A GREAT MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Famous Blind Musician of Boston to
Be In Wajnesboro February lOih.
Perhaps the best musical treat
that Waynesboro has ever had will
be the concert given at the Acade
my Auditorium on Monday night
February lOih by Mr. Edward Bax
ter Perry, the famous blind musi
cian of Boston. Mr. Perry has play
ed all over Europe and America
before the most distinguished and
cultured audiences of tbe two con
tinents, and Waynesboro is to be
congratulated upon securing him
on his annual tour through the
South.
Mr. Perry is not only a musician
of the highest rank ; but he is also
a charming lecturer, and by his
beautiful and lucid descriptions of
his music he makes it possible for
unmusical people to appreciate and
enjoy the best music which is a
special feature of his work upon
which he prides himself
An Important Announcement to Teachers.
First; the school term for 1902
« ill be six months, divided into two
sessions. The first session begins
January 6 hand ends April 25;h,
when ihe main work of making
crops invariably demands help from
most children.
Our second session begins July
1st, and ends August 23 J, when the
-ame children are needed In har
vesting crops. This division tnees
the necessities of a large majority
of people, and all should support
the schools in this manifestly cor
rect term arrangement. We can
not maintain successfully public
schools at seasons when it is clearly
against public necessities; it is little
sort of a crime to attempt it. Under
the division indicated above the
Board of Education confidently ex
pects the best average daily attend
ance in the history of the schools.
Second; arrangements are per
fected to pay salaries and other
school claims at the end of each
month. Payments will be made on
the first Saturday after mcntldy ro
ports are filed with the Commission
er. Under this regulation January
claims can be paid February 8th;
and on the corresponding Saturday
for each succeeding-school month,
"Roark’s Methods” will remain the
professional text for 1902 Iu addi
tion to this text, "Shaw’s School
Hygiene” should be studied dili
gently, as (hat subject, with physiol
ogy, will be included in the ap
preaching state examination. F..r
the convenience of Burke teachers
only. I shall have Shaw’s text for
sale at the store of The R. C. Neely
Company at $1 00 a volume. Will -
in a short time I shall receive a sup
ply of the new“Manual of Methods”
for gratuitous distribution.
All ihe foregoing is by authority
of ihe Board of Education.

is still living. They will remember
him as one of the fearless color-

carried the battle-flag during the
whole war and had five color-bear-
