Talk about in the way of entertainments, if the Lilliputian wedding in connection with e bazaar in the opera Thurs- day night, has ever been surpassed in Greenville it is not in the of the writer. The pants were little tots, but the of a real marriage was never carried out with more grace and attractiveness than was shown by them. As might have been expected when an entertainment is given by the children, the audience was large, for the old folks, re member they were once child- themselves, feel a keen inter- est in what the little folks do. The curtain rose promptly at o'clock and the scene disclosed was a strikingly pretty was arranged to represent the in- of a church artistically de- for a marriage.

Then came the maid of honor, little Miss Helen Laughinghouse, dressed in blue empire gown and carried bouquet of roses. The bride, little Mis- Novella entered leaning upon the arm of Master Ferrall Burch, rep- resenting her father. She was robed in white with full train and veil and fan bride roses. She was a typical bride and pretty as a picture. Toe bridegroom, Muster Church- ill Hodge-, came with bis best man, Master David then the ceremony began.

Deal of All, d, M. died a one deal h of I lie quite sudden, be had been hi yesterday This m the sou Mrs. Cheek nave lost this year, and the Every teacher, before opening school, should have some general plan in his mind, of what he in- tends tr In every enterprise there is a great to be derived from fore- thought, aDd perhaps nowhere is the advantage greater than in the business of teaching. In older to aid me in forming for my self, I subjoin a scheme a adapted to my school of the simplest grades. My school consists of OW forty scholars and upon I that I could make four or five divisions or classes, the first I designated The first division which Consists of the more children, unite gram- mar, history, arithmetic, reading spelling etc. The second class pursue reading, writing, spelling, geography etc., the about the same work as the the children being younger though. The class consisting of smaller attend to reading, writing, spelling, and mental arithmetic. It is desirable that as time should be devoted t as can be afforded, It is ween certain studies as mental arithmetic and spell we cat. attend to at as seven. Sometimes after becoming better acquainted with our work, we can unite two of those divisions. All can be laughs a id drawing once, in way lime. Betide, it is to some time No. The exercises that require the greatest stress of mental effort should come in the earlier part of the day. The working power of the blind is at its best from nine till twelve, so a subject like arithmetic should come by pref- in the forenoon, while drawing, etc, might come later in the day. Provide alterations that afford rest or an agreeable change. To from an exercise in reasoning to where memory is involved, is an agreeable change, for a new mode of mental activity is play, while the one just employed ha- a period of rest. We should have as few clause as possible. By securing a of by conducting some recital ions by topic, by uniting two classes the same study by reducing the number of recitations some subjects to two or three a week, it is quite possible to relieve an over charged program. In every school consisting of pupils of ages and cur there will be more or less interruption to the order and employment of the school. Some of the pupils have never been trained to system at home, perhaps most of have PERSONALS AND SOCIAL. Kev. F. G. left Friday evening for LaGrange. J. I.
