COMMENCEMENT WEEK IN JEFFERSON
On our outside, for the benefit of all imme
diately interested, and the readers of the
ems generally, will be found the complete
programme of each day’s exercises during the
Commencement” of Martin Institute.
As announced in the “general synopsis”
of the exercises in last week’s paper, Rev.
1 . P. Cleaveland, of Gainesville, delivered
the “ Commencement” sermon in the Presby
terian church, on last Sunday morning; tak
ing as the “ basis” of his admirable discourse
on the occasion, the expression or clause,
“Learn of Me,” to be found in the 11th chap.
29th v. Mat.
Rev. W. A. Farris occupied the “desk”
with Mr. Cleaveland, and assisted in the ser
vice by reading the “ lesson,” (28th c. Job,)
prater, &c. The hymns selected and sang
during the morning’s exercise, were all mark
ed by an appropriate “ fitness,” and blended
most beautifully with the time, circumstances
and surroundings.
Ihe discourse of the Rev. speaker was
complete in all its apportionments, and his
thoughts plainly, logically and oftimes elo
quently expressed in most beautiful terms;
the whole idea and force of his remarks, ap
parently, being to impress on the minds of
bis hearers—and especially those to whom he
had been invited to speak particularly—
the great and all important truth that, how
ever superior the eminence to which they
might attain by reason of temporal schooling
and education, still if they did not humbly
sit at the feet of the “Great Teacher” and
drink from the “flowing fountains” of that
“knowledge which passeth all understand
ing,” their lofty and brilliant achievements in
the arts and sciences, would be only as
“sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.” In
short, to use almost the exact language of the
Rev. speaker, of what benefit would all the
knowledge and accomplishments gained by
learning and education be to the youth
of the land, should they, in spite thereof, at
last, make their bed in eternal perdition ?
But we did not set out to follow the Rev.
gentleman in his timely and appropriate re
marks ; the text itself will convey to the mind
of the intelligent reader, at least to some ex
tent, the “ lesson” sought to be impressed on
those who listened to Mr. Cleaveland on Sun
day last. Would there had been more—es
pecially the young people—to hear him. The
day opened up cloudy and threatening; and
as was the case on a similar occasion, twelve
months ago—rain commenced falling at an
early hour, from which cause, many no doubt,
were deterred from hearing this commenda
ble discourse. We sa} r “ commendable,” and
mean it in several definitions. For while it
was most commendable in matter and com
position, for a “ commencement sermon” it
was truly “ commendable” in point of length;
and more than all, the Rev. gentleman clos
ed “ when he got done”—every hearer edified
and instructed—not one wearied.
Monday and Tuesday, as our readers have
been informed, were set apart and spent in
the “ examination” of the students of the
Institute—from the lowest to the highest
classes. From persons who were present,
and arc competent judges and critics in such
matters, we learn that these examinations
were thorough, and flattering and com
plimentary to Professor Glenn and his corps
of well qualified assistants, at the same time
conferring signal honor on the pupils of this
time-honored seat of learning.
From the programme, the reader will now
perceive that Tuesday night, 8 o’clock, the
“ prize reading” by a class of young lady
pupils took place. Though the assemblage
was not so great as has been noted heretofore
on similar occasions, j r et, ere the hour for
opening the interesting exercises, the Metho
dist Church was pretty well filled with an au
dience composed of the intelligence and beau
ty of Jefferson and vicinity, besides several
parties from abroad. The programme of the
evening was carried out to the letter; each
young lady-reader coming promptly “to time”
as her name and subject was announced.—
This was “ anew feature,” and well did each
and all sustain themselves. Some, it is true,
excelled their comrades, but all done so
well it was with difficulty that five of our
most highly respected townsmen—constitut
ing a committee for the purpose—could de
termine who was entitled to the prize.
As it was the fourth of July, and this the
Centennial year of American liberty, “Uncle
Ned,” the body servant, and (as was affirmed)
companion in youth of Geo. Washington, was
introduced, and regaled the audience for a
short time with some reminiscences of the
“ little hatchet, the cherry-tree,” &c., closing
in a very humorous vein, with some whole
some “ insinuations” to his colored brethren.
“Uncle Ned’s” remarks were well “got off”
and highly appreciated by the audience.—
Thus closed Tuesday.
