Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-07-10

. IWOuld not be meet 20 continue
our remarks without making mention of
Hon. Q. T. Crawford, who delivered
the welcome address which came in
such a manner as to m IKE ~ all feel
that Lawrcnccburg extended hearty
welcome to those in attendance.
Prof. Joe Simms, who has welded
the birch at Iron City, 10 these many
years responded in his usual character
istic manner
After few days session of the insti-
tnte the enthusiasm was 10 marked that
It was decided to begin the work at 1880
O'Clock, instead of 7:ij This act Of
course worked a hardship on some but
they were more than repaid as Prof
Simmons was enabled to get his dinner
Is minutes earlier.
Many side trips have been taken by a
few of the teachers and the result of
these may have marked influence
later on n few of the participants, at
least.
Many teachers availed themselves of
an opportunity to oattend religious seryi-
ces during their stay in our midst, as
preaching was in progress at both the
Christian and NJ. +. Church south.
Not only have those in attendance al
the institute received instructions along
the line of school work, but have also
been schoOled in the art of matrimony
as our people have been very partial to
the host that has been with us for so me
time, and have fully demonstrated on
two different occasions that love is moi
in vain.
Our attempt as historian would not
be complete without casual mention
of our excellent and efficient corps o.
instructors which has added so much tC
the interest and enthusiasm Of the in
stitute, but for a short time we viii
give the facts as they occurred while the
institute was in session.
Many visitors encouraged us by
their presence at several times and their
presence was always appreciated, as i
told us in that deep Silent and uu
spoken language that their sympath!
was with us.
Not few times have those who ar,
instructing along the line of Diyin,
truth, been with ms and so ably encour
aged us 10y kindly words of wisdom
grace and helpfulness,
At an early date, at a suggestion o
Miss Arthur's, flowers were introduced
and scarcely a day passed without som,
thoughtful lady would replenish the
stock, thus keeping fresh in our minds
the fact that the Lord of creation wa
also receiving a consideration at tn,
hands of those who had met togethe
for moral and intellectual developemen
Among the visitors from abroad VIII,
addressed the institute was, Mr.. Lewis
of Jackson an able represen tative q
the American Book Company, of Gin
cinnati.
Hon. S. A. Mynders, State Supt G
Public Instruction, was also with Il
one afternoon, and gave very appreci
ated talk to our people, at the Cour
House. This address was ably give
as is all such talks, when the Hon Mr.
Mynders has them in charge.
Many teachers from adjoining coun
ties availed themselves of the opportun
ty to attend the institute at this plac,
and the impression that some of tn
,, fair sex has made upon few of OF
gallant Lochinvars is very marked
We trust that their stay in our mids
has proven beneficial to them and r'
gret that it was impossible for them
remain during the continuance of Ih
institute.
Many amusing remarks have bee
made which had a tendency to lend
spirit nf mirth TO the occasion and al
in establishing a feeling of good wi
among those in attendance.
The generous hearted people of La
renceburg having thrown open the
doors to the many visitors, the Conn
Superintendent thought it but rig
aud just that means of entertainer
, be furnished, so out of the goodness
+. his heart and after a great deal of wo

lectures on Alaska, at the court hons
, Arrangements were being perfected f
the third and last lecture, when it WI
discovered that the carbon was exhans
ed hence the lecture was cancelled.
