Democratic Convention, In pursuance of a resolution passed by tho Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Elberty county, on tho 24th of June, 187 G, a Convention is tilled to meet at Elberton on the 4th Saturday in July. Said Convention to consist of three delegates from each Militia District .■looted at tho various election precincts on the 3rd Saturday in-July.

It will also bo tho duty of said Con vention to elect a now Executive Com mittco of tho Democratic party. The members of the party will please attend promptly to this call, for tho is sues at stake aie too precious to be lightly estimated. We have but to do our duty fearlessly and victory is ours. Emory P. Edwards, President. John p. Shannon, See’y pro tcm. Ease-Ball. Tuesday night last our ears were ab most) deafened by the loud song and joyful exclamations of a party of gen tlemen travelling in a wagon. At first we were at a loss to account for their merriment, but immediately remember : ing the game of ball to lip played the next day by the Elberton boys, wo do cided that it must be the players, who fresh from tho concert and their lady loves, at one o’clock were merrily wend ing their.way to tho scene of next day’s sport. Anxiously did wo desire that such pluck should bo rewarded with success, but what did befall them we relate as was told us by our reporter who made ■one of the party. . The boys traveled all night, enlivening their journey with loud hurrahs, and gladsome songs and reached Crawford .at nine o'clock. Hero they wero met by a committee of Crawford boys who took forcible possession of the entire party, mules, wagons and all, and divid ing them among themselves, soon pro vided each Base Ballist with a smoking breakfast, most acceptable to the jaded travelers. Each member of the Elberton party then sought to refresh their weaiied • persons by sleep, but to few did the god of slumbers vouchsafe his presence. At o’clock, p. nr. the two clubs mot promptly on the field, the Empires‘un der tho lead of their Captain, J. E. Davant, and the Varieties headed by their Captain, J. F. Cheney, each num Bering a full club of ten men. Tho Empires presented a beautiful ■appearance in their tasty blue and white uniforms, though every countenance had a per,foot sleepless appearance. Tho Varieties with blue and red uni form seemed as bright and fresh as the morning star, and as confident of tho r ntest as “the love-lorn swain in maid en’s bower, waits the coming of the ap nointed hour.” . Mr. Hodgson, of Athens, was chosen umpire, choice for positions won by the Varieties, who took the field and sent the Empires to the bat. The first inning each sido played bad ly, tho Varieties scoring six: and tho Em pires five. Immediately though each club went to business proper, and the score gradu ally increased against tho Elbertonians ,until the seventh inning, at the begin ning of which the Varieties stood 21, and. the Empires, 10. Exercising all their skill in the remaining thiee innings tho Empires scored 8, and whitewashed the Varieties thrice. This though eauio too late, foi\the,scorors,|Col. P. E. Davant and Mr. Norton announced the result to be Varieties 21, Empires 18. So our boys were beaten after riding .30 miles at night in a wagon to play their adversaries, but they gracefully ac cepted the situation, and deputised John P. Shannon to present the Varieties the Bat and Balh thejtrophiesof their victory. Mr. R. D. Stokely was the member entitled io .them on account of having made the largest number of runs, and Capt. Cheney accepted them for him in a few timely remarks. The Empires were not content with their defeat, but challenged tho Varieties for another game iiejxt morning, who declined but promised to play them again soon. Tho game was a close and very inter esting one, and was witnessed by about 150 persons, including many of the fair sex. . The Empires are loud in their praise of Crawford hospitality, and most ar dently desire that the Varieties will visit them soon, and fight the battle ovei again, promising to entertain .them as best they can in a game, and .an irneut endeavor to return tlmir many liiud aiesses and hospitalities. We echo tho invitation and say come .on, Crawford, .and looE well to your laurels. __ By the latest papers Coiquitt has 173 wotes—lacking three of a majority. The Commencement. The commencement of the Elberton Female College on Tuesday of last week, was a most agreeable affair, taking by surprise many who were present and who expected to see the usual tame affairs of country schools. The accora plished lady in charge of tho institute, Mrs. S. E Capers, has shown most con clusively that she has a perfect faculty