Ehw fnleg 5eenger. J. R. HAGOOD, EDITOR. d DEVELOPMENTS OF THE C. C. G.& C C. R. R. The directors of this enterprise met. at Abbeville last week. Noj elaborate report has been made t concerning their meneting, but some Iavorable imformatlon has been received, regarding the success with which the financial agent in C Europe hopes to meet. The town- s ships will not be called to vote up- ) on the subject of subscriptions un til next Fall. The result of the r European agent's efforts will have much to do with the vote of the townships along the line. Sol( in a great measure the conple I ion of this road depends uPoll oth- b er help than ours, so long as it is in the hands of the present Con- T struction Company. A LITERARY FEAST. tl: Prof. C. W. Moore, Principal of f( ihe Etsley Academy, favored thegi &itizens of our town anid the sur-l' rounding country, on last Friday C Iight, with a truly rich literary 4 feast. Information was given se t hrough the columns of the M Es-Is sExoxa that there would be a speech given to be accompanied by W music. The large Hall of the l Academy was nearly filled, and th lie large audience that assembled knew just what to expect from soig, eloquent a man as Prof. Moore. The only thing needed to insure a1 fo large assemlbly of' people is the do of inere mention that Prof. Moore ai will deliver an address. His pow- 0' c; er to entertain an audience is alto- IS gether without measure, and the' trieat that he gives to a commliuni ty, fond of hearing at fine speech, is tlh 'one well worthy the sincerest ap prleciation of every one. His sub- he ject last Friday night was: Schools Y andu their uses. H is subject though.t i seemingly an old one, was ti eated Cf in a manner well calculated to in- at' terest the profoundlest thinker of at he 19th century. His ability to i, take hold of' a suibject and to di- W gest it, is decidedly marked. lie spoke of the relation of' education. th to christainity, andl assumed1 that while the one could exist without m the other, there was a connection between the two. lie spoke flu- rm ently with regardl to the (lead lan- a guages and higher mathematics. al lHe is a strong advocate of each, i. and properly so. He 1holds that S( the so-called dead languages e< ar'e not (lead, but they are the liv-a ing languages of dead nations. ni We hope at some futnre time to et print his speech in full, so that the people may see something tu really fine.
