TljA?H^?OL?MN, J. G. CLINKSCALES, Editor. No public school for white children will be run during the County Normal. The ^Normal is for the benefit of the children and patrons of the schools as well as for the teachers. Better teachers, better schools. Let the teachers not fail to attend. And let the trustees, too, if they can. Let any friend to education come/. - Competent instructors have been employed and faithful work will be done. Be on hand at the opening exercises. The committee, consisting of Messrs. J. B. Vandiver, Foster Fant and the School Commissioner, requested by Miss Maggie Graham to decide as to who was entitled to the.handsome gold pen she offered for the best.oopy-book, decided, afXoXxVery careful examination, that it Bhould be given/to Miss Emma Earnpy. The i?py-book presented by Mi3s Eosa Dean deserves special mention. Indeed, it was almost akin to impossibility to de? termine whether there was really any difference between hers and the one pre? sented by Miss Eampy. The work was well done and reflects great credit upon the teacher as well as upon the patience and energy of the pupils. For the most faithful work, the prize, a volume of j Campbell's poems, was awarded by Miss Graham to Master M. J. Dean. Her school will; close to-day. HOW AUTHORS COMPOSE. The difference in the methods adopted by .different-authors is as great as the ajffex^n^jtt'. their choice of subjects.* There is a story quoted in illustration of the different characteristics of three great 'nationalties which equally illustrates the different paths which may be followed in airy intellectual enterprise. An Englishman, a Frenchman and a German, competing for a prize offered for the best essay on the natural history ' of the camel, adopted his own method of | research on the subject.; The German, laying in a stock of tobacco, retired to his. study in order to evolve from the depth of his philosophic consciousness . the primitive notion of a camel. The Frenchman resorted to the nearest li? brary, and ransacked its contents with a view to collect all that other men, had said upon the subject. The Englishman packed his carpet-bag and set sail for the East, that he might study the habits of | the animal in its original haunts. The blending of these three methods is the perfection of study; b ixb th e Frenchman's method is hot unknown even among Englishmen. Nor is it to be absolutely condemned. The man who reads a hun? dred books upon a subject, in order to write one, confers a real benefit upon so? ciety, provided he does his work well. But some very capital work has been I written without the necessity either of f research or of original investigation. Trollope drew his famous Archdeacon. He never lived in any cathedral city. | except London; Arch deacon Grantly was a child of "moral consciousness" alone; he knew nothing, except indirect ly, about Bishops and Deans. In fact, The Warden was conceived hot primarily as a clerical novel, but as a novel which should work out a dramatic situation? that of an honest, amiable man who was.'! the holder, by no fault of his own, of an endowment which was in itself an abuse, and on whose devoted head should fall" j the thunders of those who attacked the abuse. Bryan Waller Proctor had never seen the ocean when he wrote The Sea; neith? er Schiller nor Bossini had seen Switzer? land when they wrote their William Tells. George Cruikshankes, sketches of | the Boulevards and Palais Eoyal, elabo? rated from sketches furnished to him, were' wonderfully spirited and true, although he had never been across the Channel: Indeed, he never got beyond a French seaport in the course of his long life. A day at Bo.ulogue comprehended all bis continental experiences. Harrison Ainsworth, the. Lancashire novelist, when he wrote Rook wood and Jack Shepherd relied; absolutely, on bis power of reading up and assimilation, and never had the slightest intercourse 'with thieves in his life. ,It is said that when he wrote the really admirably ride of Turpin to .York, he only went at a great, pace over, the paper with a road map and description of the country in front of him. It was only- when he heard everybody say how truly the country was described, and bow faithfully he had observed distances and localities, that he actually drove over the ground for the first time, and declared that it was more like his account than he cc uld have im? agined.