eeinber, 1890. The examination will

ville, and will begin at 8 o’clock, a.

be but one day’s examination. Teach¬
ers who do do not conic on that day
need not apply at all. This Dec. 3,
1890. J. S. Dortch, C. S. C.

EAST AX AI.LEE PEXCI LINGS.
Ilog killing, wheat sowing, and
general winding-up of the year's bus¬
iness is the order of the day, but a
great many are falling far short and
failing to make ends meet—all occa¬
sioned either by misfortune, short
crops, or bad management. But let
that be as it may. All should profit
by it and improve upon it through
next year. Heed the advice of Davy
Crockett, “Be sure you are right then
go ahead.”
There is a spirit of enterprise on
some of our citizens. Many new
buildings are going up. l’romiucnt
among the builders are J. C. and S.
W. Moseley, M. B. Crawford, and T.
L. Hayes.
Sumpter it Rotliell are running a
saw mill near hero. They are doing
a lucrative business. Besides having
bills to till for many private parties,
they have one to till for the Toecoa
Furniture Manufacturing Company
for one million feet of lumber, to be
cut and delivered at the company's
at Toecoa.
Candidates! Candidates! They
have been almost as numerous as the
Egyptian plagues. They have been
around to see the dear people. Their
claims are all just, and all deserve the
office for which they are running.
After listening to them all I could
but sigh because I could not vote for
them all, for they are clever and de¬
serving, and for aught I know they
need help. But 1 cannot vote for
all, and my conclusions are, we need
more offices to fill to give all a chance,
or fewer aspirants.
Should I conclude to run for office,
I have no claims on the people. I
shall ask for the office purely for the
sake of the money there is in it. 1
am thinking ot running for the next
C. S. Senatorship, and shall cover up
the many war scars I carry about
this old frame of mine. 1 want no
sympathy for what I have done in
the past, but let the dead past bury
the past.
The claim that the Alliance has
been defeated in Gordon's election is
groundless. Gordon made some
blunders. He has seen his error and
turned from 1 lie evil of Ids ways, and
he will be a better man in the future
than in the past. All that has been
said and done in the campaign has
been a lesson to teach him that he
must serve and abide the decision of
the people who elected him. lie will
he more economical and live on less
than he did when lie claimed the five
thousand dollars would not support
him. Has not this principle of econ¬
omy been taught him by the Alli¬
ance ?
Gov. Xorthen is putting in some
good licks, and surely the sober class
of our people will receive a respect¬
able hearing under his administra¬
tion, when lie commands the drunk¬
ards to stand back.
Speaking of candidates and office¬
holders, none in our county has
stepped down and out who has better
tilled the office intrusted to them than
L. J. Greene, who will soon retire
from the office of Tax Collector. He
lias filled the office with honor to the
people and credit to himself, and the
people will only let Him rest a little
while when they will bid him come
up higher and occupy a seat in one
corner of the court house when Judge
McKenzie has served his second
term. Good men should always be
recognized and rewarded for what
they can and will do. So mote it be.

OUR SCHOOL.
The Carnesville High School w ill
in three weeks more end its first ses-
sion. Wc think a few words in re-
gard to its present status and future
prospects will not be out of place in
this column of the Entkukkisk at
the present time. Vo opened on the
first Monday in October, and, consul-
ering the time i»f year and the size
of our town, the success of the school
is universally admitted to be phe-
nomcnnl. W c enrolled 77 pupils
the first day. There have been eon-
tinual accessions from week to week.
until now after two months of teach-
ing we have on our roll-book
names.
.Among tlicin there are about 7)0
grown young ladies and gentlemen.
We have three classes in ()rthographv
(Dictionary) aggregating 70 pupils,
iiosides the primaries with charts and
spelling-books. We have over 100 in
reading, from the sixth reader down
to the first. We have at least 77» in
Grammar and Geography, and near
DO in Arithmetic. We have pupils
in Robison’s, Davies’, and Sandford’s
Algebras. We have them in Greek
ami .... Latin from Xenophon .. , and ( icero
down to the grammars and readers,
We have several in Geometry,
Rhetoric, and Natural Philosophy.
We think, as a general thing, our
pupils are doing well, As an ew- .
deuce of our faith in their
we intend to devote the Inst day of
the session (December 24th) to a
public examination at the court-house
hall. And we hereby invite patrons
and friends of the school, and the
public generally, to he present and
see for themselves whether or not
the time in school for three months
has been well employed. Each par¬
ent or guardian can then see for him¬
self what his own especial charges
have done in the way of learning.
For this there will be no packing and
cramming, but the usual exercises at
school will continue to the 2fil'd of
I Jecember.
The good order of the school lias.
in the main, commended itself to the
citizens of ... the town amt , viemitv. . . .
•
1 aking into the account the new-
ness of the school under its present
management, we are sure that the
daily disipline must challenge the ad¬
miration of all who have visited
school, or noticed the deportment
< f pupils on the streets while p ssiug
to and f.toni the academy, Our
young ladies and gentlemen are in¬
deed worthy of all praise, while our
boys and girls are as bright and wc 11-
behaved as are to be found in all the
land.
Some one has said, “Happy is lie
who fills a want of the people.” That
saying may be supplemented with the
following: “Happy is he who finds
the right sort of people to want bis
services.” The people of Carnesville
have demonstrated that they
a first class school b y haring it. The
school owes its splendid success to
the efforts of the people in and
around Carnesville in its behalf,
These people are ever ready to boom
tlieir school. Their houses are open
at low rates to boarders. Their hearts
and souls arc in the work. And so
in all confidence wc say, full honor
to the patrons and continual success
to the school.
After resting and recruiting
through the holidays, wc shall open
again on the first Monday in Janua¬
ry, and continue uninterruptedly for
seven scolastic months. From gen¬
eral belief, founded on favorable re¬
port from various sections i f the
country, we may augur well for the
success of the coming session. New
houses are being erected, and lots for
building will be sold cheap by pub¬
lic-spirited citizens who have the
school and its interests at heart. If
any reader is in doubt on those things
we heartily bid him come and see.
To-morrow at 10 o’clock in the
forenoon we will deliver our last
, lecture for the , present session at the
accademy. Several of our appreci-
ativc citizens have been attending
thesc Saturday-morning lectures to
the class in Composition and
tion. As this is the last lecture, for
the year 1890, and will he in the na-
ture of a valedictory, we would he
pleased to have all friends, who can
do so, to attend.
Horace, the genial Roman poet,
in his “A rs Poetica ” says, “A word
uttered cannot be recalled.” It is
true, and we ought all of us to be¬
ware what we say about our
hors, because we can’t take it back,
And if wc must say bard things,
*
winch ... we are too prone A to do, j - let us
always be sure that they arotrue be-
fore saying them.