for .governing children. Everything worked like clock work; there was noth ing tame; no mediocrity; all simply perfect. Even tho choruses by the smaller and intermediate classes were as perfect and attractive as the most fin ished essay read on the occasion. Each child knew tho part to be enacted, and each one acted as though success de pended upon her exertions. The essays read by the young ladies were as good as they could be for this or any other school or college, and tho reading was not a whit behind any in stitution of learning in the State. When we say there was not an indifferent es say or one indifferently read we speak what is simply true. A committee to award the prize to the best reader found it extremely difficult to reduce the num ber of best reader to less than five, and finally would not consent for less than two to receive prizes. This fact will give some idea of the character of tho reading. The able literary address by Elbert’s honored son, Mr. E. M. Rucker was a production worth of that accomplished gentleman, in whom every citizen of El bert feels a natural pride. At the conclusion of the reading by the young ladies of tho two societies of the school—Thalian and Calliopean—a poem inscribed to the Thalians, written by a young lady member thereof, was read by J. P. Shannon, Esq. The poem showed depth of thought worthy of a lady of more mature years than the one wo hear the authorship attributed to. It was an excellent production, and its au thor, we predict, will one day occupy a high position among the authors of the future. We append a full programme of the essays as read j Glass—Greeting Glee. Miss S. Fortson—Unconscious heroes. Miss I. Vail— -Queen Fashion. Miss N. Heard—Seek not to know the future. Miss F. Clark—Tho advantage of a scientific compared with a classical edu cation. Miss V. Osborn—True heroism Miss B. Capers—“Tempora mutantur, ct nos cum lllis mirtamur.” Miss I. Power—The sea hath its pearls and the heart its love. Miss A. Auld—Progress. Miss A Harper—The source and influ ence of the poetic. Miss M, Capers—Who is a gentleman? Miss L. Haslett —“Labor ornna vin cit.” Miss A. Lanoston—.-All that is bright and beautiful must fade. Miss A. Anderson—ldeas Miss S. Shannon—Spirit of the ago. . Miss S. Worley-—Man’s true great ness. Miss ill. Brewer —Eloquence in word and deed. Miss N. Jones —Is it neeeesary to erect costly monuments to the dead ? Miss V. Hammond—What shall my po sition bo ? Miss S. Grogan—The present. Col. E. M. Rocker —Address. Wo venture tho assertion that there was no one present on the occasion— and tho house was intensely crowded— but felt thoroughly convinced that tho able preceptress was eminently fitted lor the position she fills, and the pros pect of a large attendance at tho fall term has been greatly enhanced. Tho fall term of the school will begin on tho first Monday in September. A New Mill. Capt. D. B. Cade, of Petersburg, this county, is making, preparations to build this fall, on the Wilkes side of Broad liver, near the village of Petersburg, a largo and well equipped corn and wheat mill. The basement story will be of rock, and two stories of brick; size 30 by 45 feet, 14 feet between joists. Tho mill will bo turned by two line turbine wheels, and tho machinery of the inte rior will be of Hie most approved make. i ififr ♦ r Good Summer Weather. Wo were favored last week in this locality with some genuine summer weather —the ilierinometer reaching 9G in the shade cn Saturday. Rain is bad ly needed in Some localities. We bear of local rains in some parts of tho county. - -- - The District Meeting. This meeting commences in Elberton on Wednesday next, and from reports the number .of visitors and delegates will bo very large. Tiro latch string will hang outside tho door, and all in ay ex pcct a hearty Elbert welcome. — - ♦ <► A Small Pox Scare. Some feeling was manifested in this neighborhood last week by the report of a case of small-pox in tho Goose Pond settlement of Oglethorpe county ; but after inquiry wo believe the alarm is unnecessary—that it was not small-pox. A Large Yield. The champion gardener and grass manipulator of Elberton claims that he raised from one potato -o-ne and five eighths bushels of potatoes. The seed used was of the Early Rose variety., and had twenty-tlmee eyes, ninetcea of which come up. Drowned. A -negro mam was drowned in tho Sa vannah last Thursday while attempting to swim from the Carolina to the Geor gia side. Name unknown. .. ♦<o ♦ - - The communication of “Random H. String came to hand too late for inner , tion this week The Concert. Decidedly the affair of the season was the exhibition of Mrs Capers’ school, closing with a