FLEMINGroN's ACADEMY.
What is Being Done for Education
in Liberty County.

"There is life in the old land yet" was
viyidly realized by your correspondent
few days since, in the noted old county Of
Liberty. On Friday last in the quiet and
unpretentious village of Pennington, I'm
said county, were had the closing exer-
Clsps Of ''the village school," which is
nj ST admirably conducted by Mr.. j. ..
Spencer. nm accom- piished scholar and an
excellent diseiplinarian The proficiency
of the pupils showed thorough training
IN English literature, arithmetic, aige-
bra, geometry. Latin and Greek. etc. The
patrons ana friends Of the academy were
inspired with fresh zeal aud brighter
hopes Tor the future. At night was a most
entertaining exhibition. the programme
OF which / inclnse and ask, if not too
long, IT'S publication. The evening was a
delightful one; the rendition Of the Vari-
Gus pieces was admirable. The music
was under the direct supervision Of Miss
Laura Martin, assisted by Miss Minnie
Way, Of savannah, both ladies' being ac-
cOmpIished and cultured musicians.
They were we'll supported by local mu-
sicians, OF which the village is deservedlY
proud. Then came in their order refresh
ments abundant and varied, Of which old
and young in free and Jolly mood
heartily partOok. Brief and appropriate
addresses were delivered. At a late hour
the happy crowd of parents and children
and friends dispersed, better satisfied than
ever with their highly favored homes.
Remington should no longer, because
Of her native mOdesty, ''keep her light
under a busnel" Hundreds Of places I'm

with far less merit. IL is but a short
distance from savannah, near Mcintosh
station, on the Savannah. Florida and
Western railway, aud about half way be-
tween that station and HinesVilIe, the
county site. The village is noted AZ a
mora and religious place, its people 90
cfal, intelligent and whOle-souled, whilst
the nealtn of the place cannot be sur
passed. Think, then, Of good health con-
tinuously, good water, good society. good
church and school privileges. and good
people, thrifty and energetic and happy.

z Promptly at his Post. 5

WAsH1NGToH, July 12.-Ex- Governor
Thompson arrived here. this morning on
the early train from Columbia. He pro.
cecded to the residence Of Comptroller
Trenholm, and after breakfast accompa.
MED the latter to the treasury department.
He Immediately called upon Acting Sec.
fretary Fairchiid and announced himself
ready to take possession Of his new Office.
The departmental notary was summoned,
and in the presence Of Messrs. Fairchild
and Trenholm the new assistant secretary
took the oath ofSofice. This formality
over, Assistant Secretary Thomp,on went
over to the White House, paid his re-.
5spects to the Presid dent and informed him
that he was prepared to enter upon his
duties at once. The usual courtesies
were exchanged, after which Governor
Thompson returned to the treasury de-
partment and occupied himself until
noon, receiving informally the congratu-
slations of friends in the department. At
12o'clock. he was informed that his Office
Swas open; to him, and the bureau officers
and chiefs of divisions were ready to be
presented to him. Some thoughtful
person had placed q beautiful bouquet of
sfowars upon his desk and the room was
filled uiththeir fragrance. Mr.. Fairchild
stood By the side of the new assistant
secretary and Chief Clerk Koumans made
the introductions. All prominent depart.
mental officials were present, and many
subordinates also presented themselves
for introduction. Governor Thompson
at once created o favorable impression
upon bis official associates by his pleasant
and courteous manners. As he and
Fairchild stood side by side q veteran
bureau chief remarked: "That is a
splendid team, both about the same size.
like the new secretary's appearance; he
stands squarely upon his fleet and looks
you straight in the eye. He seems to
have all the qualifications of successful
executive officer" Your correspondent
heard similar expressions of opinion on
all sides, and our late Governors intro:
duction into the treasury department was
q decided success. Governor Thompson
spent the remainder Of tho day familiar
izing himself, with the duties he will be
called upon to perform, and in becoming
acquainted with the officials in his Office.
To. morrow he will begin the routine
work Of bis Office.
