Complimentary,
We thank our friend of the Reporter for tho
complimentary notice of last week. He is right
in saying that the Vox .Clionis is “one of the
features” of our Commencement. We wish un
bounded success to the Repoiter, for well doeB
it merit the encomiums of “Prize Weekly,”
“Splendid,” “Neatest and Best Conducted,”
“First Class,” “Sprightly and ably edited," and
other words of praise. It always, receives, on
its weekly visits to the S. F. C. a cordial wel-
oomo.— Vox Clionis.
And we thank our young cot6mporary, the
Vox, for its good opinion, and reciprocate its
good wishes.
LaGrange High Scliool.
This building is progressing. Mayor Cren
shaw is giving the work his personal supervision,
and is determined that it shall be well done. It
is time for our oitizens to awake to a greater in
terest in this school. A teaoher will soon have
to be chosen, and it is important that a first-
class man should be seleoted. LaGraugo is one
of the best locations in Georgia for a large male
school of high grade, aud it is all-important
that when the school opens next fall it shall be
under a teacher who is not only competent to
manage it, but able also to bring patronage from
abroad. We want a teacher with a reputation
already made. * The Mayor aud Counoil are
fully alive to the importance of this matter, and

Commencement ICxerefac*.
Last Bunday ltcv. J. If. Hall, of Nownan,
preaohod tho Commencement Sermon at tho
Baptist ohureh His text was from Isaiah 0:0 —
His Name Shall bo called Wonderful." Said
tho preacher, in substanco : Tho spirit of in
spiration looks ovor inattor and mind in select
ing a naino lor tho Son of God. And, as if
tlioy furnish no ndequato tide, llo brings down
uamos from hcavon, and says ovor tho child :
Tho mighty God, tho everlasting father, tho
Priuoo of peaco.” Christ is beforo us as the
Wonderful.
Christ is wonderful in Himself iu Ilis por-
sou; Ho is Human and Divine. But His dual
nature covers tho doepor and broader truth of
IIis wonderful character iu Ilis mediation be
tween humanity aud divinity.
Ilo elaborated tlio idea of tho wonderful char
acter of Christ, aud treated it under three heads:
Ho is wonderful as tho modium of knowledge
botween man and God; Ho is wonderful as the
medium ol sympathy betwoeu man aud God;
Ho is wonderful as tho medium of life between
man and God.
Iji Ireating tho subject, Mr. Ilall showed most
lomarkablo powers of analysis; his lauguago
was very chasto and appropriate, and his
thoughts were evidently tho iruit of study and
rosoarch. His hearers were all most favorably
impressed. Tho sermon preaohod by him at
night was distinguished by tho siuno character
istics.
Wo cannot forbear complimenting tho lino
music furnished by tho choir both in tho morn
ing and evening. Miss Moore, of Grifliu, an
alumna of the college, was present and added
no little to tho beauty of the singing.
TIm; Junior Exhibition.
This took placo ou Monday morning, begin
ning at ten o’clock. Tlio hall was well filled.
President Cox announced that reading of the
Juniors was a voluntary matter; that those wore
allowed to read who wished to do so; aud also
that tho readers were allowed to take their
choico betwoeu reading extracts aud original
compositions.
Alter prayer and music, Miss Annie Calla
way, of Wilkes county, read an essay on the
subject “A Paradox.” There are paradoxes iu
nature, science, art, &c., but there is one which
is as old as the days of Adam and Eve. Love is
that paradox, aud tho readi r told what life
would bo without it. Love is anything you
please; it is tho heavon of bliss or tho hell of
torture. It is a tyrannical passion which none
can escape. Lovo assumes various phases at
different times of life—wo do not love at eight
een as wo do at forty. Different people love
differently, but they are alike iu one thiug—all
lovers are supremely ridiculous. Iu early youth
tho passion is very romantic; youth passes and
more mature j’ears cause tho lover to smile at
his younger fancies. At twenty or twenty-one,
love becomes a serious matter, for thou it means
matrimony. Tho reader closed with a beauti
ful apostrophe to love.
Miss Ida M. Logan, of Marietta, read an es
say ou the subject “Music iu all Things.” Mu
sic is more eloquent than words. Many famous
waters tell us that it has restrained the wild
beasts of tho forest. It exalts joy aud rfbothes
sorrow. Our whole life is made up of music,
Tho bee and all the insects of the field and
forest make music; so do tho murmuring wind
and tho merry songsters of tho grove. Tho tur
bid river sings a deep bass, and accompanies
tho roar of tho cascade till it reaches tho
When nature is at war, what tremendous music
is made in the turious storm aud tho thunder
ing earthquakes ! Walking through the forest,
our ears are filled with tho sad aud solemn mu
sic of nature, aud our souls with most serious
lessons. Who can tell tho thrilling ellect of
“Dixie" ou the boys who wore the groj\ There
are countless things iu our lives that make mu
sic to the soul and tho ear.
