The ring was sos- pended opposite the front gate; thirty yards back was the head, and further back, seventy yards, was the starting point—whole distance to bia ran, one hundred yards; time, eight seconds; feats, cut the head and tierce the ring. As a singular fact, it may be mentioned that the cem etery stands in the rear and the penitentiary in front of the spot. It most not/however, be imag ined that, because the Knights fltu> from Death, therefore they do not prefer to die heroically, than to languish in inglorious chains and servi tude. Those well known citizens, Doctors White and Herty, and Lient. Mapp, were appointed Oh the blistering burning shame that so goods State House, just refitted and refurnished with every improvement at great expense, large anil ample grounds around, should be left silent and deserted, tom topsy-turvy in the nnnecessary eonfusion of moving. A movement of the folly and wicked extravagance of political schemers, who, through subtility and chicanery accom plished this wof il waste.

' S.. ~ pMvWt peoially does her credit and which Bibb county would do well to follow. In the cold and silent graves of the cemetery repose the ashes of hundreds of nameless Confederate dead. A monument with the gimpl* inscription, “i'o the Unknown Dead,” marks their last bivmac. It was a farther source of gratification to note that, unike too many other monuments erected over our gallant soldier dead, this one hac the merit of being made by Southern friends ancl not by Northern foes, who moulded the bul let*, which let out their precious lives. Let the dead rest in peace ; but, really, we cannot see how Southern people can reconcile themselves to ]>ay, as it were, our Northern fritruU for the boon of erecting a monument over our gallant dead. In this, at least, if nothing else, it should be supposed oui people would patronize home enterprise. It raakes us shrug our shoulders whenever we look at the last resting place of some brave Confederate soldier and on the mar gin of the tombstone we see that, in spite of such marble-works as J. B. Artope <fc Son and others which we could mention, they had to go to the North to hive it done. Shame ! But the holidays are over, and home we must go.

The contest is nearly ready We cast our eyes down the road and take an earnest look at the chivalrous knights. There they are, one hundred yards off; eleven in number drawn off under the leadership of their gallant captain, Jas. H. Nichols. Their showy costumes, waving plumes and champing steeds, bewilder us whether this is the nineteenth century or not, and cause us to believe the old days of knight-errantry are revived with all its romantic spirit of adventure and deeds of dar ing ; love of arms and of the rewards of valor; devotion and love to the softer sex. The lost quality of the chivalric times, every Southron can proudly boast, is 3till retained here at least, in all its ancient glory and excellence. This College is open dnily from 9 a. m. to 9 r.
