Several weeks ago a gentleman living not |

piece of metal to town and gave it to us. 1t |
had every appearance of silver, and we
sent it to Nashville to be submitted to an
aSsayest. We received and answer few
days ago, and were assured that the speci-
men was undoubtedly silver. We under
stand that there is an abundance of this
ore lying on the surface of the ground |

his speech at the Fair Ground, last Friday,
tons. In speaking of the ruinOus effects of
planting the same crop year after year, he

would be forced out before the corn was as
high as mans head.-WUyae Citizen.

vertiSement of GulleOka Institute, which
begins its new session on the 9Th of Au-
gust. About six years ago Prof. W. r.
Webb left ms hOmein North Carolina and
took charge of the CulleOka Institute. A
few years thereafter his brother, Prof. John
NJ. Webb joined him. They have had many
obstacles to contend with, and have not |
made much, If any, money, but they have
worked with great industry, and patience,
and skill, and have established n character
for their school that is far more valuable
than money. What Bingham S school is to
North Carolina Webbs school is to Tennes-
see. Educators everywhere speak well of il,
and many OF its pupils are sons of eminent
teachers, preachers, scholars and juliSts.
This fact alone is positive assurance of its
real excellence. No one can attend their
examinations without coming away strong
ly convinced of the thoroughneSs of the
young man who had been pupil in Gull
leOIa Institute; he paid a glowing tribute to |
the MessrS. Webb, as men OF thorough |
scholarship and as rigid disciplinarianS,
but kind and lOVable in disposition. He |
spoke in high terms OF their character as
Christ ian men, and OF the great influence |
Tor good which they exert for Christianity.
We recommend ii as a good school in every
respect, and CulIcoka rs an exc, IIent place
for children to be educated at. 1t is a
healthy place; board can be had much
cheaper than in larger towns, and the NOR
al tone of society is good.

In another column, Rev. Geo. Beckett,
Rector, announces that the Columbia Fe- |
male Institute will begin its next session on
the 9th of September. This noble old in |
StitutiOn OF learning was founded many
and refined women, occupying front posi-
tons in society, take pride in saying that
they were educated at the Columbia Insti-
tute. The grand old castle-like building
strikes the eye of all strangers, and is Joy
continually, because a thing of beauty to all
of us who see it every day. The Rector sim
ply gives the names of the Faculty, and |
that alone speaks more elOquently in its |
behalf than many words of self-laudation. |
First come the names of Bishop Quintard
Rev. Geo. Beckett. The Principal, Mrs. |
Mary y. Martin, is daughter of Chief JUS
tice Nicholson, and possesses that great |
iuTiSt'S intellectual powers in an eminent
degree. Miss Emma BriStOw is a cousin to
B. IL. BriStOw, Secretary of the T.. :. TreaSu-
~, one of the leaders of his party. Miss
Norwood belongs to n family i'll North Car
DINA and Georgia greatly distinguished for
mem beTs of the Faculty are thorough Schol-
airs and efficient teachers. 1t is good sign
TO see the best talent selecting the noble
vocation of teaching.
