ORA, May 1.-THE Ora high school
closed its session recently with splen-
did entertainment which was very
largely attended by the people of this
and adjoining communities. The chill
dren and young people of the school all
acted well their parts, and much praise
and credit are due the principal, MISS
Martin, for her untiring zeal and en-
ergy for the success of the school. The
address of the occasion was delivered
by j. Il. Mccain, Esq. brilliant
young attorney of Spartanburg. He
had for his subject "What is your life?"
and his address was OF the highest
character, aud in 1t he gave the young
people some very wholesome advice in
regard to the formation of good habits,
character building and right living.
His address was greatly enjoyed by
the young, as well as the older ones of
the audience.
The medals were delivered by A. G.,
Todd, Esq, one of Laurens' most prom
ising young lawyers. Mr.. Todd is a
very fluent speaker, and through his
remarks ran a vein of humor which
was much enjoyed by the audience.
at the close of the entertainment
Miss Martin delivered farewell ad-
dress which was very touching. The
school would do well to secure her ser.
vices for the next session.

the failure cf the yitrifed brick to ar

received yesterday, consisting of nine
cars and more brick are now in Argen-

inability of the Iron Mountain road to

given as the cause of the delay.
