Bev. Wyatt Brooks and his most estimable lady left our town tin last Thursday to visit their rel atives in Eatonton, where they ex pert to spend the summer months. Wo wish them a pleasant stay and a safe return. Mrs. Vemont„ mother of Mrs. W C. Monk, loft our town on yesterday for a visit to her rela tives in Kontucky. May Bhe have a pleasant journey. We are sorry to see so many of our good people leaving our town While a great many of our ex changes, will suspend their publi cations, some for one week while othei'B for two, during the first week of July, we will endeavor to bring our paper regularly before our reuders. We positively think it just and right that our employes should have at least one week du ring the month of July to rest their wearied minds, but for sever ed reasons we will continue the publication of our'pnper, We were pleased to see our old familiar f riend Mr. J. F. Marshal one of the most prosperous farmers of Talbot county, in onr town last week. It wub to our pleasure that ho visited our sanctum, but had it not. been for the lightning speed of the locomotive, we dare say he would have left us unthought of, but having run to the extent of his breath, ( one moment more Would have landed him safe) he concluded to spend a few moments with us and recover his breath and he prepared for the next train. Mr. Marshal reports Talbot county in a prosperous condition Many Thanlce, We extend to Hon. W. H. Fiokling, our many sincere thanks' for the gift of a beautiful pig to us one day last week, we are not confident of its age or weight but would suppose it to be about three months old. This was quite urn expected to us, but “a friend in need is a friend indeed.” This gentleman is one of the.most kind' hearted men that Taylor ‘county can produce. May he ever be blessed,and may prosperity be his lot. Bev. Mr. J; T. Adams, will also accept Otir thanks for a nice lot" of fine apples presented to us last week; < of Dr, Battle.’, In this article we will give as full a notice as our spnee will allow of the cxeroises begining on monday. Monday was assigned to Mrs. Stephens for the examination of her little classes and for a reading exercise by the same. This lias always, beon a favorite day with o'Ur citi zens. Before tho examination hour, the hall Was well filled by those who were anxious to see how the little folks would acquit them selves. TheexaminAion was coh- tinued until every body Was thoroughly convinced that this de partment is in the bauds of oho of the best teachers’, in the state. Indeed Mrs. Stephen's place could not he filled, by (mother within our knowledge with the same degree of satisfaction to both pupils and parents. As long as she remains in the primary department of our callage, there is uo danger of those little side schools springing up which sap the life of so many of our lending schools and colleges over the state. After the exami nation of the primary depaitment the little girls read extracts to show their profioieocy in reading, they read krell, every one of them, we will not particularize because all would deserve special men tion. At night Prof »T. J.. Wm. Bruhns, gave n concert. The hall was well filled and the Prof, with his class gave us some of the best mnsic we aver heard from pupilB of any musical department, the programme was long but the au dience seemed well entei mined to the last. Tuesday opened bright and clear From nine to eleven the students in the higher classes were examin ed, showing thorough culture and practical instruction. After a short interval Rev. Jas. D. Buss, our fellow oitizen delivered an address on “our sohool," we would that we had room to give a syn opsis of this address. It was u speeohthat every parent in Taylor county ought to have heard. Never were we so impressed , with the rich but rare worth of educa tional opportunities. Mr. Buss, gave a short history of our school, its benefit to our town already, its necessity to our children and its increased benefit in the future if properly sustaiu-d by our citizens. Mr. Buss beautifully illustrated one great fact, viz that of the great names of .the past many of them owe their lasting memorials to their connection with the great educational Institutions of their countries. No f. under of a great school has ever ceased to have the lasting remGUiberunce of his coun trymen. What an incentive to our men of elegait fortunes to be stow liberally of their incomes up on onr schools and colleges. Tuesday night was assigned to the young muu for declamation the largest attendance up to this time was present on this occasion Indeed it was necessary for a large part of the audience to stand. The yoobg men acquited them selves handsomely, some of them showing rare gifts in oratory. We will- not make distinction But we will insist that the boys lay aside the old apreohes of the speech books and learn some of the eloquent passages that can be found among the later speeches of onr great nden of the present day On Wednesday fe'itfly ill Ike day it was evident that a large riliifi her of visitors would be in attend ance. An hour before the open ten the young ladies, speakers and teachers with others, marched to the stage, The. exercises were, opened with prayer by the Bev.' Mr. Johnson. After Which fol lowed the reading of'otfapositions. This exercise was pronounced by every one present unsurpassable. Wo knew something Of the good reading of the young ladies of our college hut we had no ide% that their culture in this inspect had attained such rare rhetorical fin ish. Those who heard this class on Wednesday, will certaiilly tint miss tiie opportunity if allowed them, of hearing them again next year. Several .interesting inci dents illustrative of the efieot of tirese compositions upon the uudi en'ce could be noted, but We do not wish to make special mention of particular compositions uuless dents, professors and a largo con course of oitizens oh Wednesday lastat.ll o’olook in the large and commodious hall of the college ' Mr. Davis is a fine scholar and an orator of no mean ability.

His address was an in tellectual treat served in the most elegant language. We will not attempt a synopsis, »» wo hope Mr. Davis will furnish hts address to the officers of the sohool to be published. It is the opinion of all that on no other occasion in the history or our school, has this ud- iress been excelled in richness ol ideas and delicay of laogurgo, Wednesday night concluded the exercises of the week, with “The Old Folks Concert,” by Mrs. L. E. Butherford. Those who have attended Mrs. B'a. entertainments in the past, know her rtire talent for getting up the most enjoyable evening exercises. This was per haps, the most pleasant affair she,has given to the entertainment of out commencement visitors. Tho entire programme was a per fect success. THE MUSIC. Wo have purposely abstained from mention of the tnusio furnish ed during the exercises of tho week in order that we might give it a separate notice. Good mnsic is no small purt of any literary oc casion. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the niusie waR furnished by Capt. J. M. Bateman, on the violin. Messrs, Butherford and Harris on the gui tar, nud Mrs. Butheriord and Mrs. Bateman on the piano. We do not believe tiiat a better combina tion of musical talent and finish can he found in the State ot Geor gia. The plaudits that followed every performance told of its ef fect upon the audience. Some of the pieces played were grand. In conclusion we wish to make some general mentioD of our sohool. With hut four years exis tence it now ranks among the first institutions of our State.' Its ben efit to onr town is uncalculable. Now let every citizen of Butler determine to co-operate with onr teachers in making this institution still more of an ornament to our town and a benefit to our Children. What would Butler be withbut our college ? Let us all deter mine to use every effort to keep up this institution to the high grade it is attaining. Money can not he spent upon it without giv ing a rich hatlrest to oflr piibple. Even now is the prods ot bur neighboring towns holdifigijp our Butler colibge to the emulation of their own communities. Let u$ all work with a steady union to thb interest (if this school, laying aside all jictty differences, aiid solid we tbili find in our midst a liteniry institution that will at tach to Butler the enviablu name has a thought of investing South, and if so, he can do no better than here.
