S&f We had the pleasure, yesterday,

A Good Plan.—The Hawkinsville

WIL. The Good. Templars had quite a
pleasant time last Monday evening. Dr.

Commendable.- -There seems to be a
disposition manifested by the authorities
to cleanse the city of its imparities. The
sanitary measures now being prosecuted
by the Board of Health will, no doubt,
benefit the city, and prevent any epi
demic from arising and spreading in the
community. We hail with pleasure*
therefore, the activity of the city authori
ties in compelling parties guilty of throw
ing offensive matter on the 4 street to re
move the same. By pursuing this course,
tbe continued health and prosperity of
the city will remain uninterrupted.
Between 9 and 10 o’clock yesterday 1
morning the Masonic fraternity formed
procession and marched to the Masonic
Female College. The members who join
ed the prooeesion were entirely too few
for the occasion.
After the prooeesion had reached the
College Chapel end the members were
Mated, the President announced that it
would be some time before the exercises
would begin and that the audience would
please examine the specimens of art sus
pended on tbe walls. Some twenty spe
cimens of crayoning and needle-work
gave evidence of some proficiency in
teacher and pnpils.
At 10J o’clock tbe exercises were open
ed by music on the piano by Misses Rees
and Fogle.
President Brown then stated that the
exercises were not a Commencement
proper, but a substitute under the title of
Class Exercises. ”
Miss Rena Brown then appeared and
read in good style a beautiful poem on
Sunlight ” We give the reader an op
portunity to judge of the merits of this
original poem by a Southern College girL
I sat by the open window.
Quite early the other day,
All alone In my study—
For my classmates were sway.
Tbe world wae bright about me,
Tbe sunshine lay on tbe floor,
On tho wall, and on the table—
Weaving mystic figures on tbe door.
An open book lay before me
And thoughtfully I studied on
Daring hardly to look before me—
For the task was not half done.
Till by and by the gleeeome sunahioo
A little tired with its play,
Left tbe door to tbe shadows
And quietly crept sway.
Deftly crept upon tbe table
And over my open book—
Making it bright sad cheerful.
Stealing away its sober look.
How could I but see tbe sunshine,
How could 1 but think of it too,
And let it creep into my heart
As it seemed to long to do ?
God’s beautiful, glorious euuahine
It filled both heart and soul
With its joy and its loveliness
Thus purifying the whole.
And as it crept in so gently
Filling my heart with love
I knew it was a “ winged messenger,*’
From the spirit land above.
A sweet and holy messenger
It sang (hie song of love
In tones so soft and gentle
That angels beard it,—angels above.
Scattered thick o’er every vale,
Violets huk and cowslips gleam
O’er the hill-side and o’er tho dale
Han£8 the sunshine's golden sheen.
Opening roses their sweets diffuse
And where lillies smile in robes of white
Soft carnations shower their dews
Lovely in God’s supernal light.
E’en on the damp and mossy mound,
’Neath which tbe loved and lost lie sleeping,
They brightly Woo pi—and shower down
Their dewy tears—louo watch keeping.
Birds with frill and joyons songs of lovo
Four forth their strains oi grateful praise
To Him, who throned in majesty above
Doth uot forget to “ keep their ways.”
Then why should not you, e’en in sorrow
Be full of hope—and trust to Him
Who sends a sun for each to-morrow
And turns dark night to brightest day.
This song done -I went back to my lesson
And found again no rough, bard part,
For God’s sunshine in my heart
Glinted down on every letter—
Making me happier—wiser—better!
After tbe reading by Miss Brown the
audience was entertained by music from
Misses Bees and Brown.
Miss Carrie Patterson next read a his
tory of her class and classmates. She re
lated pleasingly the incidents of scientific
travel, and humorously and wittily sketch
ed the prominent points in the characters
of her class mates.
Music by Mrs. Robinson and Miss Mol
ly Hawkins.
The composition of Miss Ida Nelms
(sick) was read by Miss Bailie Forth.—
We heard very little of this composition

The Mketino at Geneva.—The com
mittee appointed from this county to at
tend the Railroad Convention at Geneva,
will bear in mind that Wednesday next
is the day of meeting. As Americas is
to be the terminus of the Road, it is all
important that Sumter county be well
represented. It is to be hoped therefore
that evei7 member of tho committee wiU
attend, if it is possible to do so. If how
ever there be any who cannot leave home,
let him appoint some one in his place,
who will be certain to attend. The dele
gation will leave Amerions on the 12
o’clock Tuesday train.

the prediction bf the .Sibyl should not
prove true.
After music by Mrs. Robinson and Miss
Rees the President introduced to the au

tor of the day. We were somewhat puz
zled in the exordium to get the direction

sailing he elaborated rather metaphysical
ly the force of silent agencies. He traced
these first in the natural world, then in
mind and morals. Discan ting on Mf,
jealousies, envy, kindness, and then,

