The editor Of The lIr,ald and News
regrets very much that he was un-
av"idably prevented from attending
the closing exercises of the O'Neall
Academy, which were held last Satur-
day.
This is among the best country
schools i'll the county and is in com
munity which is largely settled by
white people and where a first class
school should be strongly supported.
The school the past year has been
taught by Prof. l.. a. Scasc. We un-
d'rstand that there was lar", aud
renee present and everybody enjoyed
the exercises by the childrn. Tt was
tn" intention OF the editor TO be pres
rnt and enjoy the day with his many
friends in this community but he did
not return from a previous engage
mcnt as early as he expected and was
therefore unavoidably prevented from
meeting with his friends in this com.
munity.
