The Time to Praise
Dr. Johnson expressed his true J
gratitude toward Warhurtou, say.

when praise was of value to me."
U is important that our praise he
timely. Generapy we wait till the
man is dead before we praise him
and then our praise can do him no
good. Tho Irishman well said:
"This is a sad world. We never
put flowers on a man's grave till
after he is dead."?Western Re

County Teaohors* Association
The meeting on Saturday last
was well attended. The study of
Physeiology in the public schools
was discussed. Kverv teacher was
advised to introduce this branch
into his course of study. The ne
cessity of having suitable school
grounds was next taken up. The
deplorable fact was developed that,
in inanv country schools, there are
no play-grounds, cotton being
planted up to the very schoolhouse.
The County Superintendent prom
ises to try, with the aid of the]
teayheie, lo arouse a better public
sentiment in this important mat
ter; and the Importance of a prop
er observance of Arbor Day was
impressed upon all.
Upon tool ion, it whs agreed to]
have the remaining meetings <>fj
this year on the second Saturday of
each month, at 12 o'clock.

beautiful weather we are having!
Just what th" farmers need! Tluii
work is now progressing very fast,
and ere long corn planting will be
the order <?f the day. Oals are
locking very well, but wheat seems
in be almost a failure with some,
Guano-hauling is still in progress.
The farmers in general seem to be
using about twice the (juantiiy they
did last year.
The health of 'he community is
very good at present, but General
LaGrippe seems to have been a vis
itor in almost every home.
Rev. T. G. Phillips failed to fill
hiu appointment at Bethany on
Feb. 21th, owing to the iuclemenov
of the weather. The fence for the
cemetery of the above named
church, which we have spoHen of
before, is now nearly completed. It.
i? (?f beautiful cemetery wire, and
adds a groat deal to tho looks ot
the church grounds.
Prof. W. V Baskin, our county
superintendent of education paid a
very pleasant visit to the Ml. Clio
school on Monday last. Prof. Ba*
kin seems to be very much interest
ed in his work, and his pleasant,
manner, and this kindly interest,
always makes him a most welcome
visitor In our schools. We think
that Sumter and Kershaw counties
are to ho congratulated upon the
ohoioe they made for Superiuten
dents of Education.
The public schools in this section
will probably run a little longer
than the usual term <>* months,
this year.
