the April aud May numbers of the Palmetto

lexington, 81 g., and are Of the opinion that

One OF the young Vox's asked the follow
ing question, which We are unable to answer
satisfactorily;
.'To what tribe of indians did Pocahontas
belong? We don't know very much about
the original Pocahontas, but know a liusol
descendant Of hsrs-a beautiful young LADY
by the Same name, with whom we danced
many cotillion during the war, while on
the Peninsula. Many cs the Holcomb
Legion survivors will remomb0f Miss Hun

Many abl.bodisd men will provide for the
education OF their children and only in this
way. Some people seem 10 thiok that The
property holders should support the schools.
and because they pay ST.. poli tax their
children (it makes no difference how mapy
they hsve) should be educated ON that ac-
count, This 10 supremsly ridiculous. The
property holders have no better right to
educate our children than To furnish them
with food aud clothing. Many men spend
more money for whisky and tobscco. with
lost time at country cross roads ,-shan Il
would take to pay for the education of their
children.
