As promised in the last HERALD we
give an account OF what we saw and
heard in the prosperous town OF Pros
pcrity. As 4 part of the body New
berry it has ever lad a large place in
our esteem. A visit there always affords
lis pleasure. There is an energy and
avim abOGt her people quite refreshing.
None of that feeling ''cvcry man for
himself and the devil take the hind
most" is ever exhibited there, but liz
stead 4 kindly bearing to each other,
always shown. Prosperity proper.
that is the town and county. seem 10
be actuatcd by Il feeling OF onc-ac>S
particularly gratifying. If anything
of public character Is started in the
town, the county lends its active SYM
rathy and support, and so it i between
county and town. They take hold OF
anything with vim and energy. ''What
is every mans business is no mans
business is not the sentiment which
prevails among her citizens. We look
upon Prosperity rs 4 ''happy family"
The Academy has the sympathy and
good will of the entire community. and
under the intelligent administration of
Prof. Cork, and his assistants, Prof.
Counts and Miss Boulwarc. is eminent
ly successful. On its roll there are one
hundred and twenty pupils, OF both
sexes, and OF all agtS, and this large
number are under excellent discipline
and control. Preparations are now
being made for the Annual Exhibition
which will come of in June, and the
promise is that it will be interesting.
1t was cur pleasure to attend the OPEN
ing exercises Tuesday morning OF last
week. All OF the pupils assembling in
the main large room, the roll was
called, which was followed by reading
OF the Scriptures and prayer by Prof.
Cork this doMc, the classes separately,
by sound OF the principals gaycl. stood
facing tile door and at another signal
marched to their respective rooms.
The Prosperity Academy is an InSttu-
tion OF which the people Of that section
may be proud.
\ new church building has been
erected since we were last there. 1t
is quite neat in appearance, ana OF
good size, between fifty and sixty feet
in length and about thirty-iivc feet in
breadth. 1t is uupainted, and il al
lowed to continue in that condition it
will reflect diScrcGt Oh the Methodist
denomination.
Speaking OF painting. We noticed
that our good friends. and very ell
crgetic mercantile friends, MeS>rS.
Wheeler, MoSely & Co.. are Subjccting
their large StOrc-rOOm to several coats
Of paint. This is right. The proper
season for painting is the summer,
when BUSINESS is not in the way. These
gentlemen however always have 4
gratifying run OF business. and even
DOW are getting god share of trade.
We learn that they are investing large
~ in Florida lands, through the agency
of Mr.. S. p. Sigh.
McsSrs Wise Il Son have a fine large
store, full OF goods, and they complain
that trade is good, and that they have
no time to devote to the frivolities.
The Son is one of the most active men
We know; he reminds us forcibly OF
the Frenchman'S flag, he cannot keep
sNill minute at time. He is here.
there andcverywherc, but nevertheless
he meyer misses an opportunity to
drive a Nadc.
Mr.. A. IL -kohn is young merchant
of intclligcnceS and activity. Besides
devoting 4 large portion of his time to
merchandising, and the providing OF
bread for q wife and two children, he
finds time TO contribute to several
newspapers. This is right man
ought never to hide his light under i
bushcl.
It was with great pleasure that we
were pointed to man OF whom any
community might we'll be proud. We
alludc to Mr.. \. G.. Stockman. \ man
who, to use 4 country expression.
Lives ut homc;" that is, raises every
thing he needs, and of his abundance
has always to sell. We like to see
such men, and it is a pity there are
not more of them. but for the matter
OF that, we know there arc more Of
the same sort.
TO sum it UP, Prosperity is 4 good
place, and man might 90 a distance
without finding another such. Peace,
and prosperity TO her.
