FORMER PUPILS GATHER IN BRANDON
To UNvE|L MISS FRANKS MONUMENT
A Loving Tribute to the Memory Of a Great
Educator. Appropriate Exercises Will
Be Held johnson Hall.

To-day the pupils of Miss Frank john
son will unveiI a monument in the Brandon
cemetery to the memory Of this grand Wo-
man, whose life was spent in teaching the
then youths of this and adjoining counties
This monument is erected by the volun-
tary contributions Of her former pupils
many of whom have sought homes in
other states, as tribute Of love and VEN
Grafton.
For several years Miss Frank taught
With Prof. |. I. Fitzhugh at Syvarena,
Smith county, having previously taught in
the female college, Mt. SaIus, near Clinton;
afterwards until her death, which occurred
about 20 years ago, she was the honored
president of the Brandon Female College;
to this work she gave her time and labor
increasingly and ungrudngIy; to her it was
a labor of love- Quiet, modest, unpretent-
iouS, she wrought for the veal Of those en-
trusted to her care, building wiser than
she thought" unconscousIy she became
known throughout the state as one Of its
greatest teachers, and diploma from the
Brandon Female College was a warrant OF
service we'll performed. Miss Frank pos
sessed the happy faculty Of inparting in
struction and stimulating her scholars to
drin deep Of the Pyerian spring. her dis
scipIine was predicated on love. and the
fear Of displeasnu Miss Frank, or wounds
ing her, was a greater restraint than chas-
,tisement, to which she never-reSorted.
Some years ago a modest stone was
placed in the new part of the academy to
+Loie nd
JOHNSON HALL" given to the building,
but her pupils were not content with this
slight token Of esteem, and those residing
here inaugurated the movement for a more
substantial testimonial, which resulted in
the beautiful monument, which will be ur-
yelled today.
In this labor of love, and it entaiIed a
deal of work, these good women deserve
the congratulations Of their fellow pupils,
and the unstnted commentator OF all
who admired Miss Frank, which includes
not only our citizens but those Of other
communities, where her pupils have To-
Gated.
We feel proud to know that the char
acter and great work Of this great woman,
Miss Frank Johnson, is thus appreciated
in so fitting a manner; this monument will
in after years tell the story Of her fame, and
how her pupils venerated her memory.
The pilgrimage Of her pupils. to her
shrine on this occasion, and their devotion
to her memory, is a sweet tribute to Miss
Frank, who laid for them the foundation OF
future usefulness

THE FREE SEEDS HUMBUG.

The old free seeds" humbug Is still
being played upon the public. The
following letter needs nc explanation
and IL a model Of its kind:
Hon. Charles q. Ward, Washington,
n. c.:
siR-I regret extremely that you have
seen ~ to insult me by sending me the
enclosed worthless seeds. The original
idea Of sending out seeds from Washing
ton was with a view to introducing and
testing new varieties or hitherto un-
tried plants in various localities in the
hope Of thus aiding the agricultural in
dustry OF the country and adding to It's
wealth. This has now degenerated into
a most contemplate form or petty graft
maintained for the sole benefit OF a few
seedsmen and should long ago have
been abolished. And how any member
OF Congress can c~ountenance the prac.
tice Is beyond my understanding.
An excellent beginning In retrench.
ment and the abolition Of waste OF
public moneys could be made by cut
ting out the expense of purchasing these
seeds and the attendant costs OF dis
tributlon. including the printing and

OF all decent citizens and will find him
