The County Association.

A good deal has been SAID about
the dark side of the last three meet
'ings of the County Teachers Asso-
citation; the non-attendance OF many
Of the teachers in the county, show
ing the little interest they take IN
educational matters not OF 1mmed1-
ate personal concern to them, being
the darkest side we see.
But when we stop and think that
nearly all the schools in the county
had closed even before the first one
of these meetings this spring OF the
Association, and that the teachers
of those schools are likely pursuing
other vocations to supplement their
small salaries in order to exc out a
meagre living; or that other teach
ers have drifted into different parts
of the country, then we must throw
the mantle OF charity over the dark
side, There are several bright pic
lures; one is, the beautiful building
in which these gatherings have been
held. Only those who have taught
in old, gloomy, poorly lighted, poor
" ventilated buildings, with floors
and stairways worn in ruts by the
footsteps of the children of many
past generations, can appreciate
this handsome structure in which
the children of Union City assemble
daily to be taught. The assocla-
ton has convened in the high school
hall. whose walls are decorated
with many flags of different sizes,
and upon these walls hang the Por-
traits of Washington, Jefferson and
Lee, three men who are specially
dear to the heart of every South
erner. This hall is pleasant, in
wiling room, fit place for teachers
to meet in.
The cheerful, kindly faces OF
the faithful few who never fail to
be where duty and educational
meetings call them, is bright side
and that these meetings are grow
ing in interest, enthusiasm, and
members, is cheering. There have
been some fine talks made at every
one of these meetings that were
calculated TO give renewed zeal to,
and raise the ideal of the listeners.
The pupils of the high school
and grammar school have added a
good deal to the pleasure of the

friend He wants to make of us
better teachers and he plainly
shows this. Else, why are we call
ed together in the teachers meet
ing? Why these earnest talks
when he gets a few of us together?
Why these appeals through the
county papers? Have you heard of
any political "bee?" No, nor has
any one. ]. M. Moore doesn't wear
even political bonnet, much less
political bee. Are his motives 9th
erwise sordid? No, he is merely
clean, honest official which heaven
sometimes gives to people. And
now will you follow such man? If
so, lend hand and heave to.
And he is also the friend of the
school boy and girl, since he works
earnestly for better teachers, better
school houses and all advancement
along educational lines. Is there
movement of the educational order
then he's for it, no matter where.
To speak specifically, has he not,
with the aid of others, given us the
best attended teachers meetings of
many day? Then we would men
ton the able vice presidents about
in the county whom he has to assist
him in working up educational in
terest. II we had their names we
would give them here. However, it
is theirs to arrange for meetings in
their respective communities and
invite the superintendent to attend
all with a view to arousing school
enthusiasm among the people,
Moreover, ]. M. Moore has friends
in the members of our worthy
county court. AS a result of this,
and as token of their esteem, they
give him funds with which to hold
county summer school-or 1nsti-
tute Heretofore we have had only
a week or so. This SUMMER we
have a regular four weeks term,
with four instructors. Our super
intendent is one of these, but re-
ceIves none of the funds appropri-
ated by the county for the holding
of the institute. This is certainly
unsatisfactory worthy of reward,
since he might have pay for this
extra work if he so desired. But
he declines, because, as he says, be-
ing a servant of the county in re-
spect to things educational, it is
his pleasure to do all he can and to
expect nothing more than his regu-
lar salary. If this does not give
promise of successful administers

Our County superintendent.

