say:

—Professor Palmer escorted the

—The beautiful enow put in an

ling in appearance, a heavy white

little while.
— Wood and coal haw rapidly dis-
flppered ill this locality and many
big piles, considered more than Mif

We have heard of the loss of but

have had for the past two weeks.

"There is not a single uluis house in
the Mate of Texas, nor is there any ac-
tual necessity for such an Institution.
Worthy want invariably meets with
prompt, cheerful and effectual relief. If
a<iy man is reduced to poverty, it has
bceu brought about by some unto vard
accident, or It is emphatically his own
fault. Of the occasionally cases of the
city hospital, except wtieu an epiJetuic
is raging, it is safe to say that nine out
of ten can trace their illness to over
doses of ' light ning,' aud 'ground
sweats.' We have neither poor white
men or lazy, worthless flee negroes to
provide for, and the city is but seldom
called on for charity, and then only by
strangers "
"While the census taker was collect-
ing his statbti's in bearsinout, Maine,
he found a girl, thirteen years old, who
was the mother of a child of ten
months "
The paper publishes the Thanksgiving
proclamation of Sam Houston, governor
of Texas, appointing Thursday, the 'J!i.
day ol November as a day of thanks -
giving and prayer.

valuable a man as Dr. W. K. Fowlet.

This fact seems to prove ilia', even that
could have been avoided if all parties
concerned had anted together. If the
school ought to teach any lessons, they
should be truthfulness and punctuality
iu the performance of duty. We are
trying to teach both lessons, and shall
continue to insist that parents send their
children to school on time, otherwise
the pupils will lose much valuable time
by missing the tirst lesson. Duly 7 of
the 30 tardy pupils were excusable. I
hope that parents appreciate our situa-
tion and will assist us accordingly.
The first term examinations were held
on the 18th. liitli and 20th, of January.
The examination extended from the 3rd
grade to the 11th, inclusive. The total
number of pupils in the white school
