Teachers Institute.

The County Institute for the white
teachers of Monroe county will be
held at the public school building at
Aberdeen, beginning on Monday,
August 80, and continuing one week
The Institute will be conducted by
Professor Weathersby, of Mississippi
College. Prof. Weathersby is an ex-
perienced Institute man and is an
able educator; and, with the hearty
cooperation of all teachers. will give
US the best Institute we ever had. His
work is specially adapted to the needs
of our country teachers, and IS in
tended to help them solve the prob
lens with which they are so frequent
ly confronted.
The County uperintendent expects
every teacher in the county to attend
this Institute, and - spend five days
in earnest, faithful work to increase
their usefulness in their respective
communities.
We had a successful Teachers In
stitute in this county last year, with
about ninety per cent. of the teachers
of the county in attendance. And as
a result of that Institute the Superin-
tendent could see decided improve
ment in the work of nearly all the
teachers who attended. Teachers who
attend Institutes and Teachers Asso-
Citations are worth more to the coun-
tY than teachers of similar grade who
do not attend. And those teachers
who neglect this opportunity for i'm
provement viii not receive salaries
equal to the salaries of those who
take advantage Of it. Let every teach
er in the county come.

The Murder of w. ~. McAliister
Solved.

A Jackson special gives the fol
lowing solution Of mysterious mur-
der at New Albany five years ago:
Arthur Prince, a negro, was
landed in the penitentiary ycster-
day for the second tine, and will
no doubt spend the balance OF his
days there, as he pleaded guilty to
murder in the Union county court
few days since, with the under
standing that he was To he given a
life sentence. This Is such an un-
usual case that brief history will
be read with interest:
Four or five years ago w. n ..
Ne Allistcr, Il prosperous iewelcr OF
New Albany was found dead on the
street, near his place Of business.
Blood hounds were placed on the
trail of the murderer and followed
it to the home Of a notorious wo-
man of the town, where a well
known young white man was found
to have been during the night and
the woman admitted as much. But
he was never tried for the murder,
and the community did not charge
it to him.
McAllister was shot ont in the
street, the assassin standing on the
inside of the store. He had been to
visit friend that night and was on
his way home at II O'Clock, going
by his store, and carrying as he al
ways did at night a satchel contain
ing diamonds and other valuable ar
ticles, which he kept IN his home
at night. That was not molested
Some time after the murder OF
McAlister this negro, Arthur Prince
was sent to the peniteutiary on a
burglary charge He had never
been suspected Of having murdered
McAllister, and never would have
been if his woman" had held her
tongue. While he vas serving his
short term for burglary the woman
informed sheriff Tate and Mr..
England that Prince was the MUIR
derer, and to prove her story told
where several watches and other
articles stolen from McAllister' s
jewelry store the night Of the muir
der had been hidden, and they were
recovered.
Messrs. Tate and England came
to Jackson, discussed the matter
with the Governor and other friends
and placed doubly strong guard
around Prince to prevent his escape,
and then went to the farm to talk
to the negro. What passed between
the officers from Union county and
the convict is not known, but he
was allowed no liberties and no way
to escape, and at the termination of
his term on the burglary charge, he
was taken back to Union county
where he had already been indicted
on the murder charge. and when
court was called at New Albany,
Prince pleaded guilty and was sent
back to the State farm to end his
days, and the mystery Of the assas-
sination of the jeweler was cleared
up. No appeal was taken to the
supreme coult-tbe negro had con-
fessed the crime in open court, and
it was settled
