CHEROKEE GRADED SCHOOL

Twodays we're given to the closing exer>
cises Of this school examination on Thurs.
day and general exercises on Friday. The
examination was quite satisfactory, aud
witnessed by a number of the patrons.
The general exercises we're held in the
grove. A rustic stage had been prepared
for the occasion. A large and apprecia.
tive audience was in attendance. The
exercises consisted of compositions, dec.
lamations, vocal music, rehersals, &c.
The declarations and compositions we're
much better than we arc accustomed to
hear on such occasions. The declama-
nations especially elected the most fa>
yorable comment from the audience.
The day was pleasant. Good order
prevailed. Never saw better anywhere.
Such enjoyable occasions are seldom met
with. They are calculated to encourage
the pupils, strengthen the teachers, and
stir up the people on the subject of gen.
cral education. The closing exercises of
this school compares favorably with any
that We have witnessed. Upon the whole
the school has been quite successful. The
citizens of the district are highly pleased,

cate Of Common Schools, and has done
efficient service in the school interest, and
been instrumental in ~eleyatlng the stand
ard of teaching in the Common Schools
If every district in the county had such a
school, the effect would be magical upon
the cause Of education. Miss Lou. But
Ter, Prof. Fences present assistant, filed
her place admirably.
At the close of school exercises proper,
a. A. Taylor, Esq, was introduced. His
subject was Labor-its Trials and its Iris
umphs. The speaker handled the SUBJ
ject with decided ability. 1t was a splen.
did effort, and Mr.. Taylor ably defended
labor, its dignity and its nobility. Such
addresses will do immense good. Mr..
Taylor has the grateful thanks of our PEG.
pie for his effort in behalf of the laboring
classes, and especially of the teachers and
pupils of the school.
The pupils acquitted themselves hand
somely. The people deserve encourage
ment. Let the good work 60 on. Mr..
j. E..T. Harris, in at appropriate speech
set Forth the real merits of the school.
He announced that The next session
would open on the oath day of August
next.
Cherokee Graded School receives aid
from the Peabody Fund. The Primary
Department will be written up next week
perhaps. We have a favorable report
from it also.

PntronS Of HushandrY.

A: a call meeting Of the Washington
County Council of Patrons of Husbandry,
the following Preamble and resolution
was unanimously adopted, and the Sec
rotary was requested to furnish a copy to
the HERALD AND TRIBUNE, East Ten
nessce Echo, and the Grange OutlqoE,
with a request that they publish tho
same. 4.-
WuE,EAs, There seems to be an ef>
fort upon the part of some individuals to
construe the meeting called by the far
mer' one month ago as a Grange move,
and called for political purposes, and
whereas, suca charges are calculated to
cripple and throw a blight oycr this great
Agricultural move of the laboring classes,
thwart the good and defeat the effort now
on foot to release us of the Rail Road

ted Capital arrayed against labor, middle
men oud spectators, who are endea7or>
ing to make US hewers of wood and draw
ers water, to a rapid and rapacious aris>
tocracy, greatly our inferior, and whereas
such charges are calculated to do US iu-
jury and destroy that fratcrnal feeling
that exists among Brother Changers, aud
arouse again the old defunct party feeling
and engender party strife that has been
buried to a great extent by this our so>
cial order. and whereas, in the opinion of
this council, no good can possibly result
by a newspaper war, but will end in injury
to our organization and will indepreciate
the present state of affairs that exists be-
tween our brother Editor of the HERALD
AND TRIBUNE and other members of our
order, and while we would entreat them
for the sake Of our glorious cause to deSist
from this paper war.
Res0lUed That we are so endeared to the
principles of our organization, that We
are determined to stand by our colorS
live or die, sink or swim, survive or per-
ish, ignoring all party, having the utmost
confidence and reliance in cur organizes

JONEsBORO' SCHOOLS.

This year, the schools have had great.
er difficulties than usual with which TO
contend. But, under the circumstance s,
much has been accomplished more than
could have reasonably been expected. TIE
teachers have been fully competent for
the duties imposed. In the Female
Department. Miss Ann Patton has charge
of grade No. /. She is au experienced
teacher generally and favorably known
as such. She has taught with general salts,
faction in Asheyille Female College, and
Martha Washington College. AS a
teacher she bears a 6ne reputation. Miss
Mary b. Wilhoit has had charge of grade
No. 2 for several years. As evidence Of
her ability, she nas been retained in the
school for a number of years. Too much
can hardly be said in praise of her,
About one month ago her health failed
and she was compelled to withdraw from
the school. Her department has been
handled to the utmost satisfaction. Miss
Patton new has charge of both depart
ments.
LII the Male Department, Prof, R. II.
DUNCAN has charge of Grade No 1. He
is IN experienced teacher. Under his
P~rinCipalship, the school has prospered.
He was educated at Emory aud Henry
College, Virginia. He is fine discipline
arian, q successful teacher, and one of the
leading educators of the county. Miss
Dollie Wood is teacher in the Primary
Department. She has managed her room
right we'll. Her labors have been very
b%ardsnsome most Of the year.
Samuel +. Smith, taught the colored
school. lie is a good teacher and did as
we'll for the colored people as any one
that could have been found. The school
was closed at the end of FIVE months 70
want Of money to carry it oil longer.
The scholastic population of the 18th
school District (J~onesboro) is about 400
pupils 500 white and 100 colored. A
little above 60 per cent have been en-
rolled in the schools this year. So that
with all the facilities for education more
than $50 children of school age have been
either loa6uy on the street or running at
large. |. caa not be denied that the
street is educating at least one third Of the
children who ought to be in school. The
teachers are not responsible for this, fol-
they are faithful to a fault. Are the
parents really interested'in the education
Of The children?
The school buildings are admirably
arranged for comfort and convenience.
But without the hearty cooperation Of
the parents, it is impossible to make the
schools efficient and successful. The
school Board has rendered efficient SER
vice. Upon the whole it has discharged
its full duty. We are sorry to ttate that
the interest in the schools has from some
anse somewhat declined.

EONT CLOSE THEM.

We can see no necessity of closing
the Public Schools of the State. We
must stand by the school law. A step
backward now may prove r%uinous in the
extreme. There is no danger of mixed
school in The State. The people will
oppose the measure. Public opinion
will not sanction it. Let US have moder-
alton. Let us stand by the schools come
what may. Don't give up the ship yet.

A Case Of Rsistaken Identity.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, June 22.-The
arrest of W. d. Stancliff here on Sstur-
day night for the murder of John John
son in the city, one week ago, has prov
ed case of mistaken identity, and a
gross outrage upon Mr.. Stancliff. The
whole charge against him was that some
one had taken to a washerwOman, last
Monday, a bloody coat and shirt to
wash. From the woman's description
of tee man, the police took Staneliff to
be him, and the woman identified him
as the person. He was arrested without
8 warrant and consigned without hear
ing. Sunday morning a Mr.. Eldridge,
reading the account of Staneliff's arrest
and the evidence upon which he was
arrested, informed the police that the
bloody clothes were his, and that he was
the man who took them to the woman.
He further brought q dentist to prove
that the blood on the clothes was from
drawn teeth. The dentist had drawn
for him On Monday four teeth, and the
operation being followed by a profuse
bleeding; thereupon the city mSgis-
trste discharged both parties. There is
much indignation over the reckless ar
rest OF Stancliff
