5111.1.1 \UL CO.TITIISSC’IiMEN'T.
Thursday morning by 10 o’clock, a
good number of our.citizens from
town and country bail assembled
in the chapel of Hilliard Institute to
witness the opening of commence
ment exercises in that institution.
The programme contained twenty
fofir names as speakers, divided into
two sections, the speakers of each
section contending for a prize.
After the opening song by the school,
followed with prayer by Dr. Branham,
the oratorical contest was begun by
Master Banks McGinty, who told us
about the “Death of Warren.” Suc
ceeding him was Master Gus Rudisili
who informed his hearers that “Peo
ple will Talk.” Master Joe Napier
told the audience about “Little, Ah!
•Sid.” Willie Smith informed his
attentive listeners that it was best to
have nothing to do with “The Hornet
Nest.” Charlie Jackson declaimed
upon “Contentment.” Lee Napier
was prepared to say what is best to do
and say “When You 3leet a Lady.”
Willie Parker entertained the crowd
by telling them of “Jennie Malone.”
Paul Amos spoke about the “School
Boys Song.” Charlie Ponder called
attention to the “Little Boys Speech.”
The basis of Mark White’s oration
waif “I Never Made a Speech Before.”
Clifford Banks excited the curiosity
of his hearers by asking “What’s in
My Pocket,” and when they all
had failedto guess he politely informed
them tiiat there was “nothing in it,
but a great big hole.” Next followed
a class recitation by these same
speakers, which ended the exercises
of the first section, the little boys, all
having performed their part well.
Tiie programme for the second sec
tion was headed by Chestney Smith
who gave us the “Supposed Speech
of John Adams.” Hillier Rudisili
discoursed upon “Bingen on the
Rhine.” “Barron’s last Banquet,”
was the subject handled by Audibon
Ponder. Ricks Riley turned the at
tention of His auditors to “The Death
of the Drunkard.” John Mashburn
orated upon “Edenburgh After Flod
den.” Willie Amos told us “What a
Boy Thought About Things.” Elbert
Banks pictured the harrowing scene
of “Custars Last Charge.” Clifford
Alorse insisted, that no matter what
may be our surrbundings, we should
“Press On.” Walker White carried
the old soldiers hack, in memory, to
the “Battle of the Wilderness.”
Crawford Anderson told “The Sear
gent’s Story.” Willie Sneed, ad
dressed the audience upon “The Fate
of Virginus,” which closed the pro
gramme of the second section.
At 8 p. m. before a crowded house
the Hermean Society debate began,
with Col. O. 11. 15. Bloodworth in the
chair. Messrs. B. F. Hill and R. L.
3laynard, for the affirmative, and F.
H. Johnson and 31. W. Gross for
the negative discussed for nearly two
hours, the question “Resolved, that a
common school education should be
required as a qualification for Suf
frage,” at the conclusion of which dis
cussion the chair ruled in favor of the
affirmative. Notwithstand the ques
tion was one of great weight, the
young gentlemen acquitted them
selves well in the handling of it.
Next came the address to the stu
dents by Mr. Geo. T. Banks, which
contained sound advice, was well de
livered and full of encouragement to
those whose aspirations look to lofty
heights in literary attainments. The
two principle steps pointed out by the
speaker as leading to success in stu
dent life is perseverance, and depen
dence upon self effort. Without these
there is little or no progress in any
line of life. The thoughts brought
out in the address was clothed in
prettily rounded, rhetorical figures,
while its delivery was listend to with
attention by the large audience.
The exercises of both the morning
and evening passed otf pleasantly,
barring the fact that many who were
present to hear and enjoy the debate
were deprived of that pleasure by the
continued pic-nic-eau, black bird like
chattering in the rear part of the
chapel, which, from its superabun
dance in so cultured an audience cer
tainly must have been the out-growth
of inadvertence and forgetfulness of
the pla-e, but which nevertheless ev
idenced a disrespect for the teachers,
the school, the trustees and the occa
sion, as well as to the large number
who were want to hear. Knowing the
high culture and careful training of
the young people of the present day
we are loth to believe that such per
sistent indulgence in social hilarity
upon their part in college chapels
during commencement exercises
springs from a willful intent to violate
all the rules of politeness and propri
ety to the annoyance of the general
public.
Friday morning at 10 o’clock the
sceond days exercises began with a
good crowd in attendance* After
music by the class, ami prayer by

