LUCILLE NJ. JOHNSON,

Born January fsth, 1881, Died July 1st,
1886.
Thou art gone in thy bfauty so rare,
Our sweet bud Of praise 80 fair,
Yes, gone to the land Of the Dlest-
Fer sin had thy lily-heart stained,
Fer guilt had thy pure spirit palncd,
Thou art safe In n haven OF rest.
Thou art gone from the gloom and the
blight,
Into Heavens own beautiful light,
Gone in thinc innocent years
Nc'cr to know anguish or pain,
Nc'cr shall thy brown eyes again,
BE dimmcd with the shadow of tears
Gone to bright pastures of green,
Where clear living waters arc seen,
Swift-tlOwing thro' emerald sod
10 the soft summcr-land where the
flowers,
Bloom mid perennial bowers,
In the fair garden Of God.
Would we from thy pure home above,
Recall thee, in our selfish love,
With yearning that cannot be stilled-
Back to this grief-strickcn earth,
Where trouble and sorrow have birth
And its days with sadness are filled?
No, darling! we yield thee to God,
And plant thy loved flowers on the sod,
That covers thy beautiful clay
We must wcep-but not bitter tears,
Wen wait, while the swift-gliding years,
Bring the glad reunion day.

We arc requested 10y Hon. W. ID. IIar-

mary election.
We ask our readers to examine care
fully the editorial of the Grccnvillc

down" and sec If you do not agree with
him, that. it is very dangerous pre-
ccdcnt to establish.
We would ask our readers to refer to
the paper Of last week and read the
article in the tcachcrs column 'IIow to
command respect" We think it worthy
OF careful pcrusal and believe good may
come from 1t.
We invite attention to the cards Of

every one to be one Of the best men in

Treasurer and comes from that section
OF the county, which has large Demo-
cratic vote and which has been very
modest In its claims for Office, besides,
he is thorough business man and has
carried these principles into the manage
mcnt Of the Office. Mr.. j. B. Fcllcrs is
our present efficient Probate Judge, Il

way worthy and qualified to continue to
fill this Office well, aud we would ask
that their claims be considered before

schools do more to advance the price OF
real estate and increase our population,
than all the money spent for factories
aud railroads, we would therefore urge
upon them tic consideration Of this mat
ter.s There Is about $1,000. AGO OF taxa
ble 3property in the town, which would
yield more than $2,000-this added to
the amounts now allowed to the four
schools in town would amount to more
than three thousand dollars and could
be divided as follows: The Female
Academy for girls only: Two teachers
ut $33 II month each, total for nine
months $G30. The male academy for
boys only: Two teachers one mt $5J
and the other at $50, total s720. Iogc
school, (miXcO: Three teachers one ut
$40 one ut $50 and one at $25, total
5000, and one thousand dollars for the
principal of the three schools. This
would give us the best school advan-
tagcs VIC have ever had in Newbcrry
AMI would cost each taxpayer very little.
Let us have an act passed, an election
on the question and try the graded
schools, If we don't like them we can re-
peal the act and dispense with them,

ON TO SI'ARTANIIIRE.

The Columbia, Ncwbcrry and Lau-
rens railroad is moving onward, with
Ilatterins prospects OF being built at an
early day. Lexington has just voted
forty thousand dollars. This, with
amount subscribed by No. 8 township in
Ncwbcrry, will be almost enough to
grade the road from Broad river to Pros
pcrity. We are looking to Columbia for
several thousand more, and what Is done
there should be done at once, or we will
look toward Lcwictlalc or JollnstOns
for aid and leave Columbia to the left.
The OranSeburg and Lcwicdalc and the
Blackvillc and AlSton Railroad are both
looking toward Lexington and New
berry for an outlet, and il Columbia Is
indifferent, we shall advocate reaching
Charleston by one Of these routes. At
the same time we would prefer going to
Columbia If the people there show n dis
position to give the road substantial aid
by increasing their subscription to say
fifteen thousand dollars. The next step
will be to vote subscription in No.
township OF Ncwbcrry. Then on
through No. 4, to the corner Of I.aurcns
AMI Union, and from thence to Glenn
Springs and Spartanburg. The county
commissioners have ordered an election
in No. i township in the interest of the
Narrow Gauge. This road was chosen
by the people Of this township, because
it WAS thought at the time to be the
most certain to be built. Since that was
done, all the townships Of Lexington
County through which the c., n. & l.. is
TO pass have voted subscription, and
president Mosclcy has been assured by
Charleston capitalists that he can get
all the money necessary to equip the
| road. SO it is now perfectly Legitimate
for the voters and frcrholtlcrS of No. i
township to take into consideration the
advantages offered by the Standard
Gauge before voting the subscription of
ten thousand dollars to the Narrow
Gauge. In shipping over the Standard
Gauge bulk Is not broken from the time

yon are helpless until transferred to or
from the Standard. Another thing in
fnvor OF the c., N. q l., is that it is built
with South Carolina capital, by South
Carolina men, and will be IN the full
sense Il South Carolina road. So let the
townships fall into line and build the
road on to Spartanbnrg.

There is soon to be new school
house-Johnstone Acadcmy-three
miles from Newberry. The people
in that community have suddenly
aroused to their best interests, and
will soon have q school room equal to
any in the county. We hope to see,
and don't doubt that there will be
as many rs fifty children in attend
ance by the close of the year. We
feel that Mr.. j. NJ. Henry will do a
good work in this portion Of the
county.

1SSS-lSHD.

We begin to-day the second year Of
our connection with the HERALD AND
NEWS. We think that we arc warrant
cd in saying that we have kept it up to
the standard It had attained before that
time. 1t has been our purpose to make
it the best weekly in the State, and while
we have not done all that we would like
to have accomplished, we feel that our
readers will give us credit for an earnest
effort in that direction. The arrange
mcnt we have with the News and Cou-
rier Co., by which we give every cash
subscriber Il copy of this great Southern
weekly free, enables us to furnish the
news gathered from all parts OF the
world, for the Daily, Sunday and Week
~ News and Courier, which, with on,
own selections, local and editorial mat
ter, reaches the homes OF our sub
scribcrs with larger and better cOllcc-
ton Of news than is now or has ever
been furnished by any publisher IN the
State. TO those who subscribe for but
one weekly paper, none can approach to
the advantages thus offered. We have
been encouraged by receiving the thanks
OF many OF our subscribers, and by re-
cciving subscription orders from others,
but we hope to add others, and by the
close Of another year to double our pres
ent number of subscribers. We shall
spare no pains to make the interest of
our patrons our interest, and shall en-
deavor to merit their support. We shall
continue to express our opinions fear
lcssly, and it shall be our aim to adyo-
cate those things which are calculated
to elevate our people and county, and
to be the uncompromisinS foe of evil and
corruption in whatever form it may pre-
sent itself. EDITOR.

County institutes and teachers

neld in many Of the counties Of the
State this summer, Richland, Green
vile, Marion. Spartanburg, Chester,
and other counties are taking great
interest in education. We don't be.
licve that Newberry intends TO be
left behind. Our energetic and pro
gressive school commissioner will see
to it that our county is among the fore
most. 1t is the duty Of the teachers
to come forward and help him all
they can, and the convention in Sep.
tember will be a grand success.

Teaching Writing.

The first thing is to teach children

arm are for large work part Of the
fingers are adapted to clasp
and to hold. Use them for the
work to which they are adapted.
The little finger is good to slide on,
it can slip over the paper. At first
children rest the hand on it's side.
TO correct this, use cross.bar fas.