delightful concert by that accomplished musician, Mrs. T. J. Hes ter, assisted by ber pupils, who evince a thorough knowledge of music. Most if not all of theso young ladies have been entirely under the instruction of Mrs. Hester, and consequently much credit is reflected upon her by. the brilliancy of performance { and faithfulness of execu tion rendered by her pupils. Mrs. H. is unexcelled as a musician anywhere, and lias never been equaled in our com munity. The evening of tlio concert was in tensely warm, but the oppressive heat did not prevent the house from being crowded to overflowing, and I never saw as large an audience more attentive than the one on that occasion. The entertainment was opened with an instrumental piece executed by Miss Cora Edwards, accompanied by Master Lamar Hester, who with his drum kept excellent time, proving that the gifted mother’had transmitted somo of tier ge nius to her boy. To attempt to criticise Mrs. H’s. per form? nee would be “vanity of vanities,” it would be like an attempt to paint the rose, polish the lily, or to add perfume to the violet. The first strains vibrated through tho house and the audience were spell bound by the electrical power it is ill's. Hester’s privilege to exercise. Miss Janie Tate rendered the “Carni val of Venice” with matchless' skill and effect, and wonder not as wo gazed into the depths if her blight eyes that wc dreamed of moonlight, Venice, a gon dola, love, and a dark eyed maid. - The “Dance of the Fairies” under the skillful touch of Miss Mi llie Brewer, made one feel almost as if in the pale of enchantment ho was being whirled through the mazes of the magic dance, with Miss B. as queen of the fairies. “Falling Waters” fell so sweetly from the fingers of the charming Miss Mcln tosh that we felt the inspiration that caused the immortal Shakespeare to pen* the decree against the man that had “not music in his soul.” Miss Nora Jones now sang “Darling” with a sweetness that ever characterizes her voice. “Christmas Bells” rang merrily from the piano under Miss Lizzie Haslett’s touch. “La Season Galop” was executed with inimitable grace and effect by [Miss Langston. Anil now the bright, merry little blonde, Miss Cora Edwards, sang the “Style of the Day.” There is decided musical talent in that little sylph. Her voice is clear and musical, and every word of her song could be heard throughout the house. There was but one opinion respecting her, that she was gifted by nature and well cultivated by Mrs, H. Nov; “O’er the Waters” was snngjry tho intelligent and accomplished Mrs. Tate, who with her guitar and soft lute toned voice made sweet music for us. Misses Mclntosh and Tate sang “O’er Hill and O'er Dale” with delightful SWO6irU6S3.' “The Old Home Ain’t What it Used to Be,” by Mr. L. H. O. Martin was splendid, the gentlemen’s chorus in which many voices blended in “concord of .sweet sounds” added much to the song. Mrs. Hester sang with her unrivaled soprano that fine operatic piece “Hear Me, Norma.” When I say Sirs. H. play ed and sang, I convey all that it is pos sible for me to express. You who have been fortunate enough to hear her at once ki ow how to appreciate the utter impossibility of Soing her justice with a mere pencil- sketch. With her, music , though understood thoroughly as a sci ence, is rendered under the inspiration of genius ; aud proves itself only the echoes of her noble soul. Misses Wilhite and Mattie VanDuzer played a duet very sweetly ; indeed eve ry member of tho class acquitted them selves with credit. The closing scene arranged by Mrs. H. was beautiful in the extreme. Miss Brewer, representing America, dressed in pure white, covered with glit tering stars, Vi blue scarf .spangled fas tened gracefully over her shoulder, bear ing the American flag, came first, and sang oh! so delightfully “Red, White, and Blue.” Then Miss Lizzie Haslett presented herself as Germany, and she was decid edly German, dress, manner and all. She favored us with that sweet German air “The Watch on fixe Rhine.” She was followed immediately by Miss Nora Jones, as France She was attir ed in white brocade siljk with an over dress of pink, spangled. Her costume was elegant, evincing that exquisite taste of selection and combination that aj ways renders Miss Nora effective, but lior dress, though in keeping with per feet harmony and cleganoe, was naught compared with that voice that warbled like the nightingale “The Marsellaiso”—- it “thrilled me, filled me,” with a delight scarce felt before. There is a volume, a deep pathos in tlie voice of Miss Nora that all must feel and own. Crusty old bachelor that I am, I must confess that Miss N. J., with those