Wednesday morning, o’clock, the famil
iar sound of the “ old church bell” notified us
that the deck was soon again to “ be cleared
for action.” By reference to the programme,
it will be seen that “Prize Declamations”
constituted the entertainment for this morn
ing. On this occasion, the audience increas
ed largely in numbers from that of the pre
vious evening. A “full house” greeted the
youthful orators to-day. After the usual pre
liminaries, Mr. J. N. Boggs led off in the de
clamatory exercises, followed by each of the
class respectively, as indicated in the publish
ed programme. This was indeed a “ tug” of
intellectual war. Nobly did the j'oung men
discharge the duty devolving on them ; and
as with the young ladies the evening before,
while there were, necessarily, those who fell
short in their qualifications, taken as a whole*
we would, as remarked by thetr worthy pre
ceptor, “ pit them against any similar class,
under similar circumstances, in the State.”
And while we do not pretend to make any
distinctions, we claim the privilege of remark
ing that there were two or three of the small
er youths who deserve “ honorable mention”
for the exhibition of that “ spirit of emula
tion” by which they were induced to become
competitors with those so far in advance of
them in years and size if not in intellect;
Master S. J. Cartledge is a fair illustration
of those to whom we refer, and showed him
self every inch a “ little man” in his rendi
tion of “ The Bonnie Blue Flag.” But all
‘ acted their parts well,’ and many a parent's
breast was. we feel well assured, filled with
pride and exultation at the effect produced
on the hearers of the “ readings” of the night
previous and the “ declamations” of Wednes
day morning.
The declamations over—the committee to
decide on the merits of both the “ readers”
and “ declaimers” consult, and soon prepara
tions are made for the delivery of the prizes.
R. S. Howard, Esq., a young and “rising”
luminary in Jefferson’s “legal constellation,”
who had been selected for this duty, ascends
the stage, and in a few short, concise and
encouraging remarks, hands the reader's
prize to Miss Alice Fanning, of Washington,
Ga.; then in a similar style, he presented the
declaimer’s prize to Mr. G. P. Siielton, of
Franklin County. Thus ended Wednesday
morning’s exercises, as well as the interest
ing contest of young friends and school mates
in the intellectual and oratorical arena. And
while some—both young ladies and young
gentlemen—may perhaps, have been disap
pointed in their expectations, still we cannot
help concluding, from our limited knowledge
of their dispositions and characters and from
their cheerful and good-humored counte
nances at the time, that there was within each
breast too much nobility of soul—too much
of that charity “ which thinketh no evil”—
for any one of either class to find fault or
murmur at the decision of the committee who
were entrusted with the awarding of the
prizes.
THE YOUNG LADIES’ GALA NIGHT !
Wednesday, 8 p. m., was appointed for the
Sophomore Exhibition. The crowd in town,
visitors, &c., had augmented since morning,
and scarce had the sun “ hid herself behind
the western hills,’’ and long before the hour
for opening the evening’s entertainment, the
“ living stream” from all directions, poured
ed into the church, until the building was a
perfect “jam,” many standing in the aisles
and many out-doors, unable even to find
standing room in the house. The pre
liminaries of prayer and music over, the “es
sayists” were introduced in regular order, as
per programme. These compositions were
all unexceptionably well written, and read in
good stjde, barring the fact—toe common with
older heads—that most of the young ladies
went over their “ matter” a little too hastily ;
our opinion of “good reading,” is a slow and
distinct style, in which each word is plainly
disconnected from the other, with a strict
observance of all “ punctuation” marks. In
a crowd so dense as was this audience, there
is always—it seems—an interminable “buzz”
that drowns the voice, especially of female
speakers, so that this too, had a detrimental
effect, it being impossible to hear much that
was said by tiie young-lady readers on this
occasion. Still their “ efforts” gave quite a
general satisfaction, and nought save a hear
ty approval went forth, as was evinced in the
rounds of applause with which each reader
was greeted in retiring.
Greatly to the pleasure and merriment of
the large crowd, did Miss Inez Hunt, sus
tain the “ role” assigned her. From the na
ture of her subject, and the peculiar wording
of her “piece,” it was rather more difficult to
“ render” successfully than those of the “old
beaten track,” and we feel she is deserving
of special notice for the excellent manner in
which she acted her part, affording as she
did, for the time being, so much amusement
to the large crowd of well-pleased hearers.
At this juncture, a little incident “ not laid
down in the bills” took place; this was the
introduction, immediately after the reading
of essays, of “Old Rip Van Winkle,” from
“ Sleepy Hollow,” who, though somewhat
‘debilitated’ by the wear and tear of time, as
well (so he affirmed) as a “ nap” of about a
hundred years, amused the large crowd pre
sent by some pithy anecdotes of “other days,”
interspersed with an occasional huraerous
reference to matters and things as they exist
at the present time. “ Rip” done very well
with the exception that he got a little “ahead
of himself.”
