rain badly, and by the way Moody Bennett
says there was cotton blossoms on the place
June eth, 1855, which was one week earlier
than the bloom we received.
We came on up through d. +. Charman's
farm. He has very good crop of cora and
cotton. We next came on up to the Little
Creek church where Rev. c. +. Monholand
was preaching. We did not get off our horse
here as the house was crowded and the yard
filled with people. Mex, place we came to

RISTON Males FEMiLE academy.

On Thursday evening las, in obedle nee to
a pressing invitation from Rev. w. e. Finley,
Principal of the Male and Female School al,
Rnston we ran ont TO attend the exhibition
and closing exercises of the school, The
closing exercises. however, had been going on
for several days. When we arrived at the
daughter, Eunice, the house was literally
damned, the weather very oppressive and
upon entering the Goor the heat came out as
no, as steam. We do not know the seating
and standing capacity of the house but one
thing we do know, there was not sitting room
for near all the crowd.
In few moments several Of the girls and
young ladies appeared upon the stage and as
the curtain was drawn 10 the sides opened
with song of welcome, which was well
rendered both vocally and ON the instrument
by Miss Lou Slaughter.
Next came master Newt. Burgess with the
opening speech, and before he got through
with it several other boys had come out in
front and delivered speeches. All did their
parts well. Then came music-due,, Miss

Then came the Faithful Enquirer" Then
the assessor, which had good moral fol-
lowed. When rightly considered-there was
more truth than poetry in this listing business.
The asses or came in and did rot a, hrst tell
his business but commenced to enquire of the
farmer, whom he had known in by gone days
about his success-fhe farmer as is often the
case commenced Boosting of his worldly goods
after time the assessor took ont his book
asked him about his numerous cattle, horses
&c. The old man saw tho poin,-but the
children insisted that for one horse the father
had refused $4,000. The girl spoke up as
to the number Of mich cows-the old man
said they were dry cattle and insisted on the
children attending to their own affairs. This
act has a moral People like to boast of their
wealth until the assessor come. and then they
are very poor.
Next came the Song "By oh baby Bunt-
