THEY SAY Ah there, Charles!—To River View Sept. 10th. What keen perceptions and thin cutecles some people have! ‘The nicked flee when no man pursueth” is a true and trite saying. What do you suppose that B. F. P. wants with seven pictures of one girl? He must be inordinately smitten or something of the kind. A great time at River View Sept. 10th. By all means purchase your tickets. Did ycu evet see King Marlieux pucker his mouth to whistle? We have, and most of us_ respectfully beg to be excused from a repetition. Those Ga. people have little or no respect for the Messiah, Elijah or the balance of the prophetic host, as theyare entertaining them in the county jail. There is a King Solomon among the Ge. coons, and Sol. has pro- ceeded to surround himself with all the kingly concomitants ot his illus- trious predecessor, minus the wisdom. He is evidently wise enough to look after his own personal little self in charging his followers $5 a pair for mugs with which to go to glory on the 16th inst. Turn her on, Sol., as it is just one day after pay-day here, After the 16th comes troubleous times for them, as they refuse to till the soil, and, necessarily, must, in a few days, starve to death. The ministers in protesting against the fanaticism of Bell-ism say they are acrazy mob; that there isdanger of more becoming so; they are extremely megre, indecent and beastly, and that they will be- |} come paupers and thieves, and oth- er bad things. The Junior Excelsiors will go to River View Sept. 10th. All of this orginated from the fact of the education of several girls as missionaries, one of whom married an African chief, and re- turned and opened a vaudoo shop in®the woods of Ga., at which no whites were admit:ed. To see a man wearing his coat in the streets shows a proper regard for the ladies, but Dave Garrett says the novelty is destroyed by Fred Dyson in going in bis shirt sleeves to show his shape Prophet- ic Dave!

Derrick, its a church fight and we can afford to wait for the result of the investi— gation, which the accuced de— mands, OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE ARBITRARY ACTION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD CONDEMNED—THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH CROWDED —THE COMMISSIONERS REQUESTED TO ACT, The handsome edifice, the Metro- politan Church,was crowded on last Tuesday evening with a class of the best and most influential citizens of this city. The occasion was meet- ing called to protest against the action of the school trustees in ap- pointing teachers to positions in preferance to the Normal school graduates and contrary to the legal opinion of Attorney Riddle and the order of the District Commissioners. Mr. W. A. Stewart called the meet- ing to order and requested the call to be read by Mr. Clark. After- which, on motion of W. Calvin Chase, Col. M. M. Holland was elected chairman, and on motion of James Myers, Mr. Clark was elect- ed secretary. Mr. Stewart than moved for the appeintment of a committee on resolutions, which was carried, and the chair appoint- ed the following committee: W. A. Stewart, W. Calvin Chase, Thomas H. Clark, Carter A. Stewart, ‘Sr., and James Myers. The committee retired, and, after some discussion, the following preambles and resolu- tion were reported: “‘Whereas, in order to produce a healthy administration of the affairs of our public schools, it is necessary that the men selected to fill the office of trvstees should have an intelligent understanding ofthe laws relating to educational maiters in this District anda wholesome respect for the same. And, whereas, the present board of trustees in the management of our schools have evi- denced that they neither have an intelligent ungerstanding of the laws nora wholesome respect for the same. And whereas in order to protect our schools and furnish our children the invaluable bene- fits that would accrue to them by reason of an intelligent and conscientious supervision of the schoolsand a rigid enforcement of the wholesome laws clothing them and a wise expenditure of the large and generous appro priations made for their development and growth, we believe itabsolutely necessary to make a radical change In the personnel of the present school board: Therefore be it Resolved, That we earnestly urge upon the District commissioners the necessity for a re- organization of the school board und the se- lection in place of the incumbents of men who havean intelligent comprehension of the school laws and the need of the schools, and who will exercise a patriotic and unselfish enfercement of the same; that we give our un qualified support tothe recent order of the commissioners respecting the preference that should be given normal graduates; that the ignoring of this order by trustees is sufficient reason Of itself for the reconstruction of the board. taal a committee of seven be appointed by this meeting, of which the chairman of the meeting shall be one, to wait_on the commis- sioners and express to them the voice of the people in mass meeting assembled in relation to this all important subject of the education of our children.” Mr. J. W. Cromwell was the first speaker, and said that he favored the adoption of the resolution with the exception of the word, ‘‘misap- propriated the funds.” After dis- cussing the subject at length, he finally agreed to withdraw his ob- jection, after the matter had been fully explained to him. Mr. Chase thought the report should be adopt- ed. That the history of the colored school trustees for the last twelve years, witha fewexceptions had a dark history, so dark was that history that it would make this audience blush to relate the circumstances. It has been asked, said he, wheth- er there is anything else connected with the history of the present board of school trustees other than the disregard of the order of the commissioners and the opinion of the Attorney. Not long ago, said he, one of our normal schoo! grad- uates was dropped without judge or jury, and simply because she was so unfortunate as not to have poli- tical or other influence to keep her in position. It was no doubt on account of her mother being a wash- er woman. Is this all? No! At this junction Mr. W. H. Smith rose to a point of order, tothe af- fect that the speaker was indulging in personalities by naming those normal school graduates or teachers whohad been dismissed without cause. Mr. Chase in reply said that the question had been asked by Mr. Cromwell and that he wanted to show by facts that the colored trus- tees had been guilty of other acts as gro3s as the one tnder discus. sion. The question is, did the col- ored trustees disregard the laws, if so, they have defied the commis- sioners and should be removed, Mr. W.R. Laws made a most eloquent speech which elicited the wildest applause and eptbusiam. He said: Idon’t want any dis- crimination against teachers whose | mothers have worked in the wash- tub to support them while studying and whose fathers have pushed wheelbarrows and shoveled coal to buy them books, especially when! they put fine shoes on those big- headed gentlemen. Mr. W. H. Scott siid that the speaker was somewhat rash in his! remarks in view of the fact that, the trustees don’t get a dollar for} their services, Mr. Laws: I know they don’t,! but what about their appointing their families, brothers and sisters? J. . Coolidge, HARNESS:ATTACHMENT, Patented NovEMBER 131TH, 1888. THE GREATEST LIFE SAVING DEVICE. ee J.S. Cooripcr’s Harness Attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the Market. It is so ar- ranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It canbe taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse can be at- tached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extri- cated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the con- structions of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same maybe attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has heretofore been nec- cessary in order touse devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if. the horse runs or becomes unman- ageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 aside and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slight- est trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. [applause, which “lasted fully two minutes.] They don’t get salaries, oh, 0, but Iknow they can find positions for all the girls who grad- uate, because the teachers don’t marry and get out of the way quick enough. At the conclusion of Mr. Laws’ speech the applause was deatening. The chair appointed the following committee to wait on the Commis- sioners, under the above resolution : M. M. Helland, James H. Smith, W. A. Stewart, T. H. Clark, W. Calvin Chase, W. R. Laws, James Myers, W. B. Anderson, and John A. Simms. Mr. James H. Smith was the last speaker. He favored the adoption of the report of the committee and said that the Board of School trus- tees did violatethe law and the order of the Commissioners. Mr. A. St. A. Smith argued that the resolutions were too severe; that the opposition to the School Board was from a personal motive; that he did the same thing twelve years ago. em YOU WILL NEVER HAVE AN- : OTHER CHANCE! === Round--- TRIP TICKET ‘TO —— BOSTON, Massachusettes, AND RETURN --$12.00.-- First last and only chance at that Rate.
