Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to extend thanks to all who are connected with the Beulah Land school. The people around Beulah Land have been extremely kind.to me, and I certainly appreciated their kindness. I have taught the above named school three years, and have tried to discharge my duty as near as I possibly could. I was very much attached to all of my pupils.My school closed Friday, the 25th of June, and those who stood on the Toll of honor were: Daisy Pickel, Jim Kemp, Ivy Corley, Mary Pickel, Mary Timmerman, Irola Timmerman, Addie Collins, Annie May Strom, Ollie Pickel, Eliza Timmerman, Bessie Ouzts, Gary Minor, Rufus Pickel, Hilda Harliug, Edgar Timmerman, Butler Minor, Melvin Timmerman, Hamp Minor, Eddie Duke. Jane Harling, Mamie Duke, Pearl Par-due and Jesse Timmerman.A large per centage of my school had to stop about the first of April and May to go in the field to work. I think I can safely say that the Beulah Land school will stand among the first in Edgefield county. This school being on the line between Edgefield and Greenwood, of course it will be broken up, owing to the division of the county. It is sad to think that my flock is scattered and I may never get them together again, but their names are planted in my memory, and I will love them wherever I go. I hope to see the day when every boy aud girl whom I taught at old Beulah Land will prove to be an honor to their parents and to their country.The three years I spent in teaching for the people at Beulah Land I boarded around among the patrons, starting with Mr. G. M. Timmerman, W. E. Harling, J. B. Pardue, N. W. Burton, Dr. J. H. Self, Mrs. M. C. Self, J. M. Minor, W. E. Duke, E. J. Pickel, Mr. Harris Kemp, Mr. Abuer Clegg, Mr. Robert Corley, Mrs. Anna V. Byrd, R. T. Strom, J. M. Logan, J. T. Ouzts, W. G. Collins, M. Parkman, and G. G. West. I shall always honor the above names, because I owe it to llll'lMiiii am obliged to say that the good community deserve more honor than the men. I wish the people around old Beulah Land great success. M. B. B., Jr.