^ < "i? maijjwoold do well to carry a pen? cil' in his pocket, and write down the thoughts of the, moment. Those that come unsought/or are generally the most valuable, and should be secured,, because they seldom return." This was the ad? vice of Lord Bacon, whose example has been followed by many eminent men. For instance, it is said of Hobbs that, when he composed his- Leviathan, he walked much, and mused as he walked, r and that he bad in the head of his cane a pen and ink horn, and a note book in bis pocket. As soon as a thought darted into his miud he entered it in his book. Miss Martineau has recorded that Barry Cornwall's favorite method was indulged when alone in a crowd, and best iL the streets of London. He also had a habit of'rtfnning into a shop" to write down his verses. Tom Moore s custom was to compose as he walked. He had a table in his garden, on which be wrote down his thoughts. When the weather was bad' he paced up and down his small study. It is. extremely desirable that thoughts should be written as they ri=? in the mind, because if they are not recorded at that time they may never return. "I attach so much' importance to the ideas which come daring the night or in the morning," said Gaston Plante, the celebrated*.engineer, "that I have always, at' the head of my bed, paper and pencil suspended by string, by the help of which I write every morning the ideas I have been, able to conceive, par? ticularly on subjects of scientific research. I write these notes in obscurity, and de cipher and develop them in the morning, . pen in hand." The philosopher Emer? son took similar pains to catch a fleeting thought, tTor, whenever he bad a happy idea he wrote it down, and when Mrs. Emerson, startled in the night by some unusual sound, cried, "What is the mat? ter? Are you ..ill?" the philosopher softly replied, '*No, my dear; only an idea." Thackeay confessed that the title of his novel, Vanity Fair, came to him in the middle of the night, and- that he jumped out of bed and ran three times round the room, shouting the words. Whether in town or country, Landor reflected and composed habitually out walking, and, therefore, preferred at air times to walk alone. So did Buckle. Wordsworth was accustomed to compose his verse in his solitary walks, carry them in his memory, and get his wife or daughter to write them down on his return. His excursions and. peculiar habits gave rise to some anxious beliefs amongst the ignorant peasantry. Even his'sanity was questioned. The peasan? try of Eydal thought him "not quite his? se! because he always walked alone, and was met at odd times and in odd places. Some poets have been in the habit of humming or repeating their verses aloud as they composed them. Sontbey, for instance, boomed his verses so as to be mistaken for a bittern boom? ing by Wilson, who was a keen sports? man. If so, Sou they's voice most not have been very harmonious, for the bittern is Shakespeare's "night raven's dismal voice."?All the Year Round. General Grant's Burial Casket. The casket in which the remains of General Grant will be bnried is a "state" metallic casket, the finest and the only one of the kind ever made. The length is six feet and weight 250 pounds. The shell will be of red cedar, covered with the finest purple silk velvet, and with heavy solid silver mountings, bandies and portals. The inside metal is to be of highly polished copper one-eighth of an inch thick, which will be lined with very heavy creamed-colored satin, tufted and corded. There will be a pillow of the same material, upon which will be rib? bon-embroidered the initials "U. 8. G." in material of the same color. There will be a full-length bevel-edged glass. I The casket will be perfectly air-tight. The outside box of cedar will be heavily lined with lead, and with solid silver mountings and,, corner trimmings, pro? nounced as nearly indestructible as possi? ble.? New York World. Harrying for Money. I had a conversation recently with a very clever and attractive New York lady, who, among other misfortunes, was afflicted with $2,000,000. She said she would never marry, because she would not believe that any man wanted her for any other reason than her gold. "And what," I asked, "do you lose thereby ? If a gentleman takes you because you are so pretty, the small-pox, a fall from a horse, any accident may destroy your beauty, and where will his love be if it is for that reason only he took you? If another one falls in love with you because ?'ou are so fresh, so young, so lively, time s safe to destroy all that, and your hold on him is lost. But if he takes you for your money, you need only beware of dangerous speculations, and you will always keep the charm that brought him to yonr feet, and you have nothing to fear." "That is one way of looking at it," she said, and so completely did she em? brace my opinion that barely a year after I received ah invitation to her wedding with an English nobleman.?Temple Bar. Love's Young Dream. Edgar Begosh was a young lawyer in not very flourishing circumstances in Austin. Pecuniarily he might just as well have been an editor. He made up bis mind to marry for money, so he began Saying his addresses to one of the Misses [cHenepin. His courtship soon reached that point that he fell down on his knees before her, and, seizing her hands, said in an excited tone of voice : "Be mine, Miss Birdie. Without you life would be indeed a bleak Sahara. May I hope?" Miss Birdie McHenepin told him that she could never be more than a sister to him. ? "That's bad," he said, getting np and dusting off his pants; "out, say, Miss Birdie, you will put in a good word forme with your sister, won't you, eh 1"?Texas Stflings. : Twitting on Facts. Two men were quarreling. One of them threatened to shoot the other. The threatened main, in revival of an old piece of sarcasm, asked: "Where do you bury all your dead ?" I - Just then an excited man drew the satirist aside and said: "My gracious, you ought not to talk : hat way 1" "Which way?" . "Asking that man where he buries his dead." "Why?" "Because he is a physician."