and patrons Of The school. Each of
the three nights the court house,
where the exercise were held, was so
packed and jammed that ever there
was not standing room left unoc-

occasion and the large and appreci-
alive audiences inspired the young

graceful essayists and declaimers to
do their best to interest their friends
and to show IF to the best advant.
age the careful training they had re-
ceived from their instructress, and
that they surpassed the expectation
of even their most sanguine friends
is the verdict of all.
All the credit is due Miss Ellen
Hendrix, the assistant teacher of the
Institute, upon whose shoulders the
responsibilities of the exercises were
placed, owing to the illness of the
principal, Mr.. O. D. Seay, for the
very successful manner in which the
program was carried out. The repu-
tation of Miss Hendrix as q teacher
of unusual ability is confined not
alone to this county, but extends to
adjacent ones where she has taught
with marked success and given gen.
eral satisfaction. By her untiring
zeal, careful training and unruf1.d
patience the youths, maidens and lit

each one received was but added
honor to tie efficiency of their be-
loved teacher.

I went to Bstesburg to Investigate
the eruptive disease prevailing in

pox, which was introduced there by
a tramp. There are tSo cases in the
incorporated limits, one a young
white man, and the other a colored
girl. Both of these are mild forms
of the disease. There were four
cases of a severer type, but now con-
v~alescent, which are a mile from
town and isolated. Explicit direc-
tons in regard to the disease were
given to the town authorities, and a
man sent to take charge Of the cases
and enforce vaccination.
