ENTERTAINMENT OF TIE TEACHERS
The County Institute for white
teachers meets next Monday-colored,
the Monday following Many of the
teachers of the county are poor and
without the means of paying their
board at the hotels or private board
ing houses. VIII not our philan-
thropic citizens, who wish to see the
institute a success. open their hearts
and doors, and entertain the teachers,
or portion of them at least, who
come from a distance? It Will cost
very little, and Will be ofvalue beyond
price to some of those who desire to
attend. In every county Of the State
where these Institutes are held the
citizens always entertain the visiting
teachers We are satisfied the hospi
taity of our Meaningless will not let
this appeal for the good of the Insti-
tute and the teachers of the county
go unheeded. Those wiling to assist
in this matter Will please let it be
known by calling at the TINES Office.

board can be had at the Hotel Bruins
wick, for $40 per week.
SmithviIle is one of the most popu-
lar summer resortsin the country, and
any of our citizens who propose tax
ing q summer trip Will find this about
the cheapest opportunity they will
have.
