Quite q number of the schools in the
county have already closed. Cherokee

have all enjoyed a prosperous year. We
hear the closing exercises of each of these
schools highly spoken of. This must be
gratifying to the Principals whom we
know to be gentlemen gifted in the art of
teaching 1.-THE young idea how to shoot"
We heartily wish both teachers and pu-
pills a pleasant vacation. At present we
can not see how the schools are to be
maintained an other year, but if We do
u part some way. we hope, win beprovil-
ed. Some of these schools will be continu-
ed, others may be abandoned for want of
means. Thepeople of Washington County
have an interest in every school.
We are glad to know that the Flag
Pond District has organized a large and
interesting school. They do not mean to
behind in educational progress. We
should be pleased to hear of other districts
doing the same.

The Glorious Old Fourth

cred anniversaries are being forgotten in

rhich we celebrate our recent triumphs
and the magnificent devotion we tender to
the memory of the fallen heroes of latter
days.

erred atmosphere her citizens can breathe
the sweet poetry of the age illustrious for
it, pathetic rememberances of martial

Bumpas Cove, in this county. is about
twelve miles Southeast of this place.
This mountain fastness was widely known
during the war, as a rendezvous of hiding
Unionists, and it is destined to keep Its
traditional name, as the scene of an anus
ing conflict, on last Sabbath a week ago, in
which W females with vigorous blows,
discussed the question of their mutual
rights.
1t seems that IN old married gentle
man of the cove had become enamored Of
a blushing maiden in the same locality
He presented her with a pair of $3.50
gaiter shoes. This present making came
to the knowledge of the faithless husbands
spouse and for a week there was "a high
old time of quarreling and fighting in
that distracted household. Finally, a
sort of a paci6cation war patched up. bit
the old woman, sorely aggravated by this
invasion of her rights, swore vengeance
against the cause of her distractions. Soon
the coveted opportune time came. A
methodist minister appointeG the Sabbath
referred to, for the organization OF a Sab
bath School in Bumpas. The whole
neighborhood assembled and in the audi
ence were the Injured spouse, the truant
husband and the dashing maiden who had
charmed his affections. The minister a
rose and with solemn mien and voice told
the object of his visit and read the opening
hymn. The singing of the first line was
the signal for the onset, and the warmly
nursed wrath of the wife broke forth in
loud and vehement demands for the shoes.
The maiden s'could'nt see" that, and re-
fused to fork over" The old woman
then vent to business, and a scene ensued
which beggars all description, hair-pull-
ing, crinoline smashing, rolling and tumb-
ling among the rickety benches. children
crying, boys shouting, men cursing, babies
squalling even the dogs taking a hand in
the fight, the old woman coming out first
best, brandishing the shoes in triumph,
ETC., etc. Dismission without the usual
benediction. But what became of the
preacher? At the most interesting point
of the fight. he mounted his horse and fed
for dear life to the river settlement, and
swears from a religious standpoint it is
his last expedition into that cove.

PUBLIC EXAMINATIONS.

There is, in our mind, some doubt
about the ~expediency of these examina-
tons. The effort to popularize education
in this way is not productive of very much
good. A fair and honest examination is
a test of scholarship, but it is seldom that
we have such. The object is, or generally
appears to be, to entertain the audience.
The proficiency of the pupils is not, as a
general thing, ascertained at our public
examinations. Rigid examinations before
a competent committee are to be encour-
aged, but outside show is demoralizing
and ought not to be practiced in our
schools.
Some advocate public examinations as a
means of securing the cooperation of the
parents of the children. How for this will
succeed in influencing the parents to visit
the school, can be ascertained by a little
observation. Many teachers have aban-
doned these public examinations because
they do not secure any increased interest
in the school. The manner in which they
are conducted renders them very objection
able. 1t is of but little advantage to the
school for the parents to visit it at exami-
nation. They can not see its true work
ings. They can not tell what a school is
from hearing a few classes examined.

Knoxville Tobacco Mfg. Co.

The manufacture of Tobacco is a new
enterprise in East Tennessee, but is one
that will prove highly remunerative, we
nave no doubt. Messrs. Doll, Scott and
Leftwitch have the courage to attempt it
on a large scale and are manufacturing
three brands: "Queen of the East"
Temptation" and Three Kings" in
ferior to no articles in the market. It is
our duty and interest to foster and patron
ize all local industries. Foreign patron
age depletes the circulating medium and
drives away capital. energy and business
skill that we stand so much in need of at
present. To all of our merchants we
heartily commend the Knoxville Tobacco
Manufacturing Company, as gentlemen of
strict integrity and fine business qualifi-
cations, who will contribute to the pros
perity of the country in proportion to the
favor they receive from its people. Read
their advertisement IN to-day's paper. and
