Mr. Editor: Jolly'? Spring, situated in the banner Township of Anderson County, has never had a moro jolly crowd of picknickers quench their thirst from its health giving waters than that that gathered thorn on Satur day, tho 19th inst., to join in tho fes tivities of the day with tho teachers, patrons and children of Concord and Hunter's Spring school. Hy ll o'clock some 250 or 300 had gathered in groups around tho springs, some of tho older ones engaged in discussing ibo current ?verts of the doy, some of tho younger, ones could bo seen coupled off in pairs spends the time very pleasantly to gether, while tho smaller ones seemed to j ie with each other in having fun. Tl'ere ^v.ns nothing to mar tho plens .m es of the day, not even a candidato .-Uing present to talk to tho "denr pe spic." About 1 o'clock a coll wns made to sf read the dinner, mid the table, which, on former occasions, had groaned with its burdens of eatables, was found very insuli?oient for this occasion, aud four 2-horse wagon beds had to be brought to i$s rescue. When everything had berm arranged on tho table, Kev. W. ?.. W. Leathers was called to the front f. and very appropriately graced the j table. We have never before saw such { a bountiful dinner as was spread on |, this occasion. The ladies seemed to J haye been at their very best and there j was fully as much gathered up ns was j raten. ?fier dinner inert* was somo to!k of ! "speech making, but as none of the in ' vitcti speakers were present wo decided -?* to take tho children over to tho trestle near by and view tho up train ns it massed on its way to Walhalla. When xve returned to the springs we found two morry picnic crowds had come dur ing our absence, one from Lebanon and the other from the Hopewell section. Miss Eva Gentry, who has had charge of the school at Concord for the past session, is a graduate of the Greenville Female College, is a thoroughly quali fied and competent teacher, and to show how much her services have been appreciated the patrons of ber achool, some weeks before it expired, re-elect ed her for another term, which speaks enough for her. Misa Maud O'Neal, who has charge of the Hunters Spring Sehool, is a gradu ate of Williamston Female College, and has been teaching the school in which she learned the endowments of ber' education and has given her patrons satinfnetio?, a thing hard to do. To say the. pupils of these young ladles love them would bo expressing it rather mildly. Thus closed these two schools for this session. May the good seed these ?Aftni?o?o ItAVA =2?rt? Ka CUltiVCrtCd ' the pupils until the next session, opens. A PATRON. . . . . ?-?

Stackhouso spoke in un fl in chin g terms to a largo congregation at Sandy. Springs last Sunday. Mr. Stackhouse spooks in uncompromising tonos, and in our opinion this is tho best way to accomplish the most good. In cur humble judgment there is noth ing that confuses a pastor so much as nnattentive and restless persons in the congregation. Now, we nave a few at Sandy Springs, especially boys, who are continually going out and in dur ing the services. This is p?rissable occasionally, but when there is a con tinual leaving and. entering tuc room, I it becomes an annoying ^nuisance to | tho?? who ?uv tk r?ug io listen atten- ? tively, and we do hope that parente, not only at Sandy Springs? hut else where, will instruct their children to five eu tire attention while in church to he speaker.
