THE ATHENS GEORGIAN. JULY 24, 1877. Harmony Grove High School. Asnnal tiMllltlM KxmlatS, Speeches, DUIogoea, Composltlo**, Charades sad Tableaux—Thar*- day tad Friday, inly 12th and 13ih lasts. It was our honor and pleasure to ho present at the annual examination exercises of Harmony Grove High School, on the 12(h and 18th inats., and it now becomes our pleasing duty to note the excellent and prosperous condition of this school as another evidence of the ascendency the great cause of education is gaining through, out our midst. Arriving at Harmony Grove, Thurs day allertioon, by the Northeastern Riilroad, we were most cordially and hospitably received by Mr. Morgan L. Parker, the worthy and efficient Princ : pal of the school, and his charm ing ami accomplished wife, who is his Assistant in the primary depart ments, and having been refreshed with those good tilings ol commence ment times, and which aro so conge nial to our epicurean taste, we soon found our way to the academy where we were highly entertained by the following I'UOQRAMMK FOB THURSDAY EVENING: Introductory Speech—by Master llenry Williford. Man or Monkey—A Dialogue. MUSIC. .• . The Old and the New (2 scenes)— A Dialogue. MUSIC. Stolen Fruits are Sweet—A Tab* lean. The Candy Pulling—A Comic Speech. MUSIC. Before and Behind the Sceuca—A Dialogue. MUSIC. Tim True Philosophy—A Dialogue. MUSIC. Cinderilla (5 scenes)—A Drama. The Moving Sermon—A Comic Speech. MUSIC. The above exercises were effectively and successfully rendered, reflecting much credit upon the pupils engaged therein, from the “ Introductory Speech” of Master Henry Williford, who acquitted himself finely in pre* editing a brief history and experience of the closing term of the school, and in his apologetic remarks iu behalf of any shortcomings on the part of his schoolmates, down to “ Tho Moving Sermon” inclusive, which forcibly, though comically impressed all with the sadness of the last farewell, even ns experienced by the “circuit rider,” who being deposited on the roadside by bis spirited steed, iu the midst of his discomfiture, beholds the escaping beast as his caudal extremity waving high in air, seems to say, farewell, brother Scrogginu “The Old and the New,” illustrat ing a conflict between the old gran ny who still adhered to her “ old school ” ideas of educating girls and the anxious mother who had con ceived tho importance of giving her daughter better educational advan* — nor should the pleasures of youth be supplimented with the responsibili ties of more advanced life. “ Cin derilla” was well rendered and im pressed all present with the force and truth of the time honored aphor ism “trust not to appearances” while it equally taught that, true merit will find its. sure, reward, and unkindness its inst retribution. These exercises Lj *^’l nojF: wended their Mr. C. J. Hood—Thu Southern Partisan. - - MiasNezzie Park—Money is the Root of all Evil. Mr. J I. Turk—Centennial Oration. Miss Lanora Hardeman—A Smile. Mr. Eugene Doro igh—Eulogy on R. h. Lee. Miss Josie |Wood—Conversation. i ages, was very well rendered indeed, and fully demonstrated that educa> | or the subject, as the case t ion the better fits females for the I by maintaining a dignified domestic relations of life, and males fur tho sterner pursuits, even from the humblest to the highest positions which mau is destined to fill. “ Be fore and Behind the Scenes,’’ was a tine photograph of the unhappy do mestic relations consequent upon hasty and injudicious marriage, and : he conventional hypocrisy so common In presenting to the world under the guise of connubial felicity, what be hind the scene is but one unending niatrimanial broil, and was well cal culated to teach young candidates tor matrimony the importance of 'tudying well tho probable congeni alities of their natures before they obtained their matrimonial permits. “ Tho True Philosophy ” of life as demonstrated on this occasion makes it clearly our duty to look to some thing more than our individual com fort or welfare, and as the young have bceu entrusted to the uurturing care and protection of the older, it bocomes their duty to make their young lives happy and enjoyable, ever bearing in mind that boys and girls should not bo expected to be come prematurely nieu and women, F .>W» dADHO!