CAMPBELL's STATION, May 23.-This
beautiful morning, while all nature is
smiling in happy glee, as the sun as
cends the eastern hill, casting his bright
rays over the hill and dell and causing
the dew-drops to sparkle like so many
diamonds, we are perfectly charmed
with the appearance of our surround
ings, for we are seated by an open win
dow in the quiet and beautiful country
home of Mr.. T. B. Mcdonald, near
Campbell's Station, having accompanied
Mrs. Lizzie White home from McCains,
and we are enjoying quiet, sweet rest
after. the tolls of the school-room. AS
our mind naturally wanders back to
home and its surroundings, we choose
these delightful morning hours for
writing to our newsy and always well
come HERALD.
One Of the most pleasant and most
profitable terms Of McCain's Academy
closed last Friday night. The closing
exercises consisted of an address to the
senior class by Rev. j. M. White, Fri
dav morning at 10 80 o'clock, which was
enjoyed by all, as Mr.. Whites lectures
are always full of stern facts and excel
lent admonition.
Friday night the program consisted
of music and the original orations of
the senior class, which were as follows
Miss Bessie Giddens, Salutatory well
come; Mr.. w. G. Crews, "Time Changes
