I had the great pleasure of attending the Union County Baptist Association, when it was in session at l'billippi, August 29-31. and did promise to send the editor the proceedings, but failing to do so last week, I fear it will be out of date now, so will beg to be excused. But I can say that it was pronounced by some of tho oldest mombers of it, as one of the very best of the eighteen sessions of the organization. The reports were fuller and moro interesting. They were also reported prouiply. The contributions for the various objects, missions, ophanage, etc., accordiog to the sta'cments made by the representatives of these causes, was almost double any other association to?Lfc8PJJKt.LBAW^nslifered." ^co?cera ?f the Association, rccentlv elected are: Moderator, D. N. Wilburn ; eJork, W. B. Crosby ; Treasurer, C. B. )3obo. Upou request of the miuisters, the laymen were put in office, so they, the ministers, would be more free to make remarks upon the various objects of benevolence, etc. The annual sermon was preached by licv. W. 1'. Smith, from John 21 : 11-17. The visiting brethren of note were Dr. T. M. Baily, Cor. Scc'y of the State Mission Board, I'rof. Stiles K. Mclichaiupc, of Furman University, W. W. Keys, of the JSaplist Courier and J. 11. Jefferics, of the Broad River Association. The meeting was well attended by delegates and spectators. But the last day, Thursday, it was raining a slow rain, and the cloud! were threatening, and only a few, other than delegates wers present, but the business was gotteu through with without a 1 ' hitch" or anything to mar the effects of the meeting, and nil took leave of each other after good dinner feeling all the more benefited from attending even on that unfavorable d?y. Evcryoue was entertained in the most hospitable style, and of course the association fell within its heart to offer 1 a most appropriate resolution of thanks to the church and community, setting forth their high appreciation of the manner of j entertainment. 1 enjoyed attending this meeting, equally as mscli as I did the Spartaiihurir Countv Association, which mot nl Philadelphia church on the 22nd of August an account of which 1 sent the Times, bui unfortunntc'y or fortunately was crowded out. A series of meetings, beginning last Sun 1 day the Brd, nt'Salem Baptist church, closet | Friday. Rev. W. P. Smith, of Spartanburg assisted the pastor, Bev. J. II. Ynrborough There were no assessions to the church, hu x the church was revived. The attendance was good nt night, but the congregation: were small in the dny, mostly christians at tending. Credit can be extended to some o the business houses of the little town foi closing their doors every day during tlx hours of service to attend them. The clos ing scene on Friday was very touching. / somewhat larger audience than usual wa present, and after the seruion, Hev Mr Smith made a calm, but impressive talk ti the church memhers, giving much good ad vice, and then tho pastor requested nl ' christians who felt that they had been helpc< and strengthened, and revived by Mr Smith's preaching and earnest efforts, t give him their right hand, and every churcl s member in the house, both Baptist am Methodist, except two or throe, went u . and receive I a warm hand pressure. It wa unmistakably seen that Mr. Smith quit endeared himself to the people generally \ and sadness was seen depicted in the oour tenancc of a large number when they bad him good-bye. ^ Hev. J. 11.

A choice of sides to continne for a month or term, has been found to stimulate the effort.-) of some pupils. When a class becomes indifferent or oonsists of many poor spellers, let t wo of the best spellers choose sides, tho side which misspells the fewest words iu the month to have some privilege or mark of honor. If carried on in the right way, quite an interest will be manifested, the bitter spellers spelling the poorer spellers out of school hours, and the ! poor spellers making grater efforts. Occasionally the "icord yomt' may be proposeJ, in which words are made up from 1 the letters of a given word. For example, from the word strangr the pupils may be word'. * After iTwyTmvcTdohft WT?, "irroy mny take up the letter t and so on with each letter of the word, when it will be found that ' quite a list of words has been formed from one little word. This is excellent amusement for children, besides it will giro them great power to concentrate their ideas and using them profitably. Let the teachers try this and repoi't iu three months what success they have had. Writing. The art of writing legibly should be acquired us early in the school life of the child as possible, first, because it is a direct assistance to the other work of the school, and secondly, on account of the shortness of time during which many children attend Legibility first and rapidity afterwards, are the ends to be reached in writing, and they arc reached only by constant practice, either in imitating good models or in following rules which have been taught. The first copies for imitation may be the words and sentences which have been taught and placed before them upon the board in the reading exercise. The earlier efforts of the children in writing will bo very crude, and it may take mauy trials before any appreciable progress is made ; but with the help of the teacher in making the copy upon the slate (or blackboard) and in guidiog the hands of the children, it will be found that words like man, on and can will soon be made ' so as to be easily recognised. It will be well to encourago the children at first by giving for copios words which they can write best leaving the more difficult words until they have a good command of the ^aqd. The copies upon the blackboard and slate should , be made in the presence of the children, i that they may know how the lcttors are formed. In order to have the form of the ' letters clear and distinct, the copies should L be written at first in a large hand, and the , writing of the children should also be large 1 as indicated by a v. " le ruling. ' After the first year the children may be able to write without a copy, and yet the 1 work of imitation must go ou until all of . the letters are accurately formed. Much ^ depends upon the teacher's ability to write , well before his pupils. While it is true that } a poor writer tuay, by substituting copies of - others, lead his pupils to write well, it ^ should be understood that a teacher who can r ? present the proper form for imitation has a - great advantage over one who cannot write i well or who has to write his copies out of * sight of the children.

"Sou"?as he was affectionately hob by us all?gave his heart to Jesus and fljHR "buried with him in baptism" about a yeaW^HH ago and became a consistent and promisingvEES member of l'hilippi church. Kuowtug his jBHH splendid qualities of head and heart, we allHHH loved him, ilud had only good to predict of^HaN him. Our brother was young, but not tuo|V^H of liis piety upon those who knew him. His character and christian light shone^^HB most brightly in his tender love for mother and father, brother and sisters. As a s >n and brother lie was devoted and affeotiouate; as a friend, true and kind. It is hard to give up one so full of promise, but when we remember that he was a faithful christian, we know that pain and strife is ended ami lie is now with Jesus to wear a crown of life forever. So we bid thee farewell, "Sou " and hope to meet ihue in the "sweet bye aud bye."
