On next. Saturday tho County, [ Hoard of Education will hoar a I question of color which has arisen in regard to some children who at -1 tempted to attend the Pour Mile Public School on Dog HluiT Public Road seme miles from Conway. Mr Lane, one of tho public school teachers of the County, was teaching school there last August when Caroline Blackmail sent her two children to him. Some people in that section claimed that Caroline Black mam, who it seems is otherwise known as [Caroline Huberts, has some portion | of colored blood in her veins, Tho matter was at oueecallen to the attention of the Trustees, Messrs S .1 Lewis, J C Kin# and J .1 'Jones, and tney at once excluded tho children from the school. Since that time Caroline Hlackman employed an Attorney and has brought up the matter before the County Hoard of Education. They will have a hearing before the Hoard next Saturday, and it seems that if the decision of the Hoard is adverse to tho woman, she will appeal the question to the State Hoard. These questions of color are generally interesting, especially when they concern a (juestion of society like this. The I>oople will doubtless watch the hearing with interest. One of the Trustees was in town laft Saturday and he said that the people would employ an Attorney to rejjresent the Trustees in the matter. .lordanvillu.

At about 4:d0 p. in., eight handsomely dressed couples, friends ami relatives of the would be man and wife, preceded them to the reception hall where they were made husband and wife. Now, a short duration of quietness and ihe dining room being near we could hear the tingling echoes of the earthenware sending as though there were yet some unfinished business; and at. or about five o'clock, we wore invited into the dining room where we found a feast of the roast foods, baked turkey, chicken, as well asquantitiesof other things. This was a wedding feast of which many were invited and many came. I would suppose more than fifty partook of this supper and as many more could have been served with plenty to spare. B & L "Woodman. Sparc Tliat Tree. The Herald is informed that several shade trees in town have been cut down in order to make room for some of the poles and wires being orocted for Conway Light and Lower Company. In one place wo arc informed that the tops of (piite a number of trees will bo badly mutilated for the same reason. At the last named place it. appears that there will be plenty of room in the middle of t he street for the erection of these polos, and we think that the town authorities should see that all the trees in all the streets are preserved, although it might become little expense to erect poles and wires so as to avoid them. There is no calculating the value of a shade tree, especially on a public street near the residences of the people. The destruction of any of these trees should be avoided no matter at what expense. / ?? ? ? Calhoun Literary Society. John TIardwick, Reporter.

The health of the community is generally good at this writing. Mr Editor, it has been sometime since the stock law appeared in the paper. In reply to Mr Cor in the last issue it appears to rne that some people want to shove the stock law , on the people of the county anyway. If the people could vote on it again , Cor would see that it would go just . like it did before. Do you think |fCod intended for people to murder ,] up their stock in such away as that. .
