JOBNSoNVILLE GRADED SCHOOL.

JODQSOutllie, mdy %. AaS WV
ing exercises of the Johnsonvllle
Graded school were held here Thurs
day and Friday evenings of this
week.
On Thursday evening very inter-
esting and amusing play was pre-
sented by the pupils of the higher
grades to a large and appreciatlve
audience.
On Friday evening another inter-
esting programme was delightfully."-
rendered to a large crowd, after
which the literary address was made
by ex-Lieut-Gov I G Mcleod OF
Bishopville. Mr. Mcleod said were
he asked to suggest a symbol OF
education, it should be an interroga-
ton point, and if he were asked to
inscribe theron motto, it should be
the one word, "Why?" In his
enlargement of this theme ne said
that all education is the direct result
of intelligent questioning, and was
particularly happy in his remarks
throughout the discourse. He de-
lighted his audience, and Mr. Mcleod
will always find at Johnsonville a
glad welcome.
After his address Mr. Mcleod was
called on to deliver a certificate in
music to Miss Rowena Adell Eaddy;
a medal in music, Miss Birdie Eaddy
for the greatest progress in music
during the session; and prizes in
spelling for the highest averages in
the 5th, 9th and 7th grades as fol-
lows: Eva Tanner, Albert May Fad
dy, and Ella Russell Poston, respec-
lively.
MIR Mcleod was particularly
pleasing in his remarks to the win
ners of these certificates and prizes.
There were no graduates from
the high school this year on account
Of the school having put in the
eleventh grade.
Johnsonville having recently voted
to issue SIS, 100000 in bonds for the
erection of a modern school building,
the architects are now engaged on
plans and specifications and we hope
to have the building ready for the
next session of school.
For the session of 1856 the fol-
lowing teachers have been re-elect-
ed: Misses Elise Rollins, Myrtle
Poston, Henree Newell and Gertrude
Culberson. The principal and masic
teacher not yet elected.
At a recent meeting of the build
ing committee and members of the
Methodist church it was decided to
commence at once the erection of a
modern and commodiouS church
building which will be a credit to
Methodism here.
Mr. Walton Mcleod of Lynchburg
and Mr. - Singletary of Bishop
vile were here Friday evening to at
tend the school exercises.
There is a movement on foot
which we are informed will soon be
put into execution to build a new
! block of brick stores on Broadway
street. This will fill a long-felt
want here, as there has been con-
tinued cry for store buildings which
so far have not been furnished to
emeet the demand.
Mr. Jackson Huggins, who recently
moved here with his family from
Hemingway, has moved into his
new modern home and is now erect
ing a large market building on
Broadway, which he will occupy
with his general market business
Immediately on completion.
Two new mercantile firms have
recently opened up business here,
and others are only awaiting the
completion of store buildings. Watch

they said unto Him: Behold, thy

f. How he entered into the house Of
God and did eat the shewbread
which was not lawful for him to
eat, neither for them that were
