With no special prepa ration for the occasion, the classes showed that they bad been well taught, and had trade fine proficiency in their studies.

Agreeable to the request in the last issue Os your valuable journal, we will endeavor to give, in us couei e a style as possible, a retro speetive view of the closing exercises cf the Brown’s Station School. The exercises commoner and at 8 o’clock, a.m., beneath a large and commodious arbor erected on the East side of the academy, with an examination of the lower branches, to-wit: .Spelling, English G'rammar, Arith rcetic, Geogn piy and L. tn, Eaeir elass s , taiued itself with becoming dignity under a thorough and critical examination on their different text books, Tire Latin classes, un der the superinten deuce of Miss Annie Grubbs, assistant teacher, exhibited a marked degree of fluency in latin construction, as well as an accurate and literal translation of that language. At 1 2 o’clock the exercises were suspended, and we repaired to the spacious and well ven tilated cotton shed near the depot, where a most extellorrt dinner awaited our arrival Everything was very tastefully arranged, and indeed the spot was well chosen for the dis cussion of those delicious viands. The resi dents of Brown’s Station, and surrounding neighborhood know how to excel in such matters as these, and if you have ever en j >yed their hospi'aiity on a similar occasion you can better imagine than we describe. The afternoou exercises consisted in an ex amination of the advanced classes in Arith metic, Algebra, and spet ches from little boys and gnls. The stHdents gave decided evi dence of a complete mastery of the funda mental principles of Arithmetic, and the speeches by the little people were delivered as prettily as any wc ever witnessed. We trink the patrons of the school may con gratulate themselves on their good fortune in securing the services of such able and ef ficient teachers as Mr. W. R- King and Miss Annie Grubbs. The evening exercises commenced at 8 o'clock, r.u. Compositions by the young la dies.

King but a short time, performed very well. The majoiity of tire speeches of the boys being prineipally extracts, were delivered with a good deal of force and feeling. Tire plays were tastefully gotten up, and spatial commendation is due Mr. D A. Gam nnge for his successful performance of the most d.fficult parts. The prizes were award ed by Prof. C. 11. Wooten of Lee, conclud ing to a very appropriate address to the stu dents. The evening exercises were enlivened with the exquisite music of the Dawson Brass Baud, and we do assure them, while listening to their bewitching strain, “I am tired now and sleepy too,’’ would never ap ply to us iu a literal sense. * A Friend to Education.

Wo ad mire their spunk. Tlpe reports -on tho condition of crops are so conflicting it is impossi ble to form an idea of what tho gen eral condition is. One will tell you he has had plenty of rain, while his neighbor reports a great need of tho same.

In calling '.lie attention of planters to otir Cotton Gins, we desire that they should notice ‘.he improvements we offer, which are substantially as billows ; A. PORTA BEE ROLL BOX, For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; tho object of which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen the quantity and improve the quality of lint. Also, to gin dump or wot cotton ; to alter tho picking or separating the lint from tho seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from the seed, as circumstances require.