- way homeward gratified at the suc cess of the evenings entertainment, while the boys and girls, the young ladies and young gentlemen of the school with gladsome hearts and bonyant spirits were greatly encour aged and dispirited for the exercises of the coming day. It being our good fortune to become the guest of tho excellent and estimable Mr. and Mrs. C. W. llood, we spent a de lightful night which greatly refreshed and the better prepared us for the exercises of FRIDAY MORNING, Which consisted in examinations of the different classes in the different ilepartmcnts. These examinations were in the main very good, showing a commendable degree of advance ment and proficieucy on the part of the pupils, while they conclusively proved tho excellent and efficient instructor and the amiable and ac complished instructress to be the right persons in the right place. The hour of 11 o’clock having now arrived, and it haviug been appointed uiito the writer to deliver an address to the school at that time, he was introduced to the audience by Mr. Cheney in a few irti—pertinent re marks, which very much embar rassed the speaker. Just here we are estopped by our modesty which al ways gets the I letter of us, and rec ogniziug the fact that editors and re* porters are always expected to write about everything and everybody but themselves, we will say nothing more about this part of the excreises, leav ing the merits or demerits of that address to be presented by the re porter of “The Harmony Grove Herald.'' It may not be amiss lor us to request in this connection, that said reporter give us a fair showing in his report. Giving us full credit for what of merit our address de served and dealing with its demerits as sparingly and as courteously as the circumstances of the case will permit. Especially, would we request that he do us tha justice to report what he himself heard and what he him self knows of the merits or dcmerilsof the effort. Don’t say, we were un avoidably prevented the pleasure ot being present on that interesting and entertaining occasion, but we sup pose, or wo learn, that the address was, or was not, very fine, the speaker winning for himself more laurels than he knew what to dc with, or that he didn’t gel any boquets at all. Edi tors and newspaper reports who are not present and cannot speak know ingly, should endeavor to sustain their reputation, ns each, and do justice to the speaker, the occasion may be silenc But we are digressing, and will now bring ourselves back to our subject by presenting the following interest iug programme of FRIDAY A FrERKOON—-DECLAMATIONS BY SMALL BOYS AND GIRLS. Master J. C. Edwards—Hoheiiliu- den. MissZcllcnaCrow—My Mother. Master Waller Chandler—Death ot Jasper. Miss Dora Holland—Friends. Master Char.ic Bond—Time. Miss Florence Sanders—He Makes his Mother Sad. Miss Vannie Payne—The Cottage Home Miss Julia Holland—Papa’s Letter. Miss Sallie Hardeman—They Say SPEECHES AND COMPOSITIONS BY YOUNG GENTLEMEN AND LADIES. Mr. Frank Crow—Vindication of South Carolina, Miss Ida Bohannan—The Fashions of this Life Passeth Away. Mr. G. C. Forbes — Glories Human Greatness are hut Pleasing Dreams and Shadows soon Decaying. Miss Lula Dead wyler—The Sol dier’s Death Bed. “iris *MlssElla 8anders-'NW Reveals saii= Sanders—Nigh the Stars. Miss Ada Pruitt—Random Shots. Miss Mary A. Williamson—Dignity of the Hainan Mind. To l»e able to say truthfully ot exercises of the length of the above, that they wore good, better and best, is to fix the standard of merit far above the average, ami in this in* stance a well deserved compliment, a simple award of justice. Tlie length which this report lias already assumed will not permit of that review of this programme which we would like to give it and which it so well merits, but we cannot forbear to make a passing allusion to the “Random Shots” of Miss Ada Pruitt. This sisted by a superior violinist, who evidently ha«L<t*tight the inspiration from Ole Bull. Having to return home by the Northeastern train, it was not our pleasure to hear the last of these ex egeses, but judging from wlutt went before,.and knowing t .at the best is always reserved for the last, we ven ture the assertion, that they, closed anuual commencement occasion satisfactory to friends, visitors and patrons, and with much credit to the principal nud pupils of Harmony Grove # High School.

Miss Pruitt main a’ned, that, since sacred history establishes the fact that the first woman of God’s creation exercised complete and ab* solute control over the first of the so-called “ lords of creation,” and then, and ever since, has had to bear the blame for the natural weakn _*ss and consequent fall of old man Adam md the frivolities of man generally, and which censure has become the common inheritance of woman, tliero ’ore, woman should assert her un questionable rights and make pre- imptious man to stand in the back ground ns old Adam, their illustrious progenitor choose to do, when the garden of Paradise became the 6cene f the first court of justice for the arraignment ot misdemeanors. To all of this, the women smiled com placently, while the men demonstra ted their approval and the potency of the argument by their enthusiastic encore.
