Quite q large audience were In attend
ance upon the G erciscs of the Murphy tenn
perance meeting last Wednesday night, spite
of the excessive hot weather.
Mr.. Charles f. lsham delivered the address.
One of the most interesting features of the
evening was the reading by Miss Annie
Wood. Coming next after the address, it
WAS touchnglY appropriate, as it illustrated
one of the points Of the address. i. G., the
evils resulting to families from drinking hus-
bands. The sweet and solemn tones of the
pure girl, breathing out upon the air that
mournful refrain, struck noble chords within
the breast Of every one that heard them. The
rendition was enthusias tically received.
Miss Maude Glegg gave splendid exercise
in reading.
The music, vocal and orchestral, was splen-
did A noticeable feature in the vocal part
was that exquisite duett, by Misses Pink
Dibrell and Maude Clegg, Holy Mother,
Guide His Footsteps" The singing of the
beautiful music was far beyond our criticism
We regretted and we mean nausht unkind
to the young ladics-that they were not more
particular in their articulation, as the sublim-
ity of the poem was thereby lost to the audi
ence. The delicious music is only exccled
by the words of the sweet prayer, and was
splendidly rendered by Our young friends.
If you want to spend few pleas ant hours,
attend the meetings.

ras" We arc glad to learn, from the
President of tho School Board for Van
Burcn District that there is somo pros
pcct of having u Public School for the
coming year, there being some $500 or
$iO0 in State scrip in tho treasury, be-
side the Peabody fund in prospect. Tea
chers can be employed who will wait q
year, and until the next tax is collected.
Before anything is done, il seems to us
that financial statement should be made,
giving the expenses and costs of carry
ing on the school, last, and what it will
cost this year. The way the white school
was conducted, last year, was an outrage
on the taxpayers. Three men, on full
pay, were employed rs teachers of a
school that did not average, we are in
formed, 100 scholars. Let us hear from
the Board in full and fair statement of
the situation, that confidence may be re-
stored, and the school carried on pros
pcrousIy and satisfactorily to all.