Miss Alice Howard, of Atlanta, read an ex
tract “The Two Roads.” It told of a man,
looking back to his youth, when he was at the
entrance of two roads iu life, one pleasant and
sunlit, and the other dark and gloomy. ^ lu his
anguish at having made tho fatal mistake ot
taking tho wrong road, ho culled ou his youth
to return that ho might choose the better way;
but he found, when too lute, that tho sad days
of wasted lilo could not be restored, aud his
lost youth was lost forevor.
Miss Lizzie Howard, of Atlanta, read that
beautiful poem,
“ llock of Ages cleft for mo,
Thoughtlessly a Maiden sung.”
She read in a plaintive voice which accorded
fittiugly with tho spirit of the poem.
Miss Lizzie Trammell, ot Cussotn, Ala., read
an extract “A Pleasant Surprise.” It was the 1
story of a young student who, walking with his
professor, and seeing a laborer’s shoes by the
wayside, proposed to hide them for a surprise.
Iustead, however, ho was induced by his teach
er to place a gold sovereign in each of them.
The poor rnuu’s joy was made the occasion of
inculoatiug a lesson on the blessedness of doing
good.
Miss Mattie Brady, of LaGrange, read an
essay on tho subject “A Thiug of Beauty is a
Joy Forever.” Nothing is truer than this line
of tho poet, which has been so constantly quot
ed ever since it was written. Tho beautiful
conceptions ot poets, the charming slories of
fiction and legends of romance, are all produc
tive of highest emotions of joy, and are never-
dying iu their results. The reader drew a pic
ture of a beautiful babe, sleeping in the glori
ous light of morn; but soon tho cherub of tho
earth is transplanted to become a seraph iu the
skies. Can tho mother’s heart cease to love the
baby-augel? “Once,” continued she, “I knew
a maiden fair and lovely. She was led as a bride
to tho oltar. Iu that brief tiqie she had stamp
ed in her lover’s heart an im.rge nyver to be ef
faced.” Works of art livo long after the painter
has mouldered into dust, and the lyugli stone
of tho quarry speaks of the divine art of tho
sculptor when he is no more. The most beau
tiful of all works ate those of tho Creator.
Miss Jennie Smith, of Ilogansville, recited a
poem on “The death of Lee.” It was a beauti
ful poem, aud was read with distinctness, em
phasis and appreciation.
Miss Eddie Brady, of LaGrange, read one of
Will Carleton’8 poems, “The Old Deacon’s La
ment.” It was quaint and humorous, aud the
reader, entering properly into the spirit of it,
kept the audience amused and entertained to
the end. She read it well.
Miss Julia Swanson, of LaGrange, read
“Casa Wappy,” a pathetio poem, a lament over
the death ef a little boy whose pet name, sug
gested by himself, was “Casa Wappy.” Miss
Swanson’s reading was excellent.
Miss Lettie Ball, of LaGrauge, than whom
do one is better qualified for a spirited recita
tion, road an extract “Ours.” It was a story of
a rich widower who married a lovely widow.
Speaking of “my farm," ho was corrected by
his loving spouse and mado to say “our* farm."
Then it is told how ho would ask “where is our
razor, love; our beard is getting long.” “Dear,
won’t you please sow this rip iu our breeches/’
&c. t &.o. Moral: people should have it under
stood, before marriage, to whom tho property
will belong.
Miss Mattie Hardy, of LaGrange, read a
composition on “Life.” Some time since, she
saw the marriage of a friend published iu a pa
per; six months afterward she noticed the death
of the same person published in the same paper.
This was a brief tale of life. Life seems contin
ually burlesquing itsolf, and one-half of it seems
to bo contradicting tho other. Man can immor-
we understand will soon call a meeting of tho
oitizens to take action iu the matter. LaGrange talizo all things oxoept himself. When will
should bo fully awake to tho importance of man learu the all-important lesson of his own
Starting tho school right. I iusiguifloaueo? Shall wo then, boeausa of tho
uncertainly of life, and tho futility of man’s ef
forts to oontrol it, proclaim tho doctrine, “Eat,
drink aud be morry, for to-morrow wo die?”
No, thoro is ono grand reality in life—our duty.
Fulfilling this, tho misfortunes and evils of
life will ceuse to bo such, and will become bless
ings.
Tho noxt roader, Miss Jennie McMurray, of
LaGrange, was excused.
Miss Leila Maxwell, of Coosa county, Ala.,
read an extract “Little Will.” It was a sad
story of a littlo friendless boy who was run over
by a cart in tho street of a city, and taken to a
hospital. There, while inoaniug with pain at
night, a littlo girl in a neighboring cot told him
that Jesus loved him and died for him. He de
cided that ho would hold up his hand so that
Jesus might not puss hitu, and iu the morning
was found with his hand raised over his head—
dead.
