 First they obtained the use of piece of vacant land on Jackson road, which was then an open grass plot. Then an appeal was made by the com mittee to the department of agriculture at Washington for free seeds. which were promptly sent The committee sent [ circular letter to about fifteen Of the enterpr1sing business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the gA1den school and asking them if the! Wsre sufficiently interested In the ex pertinent to give fl some financial sup port
 The response was quick. and nj the snd of a week we had the required el0O, and the director went to work One hundred and six gardens by s: feet were planted by as many ditferen. children from the Nonantum 6istr,ct. and the names of as many more inter esfed children were placed on the walt Ing list.

The reward was a scarlet runner at the doorstep. row each of lettuce. radishes and beans and for garden flowers Dasturtiums. sunhowers and sweet alyssum.

What One Man Is Doing to lmprov.
 Jack-on, Tenn.
 One of the most progressive tow officials ill the south is Samuel Lan caster, city engineer of Jackson, Tenn Mr. Lancaster thinks there Is DO place like Jackson, and ne wants others l. think so, too, and ne Is doing every thing In his power to make 1t one ot the prettiest towns in the country. I; is due in great measure to his of forts that good roads are being built iD Madison county. But road building Is not all that has engrossed the big brai1 of San Lancaster, says writer it. Breeders Gazette. As manager o: the waterworks he saw chance tn do things Jackson had no park and nea' the waterworks there was needed s raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made the fill. and before any one knew what he was up to he had built a fine lake on the site whence came the earth for the f1ll. Smaller lakes near by cam> then drives, bridges. boats. lilies {mal velous lilies), banks of flowers, trees
 An unsightly railway yard adjoined the waterworks. The railway was ask Cd for few cars of earth Presto. Sam made the yard and the park join. Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty. order seats, comfort, inspiration, hope. all came out of that old sink hole And the manager only grinned when he saw that Sam Lancaster had actual, parked and fenced part of hi~ right of way. Now travellers on tha; railway will pass by and say. Jack son, Tenn, is beautiful place and must have people of culture within it.

Well-Known Teacher Tells
of Trip and People He
Met There.
Editor Pensacola Journal:

Editor Pensacola Journal:
| had a delightful trip on the City
of Tampa OH Friday. the 11th inst.
After reading The Journal through. l
went up on the upper deck. and was
pleased TO make the acquaintance OF
several passengers whom | found to
be very agreeable companions.
The first | met was DR.. Goethe and
as he and l were soon merged in dis
cussing the difference between the
school books of the present time and
fifty years ago, | observed a very nice
looking, middle-aged lady who was sit
ting near by. and who seemed to DE
interested in our conversation Among
the different subjects, we brought up
arithmetic; and, while stating a prob
lem. | put down a instead of B.
The lady called my attention to the
fact. | thanked her for the correction
and told her she must be a teacher
She said she had taught some. which
caused me to claim good handshake-
I told her / had small problem
which ] would Ike to have her work
for me- If agreeable She solved the
problem in less than one minute.
Imagine my surprise when l after
wards found out | had been talking
with the principal OF the Bagdad high
school.
Upon further investigation | found
she is the sister of Miss Stella Cur
ley. who was one of the best teachers
| had during my administration as
county superintendent of schools in
1SS2-S3.
was glad to meet my old friend
Capt. john ROUTke, at Bagdad. while
the boat was stopped TO put off some
freight Mrs. Shivers and her daugh-
ter. Mrs Una Hobbs, came on board
and came UP to Milton. The lady and
her daughter are my particular friends
and I told Mrs Hobbs she looked bet
ter than I ever saw her before, and
that / was willing TO bet she would
be married in less than six months;
and 10 and behold, she was married
on Saturday, the second night after
| met her on the steamer Widows
will marry-especiaIIy if they are
young and handsome.
Friday night was spent with Supt.
E. L. Mcdaniel and family Mr.. and
Mrs Mcdaniel are gifted with the art
of making their guests feel at home.
Any man who has handsome daugh-
tiers will always be popular among the
young men, therefore Mr.. NJ Daniel
will be q favorite with the beaux.
On Saturday evening / came to A
H Aliens and on Monday. the 14th
inst, I opened school No. ~ at
Mitchell, with Is pupils The pupils
are taking great pride in coming every
day and are learning rapidly
The crops in this vicinity are the
finest / ever saw, and the farmers
say:

and we wear #"

The NoiseIess Pavement.

Next to the elevated railroads the
greatest cause of noise in the down
town district is the pavement of stone
blocks Perhaps it is an even greater
cause than the railroads, because il
is so widely distributed. At any rate
the uproar from the traffic on this
pavement forces many people who
have Offices above the streets to keeI
their windows closed. and when there
is talk of street improvements much
attention should be given to the idea
of noiseless observation-disclosures Rec

Victims of the Phcnoqraph.
If the typewriter has to a great ex
tent rendered the art of penmanship
useless, the phOnOgraph, which ap.

has done it's share toward retiring
the professional taIker, not to give him
the more dignifed title of orator or
lecturer. When one man in a half
hour can furnish the material for rec

lions of hearers, the natural tendency
is TO throw a large number of takers

Under the new military Law the
militia of all the States is being or
ganized as a reserve of the regular

the new army regulations should per
nit militia officers to take courses of
study in the military schools and col
legeS of the United States. Hereafter
the various army schools and the Ar
my Staf College at Fort Leaven-

his address at the Army Service

be officers of squadrons and batta-