theme appeared to be rather on old

With a handsome tribute to Free Mason

Ga., June 14,1870.
Mb. Editor: To vary the monotony of
town life, I hied me away to the green
fields and pure air of the country last
Saturday. A few mSee drive brought me
tothe pleasant little place of Friendship,,
and I am sore it is well calculated to
carry the name, fox if you wish to find
gennine hospitality, you ean find it among
the good people of “that little’spot”
Remote as it is from the busy noise of
the railroad, nevertheless it does within
its borders a thriving trade. Messrs.
Nelson A Holly, grocery and dry goods
merchants, are laying for themselves a
good foundation for the time to come—
a well selected stock and plenty of trade.
Aro and Friendship exists a community
that makes social life there a pleasure ;
the influence of morality and religion are
not at a discount, and a thriving Sabbath
school is evidenoe of a healthful condi
tion of things in the place.
Woman is beautiful at home, and I
truly found it so when I accepted the
hospitality of friend Nelson, and made
his quiet homestead a resting place from
the heat and dust of a long ride. To tbe
kind lady of my friend I owe my thanks
fox true hospitality that ever carries with
it a refinement of feeling. Behind a no
ble span of horses, with a friend, I went
into Webster, and found the crops in an
elegant condition, but, I am sorry to say,
I saw more cotton planted \han corn.
Fatal delusion ! I am afraid it is now
too late for repentance, and the judg
ment day will dawn npon the farmer of
this country next fell, and they will call
upon the rocks and hills to fall upon them
and hide thenv—from their creditors. In
this connection I must say, though, that
in Webster county I saw more corn
planted this spring in proportion than I
have seen in any other section of South
western Georgia.
Now, Mr. Editor 450 to Friendship and
try for yonrself the hospitality of 'its
good people. Calhoun.
Letter from a Subscriber.
Goliad, Texas, May 28, 1870.
Editor Sumter Republican:—I enclose
to yon a few of the insignia of Yankee
domination in these Western lands.
They are the only memento the down
trodden South needs to bring to mind
the heroic valor and tried patriotism of
people that might be overpowered, but
never were conquered.
The high aristocracy of the South did
not sacrifice themselves for a lost cause.
That cause—the cause of constitutional
liberty—will live and flourish, when
and names now in high repute will not
Poor Georgia, may God have mercy on
her, and visit her Vandal destroyers ac
cording to their sins. These shinplasters
aro all the greenbacks I have
months. People hero use specie alto
gether.
Crops are fine here, though the weath
er is quite dry. Stock is fine and plenty.
A fine yonnglow mole was sold in town
to-day for $15. Our market snpplies
with beef from one end of tbe year to tho
other, as fine as need be, at three cents a
pound, and butter at from 121 to 25c. a*
pound. Ac. I. N. M’C.
Try tlie equine remedies.
Equine remedies never disappoint.
The Richmond Whig learns that
the Polish colony recently established
under the auspices of the Virginia Land
Agency, in the upper part of Amherst Si
and in Bedford couuty, is prospering
well. The colonists have already planted
ont 50,000 grape vines, and speak
fldentiy of a largo return. They ari
peering an accession of one thousand
emigrants to join them in a few weeks.
The Hon. Caleb Cashing, the President
of ti<i« Emigration Colonization Society,
refers to it as a great enterprise, from
which fhc most important and valuable
results aro to be expected.
Worthy of admiration was the
stoicism of a Devonshire man, who,
when on his death bed the other day,
begged his wife and children to have the
funeral procession start early, so that
they might bo sure and get back by
milking time.
—The Valdosta Times learns that at
the coming session of the Georgia Legis
lature an effort will be made to form a
new county, from portions of the conn-
ties of Wayne and Appling, with Jessap
as the county site. It is proposed to call
the new county Ashby, after the lamented
General Ashby, of Virginia fame.

vs. Road Commissioners of Webster
county; the case was argued.
By the consent of the bar, No. 27, was
next called. It is John H. David ]>ru-
cJtein amy vs. Southwestern railroad.
The Seaport Appeal retracts as
follows: “Some strictures appeared in
onr editorial columns last week, doling
the absence of the editor, npon a para
graph from the Americas Republican,
which were rather severe. We like
Americas, know it to be a splendid place,
one of the most prosperous in our State,
aad are proud to know that oar own
straggling city has n host of strong,
staunch and true friends within herlim-
We are disposed to think that friend
Hancock will explain his expression of
the “Brunswick Bubble Banted,” by
saying he meant Brunswick had bunted
forth in real splendid style.”

We are requested by the Presi
dent of the “Do-Nothing Club” to state
that, daring his absence from the city
for the next three days, the Clnt will be
presided over by the worthy Vice Presi
dent. Hours of meeting: From 9
till 12, noon, and from three to 6 p. m.
No one who has any business to attend to
will be allowed to participate in the
meetings. Subject for discussion this
afternoon: How much molasses will it
take to sweeten tVo Atlantic ocean to
make it palatable? Tho Club meets
front of the City Drag Store. Soft pine
furnished for whitling pnrposes.
We have been waited upon by a
delegation of yonng men, clerks in the
employ of the merchants of onr city, and
requested to urge tlio propriety of clos
ing the stores at six’ s’dock, daring tbe
evenings of tho summer.
As the dajs are sufficiently long to
complish all business by that boar, we
believe that both the employer and cm
ployee will be greatly benefitted if they
will adopt this hoar for dosing the stores,
(Saturdays excepted,) os has been done
io Macon and other cities, thus allowing
them such opportunities for recreation
and pleasure as will conducive to their
health. We hope that this system will
be adopted, at least by the Dry Good
1 they do but little business after
that hour.

It is no more than natural that any
should think that any particular kind
of a sowing machine that they have been
using is better than those of any ether
make. What constitutes a good machine
that it shall be well made, simple, and
to require but little power to run it, and
to do a great variety of work. The plain
American machine fills all these require
ments, and the ladies aro requested to
call at Leitner & Frickers and try it, be
fore deciding to purchase any other
kind. jun!4
