Picnic at Hopewell The Hopewell School, though not now in session, had a most elegant picnic on Wednesday. Appropriate exercises had heea prepared, free refreshments and an elegant dinner was served, and the community held up its good name as an entertainer, to the top notch. County School Commissioner B. D. Purcell opened the educa tional discussion.. He was follow ed by Editor T. B. Haitig, aod Col. K. L. Bennett, a u d it seems safe tosav that the cause of local taxation for schools, through which we will be enabled to build up a good system of public schools for the entire county, has not. n biogle enemy in that pare of Wayne. Mr. J. C. Hatcher, Sr. of Wins low, was the master of ceremon es, and conducted the entire program with an elegance that, was most complimentry Picnic at Pine Grove Tim Pine Grove Public School, und-rthe management of Miss M idge Long, closed the five month* term Tuesday, July 80th.

The day was a most pleasant one throughout, and both the cause of local school taxation and proper organization of our Sea Is land Growers made many warm friends. It may not he amiss to state that the Pine Grove School is one of our rural schools that has made much progress lately. Instead of the old time bench seats, they have elegant patent seats. There is also a library and in many ways progress along educational lines was easily noticed.

Miss Ethel Gardner, who has been the successful preceptress, proved a most successful teacher, aud held up a good attendance throughout the term. To her credit it must be said that during the last pup lie school year, four different leachers made the attempt to teach the 8chool , and t l le ir com bined efforts failed t<> finish the –ve months term, but Miss Gard ner vas able to hold up a good av erage for tlie • ntireterm.
