Our esteeme ed School Examiner and
Secretary, MIR. T. S. Stone, has returned to
his home in Woodville, after being alb
sent most of the time for several weeks
past, making his final visits to each school
throughout the county, and giving each
his personal supervision. Mr.. Stone ex-
presses himself as greatly pleased by the
progress made by pupils, and the general
excellence of the High School in Laurel,
under the management of Mr.. Roger
Manning, the Principal, and corps of
of able teachers. This High School has
been esta blished only few years and
owes its birth in very great measure to
the indie atigable interest anc energy OF
Mr.. Stone who during his long term OF
office has never grown weary of we'll
doing, and has greatly endeared himself
to the teachers generally throughout the
county.

greatly improved during the past year,

to an additional room and an assistant.

storm was so heavy as to wash out many
gullies in roads and fields, not to men
ton gardens, and ladies are grieving over
their drowned poultry; still we rejoice
| that the destructive drought is broken
| and those farmers who had not finished
| planting their tobacco crop before, have
now been able to do SO. Some tobacco
beds IN our neighborhood were only saved
by watering.
