A WORTHY TEACHER.

doubt very much, Mr.. Editor, II
there is better colored school III the
South than our own No. 2. Its sue.
cess attribute largely to the exec
utive ability and scholarly attain
ment of its principal, Miss L. G. Will
iams. Ambitious for the welfare of
her race, yet thoroughly well balauc-
ed well posted on all the educational
problems of the day, yet modest and
retiring, she has held her own, and
lived Down many jealousies among
her people, aud stands TO day among
the foremost public school teachers in
the State.
Miss Williams has long advocated
manual training as requisite for The
best development of the race; aud has
aside from her own school duties con-
Quoted classes in sewing, kpi ting aud
housekeeping, which have developed
marvellous aptitude along hese lines,
and | believe have been helpful in
making her pupils better citizens. /
am sure that book-learning alone will
never make the ncgIo good citizen
and but too frequently amplifes the
fact which Uncle Remus wisely noted
thus: "Put spelhn' book in a mig
gers hans, and right den ell dar' you
loozes q plow-band." Experience
should teach the colored man that ig-
norance aud industry make far more
for his eternal and temporal welfare
than idleness combined With eduCa-
ton. He must learu to take care OF
himself and not be any mans dupe IN
order to plead helpless dependence
aud shiftlessness. lie must learn to
live up to his premises and TO realize
the force of the "mine" aud Ihiue,"
and finally he must be mau in order
to receive q mans best treatment.
Miss Williams knows her people, aud
their needs aud our Golored brethren,
as we'll as the city, are to be congratu-
lated in having so safe and worthy a
teacher in whose keeping to place the
education of the colored youth.
She has an earnest, faithful set OF
co.workerS aud they feol no little pride
III their school and work.

INSURANCE.

The two young gentlemen whose
names head this notice are too vel
known for formal introduction to the
people of Greenvile or the Delta, but
to others the assurance can be offered
that the enterprise conducted by
them is managed on tbs bighesl plane
that business entrusted to them will
be attended to with intelligence and
accuracy; aud that The relation will
prove pleasant as we'll as adVaEta-
geous.
The business which has grown so
rapidly under the direction of Messrs.
Ireys& Stone now holds leading
place among GreenviIle enterprises,
aud is most fsvorably known where
ever the cily's influence extends. The
companies they represent Will be, TO
thosewho do not know them personally,
a sufficient indica ion OF their stand
ing among Insurance men. II is
doubtful if an equally good selection
of companies eau be shown by any
other agency III Mississippi, for they
have been chosen with the utmost
care aud with admirable judgment
Messrs. Ireys & Stone, with sednlous
care for their own interests, as well
as those oftheir patrons, have mado it
their practice A'dcal only with the
best and most reliable concerns, aud
insurance business intrusted 10 them
may be regarded as absolutely secure.
Among the best class of citizens OF
Grecnvllle their place Is a prominent
one. Always foremost in prof ectS
for public welfar'. and bound to the
improvement Of the city by private
as we'll as public interests, their use
fulness as citizens Is amply recognized
in the prosperity of their business
aud The esteem in which thoy are
personally held.

HARDWARE.

A list of GreenvIlle's leading insti-

hardware establishment of H. E..
Wetherbee-a concern which has
prospered through good times and
bad, standing ike rock when almost
all else seemed insecure, and steadily
growing in strength and reputation as
the years go by. Tho Wetherbee
Hardware Company is known from
Memphis 10 New Orleans as one Of
the stanchest aud most reliable con-
Germs of the lower valley, and in
Greenville Is regarded With pride sud
satisfaction as proof Of what can be
accomplished IN the upbuilding of a
great business on the liberal patron
age of Delta people.
The Mississippi Hardware Company,
with Mr.. S. r. Geise as lts capable
manager and director, is one of the
most extensive concerns Of the kind
in the lower valley. This house not
only keeps on hand great stock of
plantation. Implements, stoves, and
hardware of every description, but. a
very extensive line of china ware aud
artistic house furnishing goods. The
establishment occupies two large store
buildings, one of which is devoted to
heavier hardware, while the other is
fitted up as repository for costly and
elegant china ware, mattings carpets
and rugs. This artistic establishment