AS member Of Obion county's
teaching corps, and as president of
the County Teachers Association :
if that title carries any weight ad-
ditional to the mere cognomen-I
wish to laud the worthy efforts of
our County Superintendent, J. M.
Moore.
In this man the teacher finds a
friend, who, while he will probably
not hesitate to trim and cut with
his official lancet, is still the true
teachers friend nevertheless,

SO successful What is the secret of it all We have
these questions asked us many times day
The secrets OF success are many. They not

Men who we'll and favoraby known to every intelligent

any of the different departments, produce of
vehicles that not exactly represented by u.s. and
this coupled with our effort to see how MUCH we
give for the money-nstead of how LITILE-has made
the Banner Buggy the greatest on earth.
This is no idle boast egotstca statement but is
fact that Banner Buggy Company representatives sell
buggies smaller margins and give for the money

that they getting just what they pay for and that they

Friday and Saturday; and as re-
suit believe almost every teacher
present at the meeting Saturday
will go to Fulton, for at least one
day and if possible for both days.
Those of the county teachers who
were not present at the meeting
Saturday are to be pitied, for they
missed quite a treat. All the
teachers should have heard the talk
made by Mr.. Darrah, explaining
the Summer Institute, which Mr..
Darrah is to have charge of. His
talk was very helpful to those who
expect to attend the Institute, and
l think it they had heard Mr..
Moore's talks they would all make
an effort to be present at the Insti-
tute.

reached in which every teacher was
asked to state whether he or she
was going to Fulton, the enthusi-
asm was very marked, for all, with
one voice, proclaimed the glad news
"When the roll is called in Fulton
I'll be there" The enthusiasm
reached it's climax when a magis-
trate arose and made it known that
he would be present when the roll
was called. Every teacher present
wished that this kind of magistrates
peopled the entire state. A minis
ter caught the feeling and regretted
that duties made it impossible for
him to attend. Thus many things
convince us that Obion county will
be well represented at our West
Tennessee Teachers Association.
Each teacher present seemed to
have so much of the professional
spirit in him that he was eager and
very anxious to attend the meeting.
Our county meeting seemed to fos-
ter or cultivate a desire to meet
and exchange ideas with other
teachers-as all teachers meetings
should.
The meeting adjourned with the
watchword, "On 10 Fulton"

one of those Oblon County Teach
ers meetings, of course. They are
the talk of the season. IT'S said
that the last one was the best of
all, and everyone expressed himself
as well pleased with the day and
certainly glad that he attended; that
the talks we're all excellent and to
the point; that the music was very
good; that the dinner, the most i'm
portant feature of the occasion, was
splendid, for every one knows that

anything it is sure to be success,
and that everything passed off nice

Saturday. Much, however, was
heard in the intervals concerning
the Institute to be held here during
July for the county teachers. Supt.
A. E. Darrah made talk, outlining
part of the work to be done, and
his remarks impressed us with the
fact that the undertaking. is we'll

spirit and efficiency, making alto

county teachers cannot afford to
neglect.

No SEARCH FOR
COAL SHIP HULK
Navy Department Nay Destroy
Kerr as Menace to
Navigation.

The Mikahala did not sail in search
OF the Fannie Kerr yesterday as had
been anticipated. and II is probable
that no search will be made at present.
In that event Admiral Merry of the
Navy Department will be notified by
the Collector OF Customs of the dan
ger to navigation in permitting the
Kerr to remain as she Is. and 1t is pos
sible that he may send a vessel to
either bring her into port or blow
her up.
There was some talk on the water
front yesterday. after the Mikahala's
plans were changed. of sending a gaso-
line schooner. probably the Eclipse, in
search of the hulk. A local sea cap
tain Is said TO be behind this scheme,
and he was around yesterday trying to
get twelve men from the Fannie Kerr
to accompany him on the cruise. The
plan Of the hui, which was organized
with $4,000 capital, to secure a steamer
Is said to have been abandoned.
President Ena or the Inter Island
Company gave yesterday as a reason
for the change in the plan regarding
the Mikahala, the possibility OF the
Kerr being so deep in the water as to
make il impossible to tow her in. The
steel plates. 1t was thought. might also
have been corrugated by the intense
heat. while the water would have
warped the woodwork. These and 9TH
err reasons were responsible for the de-
cision not to send the Mikahala out.
On the waterfront it was reported
yesterday that the Fannie Kerr had a
large amount of guncotton aboard,
which quite possibly would have ex-
ploded upon the fire reaching the stor-
age place. blowing up the boat.
The men of the Kerr believe, how
ever. that she is still afioat and in good
condition.
