A I*ol.oo V. L ist week we announce*’ our in l*-nt.on of hereafter issuing T'f K Kx - n Thursday nstead of Friday :i- 1 Tetofore. As several members if.-ur force have been sick during the | ii-t week we were unable to l ling out our paper yesterday. \ru Lher object we had in delaying tin- issue was that we particularly desired to give the first day’s pro i: lings of !he constitutional eon . ution this week. Tin: Express sfter this week will be issued on Thursday morning. l TllKtil' I.IE K J.\ THE OLD LAND V KT ? If so, why not force it into activi ty li the \ ital spark is almost “gone i ni ’ why not apply the bellows ami l riii:.. it back to its pristine glory ? Tin -e are questions for the people of ( aitersville to consider. Situated v ie is in one of the finest sections *.l the South. Her salubrious cli nia!pure water, good society, ■ i bnols, churches and all that goes towards rendering it a pleasant home for fill, and in addition to this, sur roui ded bv fertile lands, adapted to 1: c omins, cereals, cotton, and stock raising, the hills in sight filled with the valuable minerals. Among them iin sr, the hi at iron ores, baryta, gold, etc., ought to make us one of ■ . *. emiimunities in th ■ South. We have all tlie advan tages for manufacturing if properly inaugurated ami sustained. Let us think of these tilings. We are all interested in the matter and by dis cussing through the columns ot Tal Express the all important matters that some of our people roajize as nee. ssary to our growth and future The writer has heard that certain gentlemen propose to establish a l ank in the city, provided certain concessions are made by the city— that is relief from taxation for a few years, and a little encouragement from our citizens. This can be easily done. As to taxation we can well con sent to the relief. If they don't come among us and establish the 1 :mk, tiring additional capital to our community, facilitating our general 1 n-iness, we arc as a people,the losers and of course get no taxes from that source whatever, but by making' the concession required, we get the ins'itution, lose nothing and all are benefit ted. These suggestions are sufficient to cause us to think a little. I t - do it ; lay aside selfishness, put our boulders to the wheel, and great good will unquestionably be the re- AN INJUSTICE. Somebody shoots th is arrow in the Coinmbus Times of Sunday : Member' elect to the constitutional conven tion who have not handed in their poiligrecs ii>r publication to the Atlanta Constitution are re jiii 'ted to do so at once, as only a short lime will intervene before the meeting of the convention. And county editor who have not received complimentary notices, a? to their ability and resemblance to Horace Greeley and other great writers, are aDo requested to band in tli ii names without delay. The newspapers generally throughout the St ite, are requested to give this notice a free ( fi l iation lor they know how it is them- I*. '. If any of the members of the Legis- Jatuie who failed to receive a flattering notice ju't betoic the late election for Slate Fiitier, will hand in his name per Imps he will get a notice. It appears to us that the above is siiuHit its contemptible an effort at sarcasm as we ever saw, abounding in a- plethoric an amount of dirty spleem as ever emanated from the pen of an anonymous newspaper scribbler. We do not propose to champion the Atlanta Constitution. Indeed,-we have had occasion to find a great deal of fault with it in the past but we -can’t help from complimenting, in our humble way its enterprise and geo.l sense in presenting, sis the only daily newspaper issued from our capital, short and interesting biographical sketches of those who have been elected to make a consti tution under which our people are in future to live. It is uotlung but right that the people all over the State shonl Ibe informed as to who arc make* this constitution and v,v think tJiese sketches are not only interesting to the general reader but afford an interesting chapter in our history—for in our opinion no more able body ever lias or ever will as semble in our S'ate’s capitol than itie constitutional convention. In regard to the notices given the press in the Constitution the fling is exceedingly low. Tne Constitution was the first so called metropolitan si't'et to ever recognize the power : efficiency of the country press of Georgia and it looks like a little rn l n jeaulousy of the opinion in v hi -li the Constitution is held by its con dry friends that has prompted such papers as the Columbus Times and Macon Telegraph to publish and and produce such a contemptible fling as lhe above. i . H. Richardson, Esq., a rising young journalist, now connected with tlie Atlanta Constitution deliv ered an address at the sophomore exhibition of tne Dalton Female College, and presented the prizes on that occasion. As predicted Mr. Riehardsou did a neat thing of it and hi friends here heartily congratu late him. The people of Georgia have once more honored their illustrious Jen kips by making him president