Holly Springs, Miss., August 6.— The old Coxe place, which was used by Gen. Grant as his headquarters while bere during the war, has been sold to J. W. Abston, a Memphis cotton man.

Leafert, a farmer aged 50, liviog four miles west cf this city, commit- ted suicide early this morning by drowning himeelf in a pond of water near his residence.

To raise the neceseary to make the needed improvements, the ladies of the different denominations worshiping in the building have de cided to g.ve a moonlight social or picvic on the church lawn next Tuee- day neght, the 17th inst. A supper will be spread and those attending will not only have a pleasent time, but will get valuo received for every nickel they leave to the church im- provement fund. All are invited and a special invitation is extended to the young folks of Butler and Adrian to be present. Attend the social and contribute liberally that the church building may be made comfortable and lcok invitiog. d b P Pi h The Teachers’ Institute. The Institute opened at the West School building in Butler on Monday the 2nd inst., with an attendance of 120 on first day, which number has been increased to about 140 at the beginning of second week. The in- structors are laboring hard to make this session one of the most interest- ing and profitable gatherings of the kind ever held in our county, and from remarks made by teachers in attendance, we judge that their work is fully appreciated. Besides the class work of the school room, a course of lectures are being given at the Baptist church on appropriate educational topics. Miss Ludwig, of the Rich Hill College, gave an inter- esting talk on the subject of the edu- cation of youth in Ancient Greece, which was highly instructive and listened to with intense interest. We are glad to note onc new feature of the present session, i. e. the meeting of the members of the Institute each | morning at 7:45 for a brief devotional } exercise under the general direction | of Rev. Inlow, assisted by the clergy of our city. These exercises are prov- ing to be of great interest and are quite largely attended by the teach- ers. The fact that a majority of them | voted for this short religious service at this early hour, speaks yolumes for the moral and religious character of our teachers, and of the pure and jlofty sentiment to be disseminated |through our public schools. Butler will be benefitted by the presence of | the comely and intelligent lady teach- ers and the manly and courteous gentlemen in attendance atthe Insti- j tate. We hope our citizens will do all ,in their power to make their stay in lour town pleasant, and encourage | them to seek still higher attainments in their chosen calling.
