The responsibilities which now de-

will soen rest upon those that are now
passing through the shaver era And
by visiting the country schools, we
find them everywhere. preparing for
the various vacations of lite. All the
schools are full of bright-eyed boys and
girls, who by their actions express
desire 10 be intelligent and happy.

IN HAWKINS COUNTY.
We visited some schools in Hawkins
cOgn ty this week. We found Nathan
L. wOrley at Rockcsstle in Charge of a
large school, the average daily attend
auce being about fifty-five. Nat. Is an
old experienced school teacher and
maeages a school cbarmiugly well.
We called on viii @. Davis at Beech
Grove school house. "Grandsire" had
about fifty enrolled, consisting OF
men, young ladies and little bright
eyed boys and girls. He was showing
the s,uisnss along right nicely. Tie
next thug in order was to Wait Miss
Matte Campbel's school at Shiloh, ON
the headN atsrs OF the East Fork of
Richardson s creek. Miss Matte had
a very full school, and she had them
ali under good control. Notwithstand-
ing children will stsre at strangers"
we never saw school of children more
attentive, plying their minds to their
studies more steadily in all our life.
We don't knew what Miss Matte is to
receive for her services, but il she car
ries out the school as she is new NOV
ing it, she deserves big pay, AID
crown Certainly awaits her.
AT BROOKS SCHOOL HOUSE.
Crossing the line back into Hancock,
we visited Mr.. Jno. ID. Mitchell's
school at Brooks school house Mr..
Mitchell had big school. We can't
say how his school will wind up, but
as Daniel was cast into the lions den
and came ont unframed, we have
faint hope that he will get out alive.
John is a moral young man and is do
ing Ais best, but what does il avail to
pitch straws against the rock of Glib