The last reader was Miss Alice Fitzgerald,
of Stewart county, who read an essay on
“Every-day Sculpture.” IIow often have men
gazed on tlio matchless marbles of Fruxiteles
aud Augelo. It might bo supposed that only a
favored lew could accomplish what theso and
their liko have done. Bui wo aie all sculptors,
aud every day wo are hacking away witli what
tools wo have. Wo givo littlo thought to the
material we work on, and less to the result, but
that is of momentous importance. Wo are
forming characters for eternity—our own and
others. Wo are not awaro ot our influence. It
is like a stone cust into a lake; the ripplos widen
till they reach the shoro. So our acts aud their
influence expaud till they break on the shoro of
eternity. Sometimes thinking we aro not our
brothel’s keeper, we help to ruiu him. Unlike
tho sculptor, wo cannot modi 1 our work in clay
aud then perpetuate it iu marble; but once done
it is done lorever. Not planets, but trifles light
as air, mould tho destiny of men. We should
strive to t-o carve our own and others’lives, that
the Great Sculptor will say at the end, “Well
done, good anil faithful servant.”
After music, lion. Albert II. Cox, of La
Grauge, was introduced as tho orator of the oc
casion. Ilis subjoct was “Sentiment,” and as
we expect to request a copy of it for publication
next week, wo shall simply say it was one of the
most eloquent speeches wo ever heard. We
should bo gl.id to publish it this week, but have
not room.
The Exhibition Monday Night.
Monday night was performed a beautiful oper
etta, entitled “Fortune’s Caprice.” We givo
below a brief synopsis of this operetta :
Acr 1. Mrs. Joliuson, a poor widow, tells of
her trials. Her two daughters, Stella and Ella,
sent out to sell socks and make collections to
pay off rent, aro unsuccessful, aud ou their re
turn aro treated rudely by certain girls, kindly
by others. Mr. Jacob Grinder, a heartless land
lord, notifies Mrs. J. that her rent, now nearly
due, must be promptly met.
Act 2. The Fairies sporting in a forest, are
reminded by Puck, the queen’s page, that two
children approach. Tho fairies become invis
ible and watch them. Ella and Stella enter
the dell vacated by tho faiiies. Admiring the
scene they wish their mother with them. The
lairy queen, in pity, resolves to enrich their
mother. Putting the girls to sleep, their May
flowers are turned to gold by Puck.
Act 3. Jacob Grinder at bis office rails at
tho rascality of debtors and hard times. Ben
evolent ladies call on him for contributions,
but aro rudely repulsed. Mrs. Griuder, recent
ly married, and daughter, call on him for a
largo sum of money with which to visit the
Springs. Mr. G. refuses, but Mrs. G. com
pels him to give tho mouey. Grinder’s solilo-
quy.
Act 4. Village girls enjoying a picnic, are
interrupted by Jacob Grinder, who is uncere
moniously marched Irom the grounds by tho in-
diguaut girls. Stella and Ella enter with their
money which they carelully conceal till they
get homo, but invito tho girls home with
them, and they accept.
Act 5. Mrs. Johnson is informed by Griuder
that tho rent must come, or she will instantly be
put in the stroet. The girls enter. The excite
ment over tlio gold. Jacob Grinder paid off,
retires with tho execrations of all. They re
solve to go wheio the gold was found to solve
tho mystery.
Act G. The fairies hear from Puck how
the flowers wore turned to gold. Tho children
enter tho fairy dell, expressing a desire to see
a fairy. Tho queen of the fairies gratifies them.
The act closes with the crowning of tho lovely
Stella and Ella by the fairy queen herself.
And so everything is serene aud lovely.
Mrs. Johnson was represented by Miss Jessie
McWhorter, a fine actress. Misses Jennie
■Smith aud Maggie Thompson acted tho two
daughters as natural as life. Miss Emma Har
well made a most beautiful fairy queen, and
her group of retainers in turtleton and tinsel
were us pretty as need be; iu fact there was an
real humanity about them which made them
lovelier than ideal fairies could possibly be.
Little Eddie Heard was as sprightly a Puck as
one would wish to see. His acting was remark
able for one so young. Miss Lettie Bull was
Mrs. Griuder, and Charley Stakeley was Mr.
Grinder, and such a pair of Grinders they were !
Miss Lottio is a consummate actress, aud Char
ley performed his part equally as well. Miss
Blalock, as Mies Grinder, acted her part well,
aud Misses Nellie and Naunie tall sang
with their usual flue effect. There aro ether
actors and other features which wo thought
worthy of notice, but we caunot recall them
with sufficient distinctness now.
Tho exhibition was a complete success.
Tho Clioninu Celebration.
Tuesday morning was set apart for the Clion-
iau Society. This society had this day publish
ed and circulated a paper—a real printed paper
—lourteen by twenty-two iuches in size, and
called the “Vox Clionis.” The “Vox” was a
capital paper; wo were proudj to claim kin with
it; and it was so full of good things that we
would be glad to copy it bodily into the Report
er, but we’d have to give a whole page to it, aud
that is more than we could do.
