There is a duugerons poetical fallacy
about the Strew of the waters of the San
Marcos for bathing purposes. The fact is,
the water is too cold to make it safe for any

they should exercise the utmost caution.
Sickuess and death have been the result of
inconsiderate bathing in our riyer.

Prof. J. E. Pritchett requests us to ask
our people to visit the cemetery and see
what has been done in the way of cleaning
up the grounds. Also to coll and pay np
their subscriptions, so as to enable the com

provement. He informs ns that the colored people
have agreed to set a day and extend th work

That was a happy thought of one of onr
butchers, since adopted by the rest, to. fur
nish our people barbecued meats. It helps
the butchers also to sell all the meats, but
aside from that consideration, now that
they have started, they ouyht once in awhile
to give us some of the best going in the
same style. People should no longer be re
quired to wait for barbecues in order to en
joy barbecued meats. Tis, in fact, the on
ly way meats shonld be cooked, and the
noble red man" has tbns far enjoyed a
groat blessing over the pale-faced tribes.

Normal Notes,
For the Fuse Pbbhs:
This week has been one of much interest
History, Philosophy, Physiology, Algebra,
Geometry, English Literature, Geography
and primary work have all been well con-
sidcred and muob talked about. If the plan
of work in this school was formulated by
Professor Bryant, he is evidently the right
man In the right place, The school is not a
frozenyehearsal of half dead formalities,
but it enters at once into the subjects to be
taught and opens np to the teacher new,
practioal and pleasant fields.
Prof. Bryant's modest and nnassumlng
manner has won all. When one thinks of
the egotism we have had to endure in some
of our previous Summer Normals, we can
but fully Appreciate this.
Prof. A. A. Thomas nas been at bis post
well prepared with each subject under bis
management It makes one who ha only
a (mattering feel very blue to see him get
up and clear up every problem from begin
ning to end.
If the patience and care of Prof. William,
the fin controlling power of Miss Harrison,
the energy of Miss Cotton, the interrogat
ing ability of Miss Kendrick and the modes
ty and learning of Prof. Stanfield could all
be combined in one teacher be would never
have to buut positions.
The lectures of Prof. H. U. fn'.cbett on
Astronomy and method of teaching have
been ot special interest Let us abak
band with yon. Prof., in commendation of
tour method of examining pupil. Yours,
ii our humble judgment is the only way of
as -chaining, with any dogree of accuracy,
tha real attainments of th pupiL If w
wer asked to select a firet class fraud, we
waul 1 jovt take a set examination at the clot
of a term. Happy and successful is that
teac her who keep bis or ber results under
their ey each week.
Among tb interesting things of tb week
was Miss Cotton' essay on mixed school.
Mia C want mixed aeata, mixed play-
s-roaade. mixed everything. Mia C only
be tb ideal boy and girl in ber pur mind
and aot tb real, a they appear is niao
tentha of onr acboola. We mast beg to dif
fer from Mi C on this point and say if
they ar mixed at all ia onr common acboola,
it maat be done very carefallr aad very

Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va., writ that for year he wa af

much suffering. These were succeeded

Ayer' Sarsaparllla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbunclea disap
peared, and for Ix year be baa not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, ia
the fruitful cause of Innumerable com
plaints, Consumption being only one of

cations of a scrofulous taint In the
ystem. Many otherwise beautiful facea
are disfigured by pimples, eruption,
and unsightly blotche. which arise
from impure blood, showing the need ol
Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufforer from blood disorder
should give Ayer's Sarsaparllla a fair
trial, avoiding all powdera, ointment,
and washes, and especlallv cheap and
worthless compounds, which not on y
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aferavate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
