Summary of Happenings in Neighborhoods cAdjaeent to
Lexington Chronicled by The cAcfoertiser Correspondents.
ACONA
The weather was disagreeably cold
and showery Saturday'morning, but a
large crowd assembled at the school
house, and the time passed pleasantly
and quickly, while listening to the
songs of the children, with Miss My
ra McRae as organist.
At 10 o'clock the exercises began
by singing song No. SO, Young Peo
ple's Hymnal No. 2.
W. J. O'Bryant; Song,
after which the following recitations
were rendered:
Tyramus and Thishe,
Melton, of Emory.
Independence Hell, Master Abner
Reeves, of Emory.
Kate Shelley, Miss Certrude Fra
Prayer by Rev.; (
"America;"

zier,
The Black Horse and His Rider,
Master ('laude Pox.
Song, Old (Rory, while two small
pupils waved two miniature repre
sentatives. Then the recitations:
The Raven, Miss Nellie Moore,
Acona.
The Deathbed of Benedict Arnold,
Master Will. Vol Hailey, Acona.
Song, No. 97.
An oration followed by Rev. J. T.
Lewis: ''The Philosophy of Life; its
Aim."
Song, No. 1.
Adjournment for dinner and deci
sion of the Committee, whe
from Black Hawk, Carroll Co., viz:
Mrs. Wm.
After
were
Mrs. Dr. H. J. Marshall,
Meek and Rev. J. T. Lewis,
dinner the committee having reached
a decision and order restored, Mr.
Lewis stated that they disagreed but
finally decided that Miss Pertrudo
Frazier and Master W in, Vol Hailey
should go to Lexington next month.
After song No. 201, the Benediction
was pronounced by Rev. Duncan, of
JiU'ksou, atfuL. wiiile- tks^ju. * aJ - turn.
from lieHind the clouds the wind was
cold and chilly, so
their homes well satisfied and de
lighted to have been present on such
an occasion.
The school house was tastefully
decorated with (lowers and pictures
and miniature flags. The committee
of arrangements, who ever they were,
certainly deserve thanks, though we
expect that cm' rnittce was composed
of one we do not know. -Th« pupils
did well, so well that we would like
to present each with a medal our
selves and Rro. Lewis with two, for
his oration was the finest we ever
heard. In fact the whole day was a
success with the exception of the
weather. Misses Parrie
and Ruth Ellington, teachers of the
Tehula and Emory schools respect,
ively, deserve praise and their schol
ars certainly did them credit,
course, our teacher does, too, but
everybody knows him, and "while his
roses are white," and he gets "mixed
with the boys" some times, his pupils
front all over the South appreciate
his training, and .there are some no
ble men and women among them who
are widening and enlarging the rip
ples of his influence till it will extend
around the world and unto the bound
less shores of eternity.

THE TOGGERY
WEATHER REPORT.
Fur week ending Monday, April 17th.
The mean temperature for the week
was about three degrees below normal.
Heavy rains were general on the 10th
j and the T 1th and moderate showers
In''occurred in nearly ail parts of the State
during the middle of the week. The
j week dosed with fair and much cooler
, . . .
weather with light to heavy frost on
the 17th.
Owing to the unfavorable weather
condition farm work was almost at a
standstill. Low lands were too wet to
admit of plowing. Plowing and plan
ting,on uplands were in progress only
Direct-;during the last two or three days of
the week.
Over the northern half of
the State very little corn and practi
cally no cotton have heen planted; only
a small fraction of cot ton land has been
plowed. Farm work is somewhat
more advanced over the southern coun
ties where considerable corn and some
cotton have been planted. With few
exceptions corn that was planted in
March is up to good stands, looks well
and in a few localities is being cultivat
ed. Oats are making a thrifty growth,
sugar cane and Irish potatoes
are growing nicely. Truck gardens
are generally promising and vegetable
and strawberry shipments are incrcas
ing. Pastures are in excellent condi
tion.
A retort of the Japanese minister
to Permany to Count von Buelow is
going the rounds of diplomatic society
j in Berlin, says the New York Tribune.
