Closing of Farmers* lllgli Svhool.
This noble institution, whioh has flourished
for eight years under the wise and practical in
structions of our beloved teacher came jto u
oloso yesterday. Prof. L. Joues has had a reg
ular attendance oi sixty students. It is his cus
tom, at the end ol each year, to have a writiug
school of two weeks. To say that he is a mas
ter teaQhev in this business, would udd nothing
to his fame as an experienced instructor, be
cause every young lady uud gentleman who
have followed his scientific aud.practioal iustruc
lions, verily this to be an uuduniublc fuot.
The patrons and friends were invited to at
tend yesterday. Mauy came, and after a
thorough and critical examination all were ol
the uuauimous opinion that the students had
proved greatly in peumanship. Then cumo
two original speeches, cue by A. H. Kirby and
the otljer by D. J. Gaffuey. Tho former’s sub
ject was, “Justice may sleep but never dies.”
The latter’s, “Our Country.” They baudled their
peeohes with honor-to themselves, and receiv
ed the admiration and esteem of all.
Tho “Nestoriuu Society,” which is connected
with the school, assembled promptly at live
o'clock. Tho committee, consisting of S. H.
Duusou, J. C. G. Carter and M. Edwards was
escorted to chair. The subject for public dis
cussion reud us follows: “Is it ever right to
marry for money ?” The debate opened upon
the affirmative by A. H. K.rby, who plainly
proved that he had not been idle, but hud given
the subject much thought. He was followed by
J. A. .Bretts, who was his equal us au orator on
that occasion. Then ? speaker alter speaker
followed each other to the delight, the enter
tainment and instruction of all. The greatest
genius of any ago would have listened with pro
found astonishment aud admiration, as the
Nestors’ silvery voices painted the truths in
such grand aud glorious colors. Thoy fought
like Greeks of old, till even the combined au
dience was perfectly electrified with amazement;
und after a heated and lively debate the decis
ion of two against one wus rendered iu iuvor of
the negative.
At eight o’clock the levee and social party
commenced. It was a complete success, be
cause everyone enjoyed themselves so agreea
bly aud so sociably. Even widowers and widows
were much smitten with each other, aud spent
their time very gayly aud merrily. The poets
of old would have been ashamed of their fine
productions, hud they heard the true sentimeuts
ol love proolaimed on that long remembered oc
casion. Just as the chickens were crowing for
midnight, we were pruparing to go home. So
ended the closing exercises of F. H. S., whioh
will be long remembered. Atticus.

From a citizen of Greenville who called on ns
yesterday, we gain the following information:
At the nominating convention held iu Green
ville last Tuesday, Mr. Frank J. Williams was
nominated lor the Legislature on the eighteenth
ballot; and alter the twenty-fifth ballot, Mr. Wil
lis Williams was nominated by acclamation.
Tho convention ballotted till alter dark, the
brass baud marched oat and serenaded it while
iu session, good humor prevailed, and they all
had “lota of lun.” Tho first nominee we know,
und he will make a good legislator. The second
we do not know. The first is from the southern
part of the couuty, aud the other from the
uortherfi part.
Hartwell Seay was found dead in the road, on
last Saturday morning. He is supposed to have
been murdered, but as yet no clue has been
found to the murderer.
Mr. Revil), editor ol the Vindicator, has u
lucrative position in the post-office department
ot the Federal House of Representatives. We
congratulate him ou his good fortune.

NEW YORK. 1877*
T HE different editions of Tue Sun during the nes
year will be the same as during the year that ha*
just passed. The daily edition will ou week d»y* be a
sheet ut lour pages, ami ou Kuudays a sheet of eight
pages, or 5G broad columns; while the weekly ediutm
will be a sheet of eight pages of the same dimenaiou* aad
character thut ure ulreudy familiar to our frioudu.
The Sun will be the strenuous advocate of reform aad
retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship,
wisdom and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility,
and fraud iu the administration of public affairs. It will
contend for the government of tho people by the people
and lor the poople, as opposed to government by traud*
in the ballot-box uud iu the counting of votes, eniorc*d
by militury violence. It will endeavor to supply its read
ers—a body now uot iur from a million souls—with tho
most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts of cur-
rent events, and will employ lor this purpose a numer
ous and carefully selected staff of reporters and corre
spondents. Its reports from Washington, especially, will
be full, accurate, and feurlesu; and it will doubtless run-,
tinue to deservo and enjoy the hatred of tho#o who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what
the law does not give them, while it will endeavor to
merit the confidence of the public by defending th©
rights of the people against the encroachment* of unjust*
Died power.
Thu price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a month oy ■
$0.50 a year, post paid, or with the Sunday edition
$7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1,110 a year,
post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight poops of 56 broad coluniM,
will be furnished during 1877 a* the rate of $1 a year,
post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the previous
rate for the Weekly cau be oujoyed.by individual sub
scribers without the necessity ol making up clubs. Al
the same time, il any of our lrieuds choose to aid in •&-
tending our circulation, wo shall bo grateful to them, aoff
every such person who sends us ten or more subscrib
ers trom one place will bo eutitled to one copy of the
paper for himself without charge. At oue dollar a year,
postage paid, the expeuses oi paper and printing are
barely repaid; aud, considering the size of the sheet anff
the quality of its contents, we are confident the pepple
will consider the The Weekly Sun the cheapest q*wa-
paper published in the world, and we trust also one uf
the very beat. Address,
