GOSSIP FROM SALEM.-We have had
long dry spell, and have very little
hopes that the recent rains will do anv
good to tho late crops. The cotton
crop will be- very short. do not hear
of any man claiming to make any
where the number of bales he planted
for. We arc having our full quota OF
sickness-chills and iovcr predominant
ing, with al occasional case ofmalarial
fuver.
We attended by special Invitation
the closing exercises Of two Of tho col
orcd schools of this county. Tho first
was under the charge of Clara Hous-
ton, located on Samuel Gricr's planta-
ton, and numbers at times one hum
dred and twelve pupils, with an aver
age of eighty. we had no means to
judge ofthe advancement Of tho pupils
in their various branches Of study, as
the exercises on that day consisted of
songs, short speeches, and dialogues.
These were delivered in q manner that
reflected credit on both teacher and pu-
pills. The latter, too, seemed TO DO
under good discipline. After the
school exercises closed, o. b. Moore,
colorcd teacher from Jackson's Creek
school, delivered to the patrons of the
school some wholesome remarks on the
Importance Of education, after which
they repaired to tho place where dim
ncr was prepared, and at least three
hundred souls felt rs if Clara IIouston's
picnic was grand succcss.--Thc Sec
ond was under charge of o. b. Moore,
located at Point Lookout Colorcd
Presbyterian Church, and known by
that name. Tho school numbers at
times eighty-five pupils, with q gencr-
al average Of sixty-tlve. Tho closing
exercises of this school being tho Same
as the other, we can tell nothing Of its
general routine of duties. Tho speech-
es, songs and dialogues were we'll
rendered, and the pupils appeared to
bo under strict discipline. at the
close Of the exercises, Henry NJ.
Holmes, colored, and the principal Of
the school delivered speeches in behalf
Of the common schools, and the Inn.
