TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The Benton County teachers
Institute closed its annual session
here last week, and it seems to be
the unanimous opinion Of all the
teachers that this has been one of
the most successful and interest
ing institutes ever held here.
County Superintendent Med.
Neal was conductor of the insti-
tnte, and about seventy-fye teach
ers attended throughout the ses-
sion. Every portion of the conn
ty was represented in the institute.
More interest is taken in public
education in Benton County now
than at any time in the past, and
the prospects were never before SO
sffattering for q successful school
year.
The teachers adopted the follow
ing resolutions which are in the
form Of a petition to the general
assembly:
Believing the education of the children
of Tennessee to be matter of the great
estimportance to the welfare of the,State
and recognizing the need for improve
ment in our schools of all grades and for
their more liberal support, we, the teach
ers of Benton County attending the county
institute, adopt the following resolutions
and hereby request our representatives
the State of TenRessee.to give their sup
port and influence to the enactment Of
such laws as will carry these resolutions
into effect:
u Some counties being much Jess able
to support theirschools than other coun-
ties, the State should contribute larger
amount from its treasury FOR the support
of the public schools than it now con-
tributes. We favor the levy Of State
school tax of ten cents on. each hundred
Edollars of taxable property, to be paid
into the State treasury and distributed to
the several counties on the basis OF the
school population, as the interest on the
school fund and the annual surplus are
now distributed.
| ~ There isgreat need for at least three
good normal schools, one in each grand
division OF the State, for training teach
Eers Dor the primaryand secondary schools
especially oivillages and of the rural dis
Etricts. The general assembly should APP
proprate from the surplus in the treas
Eury such sum, probably about 100000 Q
Eyearl as may be necessary for the main
Etenance OF those schools, and should en-
act the necessary laws, for their govern
ment.
(3l We approve the efforts now being
made for the reconstruction of the Pea
body, College at Nashville in order that
it may be made teachers college of
high grade for all the South. The per-
manent location of such an institution in
Tennessee can not fail to be very helpful
to all its educational interests. II the
| Peabody board will agree to endow this
school with a sam not less than 81 ,000,-
600, the general assembly should enact
such laws as may be necessary to make
the present appropriation ($25,00o per
Year, permanent,
The following resolution was
adopted by the teachers. before f..
nal adjournment.
Resolved, that we, the teachers of
Benton County assembled in this nor.
NAL do heartily endorse the past admin
istration of Superintendent Med Neal,
land. that we further urge and endorse
him fog cur 1ext superintendent in this
county.

The Soulful Kitten.

It has long been my belief that fairies are the little souls of some thing. At first I was puzzled to know of what, but since the coming of Sem- iramis it is quite simple. Her mys- terious amber eyes and 1.-the body of furry silver have taught me the truth; fairies are the souls of all little kit tens. And let only him deny this who can cast the first proof to the con- traryi
 I say let '.him" deny 1t; for what ever is fragrant to believe and pleas ant to preach about the kittens of the world, every woman is fain to accept and to repeat How gladly, then, will she welcome such fair doctrine as this concerning the kittens that have left the world! And if her own Hit tie lion, small and dainty sweet" be still her daily companion, she has only to sit with 1t in her arms for an hour some night when the moon is full, to understand that to arrange all strange. sweet influences and potent hidden lpresences the reticent, eerie little creature is akin. Especially will she feel this if as I trust. every woman loves a(kitten knows it has been nam- ed for some beautiful dead queen.- Zona Gale in April Outing.

 "Oh, that's all right" replied Ticker, smiling; tits my wife's."
 NO, no, that won't do,' responded the friend. Your wife's hair is darker than thato
 This made Ticker trifle angry, and he exclaimed excitedly; T tell you, it's my wife's. fancy I know my wife's hair when I see it''
 Well, you certainly ought to-" said the friend. But are you sure?'
 Sure? Of course I am. Why do you ask?''

At ten o'clock to neighboring store-the cashier sends him there To buy some crackers and cheese for him the office boy gets his share. At eleven he goes for popcorn balls for the booklzeeper, who gives Him half It really seems very strange the office boy still lives.
