A NATIONS DEAD.

On the occasion of decoration
day at Dyersburg last week, Aaron
G. Davis of the Democrat wrote
the following appropriate lines:
"Long ago the flag of the Con-
federacy went down upon a sea of
patriot blood, and beneath it's sa-
cred folds, forever furled, the holt
est cause for which mortals ever
fought lies dead. No nation ever
rose so glorious, and no one ever
fell so free from sin. IL was the
PATRIOTS fondest dream-a peoples
dearest hope, and when it fell all
that was bright and hopeful passed
from our yearning clasp amid the
shadows of a dark despair. Fear
ful were the dark forbodings that
the future held, but our dear old
South. "more beautiful in her con.
secrated coronet of sorrow" has
nobly passed the dark ordeal. She
stands to-day beneath the opal skies
where roses blow and lilies dream

And still she holds to all the sweet

We are having fine rains this
week.
Is any one going to tag their dog?
We have our first one to see.
There is Sunday school and sing
ing at Pleasant Hill each Sunday
morning.
Some tobacco is being set this
week. There is a large crop Of
sorghum planted, and everything
will be sweet and sticky Later on.
We hope that none Of GRese in
authority will take any exceptions
when we kindly ask them to please
not obstruct the public roads for a
season, as we can get to and from
town now without running much
risk of loosing life or a limb. It
seems they have taken the same
view of the matter. How long will
it last, is the all absorbing question.
Now please don't obstruct nature in
leveling the roads or filling up a
rut now and then by working" the
roads.

ing children's day at the Methodist
Church was postponed until Sun
day night. The program publish

the children taking part in the ex-

great credit. The interior of the
church was tastefully decorated
with flowers and eyerygreeus, three
arches adding to the beauty of the
scene. Standing room was at
premium, but the evening was
pleasant, and the occasion was
most enjoyable one.

COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
 RECEIVES ANNUAL REPORTS
Donations to Charity.

Our Association has shown great generosity in Its donations to chari- table. educational and patriotic enter prises, and with no little pride we re- fer to the $, 900 raised by the Associa- tion through its committees for the Galveston sufferers; $500 for the Indus trial School for Boys at Birmingham, which was 50 per cent more than was expected of us; $500 for the "Battleship Fund" of the U. s. s. Alabama silver service; and convention expenses on several occasions.
 During the past year the Alabama Legislature has met and soon delegates to the Constitutional Convention will give lively appearance to our streets during the hot summer.
 The wora of your Association has been done mainly through organized committees, and how we'll that work has been done will he disclosed in the reports presented tonight for your con. sideration. To the efficient Board of Directors. to the committeeman, and to the Secretary, you and I are indebted. and our thanks are rendered them. Much yet remains to be done, and with an elegant ten-story hotel and a beau tifui library to mark the progress of the next term, we have reason to feel some pride and pomp in the offspring of our handiwork.

 Represented in Conventions.
 Abroad we have been represented at the meeting Of the Southern Industrial League at Atlanta: the southern h. dustriai Convention at New Orleans. the Brunswick and Birmingham Rail- road Convention at Brunswick ard the National, siood Roads Association at New Orleans.
 Next month upon invitation of this Association there will assemble in this city two influential organizations in annual session, the Alabama Com mercial and Industrial Association and the Alabama Press Association. At no time in it's history perhaps does Mont gomery need so much as at that time (the Constitutional Convention being in session) a strong and loyal following among those of influence throughout the State. The business men and men of affairs who will be here, and the editors from all over the State should have our most careful attention.
 Our Convention Committee In con- junction with our Entertainment Com. mittee. should be delegated tonight with authority to raise by subscription if necessary. whatever sum of money is needed in their Judgment to acQuit our selves with honor and credit upon this asion.
 I will not at this time bring any special matter to your attention. There may be some worthy of 1t, but the pre- eminent importance of one subject towers above and excludes thought of all others. Until that question is met and solved by the business community of Montgomery, we need address our selves to no other task. No progress sive, loyal citizen can feel a real pride in the city in which he lives, or can 20 out among the outside world with self-confidence and qualification, until "Montgomerys Hotels cease to be by-word in the mouths of the travel ing public.
 We want large conventions to assem- ble here from time to time, but at what hotel would you urge them to stop? We want tourists from the North to spend a month or two in the city each winter, but to what hotel would you cordially commend them? We want to entertain distinguished guests from other States. who may be nere upon affairs of State or national import ance, but to what hotel would you point with pride and confidence?
 The same question meets ,:s on every hand and must be answered. I believe it will be answered tonight. believe in the men who in time past rallied to our city's need, and built the Audi torium. I believe in the men who put their shoulders to the wheel and rear ed the splendid factory now standing upon our river front. l believe in the men who have 90 recently provide the means for a site for our magnificent public library. For after all is Ssid and done. it Is men more than natural advantages, that makes city grtat. Ant with the history of our successes in the past we must ani will meet the present emergency as progressive bus mess men should.