Well—the society wus called to order prompt-
ly—so promptly that this writer was not on
hand, aud missed part of the music aud the re
citations of Misses Mattie Brady, Maggie
Thompson and Emma Harwell. This we regret
very much, as wo know those young ladies per
formed their parts well. We are informed that
beforo our arrival Rev. J. H. Hull, of Nownan,
Mr. J. A. MoWhorter, of Greenesboro, Hon. A.
II. Cox, of LaGrauge, Hon. It. N. Ely, of Atlan
ta, and your humble servant, were elected hon
orary members of the society. We acknowledge
our part of tho honor with many thanks.
The first thing wo heurd was the reading by
Miss Alice Fitzgerald, of Stewart county, of the
“Heroine of Stouo,” Mrs. Oilman’s spirited
poem. Miss F. so entered into the spirit of the
poem that the audience could not help being
thrilled. Miss Nellie Ball, of LaGrauge, sang
very sweetly, “Thou art so like a Flower.”
Miss Ruth Bradfield, of LaGraugo, recited that
humorous little poem “Miss Annabel McCar
ty,” iu a stylo so natural and so appropriate that
the audience wero heartily amused.
Miss Alice Bacon, of Groenesboro, gave a de
scription of the burning of a ship. Her rendi
tion was full of power and pathos, and she car
ried the hearts of her hearers with her.
Miss Ida Stakeley of LaGraDge, told of tho
misfortunes of a lone young lady who lived in
“Number One.” It was excellently rendered,
and evoked applause.
Miss Julia McWhorter, of Greenesboro, re-
cited “The Polish Boy.” Miss M. is an ama
teur tragedian of no small merit, aud her reci
tation thrilled every heart iu tho audience.
Miss FurzemiiALD, iu a few appropriate re
marks, presented to tho society, a beautiful
orayou picluro, drawn by herself, of Olio, tho
tutiso alter whom the Society is named. Miss
Blalock president of tho Hooioty, accopted tho
picture in behalf of tho society. Wo must say,
In passing, that that is a fortunate society which
can bo presided over by an officer of sueh grace,
beauty and dignity as Miss Blalock.
By requost, Miss Ida Stakeley recited iu her
inimitable manner, Whittier’s celebruted poem,
“Zoklo's Courtin’.”
Mr. John A. McWhorter, of Groenesboro,
Ga., was introduced as tho orator of tho Clio-
uian Society. Mr. M. is a geutleinau of splen
did physique, tall, stout aud liaudsomo. After
an allusion to the difficulties which naturally
presented themselves to his mind as to a sub
ject for his address, ho announced that he would
suggest some practical duties devolving upon
tho young ladies beforo him. Ho would take
for his themo, “The Influence of Woman.” It
is the great lever power, resting on a fulcrum of
religion, that moves tho world. The future
character of tho child is tho work of the mother.
Lamartine said that ho drank deep of his moth
er’s mind, and paid a noblo tribute to her—
which tho speaker quoted at length.
To wield a proper influence is the crowning
glory of woman's life. To do this she must bo
qualified by culture adapted to tho purpose.
To qualify her to rule tho world amt redeem
man from his otherwise depraved condition, she
must bo educated. Education begins with tho
cradle, and stops not with tho grave. Every
thing which tends to mould character is a part
of education. Culture consists in tho forma
tion of true womanly character. Text books
should not be admitted to tho first rank among
tho means of culture; there is a higher aliment
than they. Books aro necessary but subsidiary.
Woman's strength consists in tho affection and
gentleness of her nature rather than in tho
power of her intellect. The first element of her
power should be a proper reverence for the
Bible. Wherever you find a Christian people,
you will find an eulighteued people. The
speaker paid a glowing and eloquent tribute to
tho Bible. Tho polytheism of the ancient
Greeks is mouldering under the dust of ages,
but tho religion of the true God rejoices in tho
Ireshness of perpetual youth.
With the acquirements to which the speakor
had alluded, and with characters well matured,
the fair ladies he was addressing would be well
qualified for the high and responsible duties of
life. When you have a homo, the speaker ex
horted, let tho spirit of beauty be tho presiding
genius. Iu all his struggles with the world and
with vice, man needs § the hallowed and hallow
ing influences of a liuppy home to save him
from ruiu.
The history of the world is almost entirely a
history of woman’s influence. After an elo
quent invocation to his hearers to realize and
exercise the influenoo they possess, aud a few
appropriate remarks to tho Society, the speaker
closed amidst applauso. Immediately a magni
ficent bouquet, rarely beautiful even for La
Graugo, was brought to him from tho audience
with tho compliments of tho Misses F. aud
Miss B.
Tho whole concluded with a beautiful rendi
tion of “Old Folks at Home,” by pianos and
violins, with which tho audience wero delighted.

