sounder judgment, clearer understand

b. Carter We esteemed him whilst
living for his holy, diligent and useful
life, and sincerely lament his dsath. To
the deeply afflicted widow and children
we extend our heartfelt sympathy in
this their great and irreparable loss.
= We have received from the Fine
Art Publishing House of Geo. Stinson
81 Co., Portland Maine, several pictures
recently published by them. The sub
highest praise. Stinson s. Co. were
among the pioneers in the Fine Art
publishing business in this country, and
year by year their business has grown,
until at the present time it has assumed
colossal proportions. Messrs. Stinson
q Co. are at present in want of a large
number of new agents, to whom they
offer the most liberal inducements. We
call attention to their advertisement,
headed, ITO the Working Glass, in our
advertising columns.
= Mrs. Callie Hale, daughter of ex-
Senator Brownlow, and widow of the
foully murdered John @. Hale, of Hot
Springs, Ark, reached Knoxville last
week, and will reside with her fathers
family. Mrs. Hale and the Senator's
family have our deep sympathy.
- The examination of the pupils of
the Morristown Female High School
last week, was very hattering one to
scholars and teachers. and is compliment
tary to the mode of teaching adopted by
the Principals. From the little we heard
of the examination, the pupils seemed
to have studied to good purpose, and to
understand thoroughly what they had
studied. We regret that other duties
prevented our presence from most of the
exercises. In conversation with educa-
tors of experience who were present
each day, we learn that the examination
in all the classes gave general satisfac-
ton, showing a considerable and marked
improvement, alike bespeaking labori-
Gus Efforts on the part of the teachers,
and proper diligence and attention on
the part of the young ladies. There was
solid evidence of painstaking and dis
cipline, and hence from one and all we
heard only good report. The essays
and declarations of the young ladies
Thursday morning were decidedly mer-
itorious, both in matter and delivery,
Astounding in beautiful thoughts e1o-
quently expressed, that won boquets in
abundance from an appreciative audi
ence. The manner in which these were
received and delivered presents hope
full sign for the future of our country
There were minds backed by energy,
which, if mental and moral training is
not stopped too soon, will present our
country with women qualified for all the
great and responsible positions of life.
The music-under direction of that mas
ter of sweet concord, Prof Dillworth-
both instrumental and vocal, was of the
highest order of merit. In brief, the
last year of the Morristown High School
was a complete success, and too much
honor cannot be bestowed upon Profs.
Summers and Lowry who have brought
it about. They especially deserve the
thanks of the people of Morristown and
of Hamblen county for giving them this
creditable institution. Let us all rally
to its support. We regret that want of
space prevents US from charging on the
subject, but we promise to recur to it
hereafter and urge its claims.
