cesS-An interesting occasion.
PowELL's STATION, July Z, 1875.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
Yesterday was the first day of the
closing exercises of our graded school.
During the day the primary depart
ment passed through critical eXami-
nation, and meu VINO have heard SINH
lar exercises AT other places in the
county say the students acquitted
themselves uobiy. Last night was the
time appointed Tor the primary depart
ment To give au exhibition, aud before
the hour for commencing the exercises
arrived the spacious academy was lit
orally crammed with spectators. We
noticed visitors from every pant Of the
county. Among the educators from II
distance we noticed Rev. Mr.. Morton,
Superintendent City schools, Knox
viliei J. NJ. Hoss, Jonesboro'; ). Epps
Young, Clinton Mr.. Leeper, 10Th
district; Col. :. b. Crawford, l.. Il.
University; Prof +. G.. Beamau,
Thorn Grove: VIM. Ragsdale, Miss
kirkpatrick and Miss NJ. r.. jackson,
Knoxville.
AT 5 O'Clock the exercises Of the
evening began with prayer, by Rev.
Mr.. Morton, followed 10y song from
the choir. Vacation is coming Miss
NJ. +. Jackson, of your city,
presiding at the organ. The ex-
quisite music she rendered and
Ter aflable manner ELECTED universal
admiration.
Next in order came the declama,
tons, Rotations, and Dialogues, TWEEN
| ty-five IN number. 1t is impossible
! for me TO particularise, rs is the case
on all such occasions. Some o. the
pieces showed a lack of thorough train
| ing, but | heard but one comment to
! the effect that all did exceedingly we'll
considering their age and the fact that
| the teachers have been so over crowd
ed in their work, that they had 10 time
to devote to training the pupils for the
exhibition. At the close of the regular
programme, Rev. Mr.. Morton made
few educational remarks, giving un-
mistakable evidence that he was 9
thorough interested and capable schOo
man.
l will mention that the closing ex
ercises of our school, so far, have giveI
genera! satisfaction. In fact, the mos
sanguine hardly hoped that they
| would be complimentary to the teach
ers, considering the fact that the schoo
has, during the entire ten months
labored under many disadvan
tages. During the first sil
or eight months Of thu
school, the house was crowded beyond
its capacity and some were turned of
unable to. get accommodations. Tn
text books were unavoidably mixed
aud multiplicity of classes was tn
result. In all the press of this doubl
work the professors were unable t
keep the best of order, but now on eX
animation day we find they have no
been remiss in their duty to instruct
The same gentlemen, Professors w. II
Perkins and 5. NJ. Cooper, have beef
elected to conduct the school the mex
ten months, commencing the 10th c
August. The examination of tn
higher department continues to-day
with an exhibition tonight.

Satisfactory Examination - Interest
ing Exhibition.
POwELL's STATION, July s, y

PowELL's STATION, July s, IA.
TO the Editors Of the Chronicle:
Early yesterday morning the citi-
Zens began to gather in to witness the
closing exercises of our school. They
continued to come from various parts
of the county through the eutire day.
Flat Creek, Cedar Bluff, Oak Grove,
Valley Grove, and in fact almost every
part of the county was represented.
The examination exercises COM
menced at o'clock, the first a class in
grammar. / have only time to say,
it past the most satisfactory examine
ton I ever heard. The same | am
very proud to assert of a class in En-
glish composition which followed.
Special mention deserves to be made
of the examination in Geography.
An extended list of questions were put
and answered promptly. The out
lines of map OF North America
drawn on the board and each student
required to locate States, rivers, ETC.,
on the blank space which each one
did with accuracy.
A number of maps drawn by the
students were presented to the audi
ence for inspection. Two of these, a
j. Callahan, and a map of North
America, by J. B. Callahan, were the
most excellent specimens of the like
workmanship / ever saw and were
universally praised. Prof. Perkins
system of map drawing has resulted
in much benefit to the school.
1t was universal remark that the
entire examination was exceedingly
satisfactory.
Among the friends of education from
abroad to-day not mentioned before
we noticed Rev Mr.. Goddard, of Messy
Creek John NJ. Harris and wife, of
Knoxville: l.. u. johnson, 2lst dist;
Miss Matte Crawford, and 7. j. Nor
man, Knoxville.
EXHIBITION AT NIGHT.
BY 6 p. NJ. every seat was filled.
Against the standing room was taken
up, and soon the window stills Were hid
away, while there yet remained num-
bers outside unable to get accommoda-
tiOns in the Hall-which is 30X50 feet.
After prayer by Mr.. Leeper, of Thorn
Grove, the regular programme was
taken up.
Twenty-Five young gentlemen and
ladies delivered declamations, essays
and orations, and it will be impossible
to mention them individually. Let it
be sufficient to say that all who partic-
ipated surprised not only themselves
but all who heard them. If more
training had been bestowed in the
matter of gesturing the display would
have been still more satisfactory.
Misses NJ. f. jackson, Mary Kirk
patrick and Matte Crawford and
Messrs. S. b. Crawford and S. Epps
Young were present during the two
days and nights, and greatly aided in
the matter of vocalmusic. The school
directors, on behalf of the school and
people, return thanks TO those just
mentioned for favors rendered.
desire to return thanks to Messrs.
Childress and Christman ,breakmen on

