GREENWOOD, S. C.--The Brewer Normal School, under the care of Mr. J. D. Backenstose, closed, June 26th, a successful year’s work. Examinations and exhibition were very creditable and largely attended. The annual address was delivered by the Rev. F. E. McDonald, on “Culture.” Ministers of other denominations, graduates of the school, and many prominent citizens, showed by their attendance, and expressed in words, their deep interest in the work and gratification with its results. ATLANTA, GA.--The teachers and students of Atlanta University contributed about $75 at their monthly missionary meetings during the past year, and have employed that sum in aiding the work of the National Temperance Society, from which they have received a large supply of the best temperance literature. As nearly 150 of the students are at present engaged in teaching summer schools, and nearly all enter into the temperance work, they will find such a supply a valuable help, and can give it wide and effective distribution. About an equal sum was given at weekly school meetings, and will be sent to aid mission work among the Indians. A State Teachers’ Association was organized in Atlanta, during commencement week, by the young colored teachers of Georgia. There was an attendance of more than one hundred, and all parts of the State were represented. The proceedings were dignified and appropriate, and wise and useful plans were set on foot for future action. A large portion of the participants were graduates of Atlanta University, and were in attendance upon its closing exercises. Rev. S. S. Ashley has resigned the care of the First Church in Atlanta, and Rev. Geo. E. Hill, of Marion, Ala., is supplying the pulpit during the summer. WOODVILLE, GA.--The Sabbath-school is growing, and God is with us. It is in a better condition now than ever before since its organization. Last Sunday we had both white and colored people, who came seven miles to our Sunday-school. The day-school has never been as prosperous as it is this year. Truly we ought to be thankful. Our Sunday night meetings have been crowded for some time. NEW ORLEANS, LA.--A very complete manual of the Central Congregational Church, neatly printed, is in our hands. The order of admission and of administration of the church is very complete. The present membership is 149. Rev. Walter S. Alexander has been pastor of the church as well as President of Straight University for the past three years. * * * * * GENERAL NOTES. The Indians.
