This time-honored institution com¬
mences a new year and makes an ap¬
peal to a generous public. For more
than eighty years the people of Ogle¬
thorpe county have been educating
their children at this academy. The
long list of those who have gone to
school here and the long list of those
who have been so useful, honored and I
distinguished in their day and genera¬
tion that have been trained at this !
school while its is a sufficient is guarantee its future that will J
past secure,
no doubt he marked by the same ener¬
gy and care on the part both of trustees
and teachers who will have the direc¬
tion of its affairs.
After forty-one years of faithful,
continuous and highly satisfactory ser¬
vices on the part of Prof. T. B. Moss
he retired principal of the academy and
Prof. M. 8. Weaver, of Putnam coun¬
ty. Ga., was selected to succeed hitn.
The academy has been thoroughly
overhauled and new furniture will be
placed in he the made building and all of its
parts will readily comfortable
for both teacher and students.
In presenting Prof. Weaver to the
public we than deem it unnecessary to say
any more to call attention to the
following academy: announcement of the trustees

Although the election of Rev. M. S. Weav¬
er to the position of Principal of Meson Acad¬
emy has been known to onr community for
several weeks, the undersigned deem it prop¬
er to publish, on behalf of the Board of Trus¬
tees, some statements which cannot fail to in¬
terest the patrons of onr school.
From the certificates of those best acquaint¬
ed with his methods and success as a teacher,
supported by personal association with Prof.
Weaver, we regard it a matter of gratulation
that we have been enabled to secure the ser¬
vices of one who has so favorably impressed
the community in which he has lived and
(snght. That we would he warranted in us¬
ing language of stronger commendation, will
he readily acknowledged after a careful read¬
ing of th 3 following testimonials, coming ns
they do from men who are thoroughly ac¬
quainted with Prof. Weaver, ami frilly capable
of estimating the merits of a teacher :
Mr. Marion S. Weaver graduated in the class
of 1870 in the University. During his college fideli¬
course he was distinguish for diligence,
ty, uianlienss and successful mastery of his
studies. Since graduation Mr. Weaver has
taught twelve years at Phoenix Academy and
Harmony Academy, He in commanded Putman county, witli
greut success.j lias the patron¬
age of the two communities, und has given
satisfaction to all citizens.
From time to time students have come from
his school to this University, and we have
found them always well prepared for the clas¬
ses to which he has recommended them.

Mercer University, March 2nd, 1888.
From long acquaintance with Prof. Weaver,
I am able to sav without hesitation or reser¬
vation, that in my judgement, he stands in the
front rank of educators. He is thoroughly
equipped by education and training for ihe
profession, and after many he years’ lias experience failed
in teaching in this county, never
so far as 1 have heard, to give entire satisfac¬
tion to each of his patrons.