Wo never heurd a better performance than the
overture. The eigtheen performers kept time
as perfectly as one person. The effect wus very
fine. The same remarks might be applied to
the other orchestral performances on the pro
gramme. Miss Logan sang her solo very pret
tily; the vocal duett between Misses Logan and
Nannie Bull wus churming; aud the vocal solo of
Miss Ball, iu costume, “Maid of Judah,” pro
duced a deep effect ou the aHdience. Her cos
tume represented a captive—black dress with
her wrists chained. “The Vivaudiere" a three
phrt song was sung with flue effect. The “Jol
ly Little Players” was a good indication of the
proficieuoy attained by tho younger pupils iu
the music department. The violin solos by the
Misses Cox, wero charncterizod by those marks
of excellence all their performances show. Their
dexterity iu handling the bow is almost won
derful.
To sum up tho concert in a word it was a
complete succoss. The Misses Cox have again
shown the public how thorough is the instruc
tion imparted in their department The Presi
dent is remarkably fortunate in having such
assistants iu his own family. The music whioh
was performed all through the commencement,
and which we could not notice in its proper
place, was another and a repeated proof of the

Commencement Day.
Ou Wednesday, the chapel was, as usual,
crowded by the time for the exercises to begin.
Rev. M. B. Hardin, pastor of the Baptist ohuroh
iu LaGrange, offered prayer, then Miss Jennie
MoMurray played a beautiful piano solo, after
whioh the reading began.
Miss Emma High, of Madison, Ga., read on
“The Day-Star of Life.”. Hope, the day-star of
li.e, is common to all men everywhere, of every
degree aud rank. Hope is a parasite and a flat
terer, clinging to those who are despondent us
well as those who are happy. It is a morning
ray of joy to a soul in the darkuess of disap
pointment. Hope and Faith each other’s burdens
bear. As the glorious light of the sun or the
soft beams of the moon, hope sheds its benign
rays on joyous youth. Hope most befriends
when we are surrounded by sorrow. It relieves
the burden of poverty. The weary prisoner, as
he drags his chains, hopes for the day when he
shall be at liberty. Without hope, life is like a
world without a sun. Of all life’s ple&suree, th#
last to desert us is hope. To all the despairing,
the reader would say that the darkest night
must ere loug yield to day. Tho essay closed
with a beautiful poetical quotation.
Miss Nannie Ball, of LaGrango, wrote on
“What shall tho Harvest be?” Whatsoever a
man sows that Bhall he reap. Tho husbandman
recognizes this in his sowing, his cultivation
and his gathering. The merchant buys goods
with reforonoo to selling them; the physician
must have his mind, thoroughly furnished to bo
successful in his work, and. so of every calling.
More than oighlcen centuries ago Christ enun
ciated the above doctrine that wo must reap as
wo sow. Among all his teachings, which havo
been the admiration of succeeding ages, tbo
parable of tho sower stands conspicuous.
Youth is the sced-timo of life; if we are giddy
and gay then, liko a painted butterfly wo shall
have but an ephemeral existence. A life care
lessly spent, will yield in tho harvest nothing
but leaves. A lilo rightly spent, will give for u
harvest, sheaves of gold to store in the heavenly
garner.
Tho next reader was Miss MollIe Rowland,
of LaGrauge, ou tho subject “Twilight ol tho
future.” Tho future lies beforo us in Cimmeri
an darkness. Empires of the past have rison
aud fullun, and all things connected with them
have pu-sed away. Tho glories ol Greece aud
ltoino have flod. If wo read tho futuro by the
past, we see that tho works of men aro short
lived. Our futuro is bright or gloomy as we
would have it. Our destiny is not to bo fore
told, and yet wo kuow that it is in our hands.
Let us outer the life before us with such a de
termination as will bring success in what we
undertake. Wo may not bo celebrated, but we
can be true and good. Destiny will bo no dread
infliction of falo, but tho natural consequence
of cur hopes aud aspirations.
Miss Carrie Clanton, of LaGrange, had
chosen the poetical subject “Only an Armor-
Bearer.” Every lift; has been a conflict between
good and evil. The history of the world shows
a similar conflict. Reform has been inscribed
on every banner, but who has begun to Jive re
form ? How many of us will bo williug to havo
our friends among the unfashionable? IIow
many will undertake reform in dross? Who
will lead ami who will bo tho armor-bearers?
Only a lew aro fit for leadership, hut the others
aro not therefore exempt. If all wore leaders,
there would be no rauk aud file to do tho fight
ing. Those who arc found faithful in small
things will bo mado rulers over many. There is
more in life than is sung by poets or thought of
by philosophers. Having adopted the right, let
us stand by our colors. No life can be puro and
strong without makiug others purer and strong
er. Let us all obey tho great captain, either to
march on or to wait for the grand review.
Miss Ida Embry, of Columbus, wrote on these
immortal lines of Gray:
“Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
Anil waste its sweetness ou the desert air.”
