On October 18th, 1886, four years
ago last Saturday, the editor Of the
Banner passenger on Queen and
Crescent Railway-passed what is
now known as the City of Bessemer,
Ala. It was then an old field, and a
surveyor was-at that time surveying
and stalking off the lots of the culture
great" When we again passed the
same place on the night Of the 25th
of August last, the desolate old field
had grown into a large and prosper
Gus city Of brick houses, electric
lights and several thousand popula-
ton. The iron horse did the work.

Some years ago teacher went
into a strange country neighborhOOd
to teach a three months summer
school. He liked the WORK so well,
and the people liked him so well,
that they concluded to have him
teach ten months school. Every
child within radius of three miles,
and some even, further, attended
the school. The teacher did his best,
and the people did their best. The
people in the surrounding towns
even sent their children out to this
country school. 1t was a purely
agricultural community, and the
lands in general were much inferior
in value to land in many sections of
the State. People instead of sending
their children away to school, or
keeping them out of school because
''they had to work" sent them every
day, rain or shine. The result was
an advance in the price Of land,
increase in population, and farmers
had no difficulty in getting good
tenants. The effect was feltthrough-
out the community; the people got
in the habit of meeting together /;
the school was their common center,
and everything indicated prosper
Gus community, and the result is
discernable to the present day.
This, brethren, is bit of my own
experience as a teacher, and when l
say that it is practicable to have
good schools in the country where
the people co operate, l speak from
actual facts. Let me impress it
upon each brother present at this
Parish Union, to use their efforts
and influence in their respective
Localities, to get the people to unite
in their efforts to have a good school.
Vote a local tax, aud improve the
school property, and they will be
repaid in the enhanced value of their
own property, in the tone of the
community, and, most of all, in the
precious trust that God has giver
us-our children.