And now, we come to speak of the Grand
Concert of the Musical Class under the con
trol and leadership of Miss Myrtie McCar*
ty, the beautiful, accomplished and talented
Directress of this department of the “ Insti
tute.” Those who are “ versed” in this sub
ject, will learn more, perhaps, by a perusal of
the programme, than we feci warranted in
attempting to delineate. And as it was an
nounced by the worthy “ head” of the institu
tion, that this musical soiree was intended,
not to show the perfection of the fair pupils,
but rather that parents and friends should
observe the improvement made in this direc
tion during the “term” just closed, we shall
speak of it simply in general terms, and be
lieve that a limited reference to the talent
displaj-ed by the class as an entirety, will be
amply sufficient at this time. We were par
ticularly impressed with the perfect ease and
grace with which the gifted instructress shap
ed the movements of her class on the stage ;
all their actions were in the most harmonious
and “ clock-work” style, while the music
itself —both vocal and instrumental—was of
that standard which carried along with it the
impress and conviction that Miss McCarty
is, indeed, an artiste and musical genius of
no ordinary pretensions, and proved also,
that her class had given most unremitting
attention to her instructions, and appreciated
in a high degree, the relations sustained to
and by each to the other—the learned and
the learner.
The entertainment lasted till about 11
o clock. A few, comparatively, “tired out’’
and left before the close; all, seemingly, be
ing desirous to pay that homage and respect
so richly deserved bj T the class and its refin
ed instructress.
I he last day—Thursday, 9| o’clock, a, m..
was marked by the reading of “ essays” and
the delivery of “orations” by the “Juniors.”
Ihe exercises, as usual, were opened with
music and prayer; Rev. G. H. Cartledge, on
this occasion, addressing the “Throne.”—
The audience was then entertained by the
3 r oung larty' essayists of the Junior class.
The essays were evidently the production of
minds that had been trained to think ; were
well read, and reflected great credit on both
pupils and teachers. Then followed the class
of Junior orators in most excellently deliver
ed orations; and ere the last speaker closed,
the large and intelligent audience which
graced the occasion with its presence, must
have felt satisfied that the old “ Institute’’
had done its duty by these young men—now
its honored representatives and noble cham
pions.
Mr. J. L. Davenport, perhaps the “ noblest
Roman” of his class, was (and has been for
some time, we regret to say,) confined to his
bed sickness; consequently could not
appear in the position to which he had been
assigned.
Col. E. H. Oiir, who it was expected, would
deliver the usual Literal Address on this
“commencement” occasion, was also pre
vented b3* sickness, from filling the position
it was hoped he would occupy in the week's
exercises.
Asa “finale” however, to what has been
already mentioned concerning this day. Prof.
Glenn made a few very appropriate remarks
to the patrons of the institution. Asked the
co operation of parents in the home-education
of their children ; urged upon them the neces
sity of learning children to speak correctly ;
gave some humorous illustrations of bad
grammar; insisted on parents and children
being polite around the fireside, and showed
how difficult it was for teachers to impress
those matters on the minds of the pupils
when they were neglected at home. After
this address the audience was dismissed by
Rev. Mr. Cartledge. Thus closed the exer
cises of the da3’.
We should be very derelict in duty did we
fail to mention the superb music furnished
at intervals throughout all the exercises, b3*
Miss McCarty and her musical class of
young ladies, assisted by Mr. T. M. Brooks
and A. 11. Vonderleith, of Athens, Messrs.
J. H. McCarty, A. J. Gilleland, J. O. and J.
C. Shirley, of Jefferson.
Each entertainment was opened with pray
er and closed with a benediction—Rev. Mr.
Cartledge and Rev. Mr. Kelty r alternating in
this duty.
The above is, we are aware, but an imper
fect history of this truly enjo3’able and most
interesting occasion ; but we have done the
best we could under the circumstances. Some
reflections might be indulged in, with profit,
to all interested ; but neither time or space
will permit. We venture one suggestion,
however; and there is ample time for its
consideration : The incidents of this week,
prove most to our mind, that a
house dedicated to the service of the Most
High God is certainty not the proper place in
which to celebrate occasions like the one
through which we have just passed—no mat
ter how meritorious the cause, otherwise con
sidered, And we make this remark in no
captious spirit of fault-finding; but with due
deference to all parties, and witli full knowl
edge of the difficulties by which the matter is
environed.
Seriously Hurt.