of the constitutional convention. THE TOUTHITL MIM>. Closing Ex*rcii>*n of* ili* lmol? in Aioumt Cartersville. Though Cartersville uniike other towns anti hamlets of Georgia cannot boast of grand aid pretentious male and female colleges she can point her linger with pride to the several academies and schools within her precincts where the plain English is taught and the youth of the coun ' try is educated with tne care and proficiency equal to that of any other institutions in the land. Care ful, earnest, faithful teaching is the sole aim and ambition of her com petent yet unpretenth us educators and the solid rudiments of education is taught by them in preference to the sumtteringH learned dross usu ally gorged into a youthful mind. Carters-rllle High School. <)n Friday last without the least warning to his pupils Prof. It. John ston invited his patrons and the friends of education to his school room to see what progress his schol ars had made in their studies. We were not present and cannot speak from certain knowledge but have the word of competent judges and crPics for it that the young people acquit ted themselves creditably, reflecting honor upon both themselves and their faithful teachers — the Professor and his estimable lady. Of course some questions were missed —some wrong answers given. But what if there were? When a little fellow can sit stolidly on his seat and answer every question asked him in a sort of mechanical manner it is too much of an evidence that his lessons have been “packed” into hiseranium by months of careful preparation for this very occasion and that he lias learned these lessons more by by real hard study and sound reason iua. At night at the City Hall occurred the exhibition of declamation and com position reading. Alter music by the Cartersvile Brass B.tml Master Nick Johnston a bright little lad stepped upon the stage and in a manly and easy style delivered the “Salutatary.” ‘‘The Bachelor” in ail his troubles woes and tribulations was next hu morously discussed by Master E 1. Callahan. And then “The Editor” received a splendid word painting by Master Ab. Conyers, which was very amus ing. Master Clarance Smith then ren dered in a capital manner “The Un seen Battle Field.” '“Little Charley” was next dis cussed by Robert Patillo. Willie Aiken declaimed “Day break” in a creditable manner. Frank Patillo spoke beautifully on “Harry and the Guide Post.” The first composition of the even ing was read by Miss Lula White on “Music.” The composition re flected great credit upon one so young. “Fashion” an excellent composi tion abounding in real good sense and careful thought was read in a creditable manner by Miss Nita Stovall. It remained for Jim Conyers a lit tle dumpling of a fellow of about five years to bring down the house in uproarous applause by his lisping yet eloquent speech “At Bull Run when the Sun was Low.” lie is a perfect prodigy and gives promise that the fire of oratory and eloquence is kindling up in his manly littie breast and that only time is required to bring him distinction. “Work and Play” was spoken by Master John Kennedy. “Rienzi’s Address to the Romans” was excellently rendered by John Benton. “Shakespeare” an amusing dis course on tiie deceased William was well rendered by Chris Conyers. Sam Conyers then presented Kol lo’s Address to the Romans” in an excellent manner. “Bernardo Del Carpiu” received hearty applause. It was spoken by Nelson Gilreath. “Rienzi’s Speech to the Romans” was recited by Master Marcellus Stovall with true Demosthenian fire and eloquence. Next on the programme was the little drama “Only Lota,” the char acters being presented by Misses Young, Willingham, Stovall, White, Master Ben Conyers and C. Willing ham. The declamations were then re sumed by the fiery recitation of Lem Gilreath in “Burr and Blanner hassett.” “Hard Times” by Charlie Calla han was well spoken. The “Voices of the Dead” were heard through Master Wallace Stan sell. Walter White was eminently suc cessful in his speech of “Regulus to the Roman Senate” “Spartacus to the Roman Envoys” was well rendered by Master Nick Johnston. Three young ladies then came for ward and read the following compo sitions : “Mental Development” by Miss Fannie Young, original composition full of bright thoughts and elegant diction a nd was read splendidly. Miss Jessie Johnston gave her sensible views on “Ban Company” in capital style and the world would do well to heed her words of truth and ivisdom. Miss Annie Willingham closed the composition reading with an appro priate essay on “Scandal.” After the Charade “Strong Mind ed” the Valedictory was spoken by Master Bennett Conyers and the au dience was dismissed. Of course we cannot speak separ ately of those young people in a manner they deserve. If the feeble words of an humble reporter can go any way towards promoting them and encouraging them we would will ingly accord columns. They all did well and wc- doubt not that each parent left the hall with a heart swelling with emotions of pride at the i-reititable manner in which tiieir children