Mrs. HALLE WATKINS LAW
RENEE who takes charge of the Pri-
mary Department of the Academy
next September, is a fortunate Sc
lection for the school and commu-
nifty. For years past she has stood
at the head of her profession in the
really excellent public schools OF
Memphis, and has afforded in her
school the best exponent of what
can he done in the primary grade.
Teaching has been with her care
fully selected and thoroughly stud
led profession and having made her
self master of all the systems, inclu-
ding the famous Quincy system, she
has formed her system and has been

Four brief months and ten days have
glided by since dear little Tommie was sent

IT has been fashionable for year
or two to visit the Northern lakes
or mountains. These resorts are
very pleasant in hot weather, but
they have serious drawbacks.
First, it is very expensive getting
there and back again. Then it is
still more costly to remain, as one
should, until Southern frosts; for if
one returns home during the mala-
rial season he is much more liable
to suffer the effects of the poison
than he would have been had he
remained South all summer. Then
their distance from business and
other connections is an objection.
All these can be avoided and more
than equal benefit secured by the
expenditure of less than half the
time, money and preparation neces-
sary for a Northern trip. We have
within easy reach a resort whose
claims have been before the public
fifty years and never been rivalled
or disputed. In all that ministers
to health or pleasure it is. the peer
of any place in the United States,
and its charges are very reasonable.
Railroads give its visitors excursion
rates. We refer to Bailey Springs,

Clark.vllle Female Aeaasmr

On last Tuesday evening, we,
with several trustees of the Female
Academy, had the pleasure of look
ing over the buildings and grounds
of that institution. 1t is well
known that just after the war this
property was found to be in very
dilapidated condition. Each sue

found the successive presidents inn

DIR. Wright and the Rev. J. r..
Plummer each added to the COM
fort and appearance of the sur
roundings. In last May the Rev.
j. r. Plummer resigned his presi-
dency of the Academy, and the
board OF trustees, after carefully
surveying the field, unanimously
elected the Rev. Jno. S. Collins, of
Memphis, as his successor. They
may feel we'll satisfied with their
choice. He has not yet reached the
meridian of life, but has reached
that age where his views are ma
ture and his sentiments and policies
settled. He has been trained in the
public school graded system of
teaching, and brings to bear upon
this, his life work, the enthusiasm
of youth coupled with maturity of
judgment and earnest experience.
Assisted as he will be by an unex-
ceptionable corps of teachers, we

On Sunday morning last, we, the
married reporter of this paper,
gathered up our numerous family
and hied ourselves away to Salem,
on the Southside, to attend the
Quarterly meeting at that place.
There was a large congregation
present to listen to the able dis
course of the Rev. w. Mooney, in
fact the attendance was SO large
that the service had to be held out
in a beautiful grove near the church.
After the morning service was con-
Guided the vast crowd was invited
to partake of a bountiful dinner
spread by those generous and hos
pitable people and all eat until they
were satisfied, and still there were
many n basket full left. The only
thing that marred our enjoyment
during the day was the race we had
with Il thunder storm on our return
home in the evening. The race
commenced at the Seven Mile ferry
and we had it nip and tuck, but the
storm beat us about one hundred
yards and we received a shower
bath which cooled us off after one
of the hottest contests we ever had.

Memorial service Held by the M
r.. sunday school, July 40, 1881.
These proceedings have been oc-
casioned by one of those sadest of
events that are so frequently occur
ring and that never fail to startle
nor to remind'us Of the uncertainty
of human life. AT one time we
mourn the untimely death of some
dear little boy or girl, at another
time are shocked by the sudden loss
of young grown person, and then
again as in this instance, we are
called upon in sadness to surrender
to the grave one of mature years
between whom and ourselves a long
acquaintance has served to strength
en- the bonds of sympathy and love.
In all these cases the tenderest ties
of interest and affection are rudely
sundered, causing the hearts of
many to bleed with anguish and
quenching hopes that have their
anchor in the Utmost recesses of the
soul. Our dear departed brother,
William S. McReynolds had been
for very many years a faithful teach
er in this school. only a few weeks
since he was with us in apparent |
good health. One of his most strong
ly expressed desires during his late
illness was that his Sunday School
class should keep together and he
hoped that he would soon be with
them again. He assisted in the
erection of this building forty years
ago, was the last one connected with
this school and almost the last con-
nected with our church who took
any part in the building of this
house of worship in which so many
have been brought to the knowledge
and love of God. The greater part
Of these years he was teacher in
this school and was for some years
steward of the church.
WHEREAS. an Advise providence did, ON
.he 9th day of July, 1881, remove from our
midst our dearly beloved brother and fell
w. 5. McReynolds. who had
)een thirty years teacher of this Sunday
school, therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of this Just
nan our Sunday School has lost valuable
eacher, the church an important member,
md his family an affectionate husband and .
ather.
Resolved, That we sensIbly feel our loss
nd cordially sympathize with the afflicted
louse-hold of our deceased brother in their t
Teat loss.
Resolved, That we commend his virtues I
o all, and his example of long continued
ervice in the Sunday School TO his breth- {
en- for their imitation, and especially do | o
re commend Lis pure life and his whole
ONE teachings 10 that class in this Sunday e
chool OF which he had charge at the time
( his death and which was the object of his a
lous concern TO the last Intelligent hours of 4

Mr.. PRESCOTT, of the house of E.
Howard & Co., Boston, Mass, is
putting up the tower clock in the
new courthouse, assisted by Mr.. III.
Worsnop and Mr.. G. Buck. To an
unsophisticated reporter the clock
appears monster, the striking
weight weighs twelve hundred
pounds, the pendulum rod is four
teen feet long with ball on the end
weighing two hundred pounds, and
everything else on a proportionally
large scale. Mr.. Prescott is an eX-
pert and travels nearly all the time,
putting up clocks furnished by his
firm. We suppose his familiarity
with machinery enables him to
stand being bored by newspaper
man with such good nature. The
clock will be in running order by
the last of next week, and then all
the fellows who stay out to lodge
meetings o. nights, will have to
come home on time.
