THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

Written for The Republican,
Now all young boys and gilrs take
warning.
Fol your hearts will be merry and
filed up with glee;
Santa Claus will come on Christmas
morning
So everyone be ready with your
Christmas tree.
He will come down the chimney whilst
the night winds are mocking.
And from whence he shall come no
one shall see;
He will bring lots of candy to put in
your stocking
So hang it up high on the Christmas
tree.
He will come in the night, and his
bells he'll be ringing:
His hair will be white-as white as
can be;
And all kinds of presents to you he'll
be bringing,
And hang them all over your Christ
mas tree.
But remember Santa Claus is a jeal-
Gus old fellow;
He has no use for bad children. and
that you will see,
For if you are bad when you wake in
the morning,
You will find no nice presents on
your Christmas tree.

LEoNARDS FINED $500 EACH.
Gave Bond and VIII Apply for n
New Trial.

Edward A. Leonard and Dennis
Leonard were each sentenced by Judge
Barrow yesterday to pay a fine of
$500 and costs, or serve twelve months
on the chaingang. The negro, Rich
ard Brown, who was placed on trial
with the Leonards, and was along with
them convicted of buying and receiv-
ing stolen brasses, was fined 800 and
costs.
The Morning News stated yesterday
that a verdict of guilty with a rec
ommendation that the defendants be
punished as for a misdemeanor, had
had been returned. The defendants
were arraigned before Judge Barrow
at o'clock and sentence was passed.
Robert L. Colding, Esq, gave notice
of his intention to apply for new
trial, and bond in double the amount
of the fine in each case was furnished.
The defendants insist that they are
not guilty of the crime charged and
that they purchased the brasses stolen
from Rourkes foundry in good faith
During the trial of the case Police
man Martin Scully was a witness for
the Leonards. The question arose as
to whether the officer had ever arrest
ed them. He showed conclusively that
he had not, but had docketed them
by order of the late Superintendent of
Police Screven for failing to make
prompt reports of junk brought to
their place as requested by ordinance.

FIRING THE BIG GUNS.
Annual Practice in Progress at Fort
ScrcNen. Ty-bee

The annual target practice with the
great guns at Fort Screven began yes
terday afternoon. when two of the
eight-inch disappearing rifles were
fired. Each gun was fired five times,
and some excellent workmanship was
shown. The work of the gun crews in
handling the pieces was also very eff
ficient, showing that their drills are
effective in producing good results.
Parrot projectiles, weighing each $50
pounds, were used, the charge lending
them its energy being of sixty pounds.
The distance of the target varied, the
greatest range being about $500 yards.
Several hits were recorded.
Had it not been that the target
was blown over by the strong wind
that prevailed, the twelve-inch guns
would also have been fired. With the
overturning of the target, however,
the object at which the firing was to
be done disappeared, and a postpone
ment until it could be readjusted was
rendered necessary.
Two sail boats about $50 feet apart.
with a square of canvas strung be-
tween them, constitute the target,
which is towed by a launch. The
launch has tow line about 400 yards
long, as firing is not always so accu-
rate as to render it altogether safe
to be in the immediate vicinity of the
target.
Efforts are made to make the tar
get much like a ship of-war in it's
dimensions, in order that an idea may
be gained of the efficiency of the guns
and their crews if an enemy were pit
ted against them. If a shot strikes
one of the boats, between them, or
few feet across the bow of the lead
ing or a few feet behind the stern of
the following one, a hit is scored.
To-day the twelve-inch guns will be
fired They will send 1000 pound pro-
jectiles to a greater range than the
eight-inch guns, and the charges will
weigh $50 pounds. The rapid fire guns
will also be fired to-day. On Monday
the practice win be completed with the
firing of the mortars, which are r.
inch bores. These mortars send a
plunging fire. The target will be at a
distance of about 1000 yards from
them,

TEACHERS STAY IN
MISS LEBEY AND MISS OEMLER
AGAIN GIVEN CLASSES.
MISS MILLER MAY GET ONE.
WILL BE RETAINED IF PLACE IN
ANOTHER SCHOOL CAN BE FOUND.

All Three of the Teachers and Prin-
cipaIs Before the Board of Educa-
ton at "a Special Meeting-Miss MIL
Ier's Case First Decided on Adj
verseIy and Afterwards Recon-
sidered-The Board Thanked Mr.. J..
5. Sims for His Frankness and
Caudor-COmmittee of Three APP
pointed TO Investigate Questions
Concerning COIOred Schools.
Two of the public school teachers
who failed at the recent annual cleo
ton of teachers were unanimously re-
elected yesterday by the Board of Ed
ucation, and the third will be given
class, provided Supt. Ashmore can pro-
vide a place for her in some school
other than thot in which she formerly
taught.
The teachers reelected are Miss
Julia a. Lebey and Miss E. L. Oemler
of the Thirty eighth Street School. The
teacher elected Professionally is Miss
L. L. Miller of Chatham School No. l.
The board held a lengthy session be-
fore it reached a decision, and both
the teachers themselves and their
principals, because of whose reports
they had failed to be reelected, were
present.
Miss Miller's case was first consid-
cred. After Miss Miller and Mr.. ]. s.
Sims, principal of the Chatham School
No. l, had made statements, Col. ]. H.
EstilI of the Board of Education moved
that Miss Miller be elected to her for
mer position. AS a substitute Mr. S.
b Adams offered the following mo-
ton That Miss Miller be continued
as a teacher, provided she can be
transferred by the superintendent to
another school. This being done in the
full recognition of the fact that the
principal, in, making his report, has
done his duty and the board expresses
its appreciation of his frankness and
candor.'
The substitute was defeated, as well
as the original motion, and the matter
went over until the cases of the other
teachers had been disposed of when
Miss Miller's case was again taken up
and Mr.. Adams motion was adopted.
At the meeting were Col. George A.
Mercer, and Messrs. j. r. Saussy, j.
H. Estill, T. j. Charlton, M. A.
O'Byfne, S. B. Adams w. F. Dunn, P.
A Stovall, LeeRoy Myers and Henry
Blum.
Speaking of the matter after the
meeting, a member of the board said
that 1t had been his understanding
that the board at it's annual meeting,
at which the teachers whose cases were
considered yesterday, had failed of
re- election, had not acted finally in the
matter and intended to take up the
cases at a subsequent meeting.
The board has appointed Col. Mercer
Mr. Saussy and Superintendent Ash
more a committee to look into various
matters affecting the colored schools.
