THE ACADEMY. The action of the Commissioner^ in electing Rev. C C. Spence as Principal of the ^0avnt sboio Academy meets the universal approval of our people. Our city possesses an ample number of chil dren to support the academy ; but with competent teachers, such ns are now to be placed in chorge, and the adop tion of a progressive sys era of education, the academy would at once control patronage sufficient from the county surrounding and adjoining counties to render Waynesboro one of the most important educational points in the State. A nd right here we must be al lowed to say, that it is the duty of ev ery parent and guardian concentrate their patronage upon the aoadeiny, so it may be enabled instantly to reach the highest point of usefulness. Mr Spence comes to us endorsed for char acter and capacity as an educator by the following distinguished gentlemen, whioh puts the grade of the school which we now have in prospect beyond a noradventure: Gov. Colquitt, Dr. Hay good, Compt. Gen. Wright, Prof. Stone, Prof. Calloway, Dr. Means, Judge llutohins and Hon. John F. Henderson. Besides the above strong endorsois of Mr. 8pence, we are permit ted to make publio the following letter from Rev. Dr. G. F. Pierce, whioh alone would have been sufficient: Monroe, Ga., Oct. 30, 1882. Maj. W. A. Wilkins—Dear Sir: My friend, Rev. Mr. Spence, I learn, applies for the sohool in Waynesboro. 1 beg to endorse bioa as a fit man, and * heartily recommend him to you. You will be pleased with him as a man, as a teiioher —as a preacher. I hope you wi 1 engage him, for I believe he will • l»o an acquisition to the community and the churoh. Youre truly, G. F. Pierce. —Go t*' Hsll « Restaurant where you can find the best 5 cent* cigar in town. —A horse belonging to Dr. Steiner was driven in town yesterday, (Friday] by a colored man, f om the Doctor s plantation, and just, between Evans it Thomas’ and W. McCatherns scores, he stopped, threw up his head, gazed at the engne at wo>k on the artesian well, feil to the ground and was dead in a few minutes. The question is what killed him 1 — We take the followin' from a Washington dispatch to the Atlanta Herald of he2dinst: “Thost S. B’anoh- ard has been commissioned postmaster at Waynesboro.” This announcement took our ent : re community by a sunrise, which has not been lessened by the statement of Mr. Grubbs, the present, incumbent, that he has not resigned and knows nothing about it. —We call attention to Dr. IJol- leyman’s new advertisement in to day's issue. I)r H'dlevman has a fuil line of drugs aud medicines for the s : ck. and for all diseases of this region he has the approved remedy. To the ladies be offers fine cologne, the most universally used perfume of the world. He also keeps on hand fine brands of oitrarsand tobacco. You a! I know Dr. Holleynmn. and know that when he advertises he means what he says; so read his adver tisement and call on him for what you need. —In auother column to-day will be found the advertisemeni of the old and long established furniture house of E G. Rogers, 549 Broad s reet. Mr Rogers invites our readers to call on him when they go to Augusta to buy furniture, and we can freely recommend Mr. R as a man at whose hands they will receive fair, horn st dealing. Mr. Rogers also keeps on hand a full line coffins, oasket*, etc., and we know of no place where you Can better suit yourself. Then remember the place, and give him a tiial. —-Dr. Polhill popped in on us a day or two ago, ami left a renewal of his stiver* tison.ent, which will be found in the usual place. And now, gentle reader, we advise you not to read that adver tisement, &nd ( caution you now hat be holds out every inducement to cause you to opend your money. But, if you will read his advertisement, we know of no oleverer gentleman or fairer deal- er with whom you can trade, if you are siok, he has the menicine to cure you ; if you love fine perfumes, he has them ; if your teeth are staiued, he has that whioh will whiten them; if your skin is tanned or frecked, his “bloom of youth” will mako it white and clear. Now you may read that advertisement. — We dropped into Mr. P. B. Hall’s restaurant last Saturday night, and were requested to take a seat. Not knowing what it all meant, we seated ourself to await future developments. A few minutes elapset}, when a couple of oyster stews, fixed up in Jim’s best style, were placed on the table before us and we and our business manager invited to test their qualities. Of course, we did ; and as each sucoooding oyster took its way * l to that bourne from whence no oyster return*,” it left a more lingering sens') of luxury upon the palate than the last. The meal over, we went into oouuuittee of the whole, and unanimously resolved that Hall fixed up the best oysters aud kept the nicest restuurant ever established in W aynesboro.
