Lessons To Be Learned.

If there is any doubt in your
minds as to whether advertising
pays, drop in to The Woman s
Store most any day. 1t will
send the blood tingling through
your veins to mingle with a
crowd that plainly has in view
an object the exchange of dol
lars that are theirs for the of
ferings that store has on hand.
Tt will do you good to spend half
an hour where neglect finds no
resting place and dull moments
are unknown. The proprietor
of The Woman's Store believes
in advertising, especially If you
have anything worth Offering the
people; if you haven't, it is best
TO keep quiet and say nothing.
But at the same time he knows
that for the advertisement to
bring good results the store
must have the goods and the
values to back up every publish
ed statement. Honesty and in
tegrity are the lessons every
stores values ought to teach;
they are principles of which peo-
pie never tire, if they be con
sistently preached. By their
d eds should individuals
be judged, and by the same pro-
cess of reasoning should a store
court the most careful investiga-
ton of it's business offerings.
Every stores business meth
DDS will be weighed in the bal
ance of public opinion, and the
iberality of its patronage will be
proof that it has not been found
wanting. Seeing is believing.
Drop in at anytime at The Wo-
man s Store if you want proof of
these statements. Their great
liquidation sale continues
through this week, have you ex-
amined their offerings?

Base Ball.

The Columbus ball team left
yesterday afternoon for Tupelo
where they 90 to engage repre-
sentatives from that city in a
contest on the diamond The
boys 90 with the intention of
winning. and while their line up
presents number of the
younger element who have not
yet won reputation in stubborn
ly contested battles. yet what
they lack in experience is made
up in enthusiasm, The line up,
as they will appear in Tupelo, is
as follows: Locke, catcher; Hig-
gins and Wofford. alternate
pitcher and second base; PEBBLES,
first base; Afford. third base;
Dilbelbiss. short stop; Muslin,
left field; Reeves, center field !;
Ramage, right field; Mcdowell
and Cox, substitutes.
Upon their return to this city
the boys will begin preparations
to wipe out the Creek Indians
who appear here on the 9th. A
slight change in the line up is
contemp plated for this occasion,
it being hoped that Pete Cox
will be on hand to take his
place in the box. With this adj
dition, together with other re-
cruits that may be picked up
from the returning college boys
to strengthen weak places, they
intend To administer a drubbing
to the Creeks that will in part
compensate for their defeat at
the hands Of the CherokeeS.

OF Interest TO teachers.

State Superintendent of Edu-
cation Whitfield has addressed
the following circular letter to
the teachers of the State
The following is the general
statement of the work that will
be offered for the teachers dur
ing the coming sum mer. De
tailed information will be given
later.
First-The University Nor
NAL will begin work June a.
This work viii be carried on as
last year. Some of the best ed
vocational thinkers and workers
of the country will be on the pro-
gram. No primary work will be
offered at this Normal.
The railroad fare will be one
fare, plus % cents. If the agent
at any place has not instructions,
be sure to get a receipt for the
money paid for ticket.
THE University Normal will
be Of four weeks dGration for
those in the Normal Department.
and six weeks for those taking
regular work. At the close of
the four weeks term a cheap ex-
cursion to the ST. Louis Fair will
be arranged. State examina-
tions will be given at the opening
and closing of this Normal.
Second-A school for primary
teachers will be opened at the
Industrial Institute and College,
at Columbus, on June %. This
school will be in session for a
term of four weeks. Miss Flor
ence Ward, of Chicago, will have
charge of this school. The
Faculty will be gotten from the
best primary schools in America.
Work will be offered to the fifth
grade. At the close of this
So iol an examination will be
Civ ! for State license; the ques-
tons will be specially prepared
for primary teachers.
I hope that mum Der of teach
ers, male and female, will attend
this School from each county in
the State. Arrangements are
now being made for railroad
rates. Board will be had in the
College at the cheapest rates.
Third Institutes will be
held in the various counties dur
ing August. In as many coun-
ties as possible the institutes will
be in session for four weeks.
Textbook work will be done
largely in these country schools.
I would advise all teachers who
are deficient in text books of the
common school curriculum to at
tend one of these schools. The
schedules will be published later.
In conclusion, permit me to
indulge the hope that every
teacher in the State will avail
himself Of the opportunities of
fered, and will attend one of the
above schools. We are further
behind on the training of teachers
than we are in any other depart
ment Of our educational work.
The State has recognized her
teachers, and the teachers should
show their appreciation of this
recognition by making the very
best possible preparation for the
work.
