Prof. Linn, principal of the Villa

an elocution contest.
Who ever saw the like of pretty
young ladies at a commencement—-
beautiful in face and attire? They
seemed to come from everywhere.
The Chinaman who is to lecture
next Wednesday night came from
Fanny J. Allen’s Anglo-Chipese col-
| lege in Shanghai, and is a student at
| Oxford.
You can buy a watch of any kind at
Selman & Duke’s at your own price for
the cash if you don’t believe it try them.
No one seemed to enjoy the com
mencement more than Mr. Upshaw, of
. Powder Springs. Though he goes on
crutches, he gets there. He was one
of the judges in one or two contests.
A Chinaman, now a student at Emery
Sjplege, whose American narno is “Bell,”
-aisigpi lecture in the Methodist Church in
Dooglasville on Wednesday night, 14th
tnismonth. His lecture will be on the
customs and ways of the Chinese. Lec
ture free.
The citizens of Douglasville did
nobly in entertaining the-large crowds
that thronged the place during com
mencement. Some had so many in-
% Rations they could not remember
them all.
Wanted Cattle To Pasture,—I
have two good pastures. Terms grown

*We are indebted to Rev. W. A.
Parks, pastor of the Douglasville
Methodist-church, for his faithful and
I accurate reports of the commence
ment exercises. Not to be a stenog
rapher, we think his reports of the
addresses of Mr. Witham, Dr. Haw
thorne and Sam Small very accurate
and extensive. We should think
Sam Small very hard to report, as he
speaks so rapidly. Thanks to Mr.
Parks. We asked for his pictmrfete

A severe storm visited this district the

It laid timbers prostrate, and blew a

from over a well on J. S. Giles’ place.
The storm was the worst known in this
part for many years past.
