Clarke, of the Atlanta Constitu tion, Mr J. C. Goodwin, of the Atlanta Herald, Dr. Blackburn, of the Barnesville Patriot, and Messrs. McMicbael and Turner ol the Thomaston Herald, Mr. E. P.

The recoguiz-d character ol Mr. Willingham, as a thoroughly ac complished and talented editoi, iu connection with Mr. E. P. Speer, whose Intelligence and versatile genius has already added much to hi 5 paper, will make the Siar, more'acceptable and aop.tciftblo, probably, than at any time In its hirtory. Painful Accident.— Miss Mattie Stanford, a young lady residing In the county, was thrown from a buggy during the Commencement exer cises last week, and had her collar bone broken. Miss Stanford was In the act of getting out ol the buggy, when some careless person came dashing by—alarming the horse attached to the buggy, in which she was standing. Dr. J. B. Turner was called to her assistance and adjusted the broken bone. He informs us that she is recovering rap idly. A Successful Operation.—On last Wednesday Dr. Voorhces, of Memphis,Tenn. and Dr. Turner, performed in the presence of a large number of the members of the Medical Society a very diffi cult optical operation on the eyes of a negro man. They removed a Pterygium from his eyes, which had almost entirely obscured the sight. The negro is rapidly improving. We saw the operation performed and take this occasion to say In our judgement, it was performed with skill and tact. Cotton Gins.— We direct the attention of our farmers to theadvertisementof Mr. P. C. Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer offer* to the public the Eclipse and Griswold Gins, which have won much favor. These gins with the improvements, have taken three premiums. The constant and increasing demand for them, with the great number of vol untary testimonials, furnishes sufficient evidence tojwarrantus in Baying, that they are better adap ted to the use of our farmers than any now offer ed for sale. Mr. Bawyer is doing great service to the farmers in the manufacturing of these gins; and is in every way responsible and reliable. Give him a call. PVKCHASE AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.—We Call the attention of our readers to the petition of the incorporators of the above named Association. The movement to organize the institution was put on foot some time ago by the banking firm of W. L. Lampkin <S Cos. We are glad to announce that the stock has about all been subscribed, and as soon as the Charter can be obtained an organisa tion will be had. With such stockholders as Lampkin A Cos., and others—gentlemen who are not only solid and strong as to financial standing, but who rank high as first-class financiers—we confidently believe that the Association will be a great success, and of great benefit to our people generally. Important Action,—A number of influential citizens of Foisyth met on last Friday for the purpose of taking into consideration and inaugu rating a movement looking to the location of the Georgia Military Institute at this place, if the Leg slature should see fit to re-establish the same. On motion ot Capu tl. G. Bean, Dr. J. S. Law ton was called to the chair. Several gentlemen presented plans and schemes u> attain the end so ighv and alluded to the Incalculable benefits to be sec ired by sur county and town by the location ot this luotiiuUou at this p*ace.

Lawton, Chairman, W. D. groxa, 80. College Commencement. Junior and Senior Exhibition— Grand Success—Judge Trippe— Rev. Dr. Dixon—President Asbury—Royal Festival —Alum men Address— Grand Finale. At an early hour on Monday evening, the intel ligent, beautiful and gallant—a large number of whom were visitors—assembled in the chapel, to witness the |melo-dramatic cantata, entitled “An hour in Fairy Land." At 8 o’clock, and as the clock struck twelve, the curtain rose, displaying a stage decked with evergreens, and apparently with scenery of the most natural and attractive beauty. In a moment, Miss Laura Lee, of Atlanta, with majestic and queenly grace, strode across the stage, followed by a train of at iea-i twenty attendants, clothed in the most beautiful and costly attire. As they filed across the stage the opening chorus was suDg; “ Hail! all our Bovrrigns.” The different impersonations in the Cantata were represented with much credit by Miss Kate Hillyer, as “Fairy Crickett,” with the song, “ Though Home be Dark and Poor,” and ending with the Tableau “ Cotter’s Saturday nigbi.” Miss Mattie Danielly, as “Fairy True Heart,” Miss Loula A>bnry, as “ Fairy Fan,” Miss Lizzie Gibson, as “ Fairy Good Will,” Miss Emma Hillyer, as “ Fairy Content.” The Queen, after the last tableau, with royal condescension, returned thanks to her subjects, and crowned the Fairies Content and Good Will, after which her Royal Majesty bade her subjects “ Good night,” and retired amid the most enthu siastic applause. The exercise* of the evening were concluded by the reading of a composition, by Miss Lizzie Gibeon, on the subject of “Fash ions.” The entertainment was highly satisfactory, re flecting much credit upon the Athenean