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.n Many good ideas were ad- vanced and the discourse as whole was thought provoking. After recess aProfessional Oour- 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 a 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. 1 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 l teachers, who without sufficient cause absented themselves from the insti- tute.
 After reading by Prof. Hodges, the institute adjourned. DAVID BOWEN, Secretary.

His owner, as is understood in Mont
gomery. has no idea of winning He
merely desires to make a showing with
sunshine in order to get a good price for
him.
Sunshine first made his appearance in
Alabama several years ago when a Gyp-
sy went to the races in Birmingham with
him. The Romany nomad had the horse
entered in one of the fast races, but the
day before the fast race he started him