?Arkan saw Traveler. A Peculiar Disease. "How are the colored voters coming on out on Cedar Creek ?" asked a candidate of Uncle Mose, who came into Austin with a load of hay. "Dey's not well. Dar's some kind ob epidemic broke out among 'em." "Malaria?" "I dunno, boss. Mebbo dat's de name ob de stuff." "What stuff?" "De stuff a white man out dar got in the druggery shop. He puts hit in his watermellons. to keep de culled folkses from mistakin' 'em for dar own." ? Two or three weeks ago lightning struck and burned up a shock of wheat in Mr. Jas. Drummond's field in Laurens County. ? The new post-office building in New York cost nearly $7,000,000. It is the finest building devoted to the purpose on the continent. ? At Newell, N. C, ^six miles from Charlotte, N. C, a stroke of lightning killed a colored girl and broke her father's leg and killed a chicken and two dogs. ? Since 1870 Prance has had nineteen different cabinets, headed by fourteen different premiers?that is as many cab? inets in fifteen years as England has had since 1827. ? At a negro wedding, when the min ister read'the words "love, honor and obey," the groom interrupted him and said: "Bead that agin, sah; read it ! wunce mo', so's de lady kin ketch the full solemnity; of de meanin'. Ise ben married befo'." I . . ? ? "My dear, said a frightened hus? band in the middle of the night, shak? ing his wife, "where did you put that bottle of strychnine?" "On the shelf; next to the peppermint." "O, Lord I" I he groaned, "I've swallowed it." "Well, for goodness' sake," whispered his wife, "keep quiet, or you'll wake the baby." ? The bummer who wished to drink without money in a San Francisco saloon had once been a circus performer, and be thought that when somebody offered to pay for all the whiskey, he could swallow while standing on his head the task was easy. He inverted himself and gulped up a glass of spirits. The second was drunk with little difficulty. The third choked him terribly, brought on a hem? orrhage of the lungs and killed bim. ? An experienced foreman, who has an eye for philosophy, says that tools apparently partake of the temper of those who use them. A short grained man has nicked bits; the impetuous man broken ones; the lazy man, dull ones; the careless man, badly dressed ones; the man with one idea, one dress for all kinds of work ; the soft man can rarely keep the edge of a tcol from turning, while the good naturcd and even tem? pered man has the best tools in the shop, and is pestered continually by ill tem? pered workmen who come to borrow from him whenever they have a particu? lar piece of work to do. It is quite in? teresting to note the similarity of the tem? per of workmemnnd their tools. JIncklen's Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores Ulcers, Salt Rheum.

From the Atlanta Constitution. "My name Is Mary Chapman, and I live at the cornor of Williams and Cox streets, Atlanta. I have been a dreadful sufforer from scrofula and running, eating scrofulous ulcers for six years. Have been waited upon during the time by seven Atlanta physicians, but they failed to cure me. I also used various advertised remedies without the least benefit. While being thus treated, I grew worse all the time. Scrofulous swellings on both sides of my neck?which became running, eating sores, affecting my throat, mouth and nose. The eating sores on my neck were a mass of corrup? tion almost down to the bones. My throat be? came so much affected that I could scarcely swal? low, my food lodging in a portion of my throat. I lost my appetite entirely, lost my flesh, and was reduced to GO pounds weight?being a mero skele? ton. My whole system became terribly poisoned, and in a fearful condition. In this condition commenced the use of B. B. B., and found great relief in the first bottle. "When I had used five bottles my health had so much improved that the ulcers wore all healed, the swelling subsided, my appetite returned, my skin became active, my strength returned, and I gained 44 pounds of flesh. I am now healthy, fat and hearty, and am ablo to do as much work as any woman, and feel as happy as a lark." - mt 9 m , Kidney Complaint. For over six years I have been a terrible sufferer from a troublesome kidney complaint, for the re? lief of which I have spent over $250 without ben? efit, the most noted so-called remedies proving failures. The use of one singlo bottle of B. B. B. has boon marveloui, giving more relief than all other treatment combined. It is a quick cure, while others, if they cure at all, are in the distant future. C.

There did not seem any more s train on the Press than with a 450 lb. bale. For durability, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of space, I deem it the King of all Cotton Presses; especially so as the low price at which it can be bought puts it within reach of every man running a steam Gin.
