■-A .v, - EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. J. M. PIERCE, EDITOR. . — 4 IXTRODVOTORY. Fellow Teachebs : It is with con•iderable reluctance that we assume the management of this Educational Column. We feel that we shall be ■ustained by many and trust the arrangement will be agreeable to all. git is mete that the teachers as a body of professional workers, working upon an educational plane, having a community ol interests, should have an organ of weekly inter-commuuiea-tion, from which eash one could glean much that would be of material aid in his work. Such an organ is presented them, thanks to the editor of The Democrat, who has kindly tendered the columns of his paper for the teachers’ use. Let them use it. They are credited by the people with having the talent aid energy of expressing themselves. Let them bo worthy of ths opinion and show that it is not mistaken. While the column will be used main ]y by the teachers ws expect our worthy County Superintendent to contribute frequently, either in the line of practical school work, or of official nature. Teachers, send in your cemmunioations at once, and we will arrange them for publication. Spread the Good IScws. As a family medicine and tonic, there is no remedy at present giving such universal satisfaction, and effecting so many astonishing cures, as Ecleetric Bitters. Our druggists report a lively demand for them, at times being unable to supply the maqy calls. All Billions Attacks, Stomach, Liver and Kidney Complaints, Diabetes and Gravel, readily yield to their curative qualities.— Sold by B. W. Sholty, Decatur, Ind. 8 Among a number of worthless Italians landed at Castle Garden recently was a man whesa features, particularly his mouth and eyes, are similar to those of a monkey. In as nearly an upright position as he can put himself in he is not above four feet high ; his baek and right shoulder, legs and feet, are badly deformed, and there is a large malformation on his neck. He is unable to walk without the aid of a »taff. ‘See here,' said a fault finding husband to his wife, ‘we must have things arranged in this house so we shall know just where things are kept. ‘With all my heart,’ she sweetly answered, ‘and let us begin with your late hours, my love, I should dearly like to know where they are kept. He lets things run on as usual. Dawson habitually whipped his wife at Paducah, Ky. Wyatt, his neighbor said to him: ‘lf you don't stop tho practice I'll kill you.’ The next time Mrs. Dawson screamed Wyatt went in and kept his promise by shooting her husband through the body, though the wound did not prove fatal until a week later. * The man who invented the g»s mater never thought he had found perpetual motion. But he did, though. Just you leave home for a couple of mouths, and you will find that meanwhile it goes right on, just like the salary of clergyman who has gone to Europe for his health.— Lowell, Mass.. Citizen. A eitizen of Macon, Miss., has entirely abandoned tobacco after seventy years continuous use of it. If the gentleman has used it for seventy years I presuming that he began at the age of fifteen, tobacco must be an uncommonly healthy plant. A wet season is predicted in Memphis, Tenn. The local journals confidently assert, that within five years all who have left this city on account of their misfortunes will be found in their old places shedding tears of joy upon the shoulders of their friends. A leading oculist is quoted by a correspondent of a Boston Journal as saying that he has more patients from the law school at Cambridge, than from i any other source, so bad is the ventila '• tioa and the gas heated air in the evening. A dispatch from Buffalo says that Louis Ehrensbe.rger, a street-car conductor there, has fallen heir to an estate in Germany, valued at one hund red thousand dollars. Gray hair may be made tc take on its youthful color and beauty by the use of Hall s Vegetable Sieillian Hair Renewer, the best preparation for the hair known to the science of medicine - and chemistry. The blood cannot properly perforin its functions when loaded with impurities, because it is thick and sluggish; and every person needs at times seme- ; thing to cleanse and quicken tie vital current. Dr. J. C. Ayer’s Compound „ Extract of Sarsaparilla meets this want I perfectly, and his discovery of this , compound ranks as important in pre- 1 ■erving the blood in a healthy condition as does that of Win. Harvey in demon-. strating its circulatory action. Nothing else so vitalizes, purifies and enriches the blood as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It is a perfect blood and nerve food. It never disturbs the stomach, but sureiy sssist- and promotes the dipes- ,

tion and assimilation of all nutriments, and increase their power to sustain and nourish the body. In renovating the •blood it clearsand quickens the intellect, and thusgives to both mind tnd body the power of long sustained, arduous and successful effort. Corning. A. J., Journal. no. 39 Im. It’s the Gentile thing in Mormondom to have only one wife.—N. 1. Com. Advertiser. Delicate Women. Cases of female weakness, delieate and enfeebled eonatitntions, and those suffering with Stonisehe, Liver an I Kidney complaint, will find Electric Bitters a speedy and certain cure. The sick and prostrated should rejoice that such a reliable remedy is placed within reach. Health and happiness will surely follow where Electric Bitters are used.— Fur Sale by B. W.

Mosxox, Ga., March 23, 1890. We have for twelve months been prescribing (“Swift’s Syphilitic Specific ) in the treatment of Syphilis and many other diseases for which it is recommended, and the results have been most satisfactory, not having been disappointed in a single instance. We think, for all diseasesit is recommended to cure it stands without a peer, and that all the medical provession will, sooner or l iter, be forced to nckowleilge it in the treatment of Syphilis, as a sine yau non.
