ley County's Teachers Institute,
convened in this city, this week in
the Court House. About $50 teach
ers were in attendance, one of the
largest numbers that ever attended
an Institute in this city. The In
stitute was to have been presided
over by Prot. Hodges, but he was
unable to be present, end Prof Will
son NJ. Foulk, principal OF the public
schools of Piedmont, was sent to
fill his place by State Superin.en-
dent of Schools, Tretter. The ses-
sion was most profitable one to all
who attended, as they seemed to
take active part in all the subjects
of discussion, etc., during tue entire
time. Many interesting subjects
we're discussed and grand lectures
delivered. Miss Adelaide Y. Finch,
of Lewiston, Ne, who is principal
of training school, was also secur-
cd and gave instructions in various
normal branches. She spent post
of her time on reading and language
work, but devoted part of her time
to other branches. The session of
Monday was held in the Grammar
School, owing to Circuit Court be.
ing in session. The remaining time
wss spent in the Court House. The
management of the Institute was
under County Superintendent Sny.
der. Prof. A. G. Kimler, of Shep-
herd College, was present on Tues
day and delivered a choice lecture.

rived at noon on Tuesday and was
