GREENESBORO, GEORGIA, FRlim MORNING, JULY 13,1883. SELECTED POETRY. DEACON JOHNSON S JERSEY COW. As the “Jersey cow craze” lias taken pos session of tlie minds of a great many of our people, “both in country as well as in town,” I send you a few lines suggested thereby: If you have the time to spare And nothing else to do, I want to tell you something, And 1 know that it is true. I'll tell you all about it. But perhaps you know it now— It's about Old Deacon Johnson And his brand new Jersey cow. The deacon is a fancier Of every kind of stock, And a' rays aims to get the best, To improve ilia herd or flock. He iisad to raise the ‘'Shorthorns,” But they are “common” now. And so the deacon thought to get A pure bred Jersey cow. He concluded not to hurry. But to get one that was pure, If lie had to go to Jersey To make the matter sure, lie looked through all the papers. And with eare he knit his brow ; As lie planned and plotted day aud night, To get a Jersey cow. At last an idea struck him, Though you may think it. silly, He concluded he would write a uote ,j To the famous Jersey lily, And ask for information. And if she could tell him how Or where, within her native isle, He could get a Jersey cow ? So lie w’rote to Mrs. Langtry Who of course you surely know, is the fairest Jersey lily That was ever known to blow ; And lie asked her if slic’d he so kind As to write and tell him how He could get for love or money, A pure bred Jersey cow. Mrs. Langtry got tlie letter, And she read It o’er amt o’er, But in her correspondence She had none like that betore ; But she answered Deacon Johnson And said, “if he w*ould now Get a heifer caif and raise it He would have a Jersey cow.” \V.

M’dANIEL—SOME IN TERESTING FACTS AS TOLD BY A ] CXyRKBSTONajEST. -.mu. ; Sjiecial Correspondence Atlanta Journal. Macon, Juue 27, 1883. Masonic Hall was crammed to i day with a brilliant audience, nota- I bly composed of beautiful women and well dressed strangers, among whom were tc be seen not a few of the literary celebrities aud civil magnates of the State. On the stage, besides tlie trustees and many prominent citizens, GOVERNOR M’DANIEL AND HIS VENER ABLE SIRE were the “observed of all obser vers.” As remarked in a previous epis tle, the writer is not reporting com mencement, but simply touching up some of its salient features. Imprimis ; as a whole, the exer cises will compare favorably with those of any other institution in the South. There was a maturity of thought, elegance of diction and ease and grace of delivery in the speeches of a majority of the young gentlemen, which would have reflected credit upon almost any deliberative body. The careful and judicious train ing of a skilled master of elocution was perceptible to all. There was no disposition to rant; no mouth ing or sing-song tones, no extrava ganzas of composition, and but lit tle awkwardness in attitude or ges ticulation to be seen. Some of the addresses were ex ; oellent aud the selection of subjects apposite and agreeable. While not disposed to partic ularize the writer from a sense of justice is constrained to say that the efforts of Heujamiii G. Gregg of South Carolina, Julian H. Ev ans, of Washington county Geor gia, Hewlett A. Hall, of Coweta county, Georgia, and the valedic torian, Chtii'les C. Cox, of Troup county, Georgia, eall for special mention. Tlie “Reign of Sham" was the unique theme of Mr. Gregg, aud he made the most of it. The hoi lowness of HeiiKatioual sermonixers, lawyers, bankers, doctors, “dutlos," ant] college girls was so well por trayed that the conscious audience blushed and cheered by turns. Hut we ohm attempt no sketch of the piquant and eloquent address es of the senior orators. The lim its of this forbid any siteli task. It is proper to add however, that tlm valedictory of Mr. Cox was ehaste, sensible and well delivered. Nothing could hare been more delicate and appropriate than the encomium pronounced upon Pres ident Battle and the several mem bers of the faculty. AN MPItEBfSjT! SCENE.

