SEPT. 24.-It was our good fortune yes
terday 10 attend the third quarterly meeting
of the North Pacolet Interdenominational
Sunday school convention for 1894. A large
congregation was present and the exercises
throughout wero Characteristic of the people
who compose that body. People from diff
ferent sections Of the county were there, and
all manifested an unusual interest in the
work.
Miss Lizzie Moorhead, to whom had been
assigned the duty Of conducting "mosaic
primary class exercise was present and
prepared 10 discharge that duty. Her sub
ject was "The Youth of Jesus She began
her work with few simple questions, an d
as the pupils advanced she rivited upon their
minds the important facts she wished them
to learn. by series Of we'll arranged
questions her class was taught in a few min
utes what it would take a slovenly, slip-shod
method weeks or perhaps months to accom-
plish. This feature Of the work was new
to our people, and at first some were dis
posed to think it would prove failure. But
not so. Long before Miss Lizzie dismissed
her class AID took her seat we could read in
the countenances of those present (many of
whom are fret class tcachers), that the
North Paco,t Interdenoninaiional Sunday
School convention had scored n success of

AMI characters Of the boys and girls Of our
common country are moulded for usefulness
by the bani of pure and noble womanhood
then will the church. the Sunday school
and Society occupy the exa'ted plane to
which each aspires. Let the old foggy idea
that women should occupy no portion of
promioeace in public affairs, even when she
can make herself useful, be relegated to the
rear or buried beneath the wheels of pro-
gressive civilization and christianity.
Prof Sans was also there, and in his
usual clear distinct and comprehensive
style giyo some lessons on normal teaching.
AS IN educator Prof. Sans stands upon the
top round of the ladder; end anything we
might say of his ability would be superflu-
Gus. The State Sunday school convention
has elected him to manage its State paper
which will appear as soon as possible, and
we advise oil who are in sympathy with the
work to subscribe for il.
In regard to the convention at ElBethel
we might say that The floral decoration of
the church WAS with the choicest flowers
that this climate affords, and the dinner
spread by the ladies was n compliment to
the occasion. Esq j. M. Greer says that
there are nineteen cases Of sickness within
sight Of his home this morning. Most, if
not all Of them fever cases.
Mrs. A. F. Kendrick has our thanks for
an abundant specimen Of her vegetables.
She is one of the best horticulturists we
have. May her shadow never grow less.
Our people are busy making hay, picking
cotton, making molasses, etc. In fact, this
is the busiest seison the farmer has if he is
awake to his duty. few days lost now will
bring want or even ruin to many house
boulds in this community, and this is no
exceI ton in tn respect.
