The general advancement in the cauce of education in our county during the jm.ll y:.X was pot a'J tl;t could be desired ; the march of progress ii with tveh matured tte that the result of a single year must be great to be plainly perceptible. But that we have progressed slowly but surely, I think is evident. One cogent evidence of progress we find in the erection of four teen good substantial houses. Two entire new schools were lonned ; two were grad ed, and two that had been closed a few years for want ot pupils were again open ed. Our teachers also deserve a wqr of cheer and comfort for iholr itcal, clergy tnd, skill, as well' as llie public acceptance with which labor has It-en received. And bv their open manifestations, wc have reason to bek-.ve, ujKin the whole, that each sue. coediug year brings a more efficient corps ol director. Althuugh quiet and unpre tending we consider our work an improve ment on the precceding year. The slojc to educational perfection is long, tedious and difficult, and aliiful series of activity and intervals of repose are not so well cal culated to reach the summit.as tho tireless energies of a regular, though toilsome line ot progression. The work cf educating the masses cannot bo accomplished in a few briefypaii'lWl'if we"ca'n'&liow that ad vancement has ln-en made in a s'mgle year, it is reasonable to infer that the time will come, w hen we thnU hrtvo Uetler schools thaa now, n:ul gcaer.il intelligence will occupy a vantage ground uot held before.

At tliia lhr clivap of another school vear I can not sec that we have any reason for discouragement. In some localities it is true the school machinery does not work so well : but I feel confident we have tak- ,n nn at-n Imi luiinl but on the contrary slowly and steadily do we endeavor to keep pace with our sister counties anu neighboring states, in all that relates to lnKtin nnd cohil imnroveniont in the things that pertain to the prosperity of our schoo's. And finally, I return my cordial acknowledgement to the School Depart ment to (lirpctors and teachers, ko ' the county press, to ah v,-Tiq havti so ohecrfully aidea nio m niy labor tturing me past year.

It having been arranged for the Schools and citizens ot Confluence nnd Ursina to meet and celebrate the Fourth U3 C.,pa'm Cuttle made over hi "propv'tty," llllt isi "gentely," imniediatp afd txlepsive prep aratiiiJ were liegun.' With the exception of a small and dissatisfied remnant, every body entered heartily into every move that promised to make it successful. At an early hour crowds began to come from all points. . In good time an excur sion train, drawn and driven by two engines arrived with the Ursina schools and people, and that crowd alone would have made a large and successful gathering. - A proces sion was formed at the Lutheran, church, and, headed by the militafy-'bahil. rnarched fo tLq groyp,' y'tuateil between the two tow-i'a iUtl near tlie railroad A large, comfortable stand was erected for the of ficers and speakers and the church organ. The speakers w e did 4iot hear, nor did we leant the names of the otllcers. When we arrived ever3-thing had given place to thoughts ot dinner, nnd the ixirtly baskets, hampers, boxes, bundles, tic., gave cheer ing evidence that it any were sent away empty it w ould not be the fault of the citi zens or the special committees. They worked very hard and very cheorfully to supply the w ants of all. Of course in sucli a vast crowd, large; by iiuridreils than the ruoQt wnguihp" calculations, there was piuch crowding, to the detriment of the modest and retiring 1 but not the least dis order, not dispute, not a loud, angry or profane word throughout the day, a very reuiarkahle circumstance when the "mixed elements" are considered. At each side of the grove booths lor the sale of cooling drinks and delicacies, had been built, for the accommodation of those who prefer ret 1 that to the public table, and we arc pleased to learn that hundreds of dollars were realized, to be d'vi!lcd be'-' tween the churchi?,1-' "' " .

On the evening of tlm 41U, tho crowd agaia pnthcrpd 1.4 tne grove, and where they aU'civfne from is a mystery, hut there they were in masses, ready to enjoy w hat ever was given them.

No chilling wlD'ls nt r piisjiuss l.i-;alh, Can na'di the healthful shire, Si.;kncss and soitow pain and death Are felt and feared no more." Willie Kncpper was a remarkable child, none knew him but to love him, nnd w ith his amiable disjiosition and warm heart, he won many friend:, both old and young. His good nature, his polite and sprightly conduct made him a great favorite with all who knew him. lie was a religious child, loved the Sab bath School and services of the church. It was his custom to pray at home and always when he entered his Sunday School class. Dear reader think, a loy only five years old to be so mindful cs not to neglect or forget prayers. lie was a great admirer of flowers and attributed all' beautilul and good things to God. On a certain morning, when he dis covered that during the night some beau tiful flowers had opened, his heart was so lull of joy and gratitude, that in the pres ence of his mother, he kneeled and thanked Gxl for his goodness. He had implicit faith and trust in Uod nnd had no fears of death, but shortly before he died he called his father, mother and friends to his bed side and calmly bid them farewell, saying, "Don't cry." Tho real christian spirit and character manifested by this lovely little boy shows the absurdity of the false and prevalent notion of many, that little children aro not capable of exercising christian faith and works. All children can aud ouzht to be gotxl and pious as we believe Willie was. Stricken parents remember the last words of your dear child and be comforted, "Don't cry I'm not dead yet." I.
