One night heiween Montgomery c'
and New Orleans Col Irhy was unahle
to obtain a sleeping car berth cl
and dropped into slumber reclin

Later he awoke to tir.d that his
gold watch and overcoat had taken 1*

the earth. The colonel reported c|
the loss to the conductor and on
h:s return to Laurens last Saturday.
he received a telegram stat

railroad authorities Col Irhy went

School Closing.
E
Tho school of Mrs .lennie
nrk Hughes closed at the Bruce
hool house the Oth in*t, under ?
ry auspicious circumstances,
le morning hmked quite threating,
hut in the afternoon it clear
I up and the evening closed ^1
autifullv. Between the setting ^
the sun and dark, ti e people ()^
(gan to gather in at the school .v<
>use and in a short time the jp(
use was crowded, preparatory jj1
the exercises of tho entertain- 1?'
cut. The crowd on hand could i
>t lie accommodated in the school. I d;
was suggested to Mrs Hughes i tr
at the stage he placed in thn h
Kir so tlmt ull (if the visitors j li
kidKI he uceotnodat lid. '"lie ro> |T
lost ?was complied with. Mrs Is
u^lios arranged her pupil* in j y
10 proper order and the openi g jo
zeroises commenced C L Dun~ | is
m arose in liehalf of Mrs Hughes 1 h
id stated the nature of the oc- |
i?ion and extended a heartv wel 0
line to the entire audience. He H
ated that it was not designed on S
le part of the teacher to make ti
10 occasion very elaborate, it a
as designed principally for the v\
enetit of the pairon* and chiI p
ren of the school. With these a
?w remarks he turned the fur- p
ler exercises over to the teacher. C!
.t the tap of the hell one of the tl
i Is mounted the stage and re p
ted the piece committed to her f,
large in u manner thut was banning
to the occasion. At the ?
use of her recitation we had (>,
iiisic uud ut the tap of the hell ^
tie after another recited their ^
ieccs with music at the close of
ieh recitation. Kverv one of
lern received h**rtv cheers at the (j
ose of their pieces.
After the recitation of the dif- (j
irent pieces came to a close C L f.
pnean complimented the childn n
ir the faithful performance of
uty on their parts. And lie
ated to them that they had been
ained by u teacher who was
illv prepared to lit and <pialify
lem for any emergenex. He ;
lid that Jt was argued on the part
f some people that any person
mid teach a school, liut he deied
the a-.-ertion, and said that
took a man or woman of eul- 1
ire to teach a school as it should
ft taught. Ho said thut the ele
lentary principles should he
night correctly. To illustrate j I
?ove he stated that if you under |
iko 10 erect an edifice ycm should
nild it. on a firm foundation, if
:>t it would soon come to nai ght.
I In again impressed on the
inds of the trustees and patrons
in necessity of procuring the
uvices of the best teachers.
The mimic was furnished hy u
uid of amateur musicians. At
le close C L Duncan returned
* thanks to them in hehalf of
Irs Hughes and he also presented
leru with a beautiful cake in be
ilf of Mrs Hughes and lady
iends. In conclusion I would f
,y that we hud good order e
iroughout the progress of the
