An account of the Closing Exer-
cises by j. r. Gibson.

Friday afternoon, April 10th
19O8-ln response to special invi-
tation from the teacher and trus-
tees of Deborah school the writer,
in company with Arthur l.. Eas-
terling, left Bcnncttsville after 5
o'clock cnroutc to Eddie Grants,
above PipEins mill, where we took
supper and afterwards spent the
night. Deborah school is located
near the Harris Odom old home
stead, north of Pcarson's mill, in
a thickly settled community, Dud-
ley Stanton living near the acad-
envy, being n Of the liberal pat
rons of this particular school.
Mrs, Eddie Grant is the principal
of this school, she was originally
a Miss Bclion, daughter of Rev.
Bclion, Of the South Carolina
Methodist Conference. There are
three of these Bclion daughters,
who are natural borne teachers
possessing extraordinary tact and
ability as teachers. Mrs. Grant
has quite a large and nourishing
school, and by forethougnt and
appreciation she has greatly en-
dcarcd those people to her, and
has created quite Il reformation
and revolution in educational
lines, in that community. 1t was
indeed an inspiration to witness
the result Of her efforts in tina,