Society. At 11 o’clock on Tuesday the JUNIOR EXHIBITION came off. The number of persons present to wit ness the exercises, were large and appreciative. The essays read by the young ladies were sensible, pointed and gave unmistakable evidence of high mental culture. The first composition was read by Miss Augusta M. Greer, on “ What Must it Be?” It was read well and gave evidence of a mind well trained. The “Beauties of Nature’’ were splendidly conceived by Miss Sallie A. Garland, of Upson county, Ga. Miss C. J. Toleson de lighted the audience with an interesting and well written essay on “ The Links of Gold.” Miss Cordelia Hornady, on the subject “What Does it Cost?” was listened to with much interest, as she presented illustration* and views of a kind cal cul&ted to astonish the most careless. Miss Eliza B. Newsom, of Washington county, read a well written composition on “ Our Mission.” “ Will it Pay ?” in the hands of Miss Raifee S. Sneed, was presented in every phase of life with the most happy effect. Miss Sallie B. Carswell, of Jefferson county, selected, as her subject, “ Drawing and Painting.” Miss Katie Banks was kept from read ing her composition, on the subject, “It Might Have Been,” by domestic afflictions. The com positions read by the Juniors were BRILLIANT, CHASTE AND SENSIBLE, and displayed much research and knowledge. JUDGE TBIPPE’S ADDRESS. In delivering the prize or gold medal to the successful competitor in the Sophomore Class, for the best rhetorical reading, Judge Trippe made a most brilliant and eloquent address, which won many encomiums, and gave general satisfaction to his friends and admirers. DIBS EMMA AMCS was awarded the prize. Her subject being “ Cur tain Lecture—Town Council of Forsyth,” which was lead with clearness, and which, as rendered by the fair young reader, produced the most happy effect upon the audience. To understand some of the points contained in the address of Judge Trippe, which we give below, it is necessary to state that a small fraction covered the numbers given by the Committee to two or three young ladies, and the piece read by the one who was awarded the prize, was of the Caudle Lecture character. In delivering the prize Judge Trippe said : “ I have been requested to act as the represent ative of the authorities of this Institution, and to present tUis beautiful medal to the one who has been pronounced entitlefl to it as the best reader of her class. The task is a pleasant one, and yet there are facts connected with the exhibition, made by this class on yesterday, which tend to abate, to eome extent, the pleasure of the office I now un dertaKe. • Where probably the hope* ran high, with such strong grounds on which to rest, and the merits of several were so great, it seems hard that the cold voice of the crtic had to resort to the rule ot vulgar fractiom iu selecting the one particular star, when the firmament had so many bright and beautiful ones which had to be passed by. But judgment has been pronounced, and I cheerfully execute the decision ol the Committee. “ This medal is given as a prize for the best specimen of rhetorical reading. To read well is a worthy accomplishment—one to be much de sired ; but remember that the prize has been won in a contest where the voice has performed an im portant part—where word* rightly pronounced, and with the right emphasis, were made the touchstone of success. The thought is sugges tive. Words are important things in human af fairs, and the manner of their utterance ofttimes controls their meaning and determines their pow er. When fitly spoken they are ‘ like apples of gold in pictures of silver.* But the same authority says ‘lt is better to dwell iu thecorner of a house top than with a brawling woman in a wide house.’ Solomon, in his grand delineation of the charac ter of a good and virtuous woman, says she open eth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Recollect then that the voice—the tongue and its utterances—will tell much that may deeply affect your peace and hap piness, and the happiness of those by whom you are surrounded. Let its governing rule be the law of kindness. “ Permit me to say to the successful competitor, as probably in your first contest you have gained this prize, and as it is made of the most precious of metals, let it suggest to you the golden rule— do unto others as you would have them do unto you. An observance of this high injunction will bring down upon your pathway through life the choicest and richest ot blessings, so that you will be satisfied there are other golden streams than the old fabulous river, and many flowery heights besides the mythical mountain of the poet. “ To all I would say, observe this, and mayhap in the not far distant future you will discover that it will not be in your lives there will be iound any complaining, grumbling Mrs. Caudle, ready to 6cold her ti uant lord for prolonged visitations at the sittings of City Councils or of Masonic Lodges. Do this, and be assured that there will, at the proper time, always be a happy quorum at home—a quorum whose votes will be unanimous