HAPPENINGS AT GOVAN.
School Opening-Other Items of an
Interesting Nature.

Govan, Sept. 2O.-The Govan
school began it's session Monday, the
18th, Mr.. and Mrs. Smoak, OF
Branchville taking charge.
We are sorry to record that Mr..
Smoak, the principal, was very much
indisposed on yesterday, necessitat-
ing the call of a physician.
The Govan school has always
borne the distinction of being high
class school. It has still the ma
terial in the intellectual ability of It's
pupils, and also sufficient finances,
all the requirements necessary TO
make an enviable institution for
rudimentary instruction. The great
trouble with too many children IS
when they arrive to the age OF ad-
olescence they fail to realize that at
that initial point with them is the
proper time to imbibe lasting I'M
pressions of wisdom and knowledge,
or to say, it is then that they should
lay a correct foundation for charac-
ter building, by the proper 1nstruc-
ton in the rudiments of education.
But too many lose sight Of the great
lessons taught them in early man
hood or womanhood. Some forget
the village school-master and his In
fluence, and some are soon cast up
on the sea of times immensity for
lorn and shipwrecked."
I wonder what per cent. OF the
American reared children upon grow
ing to manhood or womanhood re-
tain to good influence the impress
ion to good derived from the story
of George Washington's violation of
the paternal ordinance. He upon
being reprimanded exclaimed to the
father: 81 won't tell lie father; l
cut the tree" =.
Oh, for the teaching of the rudi-
ments of education!
But for the need of time I cannot
further discuss this all-important
subject.
Miss Jennie Herren, charming
young lady of this place, we learn is
to make her abode in New York City.
We regret that she is to make her de-
parture permanently and so unexpec-
edly.
Rev. E. Aston Wilkes filled his
place at Salem Sunday afternoon.
His sermon was doubtless enjoyed by
the goodly number present. 1t was
a very forcible sermon and he held
the congregation spell-bound.
There is a nice school building
being erected at Hilda. 1t is near
ing completion. Under the headshlp
of Prof. Chandler, that school will
doubtless advance to a higher stand
ard of education, and it is evidenced
by seeing such nice school building
in course of erection.
'sTelepathy," a new mode of mes
sage transmission. But maybe 1t is
not quite 80 new, but rather new to
man, the discoverer of, should I say
a "miracle"-no for DR.. Kherralla
says that there are no miracles,
hence miracles are unfounded. He
says: eve do not accept the miracles
of the Old and New Testaments in a
literal sense, as they are commonly
understood, but interpret and ex-
plain them as symbolic expressions
of suiritual truth" Mark S-12.
"And he sighed deeply in his spirit
and saith: Why doth this generation
seek for a sign-verily I say unto
you, there shall no sign be given to
this generation.
Telepathy, if I have the word cor
rect, is no mystery. It is the power
of conveying personal communica-
tions by the power of mental vibra-
tions without the use Of visible
means. The wireless Is sound VI
brations, the other is thought vibra-
tions The receiver, a person, has to
be enrapport with the sender to to re
ceive the intelligence.
