removal thither awakens in us a new
interest in Brunswick.
—The report of the Principal ol
Blackshear Academy, appearing in
this issue of The Times, reveals
some laets which should arouse our
people from their lethargy in educa
tional matters into active and earnest
support of our public school. Prof.
Tyson is making an earnest effort to
give our people a first-class school;
but, In order to accomplish any
permanent results, it is absolutely
imperative that he have the unwaver
ing support of the people
Has any tncirbcr of the Board ol
Trustees visited the Academy at any
time during the pa-t session? H not,
have they done their duty?
There should be not less than 125
active attendants at the Black-hear
Academy Our children cannot lie
educat 'd into useful men and wom
en, if they are allowed to roam the
streets instead of being sent to school.
Our ii people must awake and to
work, they would have a good
school.
COUNTY FAIR.

county fair, and the time for action
draws nigh, See th*} following
expressions of opinion, gathered by
a Times reporter, favoring the move
ment :
Mr. I). R. Johnson says:—“I am
heartily in favor ol it., and will do

A countv fair would stir our people

county, ami will do what I can to
help llie movement ”
Mr. Duncan A. Smith says;—“It’s
a good thirg. Will be glad to see it
in operation. Will do all I can to
help it forward.”
Mr. J. M. Wano» says:—“It
does good in other counties, and
certainly would in Pierce.”
Mr. N. A. Dixon says;—“I see no

arid think it would do great good."

REPORT OF THE
Principal of the
Blacksliear Academy.
To The Boa no of Tiustres:— 1
re-poet billy submit l‘>r your intonna
t'on this my report of the titst
session ol dm Academy, iintler my
charge, cmmueiieinir Seple nber ‘2m).
uuti ending on the 8th instant.
'1 lie total nu in: tor of pupils entered
during the session amounted to
thirty-five, ol which number there
were twolv# male#
leinules, of the average age ol thir—
teen years.
During the session four discontin
ued their attendance without any
reason assigned, or notification ol
the Principal; two on account ol
family alll etion, and one on remov
al ol residence.
The classifietion has boon as fol
lows; lour in the first grade, twenty
four in the second, and seven in the
thud
This attendance has been small and
discouraging Ini' a town with ,-o large
a number of children ol school age as
Bl.ick-hear, and with the rates of
tuition on so very moderate a scale.
The session, however, has been a
tentative one for principal, patrons,
and scholars. Strangers to each
other, each had to make scrutiny ol
tho oilier. What the result has
been, time will develop.}.
The Principal desires to express
him elf as much gratified by the
general capacity lor improvement
manifested by his scholars; time,
however, is the essential element lor
the cultivation of ability; and should
future patronage encourage him to
the attempt, he propose-* to intro
duce many of ihe modern means and
appliances lor exciting emulation in
the school room lor which ho has
found no opportunity during the past
session.
Without discipline no ctlucationnl
institution cun be a scueess. If the
students realize that the parents arc
in ucount with the teacher in enforc
ing it. the burden is rendered much
lighter for the teacher, who can do
but little in this direction without,
such support.
Regular attendance is another im
portant, element of success, together
with punctuality in answering the
morning roll-call.
In coaclu-ion, I would express an
curliest do -1 re fora better acquaint
ance with my scholars, I cannot,
but l look that ii prosperous and beau-
11 ! 11 1 town Ilk- Black-hear, presenting
so many tangible indications on the
part i I its population of a striving
uf er the better ami higher life, will
be keenly alive to the importance ol
building up their local educational
establishment.
The new session will often on Mon
day, Nov. I Hit. In the meantime, 1
respectfully ask of the Trustees to
meet meat the school-house on Satur
day at noon to arrange forim proving
the condition of the Academy, and
to transact other business.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Hoboken Ga., Nov. fit It 1889.—
M 1-8 N.oicy Dowling and Mr. Harley
Htukuxwere married at. the home ol

Many friends ami relatives witnessed
the happy union, in which Rev. L.

Owing to tho absence of the super
intendent, Mr. J. M. Quarterman,
