•Aim. I am greatly pleased to
know that tlie teacher* held the
meetings, aud that they were so
smertaiiiiug to ths large number
nf visitor* present. A nice letter
from Mrs. Lizzie Webster informs
m« that Covington Hid henvlf
proud through the eTo'Is of its
excellent teacher, Miss May Runs.
She had the academy handsomely
and srtisticly decorated with a
profusion of wreathes and flowars
and they had a gala-day turnout.
We suppose that the meetings at,
Ellerljc and Beaver Dam were
equally pleasant and entertaining.
Kobvnlt-I, Hamlet, Ojkil.il* and
Bethel could nut lie excelled. At.
the last four schools no competi
tive exnrnises warn held except an
old-time spelling match at Oak
■lalo, which was a victory to both
sides. At Eller be. Master Kill*
Haywood of Mias Mamin Thomas'
school, was awarded the honor oi
lieing the l>e*t *|>eakrr, age con-1

hnuor wns awarded to Master H.
R. Thrower, of Mrs. McNeill’s'