and whose deliberations will be governed by tne law of peace, of kindness and of love. May it be so with each and all of you.” THE GRAND ANNUAL CONCERT. By 9 o’clock on Tuesday evening the Chapel was filled to its utmost capacity, with one of tbs most fascinating and imposing audiences ever as sembled in the city of Forsyth, on any occasion. The increasing excitement and the nnnsnai num ber of the spectators was not only a source of general remark, but was a matter of gratification to the Board of Trustees and the patrons and friends ot the Institution. -Under the guidance of Prof. Bechtar, whose rep utation as a success! nl and accomplished mn&ician is State wide, one ot the most complete pro grammes was presented, coneisting of VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. Twenty-seven beautiful and charming young la dies lent their charms and musical talent to this grand Musical Ovation. Miss Kate Milledge sang with the happiest effect “ Douglas, Tend’rest and Truest." The singing of Misses Lee, Danielly, Gibron, Hillyer, and Asbury, and the excellent performance on the piano by Miss Leonora Lip man was very highly appreciated; from time to time rounds of deafening applause bunt from the enraptured audience as the young ladies rendered their difficult pieces. This portion of the exercises probably won as much commendation and praise as any of the oc casioa. We regret that the want of space forbids a more minute and particular reference. SENIOR EXHIBITION. On Wednesday, the 16th of July, the exhibition ot the Senior Class came off. The increasing ex citement of the week pervaded ail classes and drew so immense erowd together, and one pos sessing more beauty and magnificence tnan any ever assembled in the town. The exercises began with the reading of a Saluta tory by Miss Lula K. Asbury, which was read with unusual distinctness, end was sensible, pointed and unostentatious. Miss Leonora Lipman won the applause of the entire audience by a well written essay on the “ Whispers from the Pines.” “Thought,” wa3 a splendid composition and was finely read by the highly accomplished Miss Laura Lee, of Atlanta. Miss Lizz e Gibson read a satir ical essay from tbe subject “What Brought Ye Forth To-Day ?” She tripped like an enraged fairy from the faults of physicians, lawyers, wid owers aDd bachelors, not forgetting the members of the fourth estate. The faults of each were ex posed to thß wondering and amazed and tnee without leer or sympathy. She closed amid much applause. “Popular Absurdities” by idis3 Mat tie E. Danielly was sc ithieg in its terms and many writhed as the rebukes fell irom the lips of the handsome young lady. “ Life is Fleeting,” by Miss Lula K. Asbnry, was filled with the most tonching and tender reflections and was read with much pathos. “ Delirium Our Best Deceiver,” in th3 hands of Miss Emily J. HillyeY, was complete in its conception and rendered without fault. Mies Sallie P. Cabaniss having selected the Hovel sub ject of “Living on Stilts,” when she rose, the au dience became perfectly still and awaited with much excitement for the reading of her composi tion. She began with a clear, distinct voice and remained remarkably seif possessed and unmoved; without mercy she dealt with the faults and foibles of the whole geneialion of slilts walkers. Miss Kate Hillyer on the subject of “ Chaos and Cosmos,” displayed intellectual cul tivation of a high order. “ The Unattained, ”by Miss Mollie Phinazee, was received with praise by the large audience. It contained much philo sophical research, and was truly remarkable for one so young and tender. Miss Celeste Hutchins captivated the audience by reading a well writ ten article entitled “ Periscope,” in her inimi.able and wonderful style. The “ Valedictory ” was as signed by lot to Mies Lizzie W. Gibson. In the performance of the difficult task imposed she won the respect and admiration of all present. The parting of the Senior Class and their future duties and responsibilities were depicting in the most affecting terms, and as the lips gave utterance to sublime and melting sentiments, the tear glis tened on the unsullijd cheeks o' a large number of the Alumnss. In behalf of the Board of Trustees, President Asbnry conferred the second honorary degree on Miss Kate Milledge and Mrs. Henry Cabaniss, also the first nonorary degree upon the Senior Class; after which the Senior Class arose and sang a beautiful parting hymn to the tune of “ Anld Lang Syne,” which had been arranged by Miss Kate Mil ledge lor the occasion. BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS. President Asbury delivered one of the most feeling and eloquent baccalaureate addresses, that it has been our pleasure to hear for a number of years. Establishing at once, his character as not only one of the finest educated gentlemen of the country, but one of the most accomplished and elegant speakers. REV. JAMES DISKSON’S ADDRESS. Although the densely crowded audience ha£ sat for five hours spell bound, by the interesting exer cises above referred to, yet, when the distinguished orator