CULLEoKA, Feb. S.-The Literary
Club held most interesting meeting
with Miss Brownie TomlinsOn Tues
day night. DR.. Baskerville's lectures

Alternately February Is to study the
life of Sidney Lanier. Mr.. w. b. Tur-

We have failed to see in the HERALD
a report of the sale of the Culleoka In
sttute property. 1t was sold January
% for the sum of $500 to the High School
committee. Just what arrangements
they have made, we do not know; but
we hope soon to see a good building put
up, fine teachers engaged and a full
school. In other words we would like
for the former glory and character to
be established in the old place.
Miss Neely Alternately may have
coaxed the first jonquils into bloom in
her room, but Hillsdale has had the

snake to come out to see if spring had
arrived He must have been thirsty

couraged the colored girl to kill him

coat had become rather rusty. He
didn't know the ground-hog saw its

quarters the sun never shines.
