L Tribute OF Affection to the
Memory of Miss Hattie
Rradley.

She is gone kind parents and friends
from our midst, as n blooming flower
withers and dies touched by the mercl-
less and chilling hand of winter, leay-
ing to memory an example of genuine
loveliness. How generous, amiable and
nobleminded our loved and lost. With
a smile for everyone, she made it her
mission to shed bright rays of gladncss
on the career of all with whom she
came in contact. Every one who knew
her loved her, and every one who knew
her intimately adored her. We mourn
her loss bitterly, we miss her pleasant
countenance, feeling that her death has
created IN our society void which cam
not be filed, yet we bow bnmbly in
submission To the will of a just creator.
Resolved, That in the death of this
cstimable Young lady we mourn the
loss in the church, the family, and the
large circle of those who felt the genial
influence Of her warm friendship, trust
ing that kind Fathers hand may
pour healing balm into the hearts
now torn and bleeding.
There is no death. an angel form,
Walks DER the earth with silent tread.
And bears our best beloved away,
And then we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate.
He piucks our fairest flowers,
Transplanted in bliss they now
Adnrn immortal bowers.
Affectionately her Aunt,
LIZZIE Harley.

Correspondence OF the Democrat.
The school interest Of the county
is, perhaps, as good as could be ex-
pected under the present system, but
it is far from being what it should
be, as may he seen by referring to
the annual reports, sent up from the
different districts in the county.
There are 80 districts IN the coun-
ty, and of these districts six, Nos. IL,
sc, 81, 70, rs and 10 have failed to
make any report whatever.
This failure to report the number
Of children of school age, decreases
the enumeration and, of course, less.
ems the apportionment from the state
to the county.
Some of these districts having
been recently formed, have not had
time or means to have any schoo
taught, but the neglect on the par
Of the districts of these BLANK dis
tricts to send up the number OF chill
