The band has been doing some
strenuous practicing lately. The
echoes of their music resound upon
the peaceful quietude of the town
nearly every night. They are play-
ing well, and will soon be able to
furnish excellent music if they stick
together.
Close of School.
The school entertainment given
Friday night of last week by the
teachers ani pupils of the Carney
schools was attended by a large num-
ber of people from the town and vi-
cinity, and it was a success in every
way. The program consisted of mu-
sic,dialogues, recitations and tab-
leaux, and was excellently carried
out by each participant, the only in-
convenience to the proceedings being
the lack of sufficient stage room.
The entertainment marked the
close of one of the most successful
t.-rrns of s hoo' ever held here, and
reflects much credit upon both teach-
ers and pupils. The work done by
the teacherL in the schools here dur-
ing the terin just closed, is deserving
of commendation, according to re-
ports of many patrons, and we feel
sure it is justly appreciated by a
large majority of the district.
We take exceptional pride in our
schools here, and these advantages,
and this pride in them, should be the
distinguishing' features of the culture
and progress of our community.
In a national convention of Baptists
held last week at St. Louis, the two
factions of that church (North .and
South) were reunited after a separa-
tion of sixty years, caused by the
slavery question. The church divi-
ded upon that issue in 1845, and
since then two separate and distinci
organizations have been maintained,
and which will continue to work along
the same lin^s, as far as organiza-
tion is concerned, but the reunited
church will labor to the same end,
and in unity of action and for acorn
mon purpose. The reunion was e -
fected amid stirring scenes of enthu-
siasm, and the differences of the pas;
were relegated to oblivion.
The commencement exercises of
the common school graduates of
Carney' ard neighboring districts,
will be held at the school house on
Wednesday night May 31st. This
class will be composed of seventeen
graduates from the Carney schools,
and a number of others from this
part of the county and all will re-
ceive diplomas entitling them to ad-
mission into any territorial school
without further examination. Supt.
Shotwell will be present and make an
address, and President Umholtz of
the teritorial Ncrmal school, has
jee.") Invited.
Child Burned to Death.
A shocking accident happened last
Sunday afternoon a few miles north-
east of Tryon by the burning of John
Newell's barn, in which the little
4-year old oon of Reuben Booth,
Mr. Newell's brother-in-law, was
burned to death.
It seems that Mr. Booth was vis-
iting at Mr. Newell's Sunday and
the two children, one of Booth's and
one of Newell's, were playing with
matches in the loft of the barn, and
started a fire in the hay.. The New-
ell child climbed down immediately,
ran to the house and gave the alarm,
but when the parents arrived at the
barn, the whole interior was ablaze,
and the next moment they heard the
child fall from the loft to the ground
floor, and when taken out, was
burned to a crisp.