We read and applaud the lives and characters
of great men. But the great masses are confiu-
ed to a limited sphere of action; and they live,
love and die unknown, save to a small number
of friends. In obscure graves many rich gems
are buried. Where one man wins renown, ter
thousand heroes live aud struggle unknown
Such have been tho Christian missionaries;
such the noblo spirits that go among the poor
and wretched to do good; such those who defend
the weak against the mighty. Tho world owes
more to these than to tho rich and powerful.
This is more true of woman than ol man. She
is confined to home, and must be sought out be
fore her merits are known. We live for eter
nity, and many a flower that has blushed un
seen, will be hailed iu tho great day with tho
welcome, “Well done, good aud faithful ser
vant.”
Miss Julia McWhorter, of Greenesboro, Ga.,
wrote ou “There’s Rest Enough in the Grave.”
Most persons crave rest. As age advances this
feeling grows more earnest and intense. The
lesson of nature, as seen in all its operations, is
of constant activity not of rest. Action—labor—
progress—is what animate and inanimate crea
tion teach us. Our duty is all around us. It
requires the labor not of the hands alone, but of
the brain also. Man was made to labor. En
dowed w th mighty intellect, we should not die
without leaving some good works behind us.
We havo much to learu und much to teach,
If we would rise to the full measure of our duty,
we should discard ease. Action is the law of
mind and matter. The present state is prepara
tory. There is surely no time lor rest, when we
reflect ou the peril of immortal souls, and the
part we may do iu saving them.
Miss Jessie McWhorter, of Woodville, Ga.,
told us that “Home is Where the Heart Is.”
No word awakens such lender emotions as
“home.” What makes homo dear? Asso
ciation has much to do with it. Tlace does not
consti’uto a home. The Laplander would pine
in Italy. Tho idea of homo is not a mere
fancy. No place can be homo unless the heart’s
affections aro centered there. Home may be
humble, and secluded, aud destitute of attrac
tions, but it the heart be there, all earth’s treas
ures could not make ou abode so fair. Those
who have not roamed know not the blessedness
of home. Became ho felt iu his heart the need
of home, John Howard Payne wrote in immor
tal verse of the home he was doomed never to
enjoy. Be our homes never so attractive here,
the heart longs for something better, and happy
is he who oau find a home in the bright world
beyond the tomb.
Miss Maggie Thompson, of Peufield, Ga.,
wrote concerning “Day aud Night." If all the
time were day, or all night, wo would soon real
ize the beneficent adaptation of our Creator,
which makes ono succeed the other. No philo
sopher has ever been able to tell whether man
owes more to day or night. Some make one
superior and some the other. Tho eye of day is
so bright that man can only look on it indirect
ly; but the million eyes of night ho can gaze at,
aud be reminded of the glory and beneficence
of the great Creator. Darkuess shows unuum-

bereil worlds nfver seen by day. The reader
likened the Confederate heroes to stars that
glittered amid the gloom that surrounded thoir
country. Prosperity is day and adversity is
night. Iu the former adulation and flattery are
common; in tho latter the true seutimeuts ot
our fellows show themselves. Wo have had
stars in blioduess—Homer aud Milton; in per
secution, the ancient saints who suffere l mar
tyrdom, needed it to make their light shine; iu
exile, Dante; in prison, Bunyan; iu homes ot
indigence, innumerable. Iu all places where
there are troubles there are bright stars shiniug.
“Sweet are the uses of adversity.”
The Subject of Miss M. J. CoNiNE, of Camp
Hill, Ala., was: “Earnest effort the key which
unlocks the door to success." There is nothing
great without effort. There is much raving
about geuius; but the real men of genius are
resolute workers. Every man is the architect*
of his own lortuue. What has been done can
be done again. Bunyan, Rubens, Beethoven,
Mozart, Goethe and others were cited as exam
ples of what men oau become by work. The
degree of success attained depends on the effort
put forth. We should act with decision but not
with rashness. Minds fertile and resolute ac
complish wonders. The shortest way to prove
a thing possible, is to set about it with a will.
The lives of all the true and great have been
characterized by labor. Be not intimidated by
cheerless beginnings, but follow diligently the
tusk before you. The reader closed with an
earnest invocation to her olassm N teB.
The next reader was Miss Lizzie Blalock, of
Fayotteville, Ga., with an essay on the subject:
“He whom love rules, where’er his path may be,
walks safe and saored.” Love is a little meteor
between two eternities. Speaking of love, she
did not moan the silly effervescence of youthful
natures. The same power who created us places
this feeling iu our hearts. He whom love rules will
not give himself up to licentiousness—he will
not—cannot—frequent the haunts ol vice.
Mark tho homo of the man who spends his
nights in a club-room or a gambling saloon;
there is not that happiness there whioh is in the
home of a man of puro heart and steady liubits.
Wben a man truly loves be is never entirely dis
solute. There is an unspeakable charm in tho
bonds which join hearts. The heart filled with
lovo is proof against the follies and vices of life
by having no room for thorn. L^ve carries peo
ple happily through life, and briugs them thou,
glorified spirits to heaven.
