In all parts of the county the negroes have paid more or less at- tention to the securing of school houses, and to the education of their children. Especially is this true at Abbeville. In 1868 the negro Methodists built a good school house, erected a large and commodious house ot worship, and put up a comfortable parsonage. In after years the negro Presbyte- rians, namely: Shedrick Lesly, George M. Richey, George W Smith, Lewis P. Richey, William A LITTLE OFF. The removal of Peter H.

We make no com- ment, being one of the victims of the shake, but leave it to our read ers whether we have or have not been justly dealt with.— Chicago Conservator, their religious belief, and this step induced the turther step of establishing a separate school. Mr. Williams went North in De- cember of the same year, and after three months of labor among the white Presbyterians ot the North, succeeded in securing the sum of $1,500 which was supplemented by $500 from the Board of Church Erection in the city of New York ‘This sum was further supplement- ed by sums received from white and colored people at home. With this money a handsome eburch and schoo! house combined was built on a suitable lot in town. Tue building was finished and opened one year after tbe organi- zation of the congregation. ‘The school was opened in January, 1882, by Mrs. Williams, the wife oft: e pastor, who before her mar- riage had a large and extended experience as teacher in the pub- he schools of Washington, D. C. The school has been thoroughly graded, and this year quitea num- ber of the scholars passed excellent examinations in grammar, history, geography, arithmetic, and other branches usually taught in the common schools, ‘The daily aver- age attendim-e at the school is absut sixty-tive scholars. ‘he teacher is puid by the parevts of the children who supplement the amount which is received from from the Presbyterian Board of M:ssions for Freedmen. This school receives no benetit whats ever from the public fuid, except, at such times when the attendance is so large that en assistant teach- er is necessary. The object at first was simply to su-tuin a small parochial school as an auxiliary to their church, but the success of theschoo! under Mrs. Williams’ most excellent Management has been so great that the McClellan Presbytery, comprising twelve counties in the upper part of this State, has decid- ed to make Abbeville an educa- tional centre for negro children of both sexes. ‘To further this end, Mr, Will‘ams went north again in 1885, to raise moncy to assist in ere-ting a schoul building of larger and mre exten-ive dim n- sions which would tetter supply the demund fur the proposed insti- tation.

The foundation has beendug. A hun- dred thousand bricks have already been burnt for the work. It is proposed to aceommodate at least three hundred children of both sexes.

Poplar Grove, Md., June 30, 86. Mr. Etlitor: I take pleasure in announcing through your journal that on last Sabbath, the 27th inst., we organized a Sunday Schocl in our neighborhood known as the “Poplar Grove Bup- tist Suuday School.” Messrs. Al- exander Hamilton and A. A. Latt, both of Washington D. C., were present with us on the occa- sion. Mr. Hamilton is one of the most energetic and thoreugh going Sunday School workers we have. We trust the Lord will make him an instrument iu helping to raise fallen humanity from moral dark ness to the glorious light of the gospel. Poplar Grove village is very beautifully located. The scenery, for miles around, as far as the eye can behold, is pleasing to the sight. The people on an average, are in a prosperous condition, and are uot lacking in that magna- nimity of heart which character- izes all lovers of humanity and especially the humble disciples of the Lord Jesus. Poplar Grove S.S. was voted in us a full member of the Baptist Sunday School Uniov, of wuich Mr. Hamiltoa is now president. Very respectfully, Vindex.
