Prof. A. Ell. Elliott, Cf Blue
Mountain, in collaboration with
DR.. J VIM. Jones. of Virginia,
has written a history of the
United States which is now in
press and will soon be issued
THE DISPATCH has not seen the
advance proof sheets of the work
and conseq aently knows nothing
as to It's merits, but as DR.. Jones
was Cen. Lees chaplain during
the Civil War, be ought to be in
a position to give pretty good
account of the great conflict. If
the history is fair and unbiased,
as it doubtless is, it should be
introduced in to our public
schools. Northern historians, as
is perfectly natural. lean toward
the side of the Union, and if boys
and girls are compelled to study
histories which are prejudiced in
favor of one side or the other,
those of the South ought to have
text books that favor the South,
for it is nothing but right that
the descendants Of the soldier
who fought for the Confederacy
should learn of their many deeds
of valor from their fathers.

wailing notes, Frank married

says, 'Oh, if I could just realize
and materialize the sentiment of
those notes.
Yes, Frank, but we are two
bachelors and doing nicely, and
we are such good friends why
not let matters stand as they are?
You know if you were to marry
a widow sure enough it would
sever our relationship.
Yes, but I am thoroughly dis
gusted with bachelordom. What
is a bachelor any way? First,
there are two kinds Of the var
mints, a dude bachelor and a
grass bachelor. A grass bach
elor is one who once had a girl,
told her so, and was kicked over
for his presnm ption and he is
now summing the single track to

me of the young rooster who
made his first attempt to crow ia
the presence of a stately young
hen, and she raised her left wing
and smote him on his cheek with
such a force that be lost his voice
and never tried to crow again.
He quit the poultry house and
roasted in a tree all to himself.
Just as we are doing. The dude
bachelor is one who wonld like to
marry but is too lazy to support
a wife, and IS ashamed of himself
and never enters the presence of
the ladies. He, too, reminds me
of a certain rooster. He got in
the habit of going in the garden.
The housewife caught him, pick
ed off half his feathers. pulled out
his tail, and said, Now go. sir,
/ bet you will be ashamed to
show yourselfagain soon. " Well,
that rooster never went in that
garden again. He quit the poul-
try yard. took to the woods and
made a first class dude rooster

shame to manhood, a carbuncle

The Summer Normal.

A circular letter has been re-
ceived from Hon. H. I. Whitfield,
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton, giving detailed information
regarding the normal school for
primary teachers which is to be
conducted here during the COM

be held at the Industrial Insti-
tute and College, and the teach
ers in attendance vii! board in
the dormitory. arrangements
having been made to furnish
board at S4. 90 per week or S14.O0
for the term of four weeks.
President Kincannon, of the
Industrial Institute and College,
has been appointed local direct
or, and will have entire charge
of the business department. All
inquiries regarding board, ar
rival of trains and other like in
formation should be addressed
to him.
Miss Florence E. Ward, of the
Fort Worth Kindergarten Col
lege, will be at the head of the
faculty and will have general
charge of the work. The Board
of Education, with the assistance
of Miss Ward, is now making up
a com plete faculty from the best

In his letter Superintendent
Whitfield states that it is his pur-
pose TO make this the best school
for primary teachers ever held
ia the South. The work offered
will in many respects be su-
perior to that of similar schools

these schools has been adjusted

the North, while the work of the
Colum bus normal has been adj
justed to educational conditions
as they exist IN the South
The school will be thoroughly
advertised. and it is expected
that there will be fully five hun.

The weather this week has
been all our farmers could ask.
and our locality has made turn
ing movement on the farm work.
The planting of corn will not be
oyer before June 1st.. as we had
to work out the crop which is up
and finish the planting later.
The cold wave brought the usual
result, lousy cotton, which is
another backset to the already
backward crop. However. the
land is not in such bad state as
was expected. The moisture is
being retained unusually long
considering the high winds we
have had. The only good feature
in the crop prospect is the sup
ply of feed stuff. There is an
abundance of corn ia the country
and the "donkeys are being well
fed and are doing their work
well.

There is a Farmers Institute in
almost every neighborhood. Put
your glasses on and look for the
farmer who gets there and stays
there. and you have your insti.
tute. The Hardy Brothers are
an institute. They get there aid

their attention from business.