arose and began to speak, they showed no evidence of weariness. Art and Literature being selected as his subject, was handled with ability. The Doctor is a deep and vigorous think er, and speaks wilh great eloquence and power. Though we have copious notes of his speech, yet we deem that any attempt to give a synopsis of his speech would do him great injustice. CALIBTHENIC EXHIBITION. On Wednesday night the Calisthenic class, con sisting oi about fifty members, under the direc tion of their accomplished instructress, Miss Fal ligant, gave an exhibition. The hall on this oc casion was brilliantly illuminated and splendidly ornamented. As the class stood upon the stage, dressed in the most gaudy and tasty costumes, the lookers-on became wrapt in wonder and amaze ment. Forsyth Cornet Band was present and fur nished music, by which the young ladies per lormed their charming evolutions. Each sped through the difficult maze with perfect ease and accuracy. As the exercises cbutinued, the blood crept with unseen stealth to the cheeks of the young performers, and sat wi:h blushing mod esty, reflecting upon the eyes of the bewildered auditory their magic beauty, like the pure dia mond reflects the rays of a falling sunbeam. ALUMNJBN FESTIVAL. On Wednesday letters were received from Eis Excellency, James M. Smith, stating that “on account of an encxpected and severe bronchial attack, that it would be impossible for him to be present.” This announcement was received with much disappointment, for it was anticipated with no ordinary interest; indeed, it was expected that his address would have become the “Head-Stone of the Corner,” in making the Commencement Exercises the grandest and most complete of any that has occurred in the State during the present season. At the instance of the board of trustees, Col. E. Y. Clarke, of the Atlanta Constitution, kindly consented to deliver an address to the Alnmna. By 8 o’clock, on Thursday evening, the chapel was again crowded, the number of persons pres ent seemed to have been magnified through some super-human agency. Dr. Jas. S. Lawton, President of the Board of Trustees, introduced Col. Clarke who improvised a happy little extemporaneous address, unique, or nate, and suggestive of thoughts which,elaborated, would have reflected credit upon the finest speaker. The ladies present and participating in the Fes tival were dressed in the most elegant attire, and seemed to vie with each other in the splendor of their beauty and the suavity of their blandishment. The supper furnished by the ladies was abun dant in quantity and rich in qualify. The gratifying success of the Commencement exercises will create a general State interest in the future welfare of the Institution. From the 16th, of July dates an epoch in the history of Mon roe Female College, which will continue to “ grow with its growth and strengthen with its strength.” The efficient and able Board of Trustees have elected, without exception, the same Faculty for the ensuing year. Middle Georgia Medical Scciett.— This body held their regular Annual Convention at this place on last Thursday. There was quite a large attendance and much business of importance was transacted. These conventions should be encour aged by the physicians; as an interchange of views and a regulation of the rules o! practice would doubtless result In much good. Georgia Military Institute.— We call spe cial attention to the important action of a number of onr citisens publish sd elsewhere, in regard to the location of the above named Institution, if the next Legislature should think proper to make an appropriation. It is proposed by parties who are moving in the matter, to get the legislature to pass a bill appropriating a sufficient sa m of mon- and also to locate the Institution at one of four places, offering the greatest inducement in the way of donations. Macon, Atlanta, Griffin, Marrietta and Forsyth, are proposed as tbe most desirable places. We hope onr citizens will real ize fully the importance of securing the location of the Institute at this place. We do not consid er the action of onr citizens premature, nothing can be lost and much may be accomplished. To The Afflicted. —Dr. Voorhees, a successful and reliable practitioner, in ear and eye deases is tempoarily located in Griffin, where he may be consulted, either personally or by letter, by those afflicted with deseasea of the above named organs. j uly 02 tf. The Alumn.ean Festival a Grand Success.