OLIVE SPRINGS

The Olive Springs class of 22 visited Smyrna last Friday evening and was royally
enterained by Prof SYLVESTER and the students of his school.  The reading
contest ended in favor of Smyrna.  In the spelling contest between the two
schools 14 were on each side.  When the contest ended 11 of the Olive Springs
school remained standing, only three went down.  P M RICE was the last to go
down of the Smyrna school.  The patrons here are greatly pleased at the victory
won.  These spelling contests have caused hard study by the students of both
schools.
