Our olever friend Mr. W. T.

in or town last week. It was a
good time for the genleman to
catch a few dots on the fly.
Bev. Wyatt Brooks and his
most estimable lady left our town

pert to spend the summer months.
Wo wish them a pleasant stay and
a safe return.

yesterday for a visit to her rela

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

elegant language. We will not

Mr. Davis will furnish hts address

that on no other occasion in the
history or our school, has this ud-

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.