A. Q. RHODES,
85 Whitehall and 92 S. Broad Streets, ATLANTA, GA.
Rev. J. R. Parker 3lr. Wright Sim
mons addressed the audence upon
“The Responsibility of Our country.”
Mr. Henry Sharp descanted upon the
“Confederate Dead.” Mr. T. H. John
son stood for the “Vindication of the
Reconstructed South.” Mr. Earnest
Smith impersonated Americas great
Union Statesman in his sayings rel
ative to “Massachusetts aud Soutli
Carolina.” 3lr. Hollis Morse occu
pied the stage in giving his hearers
a “Eulogy on LaF’ayette.” 3!r. Ed
Napier impressed upon those before
him the “Duty of Literary Men to
their Country.” 31 r. E. L. Smith
gave us that never-to-be-forgotten
page of American history “Gen.
Washington’s address to his Army.”
Mr. Emmatt Johnson entertained the
audience with a striking commen
tary upon, “The Modern Cain.”
“Patrick Henery to the Convention
of Delegates” was the contribution of
Mr. B. F. Hill to the oratorical feast.
3lr. 31. 3V. Gross pointed his listening
auditory to the “Stars and Stripes.”
3lr. R. L. Maynard played upon the
strong language of the South’s most
eloquent orator who proclaimed “The
Soutli Once More in the Union.”
“Impeachment of Warren Hostings”
was the subject preseuieu by Mr.
Robt. Meritt. And here the morning
exercises closed. Space forbids ex
tended comment but we gladly an
nounce that the declamation was
good, reflecting credit upon the
young gentlemen and the school.
At 8 p. m. the chapel was again
well filled with people to witness the
closing exercises of the school, which
consisted of charades. The first piece
“A Sudden Arrival” was a laughable
farce in which the young men. partic
ipating performed their parts well,
and parts of which were the source of
much laughter. The “Japanese Fan
Drill” was so striking that it was
encored to the boards the second time.
The last act “Poisoned” was the
source of considerable merriment and
very well played.
At this point in the programme
came the delivery of the prize medals
for excellence in declimation, which
duty was aptly performed by our
townsman, 3lr. J. B. Williamson in
a few very appropriate remarks.
Grading upward the medal for the
first section was awarded to 3laster
Clifford Banks; for the second, to 3las
ter Chestney Smith, the tie between
him and Master Rix Riley being de
cided by lotery, and for the third sec
tion was won by 3lr. Robt. 3lerritt.
The exercises during the two days
was interspersed with good music by
the lady friends of the institute.
The last act which had not been
programmed was the announcement
of his resignation as principle of Hil
liard Institute, by Prof. Orr, who has
labored faithfully and done much for
the educational interest of this com
munity. We part with him aud his
with regret, sending with them the
earnest hope that his labors in a future
field may be crowned with uninter
rupted success.

NVednesday evening last Mr. M. G.

at Sharps corner, and gave a free treat
to cream, to the ladies of Forsyth.
’Tis needless for us to say that his
saloon was well patronized on that
occasion, and that the cream was pro
nounced supurb by all who partook.
Having secured more commodious
and eonfortable quarters, all lovers of
this delicacy will find no better place,
during this summer weather, to spend
a short time pleasantly, than at the
saloon partaking of such delicious
cream as our friend 3liles will place
before them.

The Piedmont Exposition.
3lr. Thomas H. Willingham, of Al
bany Georgia, spent two or three days
in our city last week in the interest
of the Piedmont exposition. From
present indications and from the ef
forts being made by its executive com
mittee, this exposition promises to be
a grand enterprise that will in our
opinion be far reaching in its benefits.
Intimations have been thrown out
that it will confllict with the state
tail* at 3racon, which comes a few
days after. We do not think so. On
the contrary we incline to the opinion
that it will prove an aidor and abettor
to the state fair. Indeed we regard
both the state fair and the exposition
as splendid mediums for advertising
extensively tho products and resour
ces of Monroe county. And hence
we stress the fact, as important that
yfonroe county should have the best
possible exhibit at each. The premi
ums offered at each are valuable and
worth contending for. And if 31011-
roe shall win the premiums or shall
not win them, her best effort to do
so, will prove, in our judgement, of
incalculable benefit to her peopie in
the not distant future. In discussing
this question our people should re
member that all articles, save perish
able vegitables &c., placed on exhibi
tion at the Piedmont can be easily
transfered to the state fair, and there
by obtain two extensive advertise
ments.
The Advertiser oposes neither of
these agricultural exhibits, nor favors
one above the other, but would have
our 3lonroe county people take stock
liberally in both.

Dr. Branuani at Hrwiisvillc,Tcun.
Of the recent Alumnam address of
Dr. Branham at Brownsville, Tenn.,
the States Democrat says:
“The address by Dr. Branham, of
Georgia, was the crowning dish in
the “feast of reason and How of soul.”
It was indeed a cornet glittering with
gems of precious stones and thoughts
of gold, more rare and beautiful than
that which Queen Victoria wears by
the grace of her subjects. His theme
was “How to live to do the most good.”
It was said by a distinguished orator
in England that no speaker could
hold a hungry house. But Dr. Bran
ham held a hungry if not weary audi
ence spell-bound from 1 o’clock to
2:15 p.m. And when he concluded
there was a perfect ovation of his
friends, Fie was prosented with an
exquisite bouquet, on behalf of his
old pupils, by 3fr. W. W. Rutledge
in a handsome manner. Dr. Branham
was for six years president of this col
lege, and some of the brightest women
of the land speak his thorough work.
It has been thirteen years since he left
the college. He graduated fifty young
ladies durihg his administration, of
whom only four have died in thirteen
years. Of his graduates thirty-seven
have married in that time. The mor
tality amongst them has been less,
and matrimony more, than the aver
age in such cases. This shows that
they were taught to attend to the con
ditions of health and attractiveness.
No man ever lived iu Brownsville
whose life has been more blameless
and lovely than Dr. Branham’s, and
no one has so stirred the depths of
love and affection.

1 iano box and patent boot. A good bug
for the money, and its low price places it
within the reach of every one. We have
narrow body buggies to please the young
men, and double buggies for the men with
families. And upon short notice, can order
any kind of a vehicle made. It will pay

PAINT! PAINT!
We have on hand a large lot of MYER’S
METALIC PAINT. Made especially for
roofs, and all rough outside woik. It is the
best paint made for tin or shingle roofs.
Tiie action of water upon it does not effect
it like it does other paint. The elastic
body contracts arid expands with tin or
other metal and will never crack or scale
off. The Central Railroad use it on their
ears, the Eagle and Phenix mills use it
the iarge mills, at Dalton, are painted with
it. roofs at the Hotel in Forsyth are painted
with it. Messrs. J. L Cater, Cyrus Sharp,
W. T. Maynard, 11. J. Land and a good
many around Forsyth have used it and its
the CHEAPEST PAINT in the market
to any one who contemplates painting this
summer, we invite them to see us, as we
can make it to their interest.
