T^??HEJR^'?OLUMN. J. G. CLINKSCALES, Editob. Mb. Editor : I feel interested in you aud your teachers, especially the teach? ers. The most of them are young, and for that reason I feel a mother's desire to give them a few words of advice, though they may not take it. My dear children, do not feel offended, but I would like to know whether you are. trying to train the hearts of your pupils for Heaven ? or, are yon only trying to prepare them for this world? Do you open your school with prayer, and show them by your words and example that yon trust in a higher power? You!have children in your schools that never hear a prayer at home; their hearts need training; they need encouragement, and this work is in a great measure your work. Ob, what a great opportunity you have for doing good I Do not leave any thing undone that you can do for your Master. Your Feiend. [It is with pleasure that we give space to the above note. It is timely and pointed, and comes from one of the best women in the County. In behalf of the teachers we thank her for the kindly in-, terest she manifests in them and their work. We a re;, gl ad it is our privilege to state that many of the teachers are God-fearing men and women, and appre? ciate the magnitude of their work. Will our correspondent favor us with another letter, and tell us how schools were man? aged many years ago when she was a girl?-ED.j'. A practical, pointed, suggestive ques? tion put incidentally to a student, whether he answer it or not, may be the cause of a sudden waking up of his in? tellectual powers. 0 ue of our exchanges contains a number of such questions and we publish them below. We hope some of our teachers will put them to the . membsrs of their advanced classes or to the whole .?.school, at such time as will best suit their arrangements. Throw them out if you can, however, when the boys least expect such a thing. One of the most distinguished teachers of our own State is accustomed to read lo the whole school, or to his class, a short par-, agrapb, from some paper or book just as he feels moved to do so, or finds some? thing worth reading,. Boys' minds need to be. shaken sometimes, and unexpected questions or a volley of sharp, striking facts sometimes do the work. GEOGRAPHY.?ELEMENTS, !3y Alex. E. Frye, of Cook County Normal School.

The "wild cat" still is usually quite a primitive affair, consisting of a copper still of small capacity, the necessary worms and one or two barrels or hogs? heads in which is kept the mash, The still is usually ownod and operated by one family, some mule member of which is always to bo found at the shed or cabin of brash and logs in which it is located. The corn from which the whiskey is made is secured from the surrounding farmers or raised by the owners, and the the liquor sold to anyone in the neigh? borhood who is willing to pay fifty cents a gallon for it and ket-p mum. By rea? son of this, enabling them to secure a fair quality of whiskey cheap, the moon shiner makes friends of all his neighbors and as a rule they are ever ready to warn him of impending danger ana at the approach of an officer or even a suspi? cious looking stranger all evidences of j the still are quickly removed. This fact makes it an exceeding difficult task to apprehend the violators of the law, and it is necessary to use the utmost caution and discretion in order to. apprehend them at all. The chief source of revenue derived by West Tennessee moonshiners comes from the whiskey they sell to storekeepers in small towns, in dealing with whom they adopt such precautions that while the utorekeeper may have an idea, he never knows precisely with whom he is trading. These moonshine stills are great resorts for the men who dwell in the vicinity of where they are located, and on Saturdays and Sundays and other idle days dozens congregate around them and pass the time drinking, smoking and telling sto? ries. While the West Tennessee moon? shiner is fully as shiftless as his brother in the Tennessee Mountains, about whom so much has been written, he is not near as bloodthirsty, probably because he has never been hunted so persistently, hav? ing been allowed, in a manner, to pursue his business unmolested by meddlesome officials. Hence, while many a revenue officer has dropped from his horse dead at the crack of the mountaineer moon? shiner's rifle, there is but one or two in? stances on record where officers have been killed in West Tennessee. Years ago when revenue officers hunt? ed the festive moonshiner in his lair, the method of entrapping them was to in? duce some one familiar with the country, generally a man who had a grudge against the moonshiners or some negro who would, for a consideration, agree to 5Hot the officers to the still. Then a eputy marshal went to the town near est the point he wished to reach, and summoning a posse started ont. In all of this it was necessary to preserve the utmost Becrecy, as the moonshiners in? variably have friends to warn them. Piloted by the guide the officers would approach until they could see the smoke of the still curling above the tree tops, and then charge down. Sometimes they were successful in capturing the men, bat generally these managed to escape. The officers always cut up the worm, chopped up the still, tore down the shanty ana ponred out the mash and whiskey that happened to be on hand. A raid on a moonshine distillery is al? ways interesting and exciting because fraught with so much danger, one never knowing when a rifle ball will tear its way through his body.?Memphis "Ava lancke.

BLECKLEY. BROWN & FRETWELL. Nov IS, 1885 18 WARD'S WOES. His Desperate Struggle and How it Ended. Just twenty-seren miles from the classlo olty of Athens, Ga., is located the thriving little town of Maxoy'B, tho reaidenco of Mr. Robert Ward, who has jtut been released from a most perilous pre? dicament, the particulars of which he has con? sented to glvo to the public. He writes as follows: Hi.zbt'6, oolkthoepe co., ga., July 9th, 1885. For twelroor fourteeu years I have- beerj a great sufferer from a terrible form of blood poison which ran into the seoondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced oating away my skull bcnes. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to let peo? ple see mo. 1 used large quantities of most noted blood remedies and applied to nearly all physi? cians near me, but my condition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones bocame the seat of excruciating aches and pains; my nights were passed in misery ; I was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were torribly deranged, and life became a burden to me. I chanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B., and sont ono dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when e%ht or ten bottles had beon used I was pronounced sovud and well. Hundreds of scars can now be soen on mo, look? ing like a man who had beon burned and then re? stored. My case was woll known in this county, and for the benefit of others who may be similarly afiected, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public, aud tu oxtend my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy. I have been well over twclre monthi, end no return of the disease has occurred' BOBEBT Waed.
