A certain Frog who lives in the Wal
nut street sewer, having heard of the
Council action declaring that no sewer
should be built on that street, lit his
pipe and thus addressed a company of
his Shiny companions: "FellOw-croak-
ers, our home is secure for another
year; the Council whom we have
read about in the DEMOCRAT have shown
their wisdom towards us by refusing to
disturb the mud and filth which is our
delight, and even the grass and weeds
that make the street resemble a swampy
creek bottom, will be undisturbed. The
Street Commissioner, with power to act
in this matter amounts to nothing. as
all the street and alley fund has gone
to fix up West Ninth street. Light up
your pipes and we will smoke"

very excellent Institution, of which we are
oil SO proud, is i'll n ilourishing condition.
Every few days ad,ls from two to three to

think that whole army OF beauty and in
telligence was taking possession of our
town in their afternoon walks. Our young
men are all in love-who can blame them )?
Mr.. w. W. Brown, the very efficient
Principal o f the William ston Male Acade-
my, resigned his position short time since,

host Of friends here. The best wishes of
all our citizens attend him. Mr.. T.. Il
Hardin, Mr.. Browns successor, brings
with him iii experience Of ten years in the
school room, and has already produced
quite favorable impression here. No
town in the upcountry offers better facili-
ties for educating the youth of both sexes
than does Williamston. One of the best
educators in the South pronounces DR..
Lander born teacher, while Mr.. Hardin
has made for himself an enviable repnta-
ton as an educator Of boys.

thing wanting to make the life Of the Gu
diets comfortable or to ensure tho prcsor-
vation of their health.
The commissary is we'll filled with
stores, and, in short, when the cadets ar
rive on Monday morning they will find
everything in readiness. The officers
quarters, on :hc south side OF the build
ing, are line, large rooms, ana have been
tastefully furnished and decorated. The
latest information received by the super
intcndent is that Isl cadets have been ap-
pointed, and it is not at all improbable
that the full capacity OF the building will
he taxed TO accommodate them. by Civ
ing up a portion of the officers quarters
on the third floor ls6 cadets can be ac-
commodated comfortably, AMI this plan
has been adopted.
