Verona High School.

The closing exercises Of this no.
ted institution were begun on Sun
day, last. 22nd, inst, a: the Meth
odist church at Verona. Rev. /. c..
Wler, of Bonneville, preached the
annual sermon. before large au-
dience who gave to the reyered
speaker the closest and most re-
spectful attention. The sermon was
replete with words Of wisdom aud
admonition and made a deep i'm
preston on the congregation. This
venerable minister was the first
president of North Mississippi Fe-
male College { which preceded the
present High SchooI and resided
in this village for several years.
He partially reared his large fam
lily here and there are many Of eur
present people who recall their as
sociation with them with great
pleasure. Mrs. Weir accompanied
him and received warm welcome
from her old friends.
The baccalaureate address was
delivered by State Superintendent
H. l.. Whitfield, on Monday, at
10 A. NJ, at the High School Chap
ell. A large audience listened to it
attentively. 1t was of u different
order from the usual style Of such
addresses and made deep impress
sion upon the parents, teachers
and children who heard it. 1t aboun-
ded in timely, practical ideas which
were made the basis of many wise
and common sense suggestions. 1t
Was a marked departure from the
stereotyped form of such speeches
and instead of being "a literary eff
fort, it followed line of practical
thought that attracted and pleased
everybody who heard it. 1t was the
concensus of expression that it was
the best and most effective address
that had ever been heard here.
The exercises We're continued
at the High School at $50 2. M.
by "Childrens Hour" which gave
the little ones of the school the op-
portunity of showing how well
their patient teachers had trained
their budding ''ideas how to shoot"
1t was most interesting part of
the program.
At s o'clock 2. Nj. Monday the
closing exhibition aud coucert was
given at the High School. One of
the largest audiences that evea as
sdmbled on such an occasion here
| was present. Perfect order and re-
spectful attention was maintained.
The program was long one and
much interest was manifested
throughout its rendition.
The term just closed was one Of
the most successful in the history
of the school. Prof. Schumpert
and his fine faculty are entitled to
the thanks of the community for
their excellent work in their great
field Of labor.
There were many visitors to our
town this week to attend the School
Exercises. There were many teach
ers amongst them. I'VE regret
that we cannot name them all.

Better Houses for Farm Tenants.

All over the country is heard the
complaint of the scarcity of farm
labor. Upon this, largely, we base
our prediction hat cotton will re-
main for some time at a price that
will make it's cultivation profitable.
Our system of farming has under
gone a great change during recent
years and the large plantations
worked with hired labor can no
longer be found in this part of the
State.
1t is quite noticeable that the
farmers who have the best houses
for renters to live in have the best
class of tenants to work their land.
making the farm more profitable.
In slavery times the negroes, as a
rule, had good, comfortable houses
to live in, but for years after the
val but little attention was paid to
the houses and the colored people, a
large number of them, seemed to be
satisfied with any kind of a hut to
live in, and many are still quite hap
Ply and contented with like condi-
tions; but as we said before, the
most desirable tenants, both white
and colored, demand good houses to
live in and the farmer who provides
them receives a large income from
his farm and is not troubled every
year to secure labor to work the
farm.-Roanoke- Chowan Times.

The Alliance and Hog and Hominy.

The Farmers Alliance in this
county have an opportunity to do the
entire community a great and last
ing service; one so eminently practi-
cal that the members of the order
should urge it to a man. 1t is moth
ing more or less than to employ the
Alliances utmost influence of exam
pie and precept to induce the farm
ers to raise their own meat and bread
next year.
The evil effects of not doing so,
so a~cutely felt in the eighties and
eliminating in the disastrous year
1889, should still be fresh enough in
the minds of a large majority to
make no argument on that score nee
essary.
With the present inordinate high
prices of cotton the temptation to
plant all the land that can be cult
waited in cotton is great. Only wise
counsels can prevent the neglect of
food crops for cotton.
With this community making its
own supplies our prosperity will con-
tinue. We will not be princes one
year and paupers the next.-Tarboro
Southerner.

Immediately to the work of getting

makes this a prime necessity. Labor
is going fast, and the machine with

supply the deficiency. It is the only

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum a

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum d
Unique Institution.
But where is the museum? For
liz is the isabella Stewart Gard
ner museum in the Fenwayr says
Sylvester Baxter, i'll Century,
that visitors come to see on the
public days, together with many
other works of art belonging to
Mrs. Gardner. 1t is everywhere
and nowhere. 1t is everywhere,
because the specific objects be
longing to it are in no particular
part of the house, but are distrib.
uted all through IT, with no mark
by which they can be Identified.
| 1t is nowhere, in the sense that
the place as whole is not a mu-
scum at all that is, ii is not an in
ytitutiOn established to exhibit
works of art. When Mrs. Gard
ner formed the purpose of shar-
ing with thegeneraI public, under
certain limitations made neces-
saTy by the circumstances, the en-
ioyment of hercollections in their
un6quely beautiful environment,
rather than limit that pleasure
to herself and her particular
friends, she had already paid
enormous duties for their impOr-
tatiOn under our barbaBous tariff,
the aim of which seems to be to
exclude, so far as practicable, all
manner of refining and educative
influences for the establishment
of our life and the exaltation of
our minds with the works of ar
tistic genius. But since thepublic
was to participate in their enjoy
ment, it seemed no more than
equitable that such works as
might thencefOrth be- imported
should be admitted free Of duty
under the provisions Of the law
that gives such privileges to- in
cOrpOrated institutions of art.
Therefore, the museum was iHsti-
tuted, and a very small proper
ton of the works comprised in the
collections were since imported In
accordance with the terms Of the
tariff. These could easily be
shown by themselves in one com
paratively small ROOM. But II
seemed so much more fitting to
give them the surroundings most
suitable to their character that
they have been distributed
through a greater number Of
the rooms. Therefore on ttie pub
Tue days VISITORS have the priv
TIege Of seeing tile better part Of
the beautiful house,.

from his rivals, but transmitted
