following report:
Through cur committees we
[lave examined all the records per
pining to the county, Upoti the
whole they are neatly kept and, as
par as we could ascertain, correct.
The report made by our efficient
County School Commissioner de¬
serves special notice, showing
much interest manifested in the
cause of education. There are 49
school buildings all in good condi¬
tion — v5 for white and 24 for col
zred children, with an enrollment
if 889G, of which 2028 are white,
showing an increase over the pre
I’ious year of 1G6. His books
show that he has received from all
sources, $18707.69. Amount dis¬
bursed as per vouchers $12340.59,
leaving a balance 011 hand of
11867.10.
We find further that the Board
°fEducation has complied with
the law with regard to laying off
Ihe county in school districts.
It is with much sorrow that we
■earn that Mr. Adams will resign
bis position to accept the presi¬
dency 1,1 the Fifth District Agri¬

We find the public roads in fair¬

scarcity of labor our roads are not
in as good condition as we or our
county commissioners would have
them, but feel assured that the
commissioners are doing all in
their power to put them in good

We find the jail in

these repairs be made at once.
We recommend that the book
cases in the vault of the clerk s
office be changed and so arranged
as to better preserve the records ii.
that office.
We find that the druggists have
complied witn the law governing
the sale of poisons. for
We find no reason any

Notes From Flint Hill.
We are only ‘tots,” but our
teacher has appointed us to write
this week. We are all eight years
old, and in the fourth grade.
We like to come to SchooF for
our teacher treats us all alike.
They do not have any pets in
school. We treat one another
like brothers and sisters. Our
j school is full and we wa> t it to
stay that way.
If we come to school regular
| now, we will know something
when we get grown, And if we
do not go regular, people will
| laugh at us.
This week Mr. Martin and Miss
Dorothy exchanged work, Some
ot the children brought us some
coral, and in our geography les¬
son it was explained to us.
Last Fridav we wrote some
compositions, some of the .-ubj^cts
were: An Educated Person, An
Ignorant Person, Why I Come To
School, A I,azy Boy, A Pretty
Day, My School Days, Dou’ts For
Pupils.

Now I must make some com¬
ment 'on our Educational Page,
and its many talented writers.
I enjoy all the “notes” from th«
different schools so intensely, that
it is quite hard indeed lor me to
decide which ot them is l»es f .
They ail wrbe nice and instruct¬
ive letters. I think some mgges
tioi.s worth thtnking about. So
many opportunities are given now
even to the p >orest. There is
no excuse for anyone growing np
without an education. Free
schools are growing and the doors
of the colieges academies are open
to all. I believe this life is what
we make it, yet it is true that
“Life is a great problem,” which
can nevei be solved until this
mortal life shall end, and the eter¬
nal life begins. Each one of us as
were placed in the world for some
purpose. A rosebud, once wilted
ed and almost dead, will bring
new life if we give it the needed
culture. So our lives will diffuse
sweetness around us if we live to
the grand purpose fur which we
were created. We should all grow
in knowledge like a rose opening
leaf by leal, each fragrant petal a
thought.
There is hundred chances, now,
to one when our our parents were
young. But some of us walk a
round opportunities every day '
without seeing them. If we meet;
them in the road we do not recog¬
nize thom. I
While there are many unpleas
ant things arise before us while we
..re striving to get an education
pleasant) 1
we must think there are

do . , best. .
