We msy not be far from correct wh^n

Each class had adopted a missionary

of the members of the class recited the
scripture verse and another member a
yerse of poetry, both explanatory of the
name of the clasa. They then received

School Examination.
The closing exercises of the Bainbridge
Academy took place on Thursday and Fri
day of tost week. The examination of tie
pupils in thri^. various studios took place bn
Thursday, and the proficiency aqd readiness
of answer shown, under the thorough ieet
to w^ich they were subjected, proved alike
creditable to the pupils and their- teacher,
Mr. Rountree. -

there was quite a “splutter*’ among tlie

These people were invited therft
Rev. Joel Johqsqn, pastor of That church,,
for the purpose—as w.e learn he stated
of “building up t^e church.” The mem
hers are righteouajj indignant, and we
are informed that Mr Johnson preaches
there no more. Noe blame whatever can
attach to the colored people, |s they were
expressly invited by Mr. JohRsop.