large, earnest, matchless brown eyes that look into *your very soul, that winsome, child-like grace that is an inherent part of her nature, and that wonderful voice touch ed a chord in my heart that awoke a melody akin to love. lam no novelist, but if ever I should become one, Miss N. is my hejoine. (Pardon the digression.) Next in order came Miss Langston, as Switzerland. A perfect type of a Switzer she was, her dress, features, manner, carried us unconsciously away to the far off land of the ‘Sublime and beautiful. Her song “Tha Switzer Faro well” was as sweej; 4be Swisa girl looked. Now, Miss Anderson came out in the Highland costume, representing Scot land, and singing as sweetly as a Scotch lassie might her .own •‘'Coming Thro’ tho Rye.” Miss Lizzie Clark now concluded ibis ! beautiful episode of the evening by rep resenting “Tho Lost Cause.” Clad in pure white, she presented the dear old j stars and bars, our thrice hallowed flag, j rent and worn sadly. Reverentially, she | i planted it in front of the stage, then i taking a position quite near it,, she re j hearsed in a voice of touching sweetness 1 Father Ryan’s immortal poem “The j Conquered Banner " It is impossible ! for me to convey an idea of the touch- j ing beauty of the scene, or the exquisite ; style in which the poem was repeated. I for my part wept like a child—wept tears as holy as the remembrance of our lost though honored cause. The piano struck up its enlivening Dixie as tho rehearsal was concluded, and the concert was oyer. Spectator. Here and There, Blackberries are fleeting. The average Elberton Romeos and Juliets recline under the umbrageous foliage of the apple trees and wonder at the wisdom of Newton. The correct time can be ascertained it is said, by calling on a certain professor of town who set his watch by a steam gnage in Crawford last week. The E. F- C. commencement and tho concert are over, and great successes they were. The first nine of the Empires still live and flourish, although they were re cently defeated. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Deadwyler, again exhibited that cleverness last week that have always characterized them to tlje young people about town by allowing them to have a party at their residence which was weighted with pleasure and full of interest. The rendition of “The Conquered Ban per” by one of Elberton’s fairest daugh ters at the concert last week was simply plus quanj perfectum. Some of our commencement lovers have gone to Oxford. Domeracesolfado is all tho go in town this week- The singing school is in full blast "The Y. M. C. A. still continues to con vene. ■ Mr. William H. Harper, one of our townsmen, this season made from one Irish potato planted in his garden one and five-eighths bushels. Who can beat it ? Lumber is being hauled for tho com mencement of tho work on the Metho dist church. The Commissioners had a call meeting last Monday. Our handsome young friend, Mr. I G. Swift, has just returned from a commer cial school in Baltimore. He took a lit tie centennial in his’n before he came back. “Oh! that watermillion 1 lainb of goodness,” liow hot! The second Empire nine in their red shirts and white pants, present a strik ing appearance. The approaching district conference js the principal topic of conversation now. It commences here next Wednesday, tho 26th. Well, the boys wouldn’t have cared so much about it, but then you kno%y they lost all those fine champagne and cigars that had been promised them by certain gentlemen. The decoration of the academy for the entertainment last Tuesday displayed unquestionable taste. “To err is human, to confess divine,” is wbat the Elberton boy said when lie was cornered in a watermelon patch the other day, with no possible chance of escape. Times dull, money scarce, but tbe weather icy in temperature, so why fret! There’s music in the air around here now, manufactured by Prof. Douthet’s band, Charlie Seidel, our Hartwell corres pondent was in to see us Monday. His loss of flesh and thin appearance occa sioned by the warm weather, made us feel ever so sad. We don’t have any idea that he now weighs at most over 299 J pounds. The curtains left in the academy the other night were stolen. Mr. J. Z Little proposes to leave El berton about tho first of August on a tour through this and neighboring coun ties for tho purpose of overhauling and repairing cotton gins. His experience at the business will boa guarantee of the work being well done. Ho will be accompanied by an accomplished young gentlemen who will receive orders for enlarging pictures.

Anew and interesting art has recently been introduced to the public called “Decalcomanie,” or Transfer Pictures.
