FRIDAYS SESSION.

The character of the work upon the last day, relating more to the method of teaching, rather than the subject matter taught, proved source of greater interest than the two pre- ceding days discussions. Mesdames J. T. Box and B. F. Whitaker and MT. w. B. Knight led in the treat ment of the subject, ''How to teach reading" Many good ideas were ad- vanced and the discourse as whole was thought provoking.
 After recess "ProfessiOnal Cour- tesy" was discussed at length, nearly everyone present engaging.
 The afternoon was taken up in the discussion of general topics pertain ing to education.
 The following resolution was offered by Prof. Hodges and unanimously adopted:
 "Resolved: By the Jackson County Institute in convention assembled,
 That we hereby urgently request Hon. J. H. Keel our representative in the legislature, to urge the passage of an amendment to our present school law so as to give to each county Superintendent of School in lieu of the Examiner, as at present and make him elective by popular vote as other county officers are now elected"
 Prof. J. R. Hodges was instructed by the institute to present this resolution to the Hon. J. H. Keel and to bespeak his earnest support of the same.
 The following resolution was un animously adopted.
 Resolved: That we tender our thanks to Prof. J. D. Neal for the courteous and impartial manner in which he has presided over the stated meetings of this institute and that we tender him our cordial cooperation in carrying on the schools of Jackson county"
 The Institute unanimously con- cured with Prof. Neal that it would be just to revoke the license of those teachers, who without sufficient cause absented themselves from the insti- tute.
 After a reading by Prof. Hodges, the institute adjourned

armed man and in company with Gus Jones in figuring up the fines and costs against Simmons, had found that it would have taken him p years to serve them out. The people of Jackson county had desired Simmons pardon, or why had petition of over 700 names been presented him. At this point the speaker unrolled the document of signatures, which proved quite lengthy affair. Tabor, the editor of the Searchlight, he said continuing his address, was a two bit editor, who filches the money of the good people of this state, professedly for the temperance cause, but ap- propriates it to his own use.
 He saw no good reason for pardon ding the other man (O'NeaD as he believed he was able to pay his fines. The law was not intended to entirely suppress a man and if the men who were running blind tigers would re form and quit the business, he would pardon them all. He was willing to put his record as a prosecuting attor- ney in the conviction of blind tigers against anyone; he had never been drunk and had never patted ''iuba" to negroes on the train.
 In a reply granted the opening speaker, Myers dared the governor or any of the insurgents to father the charges made against him relative to the homestead forgeries. Both speak CTS extended thanks to the audience for their attendance and close atten- ton and congratulated themselves and the state upon the interest mani fested by the ladies through their presence.

SEVENTH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Miss Thadeese Kinman, whose seventh birthday was upon Monday, remembered her friends upon that event by inviting quite a number of them to spend the hours from three to six at the pretty Kinman home at the corner of Third and Pine streets. At this tender age, mirth is never marred by fe cling of responsibility and care; and joy unalloyed may ever be depicted upon the counten- ances of the little ones at such social gatherings.
 The friendship of her guests was evidenced by many token which will always remain dear as childhood remembrances. Upon the birthday cake, seven candles beamed away and were used to tell the fortunes of those present in looking through the vista of years, which separated these young misses from full grown maids and tell which of the company should in the end prove the "old maid" All of those children's pastimes, that have been played since the oldest were young, were indulged in and of course enjoyed,
 Misses Kate Harder, Ida Parrish, Minnie Minor and Lucy Bailey as- sisted the little hostess in entertain ing, and the refreshments, which consisted of cream and cake were nicely served by Misses Aubrey Hill, Noreene Kinman and Mary Bailey.
 Those present were Misses Jose phine Walker, Elise Hooker, Francis Bailey, Willie Overton and Mildred Minor, Corinne and Aleen Mosby, Estelle Hite, Francis and Lela John- son, Dorothy Hill, Laura McMullen, Hattie Harland, Thelma Hays, Jewell Martin Daniel and Masters Charles Minor, Albert Bevins, Wiley McMinn.

DOLAN'S DREADFUL DEATH.
Thomas Dolan, Civil Engineer and Veteran of Blue Dies Thursday Evening From Injuries Re ceived By Falling On
 Picket.

Thomas DOlan, who came to New port as a civil engineer, engaged in work for the Morning Star Railroad dled Thursday night between ten and eleven o'clock at the house on the farm Of Wilmans Bros., near Harper's School House, seven miles east of this city in Village township.
 On Monday with a party of sur Veyors he began working east from here on the route of the proposed JonesbOro and Western Railroad, but the heat proved so intense Thursday afternoon that he was compelled to give up his work about four o'clock for fear of prostration and told the men with whom he was working that he would seek farm house to spend the night.
 This was the last seen of him until about 6:30 o'clock that evening, when he was found by Mark Harper in an almost lifeless condition hanging up on picket fence. In climbing the fence, his foot had probably slipped and the picket below had almost dis emboweled him.
 He was removed at once, being at tended by U. w. Brown and Wm. Richards of that neighborhood. A physician was sent for but arrived too late as death bad preceded him. He gave it as his opinion however that the deceased could not have endured such pain and was probably uncon- cious after the fall
 Arrangements were completed Fri day morning for the holding of the funeral at p. m. the same day; burial at Gum Grove cemetery.
 The deceased was about 55 years of age, served in the Union army during the war and came here from New York. By telegraphing to some of his acouaintances, it was found that his sister, Miss Nettie Dolan, was living in Wattervleit, suburb of Troy, New York, who was notified of his demise.
 He had made many friends while here who learn with deep regret of the awful manner of his death.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
 BIRD SHELTON.

Bird Shelton, the son of Mrs. Arthur Richardson, died suddenly at eleven o'clock Thursday night at the home of his parent on Hazel Street in this city. While the deceased had been sick for week with fever, his condition was not regarded as critical in the least, and the heart was probably affected.
 SnBird Shelton, who was known by the name of "Broncho," was born at Elgin in this county, thirty four years ago, and his life has been spent at Jacksonport and this city. He was member of the Newport fire company and could hardly have full filled the duties of this office more faithfully than is his record.
 The burial was to have taken place at Walnut Grove Cemetery at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon.
