that The present building spot was
not the first site selected for the
school building of this community.
CThe cOVnty was not divided into
districts until after the war;.
The first house Of learning was To-
Gated about one mile from here, near
the place known as the old IthOdum
Doyle place, now owned by Tom
Berry, of this neighbOrhood. We
seldom hear of this part of the his
tory of our school, as the first build

given because il is a bounteOus Coun-

however. as it was not considered Of
sufficient value to bring any price at

a few brave settlers who were will

against Indians who roamed over the
country. To these first settlers we
owe much indeed. 1t is no wonder
now that the children OF this genera

Tamassee, Aug. 25.-Special: The

Wash Greek Baptist churches, held in

attended, and much interest was
shown in the services. Two were re-

know now that we looked very
quaint with our long, white panta-
letteS coming nearly to our ankles.
The little boys wore short coats,
called "round-a- bouts" which oni"

wore long pants.
Miss Sue Mauldin succeeded MIR
Cleveland, and this school was made
sad by the accidental death Of John
HiX one Of her pupils, and only son
Of the widow Sallie HiX. He was
playing in gully after a heavy rain
and was drowned.
Messrs. Huff, Darlington, Abrams,
Robinson and Crttendon all taught,
respectively, after Miss Sue Mauldin.
This brings us to about 1873,
when Mr.. Penney again taught. The
advanced grammar class was COM
posed Of several girls and boys about
grown-Jane HiX, Emma Moseley,
Lizzie Dendy, Willie Hughs, Jim
Hull and John Myers. We had been
told that we might lay Smiths gram
mar on the shelf when we learned to
parse the following lines correctly,
which we did:
"When, young. life's journey began,
The glitterlng prospect charmed
my eyes;

Joy after JOY successive rise"
but soon | found twas all a dream,
And learned the fond pursuit to
shun,
Where few can reach the purposed

And thousands daily are undone."

strict, he won the sincerest respect Of
