The public exercises of Prof. Murray’s school were concluded last Friday night by a speaking from all the school. Though we were unable to be present, we hear that the exercises were entertain¬ ing. Four prizes were delivered to each of the best in four classes. Among the larger girls, Miss Dora Hollingsworth received the prize; among the larger boys, John Gleaton; among the smaller girls, Katie McCalla; and among the smaller bo'ys Lawton Moon. Mrs. Mamie Shaver and Prof. Jas. W. Maddox were the judges. Rev F. M. Haygood of Atlanta delivered the prizes after a short and appropriate talk. As to the gubernatorial cam¬ paign, so far only two counties, Houston and Lee, have acted. The first instructed its delegates : ! or Hardeman for governor and Henderson for commissioner. Lee, however, went for Northen for governor and Nesbitt for com¬ missioner. Macon county hasn’t acted, but has endorsed Northen and Nesbitt. So Nesbitt is in the lead for commissioner in the few counties that have expressed themselves, but then all the coun¬ ties have not been heard from. As the returns come in, however, the Nesbitt column lengthens out. Gathered in Honey Creek. BY OUR CORRESPONDENT. Rev. G. W. Phillips filled his appointment at H°ney Creek chufch last Sunday. J, B.

Yet, Iceland is a fa¬ mous country—famous for the achievements of its heroes, for the poetry and prose it has given to the world, and, above all, for the education that pervades all classes The love of learning is almost a mania in Iceland, and itis the rar¬ est thing in the world to meet a native who cannot read and write. Another admirable trait is the remarkable honesty which pre¬ vails in Iceland. Crime is almost unknown; the people never lock their doors, and but two cases of thieving are known to have taken place within many years. One was an Icelander ivlio had broken liis arm, and whose family in the winter were suffering for food. He stole several sheep, and was finally detected. He was at once put under medical care for his injury, provisions were- fur¬ nished for his family, and in time he was given work. This was his punishment. who The other was a German stole seventeen sheep. He was in comfortable circumstances, and the theft was malicious. His pun¬ ishment was to sell all his proper¬ ty, restore the value of his thefts, and leave the country or be exe¬ cuted. He left at once. We have received a snort story written especially for the Banner, which will appear in out next week s issue. Now, should our contemporary, when he heais of this, not have a sun-stroke, an at tack of sciatica, or the gout, it wiil afford us great pleasure to publish from time to time thejproduetionsof our esteemed contributor, We regret having to leave out two articles this week on account of their length, They will ap pear in our next.

The oat crop however will be very short. Matt Allen, a colored woman farming on a plantation belonging to Mr. Arch Stewart of Coving¬ ton, has sixteen acres of as fine cotton as there is in Newton coun ty, and six or seven acres of as equally fine corn. This she lias worked herself only hiring three days work. Her husband, Jeff Alien, is working at Lithonia in the q'uarry making $1.75 per day. This'shows what our colored peo¬ ple can 4o when they try. Mr. Willie Park left Saturday on a business trip to Conyers Au¬ gusta and other points.

On Tuesday flight of last week Mr. Griffin and Mr. Farris of Ox ford were calling on some young ladies, guests of Mrs. A. T. Gray. Late in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Gray having retired for the night, thought they heard a buggy in front of the house, but decided it was the gentlemen leaving and paid no attention to it. Some hours afterwards, about 1 o’clock, the gentlemen started for Oxford. They had driven but a very short distance, however, when all the wheels of the bnggy fell off, leav¬ ing the gentlemen in an uudigni fied position in the middle of the road. One of the gentlemen boarded the express, the other borrowing Mr. Gray’s saddle en¬ joyed an “equestrian excursion” of a few miles with Mr. Self & Co. Two gum coats missing but no I’eward offered.