Acquitted themselves. The Cartersville Brass Band kind ly furnished excellent music for the occasion. Emin Street School. The exercises of the spring term of the above named school took place on the 20th ult., in the afternoon. It was not by a public exhibition hut by declamation on the part of the most advanced hoys and reading ex tracts by the girls. Their exercises were witnessed mainly by the pa trons of the school who had been invited to attend. These exercises,' however, constitute a monthly fea ture in that school and are quite in teresting. Not having a programme we are unable to give the names of the declaimers or the readers, and hence we cannot particularize as to persons or subjects. It is enough to say that all did well, anil none but the more atfvanced scholars took part in the exercises. The efforts gave abundant evidence that the pupils of Erwin Street school are well trained, aad that Mr. and Mrs. Millican are a.s siclious in their efforts in the pro motion of the educational progress of those committed to their care. . Our young friend, Shelby Attaway, always elicits attention on these occa sions by his Feltonian style of oratory. If the Doctor were to hear him once he would he surprised at the pro ficiency with which young Attaway practices his own style in speaking. Mr. John R. Speck delivered the valedictory to the school in pathetic language uttered in impassioned ora tory. Altogether, the evenings entertain ment was quite interesting, and we trust heieafter Prof. Millican will • v. uo putrltt CAlilDllh/uo at tLo olnco of his terms. Wolford Academy, Another one of those always inter esting occasions to the residents in the vicinity of Cass Station has come anil gone —the semi-annual ex hibition at Wofford Academy. At an early hour on last Friday even ing, quite a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen, the relatives, friends and acquaintances of the pupils, had assembled at the Academy to wit ness the exhibition of this excellent school. The audience was an un mistakable evidence of the interest felt in the school and the very able management under which it is con ducted. The school, under the direction of Prof. J. T. Lin, still sustains the popularity it has so long enjoyed. Prof. Lin is assisted by Miss Jennie Kingshery, a young lady of highly cultivated mind and fully compe tent to fill the position of teacher. The music department is presided over by Mrs. J. D. Lawson, a lady of tine musical talent and one whom the trustees of the institution may justly feel proud. The evening’s entertainment open ed with a song by the school, “Hozan nah to the Son of David,” all keep ingjperfect time. Ossie Lawson spoke the “The Seminole Defiance” in a very credit able manner. “On tho B ittie Eve” was spoken clearly and distinctly by Hal Law son. Reese Linn’s rendition ot “Inqui ry” was excellent. “Jeptha’s Daughter” was spoken by Mr. John Spivey in a very distinct ami appreciative manner. Mr. Glenn Venable handled the subject of “Industry” in an able manner. “The Drummer Boy” was spoken calmly and ,vith self-possession by Mr. Eugene Mumford. “A Spot of Hallowed Ground”— Mr. John McElvy—was rendered with genuine appreciation. Mr. William C. Spivey recited “The Southern Confederacy” in a touching and eloquent manner. Miss Jennie Kingshery sang “Love’s Request,” and the audience did not fail to appreciate her splen did voice and the excellent manner in whiclt it was rendered. Miss Kate Kelvey read an original composition on “Pleasures of Home” which demonstrated a full knowl edge of her subject. Miss Lena Gilreath’s essay on “Address” was a well written article and was recited equally as well. “Housekeeping” was read by Miss Lula Wofford, who evinced consider able acquaintance with lier subject, The composition on “Beauties of Nature,” by Miss Lula Walker was a creditable essay. Miss Fiorine Cocks inquired “What is This?” After hearing it, Miss Fiorine, we came to the conclusion that it was an essay, and an excel lent one at that. A splendid composition rn “Night” was read by Miss Lula Wofford. The exercises were interspersed with music, both vocal at ", instru mental, a feature wh'eh added large ly to the evening’s entertainment. Hon. W. 11. Felton addressed the audience and pupils for a few min utes, after which he delivered the prizes. Although there was considerable difficulty in making a selection, Miss Lillie Wofford received the prize for th 3 best reader. Her selec tion was “Curfew Shall Not King To-Night.” We regret being unable to hear this, but the reading took place in the afternoon before our ar riv and. For the best speaker Master Ossie Lawson received the hrst prize, and Master Ileese Linn the second. Collectively, the speeches and es s ys were as good as we hgtve Iteard for a long time. Little River High School. This flourishing institution is loca ted near Woodstock, in Cherokee county, and is presided over by Mr. 