— The night of the 17th of Jn’y will long, I haveco doubt, be remembered by the yonng and old, as the night of tbe Alnmnaean Festival. Tne evening was pleasant, the air having been purified by re freshing showers daring the afternoon. At an early hour tbe College chapel was filled with a vat audience who had assembled to listen to the en tertaining address of Col. Clarke, of Atlanta, and to participate in the enjoyments of the evening. The Colonel, attended by the trustees and fol lowed by the ladies of the Alummein Society, en tered the chapel at the appointed time and took the positions assigned them—the Colonel and the trustees on the rostrum and the ladies on the front benches, which had been reserved for them. Col. Clarke was then Introduced to the audi ence by Dr. James S. Lawton, of onr town, and delivered a speech which, though almost entirely unprepared, might have done honor to an older head than his. He was frequently interrupted by the applause of his appreciative audience. When the Colonel’s speech was finished and he had taken his seat there were loud cries for “ Hammond ! Hammond! ’ Onr honored townsman sat unmoved for a while, but at last his kind heart and gener ous impulse forced him up, and with character istic thoughtfulness, he turned the young gentle men over to the ladies, probably thinking they could make plenty of speeches for themselves without any octsidehelp. The crowd then gave themselves up to enjoyment and “Fairy Fnu” ruled supreme. In looking over the audience I could not help noticing three things: First, The number and great beauty of the young ladies visiting oar city during Commencement. Second, The beauty and taste displayed in the toiletts of all the ladies, both of those at home and from abroad; and, Third, The politeness and gallantry displsycd by the yonDg gentlemen. Forsyth ought to be prond of her young men, they were an ornament to the halls on this occasion. The young ..ladies especially, deserve praise; I venture to say that you might search from one side to the other of our sunny South and never find a more beautiial or better dressed assembly of young ladies. Georgia has reason to be proud of her jewels, and Forsyth furnishes her share of sparkling gems to the overflowing casket of the Empire State. In due time the vast assembly was invited by the polite and attentive committee to finish their interesting conversations at the supper table. I will take this occasion to congratulate the committee upon their excellent management. Perfect order prevailed wherever my observation extended. The tables were loaded with all the delicacies that heart could desire. The married ladies of Forsyth, deserve great credit for their untiring zeal and energy, in ar ranging such a perfect feast. Let us hepe that the young girls growing up around us will notice their mothers, and prepare themselves to take their places in society, and discharge their duty as nobly as do the ladies of to-day. During the evening crowds gathered around the piano and were highly amused and delighted by the manner in which Capt. Milledge sang, “ Stop thatjkr.ocking at the door.” His hearty laugh in the chorus had the desired effect upon his listnere, and burst alter burst of uncontrollable laughter greeted him on all sides. It was impossible to hear Capt. Milledge’s laugh without adding one of your own, which, if not as musical, was certain ly as hearty. After repeated “ encores he was induced to repeat the song a second time; and again the chapel rang with the hearty laughter of his listeners. His song is certainly the test cure for the blues that I know of. The assembly of young ladies and gentlemen lingered until about one o'clock, when they be gan to depart for their homes. I am confident that not one left but felt that they had never at tended a pleasanter festival, and wished to attend another such a one speedily, which wish 1 heartily indorse. Alma. A Strike. —We overheard several clerks, cn last Saturday, discussing the propriety of a strike for “ higher wages.” They justiiy the contempla ted movement on the ground that the young men visiting Forsyth, last week, had finer clothes than ihemselves, and as a consequence the young la dies did not notice them, j Weil, Hus movement will not only please the merchants, but will make farm hands more plentiful., Correspondence.

Tiie Career of a Great Remedy.— Twenty summers have elapsed since it w.s briefly an nounced that anew vegetable tonic and alterative, bearing tbe name of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, had been added to the list of preventive restora tive medicines. The modest advertisement which invited attention to the preparation stated that it had been used with great success in private practice as a cure for dyspepsia, bilious com plaints, constipation and intermittent fever. It was 60cn discovered that the article possessed ex traordinary properties. The people, of every class, tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant, cor rective and restorative, and found that its effects more than fulfilled their hopes and expectations. From that time to the present its course has been upward and onward, and it stands to day at the head of all medicines of its class, American or imported, in the magnitude of its sales and its reputation as a safe, agreeable and potent invig orant and restorative. For languor and debility, lack of appetite and gastric disturbances so com mon during the summer months it is absolutely infallible. Indigestiou, bilious disorders, consti pation, nervousness, periodical fevers, and all the ordinary complaints generated by a vitiated and humid atmosphere, vanish under its renovating and regulating influence.
