Mr.: .EDvToR:. Your paper was re-
ceived Inst Wednesday with joy; by,all
your subscribers here, from the TACT,
they expected to hear something in
regard to moving Pickens to this place
but imagine the feeling, when they
read what Mr.. Bowen says of the rail
road. However, we will endeavor to
keep before the people the why's and
whcrefore's, and should the railroad
get there before we have it moved
here, good and well, we DO not propose
to lie discouraged in the enterprise,
and as we have said before, we will
shoW the people the reasons, &c.
The town marshal has the calaboose
i'll fine trim, but keeps it vacant.
Miss Ida Smith, daughter of Mr..
Job Smith, has been very sick, and is

her bed with rheumatism. With these
exceptions, Liberty is enjoying good
health at this time
MIR. Pack Boggs is looking very
pleasant at this tine-it is bouncing
big boy.
A procession of buggies passed thro'
our town on yesterday in the direction
of Easley. This morning they return
ed with two handsome brides. Their
names I did not learn. Suffice it to
say they looked like the picture Of
health, and in fine spirits. May peace
and happiness attend them.

Nh. El'TroR: [ send you the fol
lowing, hoping that it may not only
prove interesting, but Of some benefit
to yolr many readers, especially to
the teachers. It being what I obser
we'd during NY visits to the schools
during the winter and spring, con
cerning the teachers, which I place
to their credit.
l. Being ut school each day i'll due
time.
2. Having a programme prepared
before entering the school room,
which gives proper time for prepar
ing and reciting each lesson.
3. Keeping the schodH room neat
and clean, and making it as attractive
as possible.
4. Studying the nature of each
child, and not trying to change na-
tnre, bat helping it along.
3. Giving due attention to each
pupil III school, and giving such in
Structi0ii as the disposition and wants
of each require.
&. Speaking to pupils in q friendly
way, and asking, instead of comman-
ding thenl to do certain fayors.
7. Teaching EACH subject so thor.
oughly, that the scholar need not
spend II large part Of the next term
to get as far as he is at the close OF
the present one.
s. That pupils arc lead to think
for themselves by questions being
put in such way as to invite thought.
0. That problems are made SO
plain BY the use of the black board
that the most stupid scholar cannot
fail to understand.
10. That the teacher knows what
to do, and does it, and thereby; gains
the respect and confidence Of his pu
pills.
II: Securing the attention of th,
class before the class exercises ar,
begun.
II In many of our schools, the ex
erci3es Of the day is begun with pray
er. On! what an opportunity th'
teacher has for doing good, not onl,
IN 1mporting knowledge, but in rais
l'lg morality to a higher standard il
our midst. LADA& MAULI'IN.
Miraculous Escape.