Unnnished Railroads.

At the meeting of the joint commit
tee of the Common Council and citi-
zens on the subject Of unfinished rail-
roads, held yesterday evening, the
following resolution was passed unan-
imously;
Resolued, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the city of Knoxville
should take $3.50, 900 in stock in the
Blue Ridge Railroad, provided that a
reliable subscription be obtained from
other parties sufficient, with the
Knoxville subscriptions, to complete
said road to Walhalla, in the State of
South Carolina; and that we recon-
mend to the City Council that they
take the necessary steps to submit this
question to the voters of this city.

California, which is always early with
the wheat harvest, is already gathering it
in the southern counties. A general re
view of the yield of wheat in that State
shows that whilst this years crop will be
below that of last year, it is not a fail
ure excepting in few special districts.
1t is rather TO be classed among good har-
vests, there being no rust and no smut,
and the grain being reported from all
quarters Of good quality.

@ TuE OLDEST ISuABrrAxr."-
A Roane Co. correspondent of tho Req,
ister, says: This gentleman, George
Scott by name, rcsiGes near Walton on
tho waters of the Pocataligo. He is
Of English pareutage, and was born in
Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, in ITO,
being now in his nincty.fth year.
Ills father came to that place from Lon
don sometime previous to the Revolu.
tlonary war. and served during that
war on tho American side, believe,
though | am not positive. In order
for the mind to form just comprehen-
sion OF the ago Of our subject 1t will DO
necessary to associate his early life
with contemporary events. When Nlr.
Scott was born, our couatry was in the
midst Of its struggles for Independence.
Britain was under the ministry Of Lord
North, and France was ruled BY the
Bourbons. He was two years older
than Martin Van Buren,, ten wears
older than General Taylor. twcuty.nine
older than Lincoln, and thirty-onc
older than Horace Greedy lie was
nine years old when tho reign of ter.
ror commenced, thirty FIVE when Ma.
poleon's career terminated at Waterloo,
and slxty-six at the beginning Of the
Mexican war. About tho year 1904,
young Scott went to Virginia, and has
resided in the Yirginias ever since. |
Throughout tho war of 1872, he ser sed
1's country nObly, holding the posi-.
ion of Sergeant. lie was, the great.
n part Of the time, with General jack.
ion, who is the old mans ideal Of
military hero, although 10 did not par.
iclpate in tho memorable battle of
Orleans" of January Sth 1915, being
t that time in command of detach.
nent OF troops stationed at tho light
ousc on the sea shore, below Nor
ok, Virginia. He polled his first
ote for President, for Thomas Jeffor-
on, in 1904, and has voted at nearly I
very election since, generally voting !
DO Democratic ticket. When Mr..
colt left Philadelphia. it was a small
lace. indeed, compared with the pres. !
ut gigantic city, (estimated at rs, 900
opalation.) Roane county should
md him to his native city, next sum-
Ter, as our centennial represcnt alive.