Tho last was Miss Alice W. Bacon, of
Greeuesboro, Ga.; subject: “Southern Intellect
and Associations.” Sho did not propose to in
stitute a comparison between tbo South and
other sections. Sho would not do other sec
tions the injustice to ridicule them, while prais
ing her own section. All ranks of society are
held together by a social chain, tho real value
of each link being determined by its utility.
Time will never, uovor efface tho memory of
those days when Southern society was the boast
of its people and the envy of the world. The
reader depicted iu fittiug terms that grand civi
lization which prevailed iu the South less than a
score of years ago. Some ol the brightest pages
of story and Bong are illumined by Southern
genius. Iu military renown and statesmanship
the world does honor to the South. Southern
intellect shines as some va&t comet of tremen
dous size, not arrayed for competition iu tho
markets of the world, but in the grave diguity
of deep draughts from the Pierian spring.
After music by Miss Alice Cox, the diplomas
were awarded by President Cox, with a Jew ap
propriate remarks. He made no speech, but
simply testified to the worthiness ot the recipi
ents, aud invoked God’s blessing on their future
lives. Tho class then sang a parting song,
which brought tears not only to their eyes, but
to those of many iu the audience.
Hon. Robert N. Ely, Attorney-General of
Georgia, was then introduced as the annual
orator. He began by confessing his inability to
form a fitting conclusion to the exercii.es ol the
occasiou, but it gave him pleasure to add bis
mite to the great cause of female education.
Referriug to the rich aud deep stores of pleasure
aud knowledge iu nature, he stated that knowl
edge is the key that unlocks them, and briugs
them forth for tho use of man. Man is tho
grent master, and lays all nature uuder contri
bution. Beuutiful as is the radiauce of the dia
mond, it compares not with tho glory of wom
an’s eye, aud tho wealth of the mines of Gol-
conda compares not with the wealth of woman’s
truo Jieart.
The pioper study of mankind is man. The
human heart is a great mystery. There is no
more interesting study than the relations of the
sexes.
The speaker here drew a parallel descriptive
of it, then referred to the disposition of man to
tyrannize over woman, and to the imjust dis
crimination of the law iu certain lands. The
women of this land should be dovoutly thankful
for their educational advantages, and other ad
vantages which flow from them.
Poets and novelists de'-cant on the beauties of
woman’s form aud figur, but her beauties of
heart and mind are of far more importance.
There is a vast difference between the condition
of woman iu this country and others. The
speaker exhorted his hearers to suffer privation
even, rather than abridge the educational ad
vantages of their daughters.
The great object of education is to prepare
the recipient for the active duties of life. The
young ladies wero reminded that they might be
thrown on their own resources in life, and were
exhorted not to be ashamed of work of hand or
brain. Allusion was mado to the vocations in
which women engage. If the speaker had a
voice strong enough aud persuasive enough, he
would plead with the whole country for a widen
ing of the sphere of woman’s work. Ho would
have men leave the effeminate employments
in which so many are engaged, aud go into
more manly woik, in order that more chances
might bo open to women. All vocations should
be open to woman. Tho speaker enlarged upon
her especial adaptation to teaching.
A few appropriate closing remarks conclud
ed the address; music followed; the benedic
tion was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Hardin, and
one of tho most brilliant Commencements of
President Cox’s career was ended. No, not
ended, for there was a levee at night. You
all know what a levee is, so there is no use in
attempting to describe it. It was a success—
that^is enough to say.
Muuduy School Celebration at Midway.
Last Saturday tho Sunday schools of Anti
och, Western and Midway had a joint celebra
tion at the last-named church. A large com
pany assembled early, and when they were
called into church tbe house was well filled.
Tho meeting was opened with reading the
scriptures aud prayer. Then several songs were
sung, under tho lead of Mr. J. W. A. Rowland
of Antioch, and his singing class.
Prof. A. F. Trimble was then introduced,
and delivered an address on “The Spirit of
Inquiry.” It was full of thought, expressed in
chaste language, was classic in tone, and indi
cated culture und research. It was listened to
very attentively. Then there was a recitation,
Call the Children Early," and then speeches
and recitations as follows:
Lucy Evans, “We Won’t Give up the Bible."
Frank Rowland, “Thy Kingdom Come."
Billy Rogers, “Out of School."
Willie Rogers, “The Victim of Drink."
Sum K. Boykin, “Greatness."
Miss Sallie Phillips, “The Subbath,” an es
say.
After moro singing, tho next thing on the
programme was a speech by Hon. W. O. Tug
gle, of LaGrange. It was an excellent speech,
urging the parents up to the full measure of
their duty to their children; exhorting them to
neglect in no particular the welfare of the im
mortal souls entrusted to their charge. The
speech was earnest and serious, and made a
good impression on the audience.
By request ol Superintendent Strickland, of
Midway school, President Mayson delivered
two prizes which had been awarded to the boys
in that school—one for being the best pnpil
and tbe other for getting the most scholars.
