~0HERE is no more beautiful
habit than that Of writing
letters, and there probably Is
no habit more thoroughly
abused. The amount of trash,
outside of necessary business transac
tons. carried by the mail is beyond cal
culation. Some people write for the
mere sake of writing. Some write nom
sense. Some write of their personal or
household woes. Some write gossip. at
times approaching perilously near to
SANDER. Few write messages from brain
to brain or from heart to heart. And
yet there are and have been many let
tiers which are perpetual delight, and
which can be read again and again with
peculiar pleasure and profit. They are
messages Of sincerity, of graceful die
ton and high thought, of pure and I'M
selfish helpfulness. Many such have been
published and read with profit. Many
are treasured as family heirlooms Of
priceless value; and many are the hottest
possessions of those who received them.

The star OF the sea shines still In the sky,
And God is help and stay.
He who sent them fishing is with them still
And He bids them east their net;
And He has rhe power their boat to fill

w. II. Phillips was appointed
supervisor of Ellis school.
A petition for new school situ-
a'ed in the Loper neighborbood was
received and filed. On motion ac-
tion on same was deferred till next
meeting for further investigation.
Several applications fol raises in
salary were received. On motion
all were denied as the Board has
ruling that no salaries will be raised
after schools are accepted.
The superintendent submitted the
following report for the yeur which
was approved:
Of the 80 white schools So have
been maintained with an enrolment
of 2337 an average attendance Of
1889. The census showed 2503
white youth OF school age in the
county. OF these 166 did not at
tend school at all the past year, and
the average was but a little more
than one-half Of the total numbeg of
youth.
There enrolled in the negro schools
1886 pupils with an average attend
ance of 2l07. There are 3lO7 negroes
of school age in the county of which
All did not enter school the past
year.
The average school term for the
past year was Ill days, that OF the
previous year, lol, showing an in
crease Of 10 days for the year, As
some schools were maintained for
longer periods than 81 months, 9th
ers were run for shorter period a
few falling as low as 60 days. For
the past several years the term has
been gradually heightened aud it is
to be hoped that in the next year or
two the interest manifested will be
SO great as to paintain each school
for at least 6 months in the year.
The school property Of the county
is now valued at $4,000 an increase
OF 20 per cent. in the past year and
considerably over 100 per cent. in
the past 6 years.
or the 55 white schools 16 are now
seated with best patent desks, the
others are fairly comfortably seated
with so called "patent Pine" desks; (;
but all should have best patent desks
i recommend that the Board devise
some plan where eby at least part OF
those remaining may be so furnished
each year. An expenditure of sl50O
each year for 3 years on furniture
would supply every school in the
county.
The Board is to be congratulated
upon the financial showing made al
the close of the year. Que year ago
we had net cash balance Of $7430 4C
but the expenditures for the veal
were exceedingly heavy and only
financing enabled us to close the yea
