After a Successful Session of Five ZMontlis the Public Term Closes Next Tuesday When It Will be Kun as a Private School. Miss Jay. the Teacher, Complimented?Preparinjr for the Joint DebateMiss Jessie Dusenbury spent Sunday in Conway. Miss Maude Long was here this week visiting friends and relatives Misses Lucile Jay and Grace tlas dton spent a few days in Conway last week the quests of Mrs H. H Woodward. The public school here, which has oeen ruunin^ for the past live months under the successful management of Miss Lucile Jay will close next Tuesday. Miss jay is one of the most ellicieut teachers' in South Carolina and the trustees here were very fortunate in securing her services. Mr Harper is making an elTort to continue the school with private subscription. We understand that some of the citizens of Marion county are making a stronir elTort to unioad Woodbury township on Horry county in order to reduce their area too small for the people in upper Marion to establish Dillon county. We appreciate the position of our friends around Marion court house in trying to hold such rich territory, but the voters here, on general principles, will light the scheme to the bitter end. 1 There will be a joint debate at the Burroughs High School school building on Friday night, March 12tb, between the Calhoun Litorarj I society and the Toddville Literary Society. Should the Toddville So. ciety ;be successful, and we hear > a great many predict success, it will be duo largely to the untiring elTorts of Miss LucileJjay in training I her pupils for the conflict. The i Toddville society has been taught . not to gloat over victory nor solk if .T??sif? Hiiftttnhnrv FVanU Green and Harry Rheuari: will [ represent the Toddville society. We . do not know who all the judges . will be, but Hon Jure Smith will . be one and his reputation for hon j esty and fairness is too well known j to need comment. Forecast.

Iti Lovliijr Memory. (Raleigh Christian Advocate) The angel of death, on December 14,11)08, having entered our midst and claimed for its own our dearly beloved friend, Lillian Morse; therefore, we tho members of Clarendon M. B. Sunday-school, beg to submit the following resolutions: Resolved 1. That in this dispensation of Divine Providence, tho Sunday-school detply feels the loss of her bright face and faithful atendancc. 2. That Lillian's life was one that would b3 well for all to emulate since wo are assured that to her, "death was only a dream." 3. That we extend to the oereaved father and mother our deepest sympathy, and while we lament her untimely death, how soothing it is to our wounded hearts to know that when death claimed her she was ready and willing to obey the summons; and now in the gloryland she basks in the sunlight of God's love, waiting the coming of the resurrection morn. Father and mother, weep not, but look up through your tears with an eye of faith and behold your loved one on the bosom of Ilirn who said, l Be thou faithful unto death and J will give thee a crown of life," Trusting that the sorrowful ones will derive comfort from the thought that their loss is her eternal gain; J A I A ^ ^ I ! - 1 4.

Dear Lillian, though you havt gone forever from our midst, yot will not be forgotten; and youi beautiful heaven is nearer and more real since you are there i 4.
