I'VE regret to state that Mrs NJ. I. Green
has severed her connection with tho Eas-
ley High School as Music teacher. Fail
Ing health, and a desire to travel with her
husband, Col. Green, who is first.ciass
artist, were the reasons which prompted
her to give up her position in the school.

most excellent teacher We are sorry to
lose the citizenship Of Col. Green and his
good lady, We hope success may attend
them whithersoever they may CO." Per-
sons desiring good portraits OF to learn
the art of drawing should call and see
Col. Green.
For several days past that portion of
Main street near Messrs: Reed & Ste
phens' shops has been traversed very
cautiously by pedestrians, on account Of
very dangerous and pugDacious
''crowd" that had collected together in
the middle of the street. Now 1t is not
often that our policemen attempt an ar
rest but that they succeed. They have
como In contact with some pretty danger
ous characters, but have always come out
first best Such was not the case, how
ever, last Tuesday, when Officers Fant
and Cummins were sent for by citizen
of that portion of the city with the re-
quest that they disband tho aforesaid
''crowd" These officers responded to
the call with theig usual promptness, but
on reaching the spot and viewing the
''crowd" they declined to attempt any
arrests. The officers had their pistols and
clubs, but under no circumstances could
they be induced to make an attack. AS
they stood there silently looking on, amid
cluded that they would rather tackle o
crowd of Comanche Indians than this
"crowd"-a live hornets nest about the
size of a peck measure. The nest, how
ever, was destroyed Tuesday night.
Col. John G. Clinkscales, our energetic
and efficient School Commissioner, in
forms US that the County Normal Insti-

on Monday, August 10th, and continue
through the week. Prof w. 8. Morri-

made an effort to get Miss McCants, Of

Monday and close at IL O'Clock on Satur:
day. This will enable teachers to leave
their homes on Monday morning and re-
turn Saturday afternoon. Drs. Manly. OF
Greenyille, Grler, of Due West, and Dun.
can, of Spartanburg, have been invited to
Commissioner says no public schools for
white children will be allowed to run
during that week. This Institute has
been gotten up especially for tho teachers,
and they should take advantage of 1t, as
It will no doubt be Of great benefit to
than for their board, which will not be
much. We hope to sec every white teach
or in the County present. The Commits
sioner expresses q desire that the trus-
tees Of the public schools attend the ex-
ercises, and also extends an invitation TO
all persons interested in education to be
present. The exercises throughout will
be very interesting.
