Fountain the Mary Sharp College.
One hundred teachers can teach 5000
children annually, and of these 1900, II
only 20 per cent. become teachers, this will
give the country 1850 teachers, and these
In turn will continue to educate the
Southern youth in their original method,
al iyd@itum. There Is no such thing as
calculating the good influences cXerted for
all future time by one such school as our
Mary Sharp has proven to be by its fruits .
One of It's graduates is now teaching, IN
this place, SO pupils. Another, Il name
| sake of the principle founder Of the Col
lcge, whose name it bears has cast her
frail bark on the vast prairies Of the great
ard growing Lone Star State, there to
make such an impress on the youthful
mini that nothing can cillce.
This College now has the ablcst corps OF
teachers it has had since the war, and as

tions for several years, Except PIol.

gcnClcmanly department. ltoan truthful
" be said of Prof. G.. l.. Smith THAT he is
the best Professor Of Music the College has
ever had. The other teachers have been
with us too long, and their fitness for the
various positions they fill are too well
known, to require special communication.
As Il tree is known by its fruits. so have
they bee. judged by the patrons OF the
Mary Sharp College, and that judgment is
shown to be as favorable as their most ar
dent friends could wish in the increasing
patronage Of the school,
The hcalthtulncss Of our mountain town
is one Of its chief attractions to those who
reside in malariouS districts. Girls have
been brought here looking like they never
had seen q well day, afflicted with chills
and fever, or other diseases incident to II
more Southern climate, and in few weeks
the rose OF health bloOmcd on their pallid
checks, ard they looked and moved an els
tircly different being. We are entirely
exempt from all kinds Of fever or aguc, or
cholera or yellow fever, and these are ad-
vantagcs very rare in the South.
Another advantage is, in the economy
which is observed under the rules of the
school in dress. Girls are not permitted
to dress eXtravagantly, but are required to
wear Il uniform dress which Ii tasty. looks
well, and still does not cost 50 much as the
dressing at other colleges.
Young ladies are kept under the eye of
their teachers or clearinghouse proprie-
tors, and no opportunity offers for private
courtships. This is all important to pa
rents who send their daughters from home
to school.
With all these advantages in favor of
the Mary Sharp College, why should we
not expect Il fun school next session!

Editor Home journal:
As you failed to publish the Decherd
news last week, | send you a few items for
this weeks paper.
Business has been perfectly alive in our
little town for the last two or three weeks.
The rattle of wagons have been heard
from morning until night. Farmers have
been busy hauling in their wheat, and
hundreds and thousands of bushels have
been sold and shipped. Business with
the merchants has been quite lively. They
can be seen stepping around with Il brisk
and active step, ,and whistling something
merry. The Grange Store has created
some little excitement here in the mercan-
tile line, and dry goods and groceries have
been going of like hot cakes,
Considerable sickness prevails through
the country, and physicians can be seen
riding about more than usual.
The grim monster" death, has not
passed us by. An infant daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. p. Carroll, of this place, died
last night. Benjamin Bratton, Il worthy
and highly-respectcd young man. and son
of j. NJ. B%ratton, died on last Tuesday was
Il week ago, Of consumption. lie had just
about reached the age in which to enter
upon the duties Of lie, when his Master
called for him. lie had madca profession
of religion some time previous to his
death, .
The corn crop in this vicinity and
ncighborhood looks quite promising, ana
some two or three hundred acres have
bee, planted and cultivated in corn ia
this n~cighborhood which has heretofore
been growing up in briars and sedSc-
grass.
Carol Nevis, col, became very much
enraged the other day at Il steer belonging
to Mr.. Payton Darwin, and cut him down
with an axe. The steer had got inside his
lot. where he done the barbarolts deed.
Darwin had the gentleman arrested, but
he made his escape, and has not since been
heard of.
Some thief or thieves, OF last Wednes-
day night. broke in to the wardrobe OF Mr..
C.. L. Blair and family, which happened to
be hanging out ON The fence, and stole
several articles of clothing. Mr.. Blair's
dog aroused him, but he was u little too

MARY SHARP CeLLEGE.-Thc next SEES
sion OF this long-cstablishCd and popular
Institution of learning for females will
open on the first Monday, the 9th of Sep
TENDER. With the present able corps OF
instructors; with President Graves still at
his post; with crops of every description
unusually good all over the South; and
with the many local advantages presented
by our little mountain city us to romantic
scenery, exemption from all malarious or
epidemic diseases, We are anticipating Il
full school the next session.
This school was established by Mr.
Graves in 1851, ard the first graduates
completed their course OF instruction ana
received diplomas in 1855. The number OF
young Indies who have graduated III tiiS
institution is one hundred and siXty-scNen'
The catalogue for 1915 informs us that
over one hundred OF these graduates are
engaged in the instruction of the rising
generation Of the South. All who are ac-
quaintcd with the thorough course OF in
struetion through which the pupils Of the
Mary Sharp are compelled to pass before
attaining Its highest henors, can form some
idea of the influence which Is now being
eYerted on the Southern mind, which has
radiatei from this college. Those one
hundred teachers are engaged in propa-
eating the seminal principles imbibed I'M
der the roof of the Mary Sharp, imparting
the same fundamental principles hundreds
of their pupils who, in turn become
teachers, the numbers increasing in geo
