Goad Kcusous why \Vittii?!>oro Shoultl Have It?-A I'lcu for Suited Action uf Town and Country. Messrs. Editor::: I have noted with pleasure and interest your brief references, from time to time, to the In I dustrial Female School. i uniigmc roil will take it not unkindly, for 011c who sympathizes with your laudable design to arouse the public to an effort to secure the establishment ot such an important Educational institution at AVinnsboro. to give expression to such feeling in your paper. With this in view, and in no wise presuming to be able to add anything to the pithy and forcible reasons urged by you, I ask the indulgence of a small space in your columns. "Winnsboro enjoys an enviable reputation as an educational ccntre. The culture and refinement of her people prove this refutation has a genuine XUlixiuaiifii. axiv i (for many years) of schools almost encourages one to claim there must be some element in her environments favorable to educational advancement. Her location centrally in the State and her exceptional healthfulnoss arc too well known to need more than the bare mention of them. But a mere citation of advantages will not prove j l sufficient to secure the establishment | of that important .schoel here. Pccuiary a;:d other inducements must be offered to effect this. In addition tu a desirable building site, how much money will the people of Winnsboro give? In considering this question ii is important to reflect that the sum given would be large i:ul(cd that the successful establishment of this school here would fail to reward with a handsome intcrckt. As a simple investment of money the venture is manifestly advisable. Would not the good people of the county agree to a small tax for one year to secure the establishment of this important school in our midst? It is safe to say they would never have cause to regret it. The accessibility and advantages of an industrial school to our daughters arc no despicable things. If we all act together with a I zeal commensurate with the prize to j be won, we may win. Why not try?

It seems that the towns arc the only places that are looking brightly to the future, us they are going into new financial enterprises by way of savings! and loan association. The question] arises as to where the money is coming! from to make up this capital. It is not' in the country as a surplus, and if we ; have the drawback of a bad crop there will be none next fall. Hut we should! be encouraged by the thought that there will be money to loan if we can j only succeed In getting it. So push the j good work, we will furnish the bor rowers if you will iurmsn inc money. What has become of our railroad? "We are getting' anxious to hear of work j beginning at least. We are wanting one of them through this neighbor-j hood, and have a place selected for a depot. We have one store and a postoffice to start with, and if we can induce our neighboring merchants to j move their stores, then we can start j with a small town. If the railroad: authorities arc looking to a cheap road bed, free fron trestles and heavy cuts j and embankments and running through the best section of the county, the. ridge leading from Ilockton tic Horeb and across Little River, where it could I intersect with the G. & C. li.

After a rain of 14 t hours duration it is again clear, and so i cool that we may reasonably hope for < a continuation of good weather. ? Oh!

Josapli E. Johnston has crossed the river of death. So few of our dear Confederate officers are left. The intrepid Beaureguard is the only full General who survives. Geu'l. Johnston was trammelled by opposition at the head of the Confederate Government, yet he was a true hero and his name will ?0 down to posterity as such. Just :i few weeks ago he* officiated as pallbearer at Sherman's funeral aud if there was any bitterness in his hear;, his deportment gave 110 sign of it.

President Harrison knew nothing of the magnanimity which ever actuated our beloved Johnston, and could not refrain from depriving: him of the situation which Cleveland gave him. Dr. Shaw, of Sumter, paid Dr. Provence a short visit a day or so since. The advent of such an "intelligent, genial gentleman quite :t pleasant break in the monotonous life we lead. Dr. Shaw created a favorable impression, and we will long remember his smiling face and cheer ful voice. There will be many occasions, 110 doubt, when such remembrance will afford us great pleasure. Miss Minnie Blair has been quite >ick with malarial fever, but like the ^euerality of Dr. Provence's patients, ?he is improving rapidly.
