a PLEASANT TRIP.

Yho Sentinel editor enjoyed trip
with superintendent Of Education
Clayton the first day of August dur
ing which we visited the schools at
OolenOy, Rock AID Pleasant Grove.
1T would not be anss at the outset
to say that Prof. Clayton is a most
pleasant companion on trip, as any
one who has been with him can
doubtless testify.
The first stop was at Ooleuoy
school house for the opening day of
the session. They have a splendid
school house here Of which we have
told our readers before About 1875
pupils and many Of the parents we're
present for the opening exercises of
the school and one could not help but
be impressed with the bright, clean
and intelligent countenanccs Of these
boys and girls and from their mum.
Der are bound to come leaders of
people. Prof. A. B. Fortncr, princi-
pal, and his assistants certainly have
fine material to work with. Short
talks were made by several of the
visitors, but as we had to leav. be-
fore the exercises were over we did
not obtain as much information to
write about as we desired It was
9 nleqsure to us at Oolcnoy to again
meet our friend, Hon. Mathew Hen
bricks, the grand old man Of DOLE
noy. He was at theL school house
and though his eyesight is gone, in
his heart and nind'sldye he can see
the growth Of the good work he be-
gan and in which he still takes
great interest. May God spare this
useful mans life for many more
years. mn
Superintendent Clayton made a
forceful talk at Rock school house to
the patrons Of Rock and New Town
districts, discussing the proposed con-
solidation Of these two districts and
the building Of new school house.
A large number Of The patrons were
prcsent showing the interest they
are taking in the matter. A vote

will be taken to decide the question
on August 27. Prof. Willie Chas-
tain is the efficient teacher of Rock
school.
After the Rock meeting was over
Mr.. Ed Chastain asked US to 80 with
him to his home for dinner. We
were a little nrcssed for time and
Mr.. Clayton asked ye editor what
about it. TO which ye editor re-
pied that he never refused an invi-
tation to eat with Chas.ain. We
SAID this because at the home of a
member of this family one not only
hnds plenty to eat but real and
nearly welcome. The Chasta;n fam
~ Of Pickens county are of the salt
Of the earth. Needless to say that
Doth Of US enjoyed our visit to Mr..
Chastain's. 1t was the first time we
had met his wife and we found her
most pleasant lady indeed.
Next Mr.. Clayton had business at
Pleasant Grove school house, where

There was much more in this
pleasant trip than we could write
about, including the fine corn in the
Oolcnoy bottoms, this beautiful sec

the good people in those sections, but
space will not permit it here We
hope at a later date to write more
OF this section. We must mention.

VOTE FOR CSHOOL IMPROVE
MENTS.

The voters Of Bethlehem school dis
trict decided last Saturday in favor
of adding six more mills tax in their
district for school purposes. This
makes eight mills special school tax
in Bethlehem and guarantees the
district seven months term. Hamp
ton school district voted Saturday in
favor Of issuing $500 worth Of bonds
for the purpose Of building a new
school house, and work has already
begun on the new building which will
consist Of two rooms. Mayor C. L.
Cureton, of Pickens, gave the school
four acres Of land on which to nut
their new building and use for play
grounds.
The Sentinel congratulatcs these
TWO districts upon their progressive
steps.
