C1oslnr OF Dolton Academy.

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me space to give
you only faint account of the closing ex-
ercises of the Bolton Academy, under the
very efficient management of Rev. and
Mrs. j. T. Smith. The program for the
evening of the 18th inst. consisted Of decla-
nations, recitations dialogues, &C., and
on the evening of 10Th inst. of essays, nu-
sic, recitations, declamations, dramas and
the delivery Of three prizes.
On Thursday and Friday, 18th and 10Th,
were public examinations Of the school on
the studies taught during the session.
These examinations were very satisfactory
to the patrons, and quite complimentary to
the students and teachers, and showed
such thoroughness Of work as no teacher
need be ashamed of, but of which any one
might justly feel proud. / was very favor
ably impressed with the showing made in
this examination. as far ms saw it. The
scholars all acquitted themselves very
creditably in the way they carried out the
program for the evening exercises. The
and distinctly delivered. The recitations
very good, and so rendered as to reflect
credit on those reciting. The dramas, DC,
were we'll selected well prepared and eftec-
lively carried out. All showed the effect
of the careful training of good teachers.
There were three gold medals or prizes
offered by Mr.. Smith-one for department..
one for the best original composition, and
one for elocution. The first Of these, the
prize for department., was won by Miss
Idelle Rice, who bad not missed day from
school nor been tardy single time during
this year. The prize for the best compost
ton was awarded to Miss Edna Smith, Of
Abbeyille County. Tho modal for elocu-
ton was carried olfby Miss Maggie Grubbs.
These were beautiful and costly gold med
ais. The music showed the careful training
of Miss Cornish, the music teacher, who
is certainly well up on that subject.
Taken altogether, the people of Belton
are to be congratulated on the genuine sue
cess of this occasion. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
have great cause to be proud Of their work,
and the real success they have achieved.
We congratulate both the pupils and teach
ers on their good work we'll done. The
prizes were delivered by the School Com
missioner. We will look forward to next
years work with big expectations. Bolton
is at work with vim to prize up that vi
cinity with the strong lever of education.

Exhibition at n1ofratt,vI1le Academy.

AS soon as we reached home from Lob
anon last Friday afternoon, we immedi-
ately set out for the Corner in company
with our young friend, W. Mac. Sherard,
in response to a very cordial invitation
we had received to attend an Exhibition
given that evening by the pupils of Moi.
fattsville Academy, which is located at
Generostee Church. After a pleasant
drive we reached the Academy shortly
after o'clock, and found a large crowd
coming in from every direction for dis
tance Of several miles around.
A large stage had been erected on the
outside or the north wing of the Academy
building. Around this In the pretty grove
the Church pews and a large number of
chairs had been so arranged that every one
present could get good view of the stage
It vas beautiful moonlight night, and in
the grove numerous Chinese lanterns we're
suspended, which, together with the
merry clatter of the children's voices and
the radiant smiles Of the happy audience,
presented a scene that would charm any
eye.
It was about 81 o'clock when Prof. Nc
Elroy, the popular and accomplished
Principal of the Academy, appeared upon
the stage, and in few remarks extended
q cordial welcome to the audience, and
announced that the exercises were ready
to begin. The exercises opened by the
school singing q hymn, after which the
following program was rendered:
Rhyme Of our Rulers by eighteen small boys
Dialogue, "Uncle Morton's Gift" Misses Mamie
Presley, Sue Mccullough, Matte Beatty, Ella
Bherard, Hattie McLin and Messrs. j. L. Shera I'd
and Abner W Wharton.

B. Sherard.
Dialogue, "Changed Housewife" Miss Kate
Stevenson and Messrs. j. c. Tolbe1t J. W. Ligon
and Wade Sherard.
Song "Home, Sweet Home," by the school.
The program was interspersed with
some fine instrumental music, and every
one present seemed to enjoy the evenings
entertainment to it's fullest extent. From
the beginning to the close was one un-
broken chain of beautiful and pure selec.
tions, thorough preparation, and well dis
ciplined and trained execution. Such an
entertainment wields a good influence in
a community, that tends to elevate and
better the public sentiment.
Few vicinities have better school than
Moffattsyille, and not one has better
teacher. The past session has been very
successful one.
at the conclusion of the exercises ne
went to the hospitable home Of our good
friend, Mr.. D. j. Sherard, where we spent
the night most pleasantly. We returned
home Saturday morning feeling more
than repaid for our trip.

DelaYs are DANGEROUS.

The benefits accruing to poor men from
carrying life insurance have recently had
at least two striking exempliications in
this county in the deaths of Messrs. De-
Witt G, Holcomb and s. B. BroWnlee.
Each of these two had only paid an annual
premium and settlements were promptly
made as soon as the necessary papers
were made out. Mr.. Holcomb was
insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Ne.
wark, N. j., which is represented in the
Fork by G.. N. G. Boleman, and in this
CITY by G. W. Miller. This is one of the
strongest and most reliable companies, be.
ing in it's 46th year of existence and hav-
ing so millions of assets. 1t deserves
special mention for its prompt settlements,
having adjusted Mr.. Holcomb's claim
within ten days from the time proof was
made.
'sDelays are Dangerous s."-Every one
should promptly attend to this important
matter and thereby protect their wives and
children, in case of death, from the dread,
full inconvenience of poverty. Look out
for the Agents of the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company, and take policy

For the past few days there has been
little excitement in the city caused by the
mysterious disappearance Of young man
named Robert Crosby, who has been work
ing in the cotton mill. The police have
been at work in the matter, and from all
the information they have secured, the
circumstances surrounding the disappear
ance are little suspicious. Four weeks
ago last Sunday party Of young men,
consisting of Will. Henderson, Oscar Tin
dali, John Williams, Lewis Handy,
Charles Hughes. Jas. DAILY and Robert
Crosby, all operatives in the Cotton Mill,
left their homes on the factory hill and
went to piece of woods near by to en-
gage in playing cards, and when they
broke up all returned to their homes ex-
cept Crosby, who has not been seen or
heard of since. For the first few days
after his disappearance his absence caused
no uneasiness. His friends thought be
would soon return and get his trunk and
clothing and collect the wages due him by
the Company. When pay day (l5th inst
came around and Crosby not having
called for his money, the Superintendent
made inquiry about him. No one seemed
to know anything about him, but il finally
leaked out that he had last been seen on
the Sunday mentioned above. From this
the police began their Investigation, and it
was not long before they secured separate
interviews with Jas. Daily and Wlll. Austin,
both Of whom give the names of the par
ties mentioned above and told about hav
ing gone into the woods to play cards.
They admitted that the parties were gam
bling, and Austin said that Crosby had
lost all of his money and pair of sleeve
buttons. Their statements, however, diff
fer very materially about what transpired
and who was last seen with Crosby. Aus
tin went with the police and pointed out
the place where the cards were played,
and while there tainted. The officers
made thorough search all around in the
woods, but no evidence Of foul play could
be discovered. They propose to continue
the investigation, aud, if-possible, ferret
