The Boozer school (colored) will
close in a few days. The term, al
though of short duration, has, under
the management Of VIM. Howard, OF
Benedict college, passed through the
greater part of one of its most sue
cessful years.
This article is to ask the sympa.
thies of those in authority, and the
we'll wishers among our white friends
for what they might do either direct
ly or otherwise. But especially is
the appeal made to those among our
own people whose responsibilities
ought to arouse them to some action in
their own behalf. With a little fore
thought and a corresponding action
we could materially affect the educa-
tional interests among u people OF
the community which, besides it's
present benefits, in the process Of
time would mean morally and other
wise a higher standard Of living for
US. Patron.

ton iuto teachers work, was spoken
on by = o. B. D. Messenger. Mr..
Wessinger is a deliberate, thoughtful
a i entertaining speaker. He gave
the teachers many valuable hints as
to the use Of the blackboard. His

interest.

The third meeting Of the associa-
ton for this scholastic year was held
in Lexington school building on Sat-
urday, December %, 1899, at eleven
O'Clock.
President J. Frank Kyzer called
the meeting to order, and in the ab-
sence of Secretary, L. A. Sease, 0.
D. Seay was appointed Secretary
pro tenn.
Calling the roll and reading the
minutes were dispensed with, on &C.
count of Secretary's absence.
The day was cold, damp and rain
ing and yet the attendance was zeal
good; many teachers came from a
distance. These facts go to prove
the zeal, energy and love some
teachers have for the noble profess
sion they have chosen.
Miss Sue Corley had an excellent
paper on reading. She discussed
the subject clearly and thoroughly,
impressing her hearers with the fact
that she knows how to teach reading
as we'll as to talk about it. The dis
cussion was a credit to the author as
we'll as a benefit to the hearers.
Upon the above subject some
favorable comments, valuable criti-
cisms and helpful suggestions, were
made by Prof. Thad Dreher.
A paper replete with valuable sug-
gestions, in every detail showing
thoughtful and careful preparation,

Wayside Notes Gathered By Billy
Felix.

Felix.
To the Z litor of the Dispatch:
Every rose has it's thorn and every
bitter it's sweet. The two years past
have been one day of eternal sun
shine and happiness with Billy in
the welded life. The smiles and
caresses of the amiable and devoted
Mrs. Felix have been most soothing;
but they were all knocked into a
cooked hat a few days ago when the
little Miss Felix fell sick. All felt
gloomy and respondent, but by the
hand Of an all wise providence u
home is again lit up with sunshine,
with her smiles and prattles.
A cold wave struck US again and
many porkers fell victims to the
butchers knife.
Our noted bicyclist declares that
if a certain girl marries he's bound
to leave the State. By way CT par
enthesis I'll just say No. IL, the
opportunity will be given:
You may take your flight,
Ga some dark night;
And leave the State;
Do not tarry,
For sure as fate,
She's bound to marry.
Messrs. D. B. Sphaler and G. L..
Hutto have gone to Alabama to look
after timber for the purpose of box
ing.
IN my last communication I said
that the Rev. T. T. Rivers had &C.
cupied the Ciippard home. 1t is net
that one, but G.. ". Sightler's man
sion.
George Dewey felt highly exalted
after the battle of Manila, but moth
ing in comparison to what Rev. Tom
Rivers felt the other night when the
members Of his church here slipped
in on him as Dewey did on the
Spaniards in the Bay of Manila
He was pounded equal to Moro
Castle By the American fleet. I
have seen Tom surprised on several
occasions, but nothing equal to this
one, when the -four, hams, pudding
and sausages, sugar and coffee,
fruits and money and other things
too numerous to mention were being
piled down. You just ought to have
seer his eyes. Almost equal to the
full moon in August.
There is popular sporting young
man now who wears a great long
face since the passage Of marriage
license law. Says he's not able to
pay the fee should she consent to
become his happy bride.
Our farmers are looking forward
to the preparation of lands for the
coming crop.
We hope you met with an abun
dance of success, Mr.. Editor, while
on u side, in pursuit after the
mighty spondulix.
Campaign year is upon US, and I
just want to say right here that we
have some good men for Office. We
propose to put up an all round man
to make the race for Sheriff, and the
man that beats him will be our next
officer.
Ere you hear from me again, Mr..
Editor, I'll be feasting at that heavy
laden table prepared for the express
purpose to feast at after performing
that most delightful ceremony.
Should Billy not fail in the dis
charge of this duty and the present
heslth of the pleasant Felix family
continues, you may again hear from
Billy Felix.
