personating a few of the young
ladies and little girls; of course,
some did better than others.
The speeches of Annie Lee
Dinwiddie, Mamie Lamb, Katie
Gordon, Mary Drake and Mary
Rodes, were, indeed, excellent;
and the readings of Misses
Lizzie Haynes, Lizzie Bruce,
Mary Ramsey, Mary Wallace,
Tillie Nassauer, Mary Hall and
N ettie Tardiff, could not have
been excelled. All did remark
ably well, and we wish we could
attend such entertainments Of
ten. Our town has now one.
the best schools in the State.
Prof Bradshaw is one. of the
best instructors our town has
ever afforded, and we are glad
the school isin a Furnishing con-
dition, and we feel confident that
the next session will have a
larger number of pupils than
the one just closed. Mrs. AL
ice Allen, the assistant teacher,
has but few, if any equals. Miss
