To the end. therefore, that our object may be attained, w£ most respectfully ask and solicit short, newsy, and pithy communications from all parts of the county. One request, however, we make, and that is, that all personal allusions which would have the least tendency to offend, may be entirely eschewed. Again, will those of our friends sending us samples of their crops of any kind—vegetables, or garden “ sass” of any description—be pleased to note brieflV. the mode of culture, &c. These are matters in which all have and feel an interest, and might, in the end, prove highly beneficial to many a reader of the paper. Without pursu its the subject farther, we again make the re quest please send us the local news. . ;[l Death of a Most Estimable Lady.

Long, took place yesterday (Friday) afternoon, at 3 o’clock, from the Presbyterian Church. At the hour mention ed, tfiis edifice was crowded with perhaps as large, or a larger assemblage than had ever met at the same place on a similar occasion. The funeral discourse, delivered by Rev. G. Cartled B e, was solemn, impressive, and instructive ; and at the same time was mark ed by a peculiar fitness as an appropriate tri bute to departed worth. In the closing service Mr. Cartledge was assisted by Rev. A. J. Kelly, Pastor of the Baptist church. The exercises at the church ended the re mains of our revered friend were followed to their last resting place by an immense throng of tho6e.who, in hundreds and hundreds of instances, perhaps, had been the recipients of the kind benefactions and ministrations of this truly benevolent and Christian citizen. Beloved and respected by all, in lifs, neigh bor vied with neighbor and friend with friend in the desire to pay the last sad homage to the n\emor3 r of him “whose like they would ne’er b’ehold again.” J “ Unveil tliy bosom, faithful tomb, Take this new treasure to thy trust; And give these sacred relics room To slumber in the silent dust.” A most beautiful and touching illustration of the respect and esteem in which the de ceased was held by the colored citizens of [•Jefferson and vicinity, was manifest in the (large number of this class who were present [throughout the entire funeral ceremonies. [Numbers of them giving visible evidence that (they too, shared in the common grief entail ed upon the community by this sad bereave ment. For the Forest News. Banks County Academy. Mr. Editor : Necessity drives man to the .accomplishment of certain objects and things which otherwise would not be obtained. Then, ias the grade of education is gradually on the increase, necessity makes it a matter of par amount, importance that every one should obtain, at least, a good practical primal ed ucation. The question might here arise, what is primary education? Does it consist in knowing the contents of rudimentary books ? and, combined with this, does it con sist in knowing the classics and higher mathJ ematies ? I will answer, no. While primary education may embrace these, it consists in the capacity one has for knowing not how much one may know. If one should under stand the primary works and the higher branches, that is good ; but it is better by far to have the capacity of knowing how to ac quire information. The exercises of the above institute closed, by permission of patrons, after a session of nine months. After much study as to the best method of governing and advancing the pupils of this school, I have reason to believe that general satisfaction has been given ; and I would like to make mention ofthe advance ment of some of the lamer pupils, and espe *ially of the rapid progress of many of the tittle boys and girls ; but were I to commence t 1 would not know where to stop. Owing jto the hasty and unexpected “closing out” of he school, there was no exhibition nor exam nation. with the exception of a thorough ex amination in spelling in Webster’s Spelling book. Now, to he a little personal, sometime since, promise was made to the students that “honj orable mention” would be made of those who -hould master .the spelling-book so far as to i>e able to spell, correctly 7, the contents of the same. After reviewing for a day or two, and rhen the final test, which took place on the 19th inst., the following named pupils were Successful: Misses C’allie Dodd. Eugenia Harmon. Rosalie Mason, Sallie Moss, Blanche Bowden, Emma Harmon, Mamie Turnbull, Susie Mason, Reecie Dodd, Kantie West, Annie West and Margie Stephens. The fol lowing are the young men and boys : Messrs. M. C. and J. •J. Bailey, Ben J. Simpkins, kt. A. Meeksi Fanny Houlbrook, Johnny West, Thomas Owen, J. N. Simpkins and G. R. Bowden ; owing to sickness and other hindrances, the three last named males and [females did not have the opportunity of re viewing, but they 7 no doubt would have suc ceeded, as the two last named males stood the test very well, without any preparation. The prize in the,, dictionary class, at the spring term of the school was taken by B. J. Simpkins, and that of the fall term by J. J. Bailey. This young man had never attended any school before, and his example proves that application is better than genius. The [third was taken by Master Iry Eugenia Hill, This little boy has won his prize by untiring energy and close application to his books— being cognizant of the fact that procrastinaJ tion is the thief of time and that delay ifJ dangerous—which has crowned his efforts with success.
