OUR VILLAGE ACADEMIES,

Born Male and Female, were opened on Monday
las,-the Male Academy under the charge OF Mr..
LEIrSER, the Female, under the supervision and
guidance of their former Rectors. We have only
one remark 10 make, in regard 10 the merits ot these
schools at this li,nc. 1t is that each one of them Is
equal to any similar Institution in South Carolina.
Our advice to all of our fellowctzens, who desire
to give their children superior advantages and at the
same time TO foster educational enterprise at home Is
to send their boys and girls to one or the either oi
these Institutions Immediately. If they prefer other
schools in this or the adjoining Districts we have not
word of objection to urge. If they have no such
preference, however, We earnestly appeal to them TO
lend u, their help, and we will soon show them thai
they have done wise thing. This We say, because,
while we aro very willing to believe that other ncisli-
boring schools are all they profess to be- Oe k"o~ that
ours arc excellent ones, ably supplied with instFuc-
tors and we'll provided in every respect. The oppor.
lunity being now fairly and fully offered TO the peo-
pie of Edgefcld of carrying into permanent existence
District Schools of the highest grade, 1t remains 10
be seen whether they will embrace it. We believe
they will. Many are already doing so--olhers are
making preparations to follow their example, and we
have faith enough in the intelligence, sagacity anu
pride of our people, to believe that many more oil
them will come and do likewise.

DIED, in Lexington District, on the morning Of
the 2lst of December last, ut his fathers residence,
near Lecsvlle, AnNEn WILLIAMS, aged % years I
months and days.
If the memory of the justebe blessed, it is not
proper that such man us Mr.sWILIIGMs should be
consigned to the tomb, without some tribute to his
worth. Though not distinguished BY conspicuous
station extraordinary talents he was possessed OF
those solid virtues which dignity and ndorn the man,
and make the citizen an element OF real strength to
communities and States.
By this sad event. two parents, ono child, and two
sisters, are deprived of the ,;hope and comfort OF
their earthly existence; and7a numerous circle of
relatives and friends ar. left TO mourn the death Of
one who had cndearcd hingclfto then, by his az
fectonate disposition, and the meekness and gentle.
ness Of bis manners fOr all who knew him, loved
him.
Although it is hcart-rending to be chilled upon to
endure the utter annhlation of the hopes and cx-
pccritions, which cluster around the life Of such
one as the departed to be compelled to witness rosy
health blasted by disease, and the beautiful form
full Of life and activity siicncd by dcath, and left
to moulder in lirc cold aud silent grave yet we do
not mourn as those without hope; having every
reason to believe that our loss has been lis eternal
gain. Ills sickness, which was Of lingering char
actrr, and was of ninety days duration, he bore
with christian patience and resignation. Nut a
murmur escaped his lips, and when the last moment
came, calmly, and without a,.strugslc, Ills spirit
went TO Him who gave it. ;.
For six or eight years previous TO his dcath he
had been Il member Of the Baptist church. His
picty was ardent, consistent: and profound the pal
rent of sincere conviction Of full persuasion Of the
truth The writer of these lines saw him soon af-
ter his conversion and remember with interest," the
fcrvor Of bis love, and the honesty Of his zeal. lie
literally gorcd in the cross ofJc Jcsus Christ Before
he hccanc Il christian, he was an exemplary and
upright youth. After TINT event, he tccanc n
holy and dcvout He deserves TO be called, in
tic apostolic sense, a saint of the Lord.
He had been married, but ut the time OF his death
was widowcr, his wife hayiHg died about two
years bcfure. He leaves one child, (Which was
near and dear to him) to nlosrn his loss but he
committed it To God. who is th' father OF lc father
less, and will not suffer his ltt1f ones to furnish.
SBlrsscd are the dead With die in the ord
yea saith the Spirit, mt they Sst from their abots
and their works do follow thciIEn
ooh mourn for those who weep,
Whom stern Affections bend.
With anguish over the loMiy sleep
or lover or Of friend.
But they to whom the sway
or pain and grief is Ger
Whose Tears our God has wiped away,
Oh mourn for them no more"
