After the above was very creditably rendered the boys and girls oi the school, were very interestingly entertained by the addresses of Lt.-Gov. E. B. Gary and Rev. W. W. Daniel. Mr. Gary's subject wns that of Government, and his speech whs deep, clear ano full of logic and food for thought. Mr. Daniel discussed Christian Education in his accustomed easy, clear and flowing style. We would be glad to give a synopsis of these excellent speeches for publication, but mu?t refrain from doing so because of inability to do them Justice. They were both very highly complimented. At 12.80 p. m., a recess was taken for refreshments during which time a beautiful dinner was spread by the good ladles and all partook of a sumptuous feast seldom enjoyed by any people. At 2 o'clock the crowd reassembled In front of thestand and witnessed the awarding of the following prizes: A Silver Medal to T i aster Clifton Robinson, for the highest average during the school or nine months, 98 1-12. A Gold Ring, to Miss Blanch Culbertson, second highest, 98 2-5. A Bible to Miss Lldle Jones, third highest, 981-12. These prizes were delivered In quite appropriate and pleasant words by Rev.

PERSONAL MENTION. Several of our people attended the plcnio at Princeton, iast Friday and reports very pleasant trip. Our section was represented at the commencement exercises of the Honea Path High school on Thursday night and Friday niuht. and at Donalds Wednesday night. Mr. Hill McGee has a very sick child at this writing. Plowing and hoeing cotton and fishing at Ware's shoals Is the order of the day. Mr. John Alg.iry, a successlul farmer of this section, is said to have a very fine crop. Since the close of our school and the departure of the boarders our little place is I somewhat lonely and dull. Pompey. Ninety-Six Nnt* Ninety-Six, May 2!)th, 1896.

Plenty of chickens, but most of them rather small for market. We have bad flae rains and everybody looks fresh and contented. Capt. James Rodgers has the finest Jersey cow we have seen. Mr. John Partiow of Kerkseys. Edgefield county, was in town last Friday. He says he has the smartest baby in Edgefield. It is six months old and has a perfect set of teeth. It is said that Jdnes will pay the freight. As some of our readers are puzzled about the difference between Noes and Nose, you had better call roe Nut. W. Joel Smith ??
