Notes From the Hipb scbooI.

We feel very much complimenteC
! that the HERALD has offered space il
its valuable columns for the new,
from the High School, and we will
endeavor 70 give, from week to week
such notes as we think will interest
our many friends.
On Monday the 22nd, Washington'i
! Day was appropriately celebrated IN
Hall No 3 by pupils belonging to the
lst and 2nd, 9TH and 9th grades
The hall was beautifully decorated
with pleasing reminders of our coun-
try and its great and only George
and the pupils acquitted them selves
gracefully and creditably. Fifty
nine visitors were present and all
seemed delighted with the pro-
gramme.
We are very busy in Hall No 4
now, writing debates, and, as we are
permitted to make points, after each
speaker retires, much fun as well as
instruction is afforded.
The following subjects are being
argued:
ResLoUed, That 'I'd rather learn
trade than a profession" 7th grade.
RESOLVED, That "Most men are bad,'
Sth grade.
Resolved, That "a visit to the Worlds
Fair will be more interesting than
trip to Europe"
Ines DObbins takes the cake for
solving partnership examples, and he
calculates interest more rapidly and
accurately than any pupil in our
room.
John Cant aud Briggs McLemore,
two of the University boys, were over
10 see some of their friends, last Tues
day, and party is removed, but We
DO not know the particulars yet.
We are in receipt of a copy of the
Howard Institute Record, a spicy
little paper published at Mt. Pleas
ant, by the Howard Institute boys
and girls. II is a regular little gem
aud the daylight" extends its hand
and its best wishes.
JOnquils and violets have appeared
in our room, and they have a most
peculiar way of changing places.
For instance, in the morning they
are in the boys hands and in a little
while the girls seem to own them,
and vice versa.
Misses Hattie Porter and Genie
Mitchell are back in school after a
protracted absence. We hope they
will remain well enough to attend
regularly.
After this, Longfellow's "Rainy
Day" will be familiar to a number of
our pupils who had to remain after
school and copy it, two or three
times, not long since. Don't you
think 1t is mighty hard, Mr.. Editor,
that we have to stay in these lovely
afternoons, just for whispering the
least little bit?

Misery Hill.

Seeing in the Democrat of last week
few items from "Sleepy Holler,"
have concluded from my superior
height on "Misery HILL" TO "view the
landscape DER" and see what / can find
in the way of news for the HERALD.
However, in the first place IL is well TO
say, that news in this vicinity Is scarce
indeed, and but few things happen that
would be of interest TO the general pub
lie. If we could only be able to record
| "A marriage or two, we then would feel
that we had done some good, and that
our poor efforts had not been entirely
IN vain. But, alas! marriage is "A thing
of the past, and lovers are scarce as you
will find the news in this article. STILL
III behalf Of myself and others, allIA
me TO say that there are still some "Old
maids" remaining, who dare-say
would take pleasure In once more put
ting on paint and feathers and starting
once again on the war-path of love.
La grippe has reigned supreme in our
neighborhood for the past two or three
months, and all those who claim TO be-
in tho least fashionable, have had
slight attack; while others who have
not been quite so fortunate aihrE ~ Is
the regular old entluenza.
Mr.. John Young has sold or traded
his property on 9th street, ana win DIS
family has removed TO the country
where no expects to farm. They were
excellent neigh bors and we regret TO
give them up; still, our best wishes go
with them in their new home.
Mr.. Henry Harris, formerly OF Bear
| Creek but now of "Sleepy Holler," has
gone in business with Mr.. David Dortch
| and they propose, so | understands, not
| only TO supply the public with tlowersi
| but with early vegetables as well.
! Mr.. John Hill has been repairing and
in other ways improving his home on
| " Misery"
Mrs. Mamie Cherry and little SON
! Alga are out from Nashville on visit
| TO Telative and friends.
Mr.. Willie Whitaker, a young knight
| of the melancholy countenance, was on
the Hill Sunday, aud Judging from his
| looks, we can no longer doubt that his
heart was carried by ga certain young
lady," to the "Lone-Star" State, some
weeks ago. Misses Annie DeuE
| Brazier, Lena Noss and cousin Mr..
John Voss also paid the Hill visit
Sunday.
| Mrs Ida Foxall and Mrs. John Hill
| were on Bear Greek recently. -
Mr.. Frank Welsh, who has been quitoi
| i'll for some time, IL, we are Blrd 10 say,
| slowly improving.
Mrs. j. b. Woodside is also better =
after an illness of some days.
| Mrs Russell, Sr., one OF our mos
estimable ladies, who has been confinelN
! 10 her bed most of the winter, Is now
J able to be up and about the room.

painter, has been suffering several

Twenty Ninth Anniversary, Phintias


As previously announced in our
columns, the knights of Pythias OBJ
served the twenty ninth anniversary
of their order last Friday venlng.
A gOodIy number of the membership
attended, but the attendance was not
as full as it should have been.
Mr.. L. p. Padgett was the speaker
of the evening, and his theme was
"Pythianism." We give below few
extracts from his excellent address.
OF the other occurrences in this mys-
tic chamber we cannot speak; sufilce
it to say, that although there was q
good deal of mystery and ceremonial
observance, still there was hllarlty
enough to make those present forget
the rough and painful experience OF
reaching Pythian hOnOrs. Mr.. Pad
gett gave a brief historical sketch OF
the remarkable friendship that eX-
listed between Damon and Pythias,
the sublime quality of the love that
enabled Pythias to surrender himself
a hostage that Damon might see his
wife ana child before he died by the
order of that cruel and heartless ty-
rant Diamysius. After the lapse OF
twenty-three centuries his life and
character still live to stimu late 9th
er lives to noble deeds of friendship; ;
charity aud benevOlence. There is no
victory without confidence and cour-
aye; confidence in ourselves and one
another, and courage TO maintain the
principles of right and justice. These
principles if rightly used will build
up character aud nobility of pur-
nose that will fill life full of sunshine
and bring upon our heads the bless
ings of the distressed. 80
The closing remarks were beautiful
and eloquent, yet filed with many
suggestions Of pr actical value.
