069 the charge of Mr Chas. W. McMahon opened its session on the 21st of September and is in a very flourishing condition under his efficient management. The freedpeople at Tower Hill in this county under the Auspices of Mr. A. Varner are building a new house for school purposes but lack means to complete it. These gentlemen deserve great credit for their energy and zeal in the work. At both of the above named places church services are held regularly and largely attended Good order is observed. I have seen no intemperance among the freedmen of this county and do not think this evil exists to any extent. The freedmen appear comfortably clad as a general thing.
