Opening ot the Old Southern Fe
male College.
The exercises of the 55th session of
this old college were resumed on Wed
nesday morning. For several days the
trains have boen bringing students from
different parts of Georgia and other
states. The tide will continue for a
week or more. The college perhaps on
tho first day has never had so large an
enrollment. When all are in who havo
made arrangements to come, the College
Homo will be filled. Already Dr. Nun-
nally hesitates beforo agreeing to re
ceive any new applicants. Many of the '
patrons came witli their daughters and
many were tho expressions of surprise
and gratification at the noat and com
fortable appointments and the excellent
facilities which havo been provided.
Some who graduated a few yean ago
were hardly able to recognize tho old
college, so many changes have been
made.
The day was spent in making out the
roll and assisting the new students to
proper classes.
As soon as tho now building is com
pleted which will require some ten days,
a reception will bo tendered the public i
and an entertainment of song and j
speeches be given. The new building is i
a huge structure of beautiful architec
ture and well suited for school purposes. [
This old college has a warm place in
the heart of LaGrange and is dearly
cherished by the hundreds of noble wo
men who once attended its class rooms,
and they all rejoice to see such evidences
of prosperity as are now seen in the
grand old college.
But we know the resources of Dr.
Nunually. If the present accommoda
tions should prove too contracted for the
patronage, ho will soon enlarge and ex
pand and extend the College Home and
class-rooms until it will be ample for all
who come. It is generally conceded
that the curriculum of this institution is
the highest in tho state. The standard
was raised when Dr. Nunnally came and
hence the Senior class has heretolore
been very small, but this year will have
a tine list of graduates. As a general
thing the J uDior course of study here is
equal to the Senior course in other col
leges.
We congratulate the management and
he patrons of the old Southern Female
College on the success already attained
and look forward to still greater achiev-
rnents.
Ninety Years Oltl.
The friends of Mrs. Green, the venera
ble mother of Mrs. Todd laud Mrs. Aw-
trey, will learn with pleasure that on
Wednesday of this week she celebrated
her ninetieth birthday. She is in excel
lent health for one of her age, and her
many friends in and around LaGrange,
doubtless, join tho Reporter in congratu
lations to this excellent woman and hope
that she may yet be spared many years
as an example of cheerfulness in old age.
She has grown old gracefully and cheer
fully and will, no doubt, go out in a
golden sunset, at the end of her life.
Thrown from His Buggy.
On last Saturday morning, while re
turning from a visit to a patient at Lib
erty Hill, Dr. Frank Ridley was thrown
from his buggy by his frightened horses
aud was painfully injured. A large
brush caught in one of the front wheels
of the buggy and struck the horses as
the wheel turned. They were badly
frightened and began to run. The driv
er attempted to stop them but the pole
of the buggy broke and overturned the
buggy throwing Dr. Ridley and his driv
er out. It was at tirst thought that his
wounds were serious, but it developed
later that no bones were broken and Dr.
Ridley is now vesting quietly. He will
probably be coniined to his room about
ton days. The driver escaped uninjured.
