THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.!
A Fine Body of Women and Men—No '■
Entertainments at Night Not Pop
ular—List of Teachers Present.
The Stokoß County Teachers'
Institute is in session this week
conducted by Prof. Chas. L. Coon,
of Raleigh, who is being assisted
by County Superintendent of
Schools J. T. Smith and Prof.
Burkett, of the A. & M. College,
of Raleigh.
The attendance at the Institute
is not quite so large as usual. Some
of the teachers attended similar
schools in adjoining counties,
which makes them eligible as well
as being present here. Otheis
were kept away by different causes.
Superintendent Smith announces
that certificates to teach in tlio |
public schools of the county will,
not be granted to those who have
been kept away by other than
providential causes.
While Prof. Coon is an able in
structor, some of his methods are
not meeting with popular favor
here. He seems to neglegt the
social and recreative features al
most entirely, For Instance there
is no music at the opening of tl)o
sessions, which is considered by |
many people as a necossary adj u net
to the best* results in teaching, ■
as its inlluence is elevating and
refining and has a tendency to in
spire dull intellects. Neither are
there any recreations or amuse
ments for the touchers at night,
which lias formerly been a plei^s-1
ing feature of these gatherings..
The arguihuiit that the teachers j
should be spending their nights at.
study, is met by the assertion that
the human mind is not a machine,'
and needs refreshment and rest and
that some moderate form of enter-;
tainmtmt would better lit the
teachers for their work the follow-,
ing day and enable them to make
more progress than if the recess
hours had been spent over their
books.
Following is a complete list of

CHANGE IN LIVERY BUSINESS.
Messrs. James Hill and Geo. Chaffm
Form Partnership lnteresting
Meeting at Baptist Church. Ger
manton -New Sunday School Or
ganized at Corinth.
Germanton, Aug, 2;i.—Messrs.
James Hill and George Chaffin
have purchased the livery from Mr.
Snm Hill, and will continues to do
an up-to-date business at this
place.
Quite an interesting meeting
was in progress at the Baptist
church last week. There was quite
a large attendance at every service,
A good interest was manifested.
Several were united to the church
There seems to be a religious
awakening throughout the whole
country. Sunday Schools are be
ing organized, revivals are being
held. Generally speaking, it seems,
that this old world of ours is grow
ing better in spite of what the
pessimists tell us.
A Sunday School was organized
at Corinth church last Sunday.
There was a very good attendance
and an unusual interest was man
ifested. We think much good can
be accomplished in a Sunday
School. We can reach the child
ren and there is where the im
pressing is made. A famous relig
ous educator once said that if you
would give him a child until it was
eight years old, you might have it
for he would be satisfied you
would never turn it from the
teaching he had given it. Then let
us work in the Sunday School and j
try and do some good while there j
is hope of it doing some good.

Murphy discovered smoke near
the stable. Capt. ran with two

Never in the history of Walnut

The people have to watch while
walking on the side walks to keep
from slipping and falling on them.
Numbers of peach and apple tree
are breaking, almost resembling a
sleet.
