Invitation to Teachers.

Huntingdon is out after the an
nual meeting of the State Teachers
Institute, which convenes some time
during the summer months for a
six weeks session. President A. e.
Booth of the Southern Normal Uni
versity, has been in Nashville in the
interest of the city's claims, and
thinks that the chances for securing
the big meeting of pedagogues are
very bright. Huntingdon can and
will entertain most royalty the 800
or more people who are expected to
attend the meeting, should that city
be so fortunate as to secure it. An
invitation will be extended and a
movement pushed forward to that
end.

SIXTY-EIGHTH DAY.

The house had great difficulty in main
tanning a quorum; in fact, for half an hour
quorum could be secured, although the
speaker, through his sergeant-at-arms, made
the most strenuous efforts to bring i'll mem-
bers. Not few of the younger members
have become much interested in Nash
of forcing an extra session. There was Op-
position in the house to the general appro-
priation bill, but the leaders finally got the
measure up and after amending it in several
particulars passed it.
The senate later declined to concur and
conferees will be appointed. The house de-
clined to concur in the senate amendments
to the revenue bill, but an agreement WAS
reached on the Confederate pension bill, by
which fourth and fifth-clasS pensions are
created. The senate disposed Of the miscel-
laneous appropriation bill, but not until 1t
had been SO changed the house is not likely
to concur.
Other matters in both the house and sen
ate pertained to matters more local than
otherwise and will not be repeated here.