requires the maintenance of manual training school in every city m the State, and as a result, the pronciency of men is higher in that than m any other State. Tn many other states. cities of certain classes are required 70 maintain such schools. Recently. Att lanta entered the ranks and has nad almost a year of experience, ana IL is safe to say that they do not regret ". They began in a small way. as we ought; but once begun. the work will grow in spite of obstacles and opposi- tion. The good results of manual eau cation or training cannot be stated in such a report as this, but it Is well known that it adds to the interest in all school work. increases the emcien- cy of the pupil in other studies. and gives to skilled labor dignity very much wanting in our State. not to men, tion the direct benefits. A candid con- alteration of the matter will convince anyone of the benefits and necessity of such training.
 Here again, the lack of means stands in the way. There must be material equipment and a competent instructor. but the cost of neither is very formid- able. Atlanta began her bench work at a cost of about $400. Montgomery can start with less. and if the public | should be secured, and we have no doubt the equipment could be provided in one days soliciting.
 But the two needs above outlined can be supplied in part by one man. The instructor in manual training could de- vote half his time to the regular high school work, and for a year or two no other additional force would be needed. So. at a cost of about $750 a year, the boys high school can be made much more efficient. and the manual training can be started.
 We are happy to learn that at re- cent meeting of the School Board, these matters were considered and a spe- cial committee on manual training ap- pointed. The superintendent is we'll informed and deeply interested in the matter and in favor of making a start There is ample room in the basement of the Capitol Hill building.
 This Association began to agitate the manual training idea two years ago, but we allowed Atlanta to begin work ahead of us. We hope this meeting will recommend to the Board of Education most favorable consideration of plans to begin the work next fall.

MIR. BALL REPORTS
 FOR SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

The report of the Standing Commit tee on Schools was read by MT. +. 5. Ball It was as follows:
 To the Commercial and Industrial As-
 sociation:
 The public schools of the city are about to close very successful ana satisfactory year. The increase in at tendance over last year is over 2eO. A year ago. the rooms were crowded and many children were turned away, put at present there are ample accommo- dations. It Is no longer necessary to use the basement rooms of the Capi- tol Hill building. The Decatur Street building, erected last summer, Is the handsomest in the city, and ofie of the best in the South. The other buildings are generally in good condition. There has been no lack of harmony among the Board of Education, Superinten- dent and teaching corps. The recent school census shows about $500 cfil- dren of school age within the oorpo- rate limits, a considerable increase over the last census.
 There are two subjects worthy of consideration, one Is the high school for boys, and the other, manual training. The girls hig1 school with four grades. affords excel lent higher education for the girls and enrolls about 180. No regular high school for boys is maintained. The time of one teacher is devoted to the higher instruction of boys in branches corresponding with the first two grades in the girls high school. but 1t Is im- possible for him to teach the two classes in the various studies of the two grades. There are thirty-five boys in this work. The city needs a first class four grade high school for boys. While we are fortunate to have in our city excellent private schools for boys taking the place in part of such high school. yet many boys are deprived or this higher education by want Of mon ey to pay tuition. and it Is not right that men should have to pay $60 to $lO9 A year for private tuition for each boy when ample provision can be made in the public schools. There is no city in our country, perhaps, of ehe import ance of ours which has no boys high school. A few years ago. good start was made. and if it had been kept up, A flourishing school would have been the result by this time. But the means were not at hand and the work was dropped. That chsre is need for suc1 a school is evidenced by the attend ance of thirty-five boys in the two grades now maintained under such diff ficulties.
 Demand for Manual Training.
 The demand for manual training is snraa ading and increasing all over the country. Tn Massachusetts, statute
