CREO|TA8LE DISPLAY BY PUPILS
Exhibit of School Children Admired
by Hundreds Of Visitors.

Hundreds of visitors saw and
admired the fine display of written
work, drawings and manual labor
creations in the various rooms at the
morning. These exhibits have been
given annually for several years and
while they always have been largely
attended the number of visitors
who passed through the rooms on
the last day of the present school
term exceeded all previous records.
largest in the history OF the school,
but the display was larger and of
higher class than ever seen before,
The work shown was a strong evil
dence of the rapid advancement that
is being made by the pupils Of this
school under a corps of faithful eff
ficient and painstaking teachers.
The teachers deserve a great deal
of credit for the assistance they rem
dered the pupils in their respective
rooms in preparing these exhibits for
the closing day of the school. The
hundreds OF papers with which the
rooms were decorated represented
many hours of arduous toll on the
part of the pupils, and the general
excellency of their preparation re-
| fleets the proficient instruction they
received at the hands of their teach
| ers. Some of the rooms were verit-
able art studios. In the art drawings
the new process of water colors was
used to a striking advantage. The
myriads of maps and drawings of
! natural objects which adorned the
walls can be easily classed with
those of pupils of any school in the
state. In one room a unique affair
was the arrangement of map or
! the United States from colored sec
tions of paper which represented the
relative size and shape of the sever
al states and territories. Another in

! This method of studying the works
of the great poets has been found
! to be very profitable as it gives the
! pupils impressions they never for
get.
The display in the manual tram
! ing department was of higher
grade this year than usual. This
character of work receives its great
est emphasis in the first and second
grades Here the children are taught
to be useful with their hands as well
as with their minds.

TERRIBLE FAMILY GATHERING
All Were in Kansas Prison, and
Gathered About Bedside of Dy-
ing Wife and Mother.

In the Kansas penitentiary at
Eeayenworth there was a terrible
family gathering when the death of
Mrs. Statfleback, an inmate, occurred.
She was 70 years old. When she
realized her serious condition she
asked that her son, George StafTie-
back, life convict and Charles Will
son, her second husband, another
convict, be brought to her bedside.
They were taken over by the prison
officers.
Mrs. Staf1ieback was taken to the
Kansas penitentiary in May, 1897, to
serve a 21-year sentence for murder
in the second degree. At the same
time two of her sons We're taken in
under life sentences, a third son to
serve seven years, and Charles Will
son, her husband, to serve 25 years.
One of the sons serving a life SEN
tence died four years ago. The third
one served out his seven years, and
is now serving term in the Missouri
penitentiary.
The StaffiebaCks lived near Galena,
Kan, and were accused of numerous
and atrociOus murders. They ran a
hotel, and it was alleged that they
murdered guests who had money and
threw their bodies into a deserted
mine.

Cotton Oil Kills Ticks.

Some of the cattle when received
are found to have ticks and other
parasites. Cotton seed oil is rubbed
very effective in killing off these
nuisances and starting the hides into
a healthy growth. Everything is be-
ing carefully studied this season, as
it is intended to continue the work
in after years, and the experience
now obtained will be of much value
hereafter
OF course the twenty-five acres in
which the cattle is being herded is
being made immensely rich in fer
tiliZerS. Every week the drOppings
are plowed under. At the end of the
ninety days it can be readily appre-
ciated that there will probably be
no field in all Georgia that will be
as fertile as this one. Corn will then
be planted, and it is expected that
COMMUNICATING crop will be made.
AS there is more or less waste
around the feeding trOughs it is
probable that some hogs will be
turned into the field to fatten on this
and other products of the oil mill.
In this way the profits of the bust
ness will be further increased.
Manager George w. Riley, under
whose direction the work is being
conducted, is very well satisfied with
the results up to this time. Later
on the cattle will be marketed at
Augusta, Jacksonville, Columbus and
other markets.