Tlie doctor was j|£e of the four survivors of the firsjfboard of trus tees, elected in 1883| Their names are as follows: Hon, Mark A. Copp er, Cartersville; Col. John B. Walk er, Madison ; Rev. S. G. Hill jyer, Washington, and Rev. J. iH. Campbell, D D., of Columbus, Ga, The nature of thjjuprocess'of the University from the humble begin ning of a “Manual Labor School,” step by step to its present lofty position was intensely interesting. Dr. Hillyer hud acted a prominent part in the ’long procession of events and his graphic afid lucid state ments of the early struggles of the institution, the names of the wor thies who first opened their hearts and purses to bring it into exis tence, aud the doughty deeds of the sturdy pioneers in the paths of science, thrilled tlAjindience. Of the latter, 1 Their names are Mr. Ira O. Mc- Daniel, the exemplary father of our ! popular Governor, Professor Shel | tou P. Sanford, still in harness, and whose reputation as a scientist J and author is world-wide, aud Mrs. | B. M. Sanders, the venerable and I respected relict of Rev. B. M. San | ders, the principal of Mercer Insti tute, and first President of Mercer University. Of the four survivors of the origi nal board of trustees, all of them were invited to attend, there were present, viz: Hon. Mark A. Cooper, still in a green ‘ old age, Rev. S. G. Hillyer, D. D., aud Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, D. D. AYe doubt uot the precious re miniscences of Dr, Hillyer will carefully garnered up and preser ved in permanent tiiape. At the conclusion of his admira ble address, after 2 p. m., the aged PROFESSOR IRA O. M’DANIEL was called upon to take the floor. He responded willingly, and all I were struck wit'll the benignant i face and erect figure of the father ■of Georgia’s Chief Magistrate. Sev ’euty-six winters have cast their | snows upon his head, but the old i veteran continues well preserved, | and full of the his youthful | days. M He many r.' : - noierlr modesty to 1 n ernlile Pm said stripped him of his if lie was of dollars, lie was agitated, bitterly op posed the projecßrind since its con summation had to some extent lost interest in the Institution, and this was the first commencement he had attended since 1853. His objection* had been based upon climate and location. The people of upper Georgia were afraid ; to risk their lives in this latitude. But now, after surveying the lofty site of tlie University buildings and breathing salubrious nir of Tatnall Square, he would publicly announce that his old time prejudices bad all vanished, and he was free to admit that taking all the year round, no healthier spot could ho found in tlm country. Henceforwnrd he should work with inorensed zeal for Mercer. Thus ended tlm exercises proper of Mercer Commencement. On tlm whole, the outlook of tlm University is cheerful, and anew departure of progress and prosperi ty we trust is at Imntl. H. If. J. A MODEL CARP POND. THE SUCCESS MR. TAPPAN HAS HAD AT FISH CULTURE. i Special Correspondence Home Journal. When tired of the house and cares! that infest the day, one may spend a restful hour, at Mr. Geo. Tappan’s fish pond, a very attractive spot in a village where anything like scen j ery is meager ; aud one who has a keen appreciation of nature’s charms can there enjov at once sol itude and society. Tis a pleasaut fiastime to sit by this artificial akelet and watch the yelllow carp i coming up for the thrown 'upon the water. They make some/ noisy plunges in the water when seizing their prize of cracker or biscuit, and often get so bold as to come quite near you. Out in the shallow water you may see, early in the morning once a month the large fish come to deposit their spwan. Mr. Tappan has utilized a quautity of his wire-grass roots by , placing them in the pond, near the; banks, to receive the carp eggs, and he can pick up a handful of these roots and find a number of j the eggs attached. He gave us j one tiny fish, which he saw hatch out in a glass jar; and this wee thing was an amusing possession, as he darted around in the preserve stand. You could see his eyes, and from them trace the backbone, but lie never grew large enough to look much like making a ten poun der, —died of too much attention. There are now thousands of little fish in tlie water and there will soon be thousands more ; the small fry are growing fast and in a few mouths the pond will be alive with fisji. Mr. Tappan pays so much j attention to the culture of the ' carp, lie has not as yet had time to give much care to beautifying the surroundings of his pond;'lie has put up the wild grape aud musca dine vines on rustic supports, and hopes the quality of the fruit will improve. In time, this will be a beautiful pond; and it certainly j gives promise of being a valuable j possession at an early day. AVhile feeding the fish a few evenings sinco, we could hear the partridges shrill “bob-white” in an swer otlujrs iy the grain field closeoy. A tittle rabbit jumped up from some concealed nook and went joyfully on his war—perhaps seeking his supper among the bush ! es. The sun near setting, cast his ! last rays upon the clouds that skir l ted the horizon in lines of red and j gold, and this splendor was reflec ted upon the water. On the clouds I the spectacle was luminous and , gorgeously grand, while on the wa -1 ter, the reflection was softened, but resplendent; and when the wind I gently blew over the surface and the wavelets rippled, the bril liancy of the clouds became as liquid flame in the sparkling wa-1 ters. Besides Mr. Tappan’s there are also two other fine carp ponds in the village, and we think that our citizens may, ere long, be supplied with fish without sending from home and paying extravagant pri ces for them. Till] FIRST BALE. A special to the Telegraph and Messenger states that the irrepres sible Primus AV. Jones of Dougher ty has come to the front with the first bale of this year s crop. It has become a habit of his to get i the first bale from this State, but j when the Chronicle of last week reported picking in DeAYitt countv, j Texas, things began to look squally in the matter of leading the new crop in the Southern States. But Mr. Jones has taken the cake, sol to speak. The new bale, classed middling, weighed 335 pounds, sold j at 25| cents per pound, and netted | the handsome sum of $85.42. The first bale lhst year was raised ; by tbe same gentleman and sold on JMy Hth. It weighed 429 pounds, classed low middling, and sold at twenty cents. This bale this vear iis said to be the earliest ever ' known in Georgia. In 1851 Texas reported anew bale on Julv sth! llf we are not mistaken it is the first year that Texas has been beat en in years. —“More in man than in the land,” | according to the Carroll County Times : “Mr. E. G. K rnmer, of this place, from one and three fourths acres has had threshed 145 bushels of oats. He informs ns that this is the sixth successive crop made upon this land. It was pre pared by turning green pea vines under in September, sowing the i oats in October and a top dressing of *IOO pounds acid phosphate in February. It is strange indeed, that our people, some of them, are so silly hr to move West in antici pation of a bettor country than ( tirroll. There is morn in the man than in tlm laud, as has been de monstrative by tlm success of Mr. Kramer iu producing this wit crop." TERMS :—s2 OO ier Annum, Ih Advance. ** AN ACADEMY NEEDED. A MEETING OF THE 'CITIZENS URGED BY OUR CORRESPONDENT. Editors Home Journal: If you will permit me to occupy a little of your valuable space, I will offer a few pertinent sugges tions to the good people of Greeues boro and vicinity. It needs no argument to prove that one of our greatest needs is a first class school. AH will admit this fact. In order that we may I have this, four things are nibessary i absolutely. - - Ist. AA r o must have good and competent teachers. These we j have. All who attended the exam ination exercises, and die exhibi tion of the school that has just ! closed, will say this of the teachers ;we have. I have been attending such for years, and I will say with 'out hesitancy that it is inferior to none that I have ever seen. The teachers we have. They deserve the hearty thauks of the people and doubtless have them. 2nd. We need pupils. Will any one sav we have not got them ? I Will be safe in saying that there are, seventy five children and youths in and around Greenesboro who ought and will go to school. It will be safe to say that with the proper inducements twenty-five more can be induced to attend from abroad, making one hundred. In this number there will be say 80 who will take music. The above is the minimum. It is possible that during the first term there would be 125 in regular attendance, and 85 or 40 music scholars. There can be no doubt hut tbat there will be the minimum aud probably the maxi mum iu attendance. 3rd. The next thing to secure - success is the money to run the I school. Let us see if we can’t have it. Take the minimum fig ures above. One hundred people averaging two dollars each per month would be two hundred dol lars. This would pay the princi pal and two assistants. In the music department say there would be thirty who would take lessotfs, average tiled, at $3 dollars per month, we liave'ninety dollars which will pay our teacher and assistant. These figures are the rock bottom. I have no doubt that if proper antf necessary steps are taken the above can be largely over reached, say two hundred and fifty dollars income from the school proper aim one hundred and twen ty from the music department. 4th. How is this great boon to be reached? Let me tell yon. Thei'e must be built a sightly and commodious academy*. Say to cost twenty-five hundred dollars, possi j bly less, but $2,500 will be the out side figures. But someone will say that can’t be done. Stop, don’t say that that kind of talk never j built a chicken coop much less an academy. I say it can be done, and done easily. Here is the plan. Let a citizens meeting be called j say Tuesday morning July 25th, at i tlie court house. I would suggest 10 o’clock as the hour of meeting. At this meeting let the subject be | fully discussed, and a board of' trustees be elected whose dutv it - will be to organize, and appoint a sub committe, and take all neces-! sary steps to raise the amount nec essary, and also to select a proper site for the academy, and report at a subsequent meeting. Then let a building committee be ap-j pointed, and the work projected. Let it be taken at once, I believe it can be done. All we need is to; put our