It is with sorrow indeed, that we have
learned of a serious accident to Mrs. Han
cock, wife of J. R. Hancock, Esq., and moth
er of our esteemed friend and townsman, R.
J. Hancock. We hear she was out in the
cow lot, or about it, looking after the cows,
when she by some means received a fall and
was severety" hurt. So much so, as to be
unable to move without assistance, and then
only in great pain. The Dr. was called in,
and we hope to hear of her speetty l- recovery.
The Crops
As far as we can learn, are still promising
throughout this section. The “seasons” are
propitious, and should this remain the case,
there is no doubt, now, that “plent3’” will be
the motto of all at the end of the crop 3*ear —
with the exception, perhaps, of those whose
premises and plantations suffered so much
from the disasters of a few weeks since.

Col. Hardeman will address the people of

Although there were no cases of special im
portance involving litigation, up before this
tribunal at the regular term on Monday last,
still, a considerable amount of business was
transacted by Judge Howard.
Leave was granted H. C. Appleby, Exec
utor of E. Buchanan, to sell certain land.
T. J. Stapler, Administrator of L. A.
Stapler, deceased, obtained leave to sell the
lands of his decedent.
R. J. Park, Adm’r of G. W. Chandler, de
ceased, was granted leave to sell the dower
of the late widow and relic of his decedent.
Permanent Letters of Administration were
granted to J. C. Whitehead on the estate of
the late Isaiah Totherow, deceased.
Two or three cases, involving some litiga
tion, were continued.
Margaret Williamson (col.) made appli
cation for a commission to set off the estate
of Miles Williamson, (col.) deceased, to her
for a support, and a commission accordingly
was issued.
X. L. Maddox, Administrator of Mary
Maddox, deceased, made application for leave
to sell land. Citation issued.
A number of returns were filed by Admin-
istrators, Executors and Guardians. The
Judge is expecting others, and unless parties
come forward promptly and make returns, he
will be obliged to issue rules against them
It is not only necessary under the law for the
returns to be made promptly every year, but
it is for the best interest of parties managing
trust estates as well as those interested in
such estates to have them made faithfully
every year as the law requires. We fear,
from what we have learned, that there is too
much negligence about such matters among
our people, not only in our own county, but;
in the surrounding country. Let the people;
unite with the officers of the law in carrying
out strictly the requirements of the law, and;
there will be less cause for litigation and
trouble in the Courts and country.
regret to learn, as we do from W.;
R. A. Boyd, Esq., that in his neighborhood;
(Santa Fee Dist.) there is and has been quite;

be seen, has lost a “ household pet” in the
person of a beautiful and interesting little
daughter. Mr. R. X. Pentecost’s wife was
also a corpse at the same time of the death of
Mr. Boyd’s child. “In the midst of life we

PURE TEAS —IN SEALED PACKAGES,
Direct from China and Japan.
DELIVERED at YOUR OWN DOOR, fresh from
the GARDENS of their GROWTH.
Imported direct by
THE WELLS
TEA COMPANY,
201 Fulton St., New York.
I he difficulty of getting pure Teas of really tine
quality in the Cnited States, has induced The
W ells f I ea Company to ship thoir Teas in seal
ed packages direct from the gardens in which they
are grown, and as a further-guarantee of their be
ing delivered in their genuine state, they entrust
the sale of them only to reliable Agents—the name
of the nearest Agent to you is printed at the foot
of this advertisement—so that the Teas pass
through none but responsible bands, and will be
delivered at your own door as fresh as when they
left the gardens of China and Japan ; the price al
so is printed on each package, so that no error can
occur.
Everybody buys Tea.
Everybody wishes to buy it at first hands—the
best qualities at the lowest prices.
Everybody desires—when they find a Tea suit
able to their tastes—to be certain of getting the
same article always.
1 on can have all these advantages by buying of
THE WELLS TEA COMPANY.
Because they import their own Teas, and sell
them at wholesale prices—without the six or eight
intermediate profits usually charged.
Because the quality is better at the price than
is sold by any other house.
Because their long experience in China and
Japan enables them to make better selections than
ordinary Dealers—and to import them with greater
advantages.
Because they absolutely guarantee the quality
of all their goods—and keep them to one invari
able standard, so that you can always rely on
them.
Because they do business for cash only—and
therefore make no extra profit from good custom
ers to cover losses by bad dehts.
Because their Agents are responsible and re
liable men—who deliver Teas precisely as received
from the Company.
Because having once tried these Teas, you will
not need to go elsewhere hereafter.
