The present has been the closing week
of the Hickman Schools, and as a eonse-
quence the public have beer edited by
examinations and exhibitions. These ex-
ercises are peculiarly interesting 10 par
ents, and have proven 70 the credit of the

boast of no first class colleges, and yet
the schools now being taught in Hickman
are source of pride to our people, and
! in our opinion superior to most communI-

MRS MAHoSEYs : SCHOOL.
The summer term of Mrs. Mahoney 5
school closed with a public examination
Friday, and r. moonlight picnic, in the
beautiful grove fronting her school room,
Friday night, designed for the enjoyment
of the school children. Quite a number
of parents and grown friends, however,

spread under the shade trees, which TO-
gether with music, dancing, promenading
and conversation, passed the evening Oh
most delightfully."-. The examination ex-

HALYBURTos AAHs SCHOOL.
Prof. Haly burton's Male School, or rs
it Is better known by some, the Hickman
Academy, closed its summer term Monday
and Monday night last. This, is to the
/ general public, probably the most inter
/ esting school in Hickman, being largely
/ composed of the most advanced classes.
/ The past session, from different causes,
/ the classes have not been full, but we are
very glad to state that his fall terlh is
already largely better patronized than
any of his previous terms. He is an ex-
/ cellent teacher, and such An one as is
/ indispensable TO this community. His
school, if its real merits were known,
would attract patronage from abroad. We
hope to his pupils setting within
Hickman college walls before uany years