shoulders to the wheels j aud move on. Let us let the stars | take care of themselves and keep our feet on the earth, talk common sense, and build the academy. Don’t snv no. If you can’t say any thing else, say try. In my next, I will say something about Ihe rela tions of good schools to the public welfare. Penholder. --♦-* - —Old Commodore Vanderbilt was uncanny in many ways, but be had some sterling qualities. The possession of great wealth did not make a Golden Calf dude of him. The following anecdote illustrates what we mean : At Saratoga, on one occasion, I when sjtting on the piazza of a ho -1 tel, a somewhat over-dressed lady ! approached and claimed his ac quaintance. The commodore rose and talked affably with her, while his wife and daughter sniffed the air with scorn. “Father,” said the young lady, as the commodore re ! Burned his seat, “did’t you remem ber that vulgar Mrs. B as the woman who used to sell poultry to 1 us at homo ?" “Certainly,” respon ded the old gentleman promptly, “and I remember your mother when she used to sell root beer at three cents a glass over in Jersey, when 1 went up there from Staten Island peddling oystes oat of my boat." W HOLE NUMBER 527. TECHNOLOGY. The Milledgeville Union says : j “The first suggestion of the es* tablishment of a School of Tech nology in this State, came from Col. 10. P. Crawford of this city. In urging, through the press, aud be fore tlje legislature and the trus tees of the State University, the es tablishment of the Middle Georgia j Military and agricultural College at tjje old capital, this was his. most prominent idea. The estab lishment of suph a school was after-, wards suggested by the Chancel lor of the University, which proba bly resulted in tlie appointment of ; the legislative pommittee on tber subject. It is hoped that the in vestigation and report of this com ; mittee will result in supplying this great need of the country—a prac tical and useful education for our young ineu.” *~ Our friend Crawford is eminent ily a practical man, and should a , technological institution be estab lished, should be elected its presi dent. GOING- TO ALABAMA. Mr. J. S. Newman, who has long been a most important factor iu the State Agricultural Department of this State, has accepted the posi tion of professor of agriculture iu the Agricultural aud Mechanical College of Alabama. Mr. Newman will have an experimental farm of some two hundred acres, with nit, ample appropriation to enable him to carry out bis ideas of imparting practical education iu the science of agriculture. The idea is not only to cultivate the soil, but to ex- I periment iu stock raising, fish cul ! ture, bees, etc. One feature of tlie i trustees’ plans is weekly lectures, ; and the general purpose of the pro i jectors is to arouse anew interest in and advance in every sense of this important industry. Mr. Newomn’s experience in all these branches,. ' and his tact for teaching, render him most eminently qualified for the important station assigned him, and Georgia will lose one of her | most valuable citizens when he | leaves us, which will be in the early 1 fall. 1 We find the above in the Atlanta ! Journal. Wo shall regret the de parture this worthy awl learned j Christian gentleman from our State. In him Alabama gets a value him ; acquisition. THE SAIiHATIP. To the Citizens of the State of Virginia: I The increasing disregard to the* Sabbath in the United States calls | for an application of the civil laws to protect that beneficent ifistitn ! tiou. One of the most hnportanft departments of the government, em ploying the largest number of men, tramples upon all Sabbath law and refuses rest to his servants. Especially do the great carrying | corporations • defy the laws of the 1 Sabbath, and exact from their em ployees service during its hours of lawful rest. This disregard of di vine aud civil law has alarmed the friends of the laboring classes tmd lovers of our free civil institutions.. Hence, the general effort now in progress to secure reuewed legisla tion for the protection of the Sab bath. Man’s constitution requires a Sabbath rest. It is a physical, so cial, intellectual is founded in the common law for the human race. The State must pass laws to pro tect its own rights and existence:. The Sabbath is essential to the ex istence of the State. Blaclistono says :—“The keeping of one day in seven holy is of admirable service to a State", considered merely as tv civil institution. It enables the workman to resume his occupation in the ensuing week with health and cheerfulnsss ; it imprints on the minds of the people that sense of duty to God so necessary to make them good citiznes.” The State should, by its laws,, protect and enforce the outward rest of the Sabbath, that the mass es may cultivate cleanliness, deceu cy and moi-als; husband then strength of body and mind, and en joy the sweet and ennobling influ ence of the family during the hours, of rest from toil. Upon these grounds we call ok? all citizens to sign and aid in se curing signatures to the petitions: being circulated under the aaspices: of the “International Sabbath As sociation.” regarding Sunday mails, etc. Faithfully, A, R. Cocke. * Millboko Depot, Ya., May, 1883* — ... —Philadelphia Pvess: Please , make a note of the fact that if Sam uel J.
