Blue Spring Sunday-School. Ed. Visitor —Please allow me a small space in your valuable paper to make my annual report of Blue Spring Sunday-school. It has been niy custom, for the last four years, to attend the annual cele bration of the Above-named Sunday school—making my report more from habit than otherwise, and to please the children who cothpose this school, I have the pleasure of reiterating what I have often said before. This school ffe a success—emphatically so— and to the teachers and Superintend ent is due the full meed of praise. In this school no isms or sectarian feelings are taught. This is a union of hearts and work—all striving to see who tan excel in teaching moral ity, modesty, refinement of sentiment, dignity of character, ’bve of the Sab bath, and veneration for religion. Here the ricli and the prror, the high fund the low (if there be any), all meet on one condition level; to pass a pleas ant, sociable; friendly hoiir —leading the younger ones by tendrils of love to improve tile miiid, to love religion, to love one another, and to become good and useful men and women. What more can be said ? This is all true—no varnish, ho flattery. To say the, celebration was a slio bess does not tell it all. The speak ing, singing, compositions and dinner were good—could hardly have been better, und'fir the 'Circumstances; Agairi we say, success to, and Heaven’s richest blessings upon, the Blue Spring Sunday-school-, Superin tendent and teachers! Would that Hamilton could boast bf such a school—sucli interest and bnterpttse! And now allow me, in conclusion, to call Uie attention of Hamiltonians and the vicinity to the fact, that next Sunday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, there will be a, meeting at the Male Acacß cmy of all Who feel an interest in Sunday-schools, and 'more particu larly in establishing an independent fSunday-sfthotd; flee from sectarian Feelings, isms or dogmas of any kind, but a unidn of hands and heart s. Let all cotne; let tlotie Stay away; but come determined to do your duty —to feel an interest—to take an act ive part —becOmC a working, ener getic, and live member. Parents, come and encourage your children. Don’t stay away, and make j-bitr Con sciences easy by saying, “ I Send my children.’* Cbmb with them, and teach them by example that it is a pleasant thiiig id attend Sunday- School. Children, ijf ma and pa will hot come with you, come alone, and We Will meet you regularly every Sun day, God willing, and help you to be prepared tb tenact your part in the future drama of life’s eventful scenes. If you belong to other schools, it does hot matter. Cotne and join the Independents. We Will do you good, hhd not evil, all the days of your life, tome on and see. Biing all your friends, tell them it is a good place lo go to bn Sunday—a pleasant place io spend an idle hour. Will you 'cotne? A Hamiltonian; Pt'hi.tc mectiiig of tne citizens bf Hamilton and vicinity will be held at the Masonic Hall on Saturday afteriiobn next; the Cth, at five o’clock; to devise ways and means for improving the appearance bf tlie graveyard. Let all interested come out—especially the ladies. Many Citizens. C®*' One of our young men shot at what he fitlpposed to be a cata mount, the other night. The shot was effective; and on inspecting his fame, he found he had murdered a iiomfts cat! dr The dullness of otir town was relieved last week by the Sheriff, who shot ai a fiegro who was trying to escape arrest: The shot tuissfed, find the negro is missing too. Judging from What has been received at this office, we believe the fruit crop of Harris coUbty this year has been a failure. Blue Spring Sunday-School. secretary’s report. Blue Spring Sunday-school was or ganized in the spring of 1867, under doubtful circumstances as to its suc cess ; but its friends and the neigh borhood went forward With commend able zeal, nothing doubting—went steadily forward, always punctual at the times of meeting; the teachers ever ready to greet the scholars with encouraging words; and in a short time they had the respect and confi dence of the pupils, which soon ri pened into love, and the leaven began to spread; The school began to grow in interest and numbers, to the as tonishment of many; and the gratifi cation of its friends. Thus closed our first year. Winter passed slowly-a Way, and spring came, and with it the inquiry, Shall we have a school this year? We again launched our ship, threw our banner t’o the breeze, and glided peacefully along, stopping ever and anon to take on precious living freight. Our little band grew in numbers and interest until it reached ninety, with an average attendance of seventy live. Another year then passed as usual, and another, without any remarkable change as to numbers or attendance, and our fifth year came and wefit, and still they came, through sunshine and rain, with no abatement of num bers or interest, but additional tics of love and attachment formed by association. This brings us to our sixth, the present year, and to-day we ai e here to greet you and bid you a hearty welcome. What we have done is manifest—here are our jewels. We have never failed to meet and go through the exercises pf the school a single Sabbath evening during our session, since our (existence. We have much to be proud of. Surely goodness and mercy hath followed our school all the days of its life. Frank Hadley, B S. S. S. Improving.— We are glad to note that Hamilton lias taken a slart up wards. Mr. Gamble, of Columbus, has rented the store of the Messrs. Murphcy, and will soon open out his new stock. Mr. Ragland is putting up anew storehouse near the jail lot. The dwelling of the Messrs. Murphey has been completed, and is the neat est looking and best finished house in town. G2F” In proof of the fact that phy sicians need money as well as other people, We heard one of our doctors say, the other day, that he would give a premium of ten per cent, to the first man who settled his bill for the present year with him. Come, now ; don’t all pay at once. A Bargain.— A due-bill on the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Cos, for S4O, can he bought for S3O by the first one who applies at this office. This presents a favorable op portunity'for saving ten dollars to auy one who desires to Iniy a machine of this make. Advertise.— Some persons think an advertisement is never read— par*, ticularly if it appears in a country paper. And ye£ we received a letter from Birmingham, Ala., the other day, in reference tb the scholarship we had advertised. We leat'n that A large num ber of persons attended the Sunday school celebration at Bhie Spring on Saturday. No opportunity offering for us to ride out there, we are una ble to state what was said or done. The fourth quarterly meeting for the Hamilton circuit will be held at the Methodist church here on thb 22d and 23d of November.
