Letter from our Blooming Grove Cor
respondent.
Mr.. EDITOR: The teachers institute of
the teachers of the 7th district of Knox
County, Thursday and Friday, Oct. 26th
and 9th, at Blooming Grove Academy, was
attended by large crowd of mostly young
people and students of the six schools. The
proceedings were about as follows:
Met first day at 9:30-Music. After
which we hstend to an address by our eff
Gent superintendent, Prof. W. @. Gibbs,
in his felicitous manner. The speaker de-
sired that he might breathe out his last in
such meeting, and be waited to the por-
tails beyond in the eternal teachers and pu
pills association. Can Knox County afford
to give up such man? A man that is SO
much devoted to the interests of the peo-
pie? We think the County Court could do
nothing better than solicit him to accept
the Office again. The present teachers of
the7th district would be highly pleased with
him longer.

noise for about two hours. He is terri
BILE fellow to make wry faces; but you know
it is difficult for him to make any other
kind To tell the most about it with the
fewest words, it was river of words and
spoonful of thought
can't help but pronounce, woe unto
that man that rose up early in the morning
that he might peep out of cell No. 5.
