The Insleside Academy.

1t was our pleasure to be at the
examinations OF the pupils of the Ingle-
side Academy--Mrs. S. B. Mack s school
in this place, last Friday afternoon; and
all the exercises reflected high credit on
both the scholars and teachers, and
consequently afforded real pleasure to
the patrons and friends of the school
that were present. The pupils were
examined without any special prepa-
ration for the occasion, on the studies of
the past month, and between these ex-
ercises were I'M erspersed songs and adj
dresses by the scholars. All the parts
were selected and arranged with most
admirable TASTE The scholars in that
school are taught many things beside
their lessons out of their books that will
be of the greatest value to them through
life. Everything was characterized by
the manifest marks of the exactness and
thOroughness required in Mrs. Mack's
school. We were SO thoroughly pleased
with all we saw and heard that we will
not:make special notice of any ofthe exer
cises, except to say that the class of
young ladies in Virgil stood an exami-
nation that would have reflected high
credit on any class of young men in any
college. Evidently Mrs. Mack does not
make mere pretense'Of teaching Latin,
which is about all that is done, for anci-
ent languages, in most female schools.
She teaches the languages honestly and
thoroughly, and consequently, in way
to be of real practical benefit to her pu-
pills. 1t is hardly necessary for us to
reiterate what this whole community
has known for so long a time. that Mrs.
Mack is a superior teacher, and her
school very superior school. Z.

sly: have been partially acquaint-
ed with Columbia for twenty-five or
thirty years, and had looked on the peo-
ple as being aristocratic, until about six
or eight weeks ago took my wife up to
DIR. Cracking, and find it right to the re-
verse. A kinder, more benevolent
people never have found, They visited
my wife every day; almos: always had
something TO nourish her. May the
good Lord bless the good people of CO.
lumbia.
would say to the numerous readers
of your paper, especially to those affiict-
ed, that DIR. Bracking, who is now
located at Columbia, is one of the finest
physicians 1 eyer saw. My wife had
been afflicted for thirty-seven years.
had tried all the physicians from Louis
Vile, KY, to South Alabama. She got
no better, but grew gradually worse. j
took her in my arms and carried her out
to a spring wagon, laid her on bed in
the wagon, and Eauled her up to DR..
Tracking, She is now able to walk
about the house, and attend to most
of her household duties. This has all
been done for her in six weeks through
the skill OF DR.. Cracking. So l can cor
daily recommend him to all afflicted
persons, especially chronic diseases OF
female, or cancers. l saw him perform
an operation on sister Foster, of Mt.
Pleasant, in taking out cancer. He,
I am satisfied, made final cure OF 1t.
Nav the Lord prolong his days here on
earth, that he may do goodto the al
fIicted, w. T. WARREN.

SPRING HILL ITEMS.

This little town boasts now of five first
class dry-goods stores, four groceries,
three blacksmith shops, one wagon
making shop, one broom factory, one
drug store, one furniture establishment,
one carpenter shop, three churches,
two fine academies, male and female,
a large and rapidly increasing lodge of
Free Masons, four resident physicians,
and not one lawyer. Altogether it is
an interesting and busy little town, sur
rounded by an Intelligent and wealthy
community. The great want of this
section is more labor. The intelligent
and industrious emigrant will find here,
rich lands, high wages, and hearty
welcome.
Grape and bees are receiving consid-
cradle attention in this neighborhood.
Capt. Redman and Tom McLep ore are
the pioneers in the grape culture. Both
of these gentlemen are going into the
business largely. Capt. Redman has
several acres in grapes that will be in
Major Campbell Brown also have vine
yard each, more than sufficient to sup
ply their family consumption. Capt.
Redman, Tom McLemore, VIM. Orman
and John DAVIS, are the four great bee
men OF this section. They are going
into the business largely. Tom Melee
more has procured the latest and most
improved honey extractor. By means
of his extractor" he can quadruple the
product of these busy little manufac-
turers.
Wheat, barley and the grapes, all
look fine, and now promise an abund-
ant crops. The prospect for good fruit
crop was never better. About the
usual crop of cotton and corn will
be planted.
ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
A difficulty occurred last week be-
tween two of our high spirited and chiv-
alous citizens. Pistols were drawn, but
no powder was burned. 1t was fortu-
nate that it was SO, for seldom two cooler
or drawer men ever met in "deadly
ARRAY"
The shrill whistle of Rogers d McLe-
more's steam saw mill is heard three
times day echoing jOyously through
the smiling valleys. These thorough
going gentlemen are saving large guam
titles of choice lumber, and for prompt
ness and despatch in filling orders, are
seldom equaied. In fair and honorable
dealings they are unsurpassed.
The new drug store now owned by r.
w. MeLemore, jr., is now fitted up i'm
real city style. Mr.. McLemore received
only sound and pure drugs in his pur-
chase from DIR. Witt. The drugs were
carefully assorted and selected by Mr..
Pendleton, of Nashville, OF the firm of
Ewing, Pendleton d Co. Mr.. McLe-
more has since added largely to the
stock. The prescription department is
presided over by Henry Grigsby, COM
petent and reliable druggist.
PERSONAL.
DIR. J. V. Childers left last week to
make his home in the Lone Star State.
May success, commensurate with his
merits, attend him wherever he may
locate.
IMPROVEMENTS,
w. E. Greenlaw is now building one
of the largest and finest barns in the
State. Will Cheairs expects to build a
handsome residence this summer; also

Meeting of the school Commissioners

The Board of School Commissioners of
this county met here last Saturday, and
a quorum was present. DIR. 7. B. Rains
presided as Chairman. The regulations,
heretofore published in the HERALD,
were adopted as a whole, after being
read by Secretary McCaw. The ques-
ton as to whether there should be a
Superintendent for the county was then
taken up, and after some discussion,
voted upon. The vote decided that there
should be q Superintendent, and that
he should receive fifty dollars per
month for his services, the regulations
requiring that he shall devote four
days out of each week to the inter-
ests of school matters. Mr.. Hugh Il.
Gordon was then nominated and
elected. Heis a young gentleman of
undoubted intellectual attachments,
defatigable energy. He is prominently
the man for the place. DR.. c. ID. Ell
lott, the veteran old school teacher of
Nashville, then ad dressed the meeting
in the interests of the University Series
of school books, in regard to which We
may have more to say at some future
time. These. are the only books in the
country that have q national, unsec-
tional. caste. and are the only books
written by southern authors The Doc
tor made speech of some length which
was listened to with manifest interest.
He WIS followed by the Hon. James h.
Thomas, who, though called upon un-
expectedly, made magnificent speech
on the subject of education. He insisted
that to give the negro knowledge of let-
ters without also intoxicating moral
truth, was like placing sword in the
hands of a mailman. He therefore
urged that the greatest care be taken to
select teachers of good moral character,
as well as intelligence.
