Not very good and not very nau. Eagerard restless and wideawake? What sort of a man will Horace make? Will the black eyes always as honest he, And ihe clear bright face so fair to see. And the Innocent heart that beats within, Be always free from guile and sin ? Ah me!

During the term Just past only five asslt ants have been employed, as follows : Primary Department, 4 grades?Miss Mai McGee.of Greenwood, and Miss Nellie Screv ol Alabama.

The public examinations which closed lai Tutsduy evening were well attended by pa rons and visitors who were delighted with tt general Improvement of the pupils in the se' era I departments. It Is likely that the ab services of Prof. Wilson and hie compete! assistants will be secured another year. When we arrived at the ball of the Grade school last Wednesday morning at ]l.i o'clock, the house was well filled with pupi and visitors. A number of prominent citizens were con fortahly seated on the rostrum, among whoi we noticed Mr. T. F. Riley, the public spirite Mayor of the city of Greenwood, Prof. J.

Prof. Wilson then announced that^-Comj Lrollei-General J. 8. Verner, of Columblt would deliver the address of the day and sal that Mr. Verner was too well known to th iltizens of Greenwood to need any lntrodu< Lion. Below we give a synopsis of General Vei aer's address: Ladles and Gentlemen Flftv years ago 1 would have taken six weeks to nave made th :rlp I have made since last Friday.

We should be met ind women In the highest sense, There Is but little morality In polltlcf _) ver 100 years ogo two classes contended fo .he mastery in south Carolina?tbe Engllsl ind the Scotch. From 1776 to 186S our citizen 'elt that It was their duty to serve their couc try without considering so much tbeamoun juid for their services, A different prlnclpl iltogether has since then been establlshei ind that Is no map must do a thing forth government unless he Is paid for it The whole object now of politicians Is t make money out of the government.

A Mr Smith purchased a lotter ticket for himself and his triend, putting hot tickets together in tlie same drawer. It ha| pened that one of the tlcketa drew a prize c 3100,000.

His reply was, "Because marked tbe ticket I bad purchased for yo whep t put them Into the drawer." A celebrated lawyer, Air. Petlgru, defence an Important railroad case and won It.

Jt Is a lop- order of man wb looks altogether to bis own welfare. Tc much attention is directed simply to brea< winning without regard to the lmprovemer of tbe morals. The Idea with many Is to Jui simply eat, drink and be merry. The worl needs civilizing. I am greatly in favor of d iiomlnatloual colleges because of the religloi influences they exert on the youth oi U: country. Mr. Verner before closing his address to! two beuutlful stories to the children.

The world's standard is, 1 that nothing succeeds, like success. * He whose condition in life is not influential, need not expect the friendship and help of any but the noble and the e good. * Charity does uot require of us that t we should uot see the faults of others, * but that wo ahould avoid all needless and voluntary obseivance of them, e and thut we should not be blind to their good qualities when we are so sharp-sighted to their bad ones. ? Those who rebuke should do so with ' all lone suffering, in meekness and b love. They should be careful whom lt and when they rebuke. They may, if not exceedingly careful, grieve the Spirit of God. They may be touching o the apple of God's eye. )1 I, ?Unless I give my heart wholly to y God, and make my religion my great ! n *1/1 Sn<? s> ? > f ollU I I Kfl O ll> 11V4 LUlJUfUi, X OllMU ^V> t* ?- stranger not ouly to duty, but to all solid peace and enjoyment.
