Editor Register.— At the last meet
ing of the Honey Creek Club there was
some business of importance tranaoted,
of which I will give only, and .not the
proceedings in full. The report of tho
joint committee from the two Clubs,
made by L. L. Waldrop, was received
and committee discharged, the same ot
which was published in last week’s pa
per. We had several names added to
our list at our last meeting, making 53
upon the roll in all. Our worthy and
efficient member, Rev. Quigg, was with
us, and contributed very liberally by
giving us a nice little talk. The discus
sion of the question was not so lively a
contest as we sometimes have, but nev
erthelcss interesting. Question tor our
next regular meeting: “Should there
he that dignity attached to agricultural
pursuits as to oilier professions ?” We
hope that there will be a general turn
out ol both professional and those who
aie tillers of the soil.

The exercises of the Conyers Female
College were concluded Tuesday even
ing last, w ith a grant! Sociable given by
the generous [principals, the Miss Me-
Finleys. The occasion was one of
pleasantness and mirth, to both the old
and the young, indeed everything tended
to make the Sociable a success, and to
cause all present to have a good time.
Providence favored tho occasion with
a refreshing shower on the afternoon
proceeding, that changed lire atmos
phere from a temperature that was
almost unendurable to one of perfect
pleasantness. In additon to the array
of beauty and amiableness which Con-
yers supports, we noticed the following
from abroad :
Miss Maggie Gibbs, Social Circle,
Miss Eva'Langford, Watkinsville, Miss
Nannie Zachry, Castle Mound, Miss
Mamie Wood, Rockdale, Miss Lizzie
Pope, Mounticello. Misses Kstell Wheltr
and Nora Magill, Atlanta, each of whom
added much to the happiness of the
evening. The first floor was occupied
by the juveniles, who indulged iu a game
called, (I believe) ‘Twist-op-che-cation.’
The more sedate were on the second
floor; some promenading, others sitting
and I suppose discussing, ‘Centennial’
topics. Notwithstanding the general
jubilee, some of the young men came
down town next morning 'rather cross,
and one of them (Jetf) was heard to re
mark : ‘confound them Oxford chaps’.

Arkansas.
Arkansas contains 52,198 square miles,
or 33,406,720 acres. Was admitted into
the Union June 15, 183 G. The soil is
as varied as the surface, the greater part
ot which is very rich and very fertile.
The second present available wealth of
Arkansns is her timber lands Pine, oak
ot all kinds, walnut and black walnut,
cypress, cedar and hickory of the best
quality are found in various sections of
the State. The timber of Arkansas is
to-day worth more than the whole as
sessed value of the State; and it stands
aB that much unemployed capital waiting
to be utilized.
Stock raising is another industry that
jau be followed here with! great profit.
Arkansas is in the fruit belf ot the Uni

for Plaintiff. “Yea, a Daniel—a second

The exercices of the Conyers Female
College closed on Monday night with a
public exhibilion, given by* Misses Mc-
Kinley, and their pupils, assisted by
some of the young tnen of town. Prof.
Taylor with his violin, and A. M. Helms,
Esqr,. with his voice, rendered great
help. Miss MaGill’s playing the piano
was highly entertaining. Want of spues
will forbid us giving tin extended notice
of one of the best—if not the very best
school exhibition ever had in Conyers.
Part first was musical, and was taken up
in song and instrumental pieces, on piano
and violin,
tart second,
In charades, songs and instrumental
pieces. The young ladies and girls took
part in the charades and “Dress Reform
Convention,” acted well their parts The
young men and boys did not exhibit
either the skill, trailing, nor near the
dramatic art as the ladies and girls. We
wouid like to make special mention of
all the young ladies that took part in the
“Dress Reform Convention,” hut for
rrasons heretofore mentioned must fore
go the pleasure. Suffice it to say, that
they must know that reform in dress, as
well as other things, is needed, whether
it will be done or not is the question.
Part 3d opened with a “Pyramid of
Beauty,” a tableaux which was a beauty.
Next a (song), then a tableaux of the
(The Seasons), which was in season ;
then a song, then independence day the
signing of the declaration, then the wed
ding march, after which the Flower of the
family made her appearance, having been
snugly inclosed in a flour barrel. Then came
“Good Night, Good Night,” and thanks to a
house full of well pleased beings. A beauti
ful drop curtain, painted, we learn, by Misses
McKinley’s brother, representing a boat load
of hay and mowers return : rg from haying, as
