He Examination and ?ixii?iw m Hie Parks ville H'gh School. BLESSES. ED?TOES : The morning c B twenty-fourth pf July found ii BttiG beautiful little town of Parks Ble, enjoying the company of it Basant, worthy and gener; us eiti Bis. About eight o'clock the cb ure! Bli tolled in i ts lofty tower, the sounc ? which echoed in the distance i Bneral welcome. After this then Bthered a large audience to witnesi Be exercises, &c, of the day. Abou Blf-past nine o'clock the audienci Bas fully assembled, and Mr. Jno B. Bu8sey, one of Edgefield's worth Hst sons, delivered the introductory Bldress, which gave inestimable /esl B the occasion, and did great credil B> himself. Soon after this, Mrs. C B. Cox, the principal of the school, Began the examination by black Board exercises, in which Mr. J. M (jii?sey and Mr. James T. Parks, an ther highly talented, worthy, and de erviug boy, who is by no means canting in intellectual power, an wered and explained the questions. And we do not hesitate to assert that there is not a school in the county or State, conducted raoie systematically and successfully than that of Parks ville. The patrons are surprised at the rapid strides of their children in the way of learning. B^yp, who twelve months ago were not quite sure of their grammar, will no doubt soon be able to measure arms at the legal bar. It seem3 to be a matter of 'i'lotion all over the State as to why Edge field can claim so great a number o' honored men. The answer ia this : JJer sons are fortunately possessed cf a goodly share of mothar wit and common sense; and their wide-awake parents spare no means in cultivating their talents. Consequently (.hey claim only the honor that justly be longs to them. At half past twelve, the examina tion exercises closed with a rpeach by James T. Paiks, on Physical Geography, which wassecond to none we ever heard. The audience were then cordially iavited to the grove, io which was a long table, bountiful ly furnished fi om the.richly filled bas "TtelS.that the gam\ ladreV-had so thoug1i?tfn-Uy^"prepared. The feast Wits grandly supplemented, too, from a barbecue pit near by. After all had partaken to their thorough satis faction, we returned fco the church, and soon vre were again pleasantly entertained by an address from the Hon. W. J. Talbert on Education. And we must confess that it has rare ly been cur good fortune to lis listen to an address of so much rich uess and worth. This subject was well argued P.nd proved to be thc greatest means of civilization, sue j cess, &c. The audience were nov/ dismissed till early candle light, the j interval being taken up by the con- ! sumption of some fine melons and re- ? freshing lemonade. At the announced ti the audience reassembled, and . introductory address o' the ex ! .ibition was delivered by John M. j Bussey, whose clarion like voice is I still ringing ia our imagination. The stage was beautifully lighted up and | presented quite a grand scene of lit ? tie boys and girls in theirgolden dec j orated costumes. The first perform ' ance on the stage was singing, by Miss Lela Cartledge, Miss Georgie j Morgan, and Miss Mamie Cox, tc gather with Miases Eva Morgan, Sd- j lie Bussey, Emmie Cox, Sallie Molli trie, Hattie Bussey, and Mamie and ! Anna Reynolds. Subsequently came short speedie?, tableaux, &c,. by dil-' Jere nt pupils. Great merriment was also elicited by the representation j 'and acting of Cully in disguise. I ' Thus the time wae occupied tiH j I eitven P. H. All feel deeply indebt- I ed to Afrs. Cox, principal of the j ?'(..hool, lor tho time, Ubor and exer cises of the occasion. But, Oh! what slid follow}?. On: the morning -.A er, the purling band was extended to ii?, and wirb almost tear-blinded eyes we bade Mrs. Cox a soLmn adieu.
