This finishes another winter's work among the dear colored people, which
has been one of the happiest and most successful I have known for many
years.

THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA.

The Connecticut Normal and Industrial School, Thomasville. Ga., closed
its winter term, for a few days' vacation, on March 26th, with
appropriate exercises. The _Thomasville Daily Times_ says, "The growth
and management of the school is very gratifying to our people, and
everyone wishes it continued success and prosperity." The _Thomasville
Enterprise_ speaks of "the results of the seven sweet-faced patient lady
teachers," and adds, "If yesterday's exhibition was a fair sample of
what the pupils can do, the American Missionary Association, and the
corps of teachers it has employed, have not labored in vain; that a
great deal of hard, honest work has been done, was fully exemplified."

Again we are reminded that _Thomasville_ is not _Quitman_, and also of
the fact that Southern people are generally quite generous in their
appreciation of the work and the methods of our Association.
