Editor Courier: \y? arc still well and'en joying ?be linesl of autumn weather. ; We regretted to leave tho kinsfolk and friends in Oconoe as much so1 as they could lune regretted our j leaving but wc bad had a taste of thc West and naturally felt like we must try it again. Then' was one of my school leach- ? ors and some ol' my school pupils whom I did not meet while at 1 "home." This I especially regretted : as tho distance is so great I don't suppose they will ever try to visit j nie now, and 1 would have liked so much to have seen them. We "ran" away to keep from saying "good-bye" to our friends. We like traveling, and we like the West, hut we don't like "good-bye times" ono bit. We started Tuesday. October 1st, from Westminster and spent the night in Atlanta; were at Birming ham, Ala., about noon next day; passed Memphis and over the Missis sippi river the second night about i S.:tO. and woke up at Springfield, Mo., next morning to lind beautiful fields of corn and large orchards of apples, wide fields of wheat just up to a good green, and signs of frost, the first we bad seen. We reached Kansas City by noon tho second day - or rather the third, as we started on Tuesday evening late, and this was Thursday. Kansas City is a fine, large town, but built on hills looked rather funny to Texans to see such a noted city built on such a hilly site. Wc boarded the train again at 2 o'clock and reached our destination about 3.110, to lind men loading the finest Jonathan apples into cars with scoop shovels, very much like load ing cotton seed hulls in Texas. Wo had a jolly ride out to our friends' home in the brisk evening air and were ready for a gn ni square ineal Of Missouri products. We .lid jus tice to what was set before us, and i then were ready for thc music that caine later. Our fi M'in!.-. Wm. G fable, his wife mid children, all have done theil part to give us a hearty welcome io .Missouri, and we lind the people in general hospitable and glad to have us here. Crop.-, grow line.

No reason is known for this act. When Floyd Dolt heard the noise at his door he called out, asking who was there and what was wanted.

Dewey Cantrell, tho noted deaf blind boy of tho State, has boen par tially restored to sight as a result of an operation performed by Dr. Phlnizy Calhoun, or Atlanta. Of this operation, tho Palmetto Deaf, tho school's weekly paper, says in part: .-v "This operation has proved suc cessful to tho extent that Dewey is able io read manual spelling slowly at close range under good light con ditions. We have written Dr. Cal houn to know whether or not the use of his partial sight in the school room would prove beneficial or inju rious." There are two deaf-blind children at Cedar Springs this session. The Palmetto Leaf has this to say of the one just received: "Last Priday we received our sec ond deaf-blind pupil. Ruby Miller, of Union, S. C. She ls seven years old. She lost her hearing and sight something more than two years ago from an attack of spinal meningitis. One month she was a robust, normal i little girl, the next she was without her two most important senses. Sho j has retained her speech to some ex I tent, hut mutters a great deal that ! ls unintelligible. Sho ls a very at ! tractive little girl and has already become the pet of our household." i Only two changes were made in tho ! faculty this session, and two new : teachers were added. Dr. N. P.

Macadam roads and paved gravel walks are being placed all over our extensive grounds. When completed we believe we will have the most beautiful public grounds in our State." , If any render of tho Intelligencer knows of a deaf or blind child in the State who ought lo be in school. I 'advise that you communicate with [ Dr. N. P. Walker. Cedar Springs, S. ; C., giving address of father or guar dian of such child.
