are given facts
and figures about the European school
gardens. They are in successful oper-
alton in France, Germany. Switzerland,
Austria and Belgium, and all have
proved of great value. The pupils re-
ceive instruction in planting, pruning,
and the care Of trees and shrubs, the
preparation Of soils and the growing
of farm products. In addition to suca
distraction the course in some OF the
schools includes tuition in dairyins,
both practical and theoretical. The
school gardens are considered as parts
Of the system of agricultural or farm
schools, which are maintained by the
various governments. All the govern

tension Of the scientific knowledge of
farming, especially the German and
French. There are in France three
fully equipped farm schools, which are
defined as farms conducted with Skill
and profit on which apprentices chos-
