FAREWELL TO SCHOOLMASTER.
(From a Correspondent.)
Somerset, Trinity Ville, Sept. 20.
—Immediately after the meeting of the Somerset Branch of the Jamaica Agricultural Society, held at the schoolroom on the 26th ult., at 3.30 p.m., a goodly number of parents, friends and children assembled to say good-bye to Mr. J. T. Black, who Is retiring from public service on his pension.
A song of welcome was rendered after which Mr. J . A. Telfer read the address which reads thus :--
To Mr. James Tyson Black,
The Somerset (Trinity Ville) Branch of the Jamaica Agricultural Society, together with the members of Ebenezer Church, and the whole of the Inhabitants of the Morgan's River Valley, as well as those of Mt. Lebanus, take this means of recording on the occasion of relinquishing the headmastership of the Lystra (Somerset) School the high esteem in which you are held by everyone in the district, and to assure you that you carry with you into your retirement and your well-earned rest, the best wishes of them all. They ask you to believe that it will be impossible for them ever to forget your long, faithful and arduous work amongst them, in your twenty-four years' charge of Somerset school; your wise and faithful counsel on so many occasions, your labours in connection with Ebenezer, your constant endeavours for the betterment and the uplift of the district, and the most able manner in which you have discharged the duties of President of the Somerset branch of the Jamaica Agricultural Society. Such an example it is felt, will remain as a pattern and an incentive for every one. They desire to associate with you Mrs. Black and your family in their wishes for your future—that you may be long spared to one another and that you may enjoy the best of health and tranquility and happiness for many years to come. With this record, which has been engrossed by one of them, they ask for your kind acceptance of a small purse which they cannot but feel is a very inadequate expression of the esteem and respect in which you are held by each and all of them.
