After the intense heat of the past week it was only reasonable to suppose that when a rain did come that it would be accompanied by a heavy storm, and so many severe storms have occurred recently in North Carolina and other States. The rain will do an amount of good, as everything was sufl'ering from the drought and the heat and vegetables bad stopped bearing.

The I fflrmlfr nf ihe seliool bas been chosen and the most prominent professors and teachers of the Sta(e have been selected, Prof. R. Means Davis being one of them. Prof. Davis will teach political science. The following in regard to county schools we clip from Tie state: After the close of this State school, schools for teachers will be held in each county. Fall announcement concerning these will be made sooa. These schools will continue in session for four weeks, and will give instruction in the subjects that now constitute the substance of the common school coarse. English, arithmetic and geography. In a rapid review, the students will be taught as they ought to teach, and while learning intelligently that before the principles and ground work of these branches of study, will incidentally and naturally learn the best mathod3 of teaching. But emphasis will be plaeed on matter rather tban method. The work done by these county schools this year will be supplemented next year, it is hoped, by courses in ' J i JJ I nistory, pnysioiogy, urawiug auuuiuci subjects taught in our schools in which many of oar teachers are deficient. All teachers who are not prepared to do college work rapidly and so*ces3fully are aduised to attend the county schools rather thad the State school. Any one interested may procure a copy of the onnouncement by writing to the State Superintendent, to President D. B. Johnson, or to any county or city superintendent.

She leaves seven children and many relatives and fr?p?ids to mourn her la ment?d ?l1j> The funeral service was conducted by Revs. McLaucbiin and Kirkpatrick. In her death Chester has lost a devout, lovely, Christian character, one who always loaned a ready and sustaining hand .wherever duty called. It was her delight in a Christian way to i soothe the coach of the sick ana cheer the drooping spirits of the disconsolate. She never entered a task without ins voking God's blessing and help; after i the task was completed the same rigid remembrance of Divine power was , observed. Since she lived such a s noble life, she died a glorious death. . The community in which she bad lived added its tribute to her memory i and thanked God that "there was so i much to mitigate the bitterness of I he sorrows in the hope of reunion in heaven.", ? When the body was brought here . fur^bnrial, every place of business in i town was closed and the whole community united in paying honor to a . true foldier of the Cross. ; "Strew flowers fin her ceflla'd bas t, [ Her noble heart '-i now at rest; We will n;>t monrn her eariy grave.