After singing again, the company present par
took of the sumptuous dinner which had been
prepared uuder tho trees in front ol the church.
This was just such a dinner as might be ex
pected from the good people of that portion of
Troup.
Alter dinner, moro singing was indulged in,
till the writer had to leave for home. Just here
we mu6t be allowed to say that Mr. Rowland
and his singing class are hard to beat by tbe
same number of persous anywhere. They sing
with the spirit and the understanding.
The writer enjoyed the day greatly, and is
under many obligations to the hospitable peo
ple whose guest he was.

Both Commencements over at last.
The rains are frequent and abundant.
Tho story of Mr. James D. Hardy’s trial acre
of corn is going around tho State.
We wero mistaken iu saying, a week or two
since that tho Sunday-school at Midway -is
Methodist. It is a union school.
Ou the 20th, inst., Miss Hattie I. Lockhart,
daughter ot Dr. H. C. Lockhart, of this county,
was married to Mr. John D. Wells, of Atlanta,
Rev. H. J. Ellis officiating.
The Atlanta Constitution says a bunch of keys
was found in that city, with a tag, ou which was
written, “Robert Dukes, LaGrange, Ga.” The
owner can get (hem by paying for the ndvor-
tisement.
Mr. Hen rv Banks, Jr., of Atlanta, has an
idea of starting a largo tannery in LaGrange.
Wo earnestly hope he may decide to do so, as
he is young, energetio and enterprising, and
would be, with his family, a cousiderable ac
quisition to tho sooiety of LaGrange.
Attuckcd by Bees.
A negro man living on Mr. Adam Ragland’s
place, near LaGrauge, took hold of a bee-hive
the other day, to extract the honey. Taking
hold of tho top, it came off, and tho boos in
large numbers began to alight on him. Becom
ing frightened, he began to fight them, and that
made them worse. They stung him so badly
hat he fainted; and his wife, running to his
rescue, brushed them off with a broom and got
him out of thoir way. Dr. Baugh was called to
attend him, and picked fifty stings out of biB
face aud neck, after many had been taken out.
Tlie unfortunate man must havo been stung by
a hundred bees. Ho did not die, but is recov-
eriug.
Major Jones' Wheat.
We have received the following letter descrip
tive of the manner in which Major J. F. Jones
obtained the remarkable yield ol wheat men
tioned Inst week:
Major Jones sowed early last fall eight acres
of old land, which had been in cultivation for
over forty years. The soil was well prepared by
plowing, using stable manure, cotton seed, and
guano. He sowed the common variety of wheat
known us the purple-6traw. On the most pro
ductive acre, he sowed one and a half bushels;
on (he other seven about one bushel to the acre.
The laud was carefully surveyed by J. II. Covin,
our county surveyor.
The best acre made seven hundred and eighty
large bundles or binds, and threshed out fifty-
three aud a half bushels. The three best acres
threshed one hundred and seventeen and a half
bushels. The entire eight acros yielded two
hundred and nine bushels. Several dozen of
the wheat threshed out a bushel to the dozen.
It was reaped, threshed, measured and
counted in the presence ol many witnesses who
are ready to make affidavits to the above result.
I think the above yield unusual for this country
aud only shows what proper preparation and
attention will do. Many of our old fields which
are now unproductive cau yet bo made of ser
vice by proper preparation und cultivation. If
sach results can be realized we certainly havo
the best country, under tho sun.
This result is enoouraging to our planting
friends, and should be to our entire community.
I learn of several fine prospects for wheat in
this section. Messrs. B. T. Moreland, Frank
Ward, Dr. T. J. Jones, Mr. Sims and others,are
likely to make from fifteen to thirty bushels to
tho acre, from a good portion of the lauds they
sowed. The prospects also for corn are very
fine; cotton is now growing well. We have
good seasons. The outlook is brightening.
Hogansville voted for a constitutional conven
tion. Give ns gocftl law’s, and economy in the
administration of onr Shite affairs, and all will
yot be well. Very respectfully,
J. C. Smith.
Hogansville, June 15, 1877.
Tlie Beatrice Pencil.
Dr. H. II. Cary brought to us on Tuesday a
basket of ripe peaches. They wero of the
“Beatrice” variety, and were deHoions. We
desjre to call the especial attention of onr read
ers to this kind of peach. It was ripe enough
for market ten days ago. Within twelve feet of
the tree from which wore gathered those Dr.
Gary brought as, is a “Hale’s Early," whose fruit
will be eight or ten days yet in fully ripening.
It will be a month before the ordinary varieties
will be ripe. There is no reason why onr people
cannot greatly increase their pleasure (and their
profit also, if they like) by having early peaches.
The Beatrice is tho earliest ol which we have
any knowledge, and so fur as we know, Dr.
Cary is the only person in this vicinity who has
any of tho trees. If the people will take some
pains, they can have peaches from fonr to six
weeks earlier than they now have them,
