Our SCuOOl is maLrlCulatlng rap
idly and will have soon reached the
maximum, that is as many as we
can comfortably seat. We would
have the best school in the county
if 1t was not for two or three
months public, which is detrimen-
tai to the private school. The ma
jority of this people own homes,
and are prosperous, happy and amp
ly able to educate their children.
They want better system of pub
lie schools or none at all. We be-
lieve they would be satisfied with
eigh. or ten months but nothing
less. The hearty cooperation that
we've had, and the interest mani
tested in our school is an evidence
that the people want good school
and are going to support it. Most
all the schools of the 18th and 9Th
opened Monday with a very good
attendance. Crops were never be ter
here at this time. The din of the
thresher is being heard in the dis
lance and wheat is much better
than was anticipated. Last Wednes-
day the 18th inst was indeed a gala
day for this and adjacent commu-
mites. The people commenced to
assemble in the valley near Beas-
ley store, the place designated for
the picnic, when about IL o'clock
there was not sitting or standing
room. Col. Mcdowell of Nashville
the speaker of the day was intro
duced by DR.. Harwell with some
very appropriate remarks, who de-
livered an eloquent and instructive
address, which held the audience
for more than an hour. After a
most magnificent dinner, to which
all did ample justice, we had very
interesting addresses from DR..
Thomas Harwell, T. o. Alternately,
Hon. R. P. Yancey and Elder Black.
The farmers are banding together
which means business. 1t takes
harmony and unity to make any
thing a success. Farming is lau-
dable profession and should have
the chief place in the category Of
fame. Everything passed of quiet
ly and that day will long be re-
membered.
The young people met in the
grove near the Academy last Satur-
day and whiled away a few hours
very pleasantly in some very inter-
esting games of croquet. The game
is very popular among the young
folks at this particular seaoon.