'J. M. Attawav, an educator well known for his efficiency in this com munity. Though we received a kind invitation to be present circum stances forbade us that pleasure. We had a reporter present, however who thus desicribes the occasion^ tlioiij'ti we have been tinnpeiieil by a lack >f space to curtail bis report somewhat: On the2Gth June last we attended an exhibition given under the auspices of the Dorman Stuto Lycumn, connected with Little Riv er High School. It was one of the most enjoyable occasions at which we have had the pleasure of being present. The school is situated in a country so delightful because of its grand and beautiful scenery, salubri ous air and pure water, that had there been no other reason, none present could have failed to appre ciate it; hut besides that it is in a community of people noted for their intelligence, generosity and hospital ity, and the exhibition was one of unprecedented interest. Prof. J. M. Attaway is in charge of the scliool and from the manner in which each of his pupils reflected credit on his instruct ->r, and tlie ex pressed admiration of his patrons, we would judge him to be a ftithful earnest anil able teacher worthy the confidence and patronage of any community. After a large audience comprised of hotli the beauty and intelligence of Cherokee county had assembled and been regaled with some excel lent music from the Canton Brass Band, the exercises were opened by the presentation of prizes by Prof. Attaway. After presenting the prizes Prof. Attaway made a few very pathetic and appropriate re marks to his school. Messrs. John D. Attaway and B. F. Payne then addressed the school on the subject of education. None after listening to their eloquent speeches could doubt its importance. The next scene in the programme was a magnificent oup|ioi' prepared for all who were there. My pen cannot describe the zest with which it was enjoyed. After supper Mr. E. T. Petree made an introductory speech. All thought that the finest speaker had been introduced first after listening to his, but following him came Jeff Bennett and Glenn Jones, of Carters ville; J. P, Brooks, G. A. Vinson, Sanford Barnes, A. P. Kemp, Chas. Bennett, J. Logan all of whom de livered their declamations so well that it was difficult to say which had done best. We felt proud that we lived in Cartersville after hearing Glenn Jones, hut A. P. Kemp, proved that Little River High School had as fine a little orator as any sihool. The composition by the young la dies were especially interesting. Misses Merritt, Dial and Dickerson were first to read, and well did they show their familiarity with the rules of rhetsrie and the laws of composi tion. The chemistry class gave us some essays. Miss Sallie Dickerson defined in a lucid way Oxygen, its uses, abuses, influences etc., Miss Carrie B. Evans, entertained anil instructed the audience with an essay on Hydrogen Miss Lillie Bennett on T.ie Sunbeam. To say that all were superb is to but poorly express it. We then had a variety of tableaux and charades, all of which deserve special mention, Dut space is not sufficient. Little Bu!a Evans and Willie Dial excited much interest and admiration in their excellent rendition of “The Rejected Lover.” Richard A. Williams, of Carters ville, delivered .the valedictory, which was one of the ablest and best delivered speeches of the evening. Richard possess extra oratorical powers which if properly improved will distinguish him in the future. J. L. Moon, Esq., delivered the annual address to the society. To conclude, the exhibition as a whole was ? perfect success and satisfied us that it merrits a large patronage, which we hope it will receive, for there are in Cherokee many buds that may be blown into full grown roses, many stars that may rise to the zenith. Reporter. tstileshoro Institute. It was our pleasure to be preseyt at the exhibition of this school on last Wednesday night. Upon our arrival we found the hall crowded to overflowing, even standing room was in demand. The programme, from beginning to end, was just such a one as is mostly relished at an entertainment of this character. It was composed of recitations, speeches, charades, etc., and the appreciation of the ex ercises by the audience was manifest ed by loud and frequent applause. We regret that time and space prevents us mentioning each separ ately, and we can only say that each and every one who took part in the exercises acquitted themselves hand somely. Indeed, we confess our sur prise at the success of the exhibition, evincing, as it certainly does, the careful and perfect training the pu pils have recei zed at the hands of the teacher. We congratulate Prof. Hudson, the principal, upon the success of this exhibition, and wish for his school a long life of prosperity. We have received the July num ber of the Southern Farmer and Stock Journal , and are pleased to see the marked improvement in the ar rangements of its topics, and infor mation given ; making it one of the most reliable means of knowledge to the Northern farmer of the vast resources of the South : while the Southern farmer will find it the best j periodical on the varied agricultural subjects, published in the Southern j States.
