the term last September, and was as
sisted by the following corps of teach
ers: Miss Annie Miller. of Rock Hill;
Miss Sara Blakeney. of Clinton: MISS
Eunice Grist. of Yorkviile. and Misses
Jennie Currence and Nell Mel. of Clo-
Yer.
on Thursday evening the closing
exercises were held in the opera
house. The programme was short
and simple, being confined almost
entirely to the high school department.
Turing this year the department mas
been receiving aid from the state
board. and has done splendid work
under the instruction of Prof. Spann
and Miss Mel. Recently these teach
crs had their young men pupils to-
prepare declamatiOns, and the young
ladies' ESSAYS. with the view of having
Judges determine the best three OF
each to be delivered or read at the
closing exercises. Out oi thlrteeh

cause to feel proud of their work.

II is the purpose of the trustees TO
snare no effort necessary to nave tle
new school building for which the voo
ters recently authorized $io,oVC
bond issue, in time for the opehlilS u,
the fan term. They have recently
nurchased a tract of land embracing
fonr acres in a most desirable portion
Of rho TOWN. on which to erect the
buiIding. and provide ample recrea-
ton grounds for all time TO Goine
The plans for the building are Deiils
prepared by Architect walker ol
Rock Hill. and are expected to De
readv next week. and the contract Will
be awarded with as little delay as pos
sible II is expected that the GROUNDS
on which the old school building
stands will be sold for almost; If not not
quite enough. to pay for the new
grounds. The bonds have not peem
~ tba erection of the building on TINS
account. the Bank of Glover has ad-
vised the trustees that they could pro
ceed to make all their arrangements
and contracts just the same as II the
bnnds had been disposed of. as the
bank would guarantee par for them.
All of the old teachers have been re-
elected for the coming term out II
said that several may not accePl,
therefore il is quite likely that there
viii be one or more new ones to Sc
