If there is any one tiling that a

Death.
M. Bowden, ,!
of this city, departed this
life at her home in Meriwether county,
having reached a ripe age. She was in
deed a saint in Israel, and left as a bright
testimonial a noble Christian record.
Her remains were placed at rest in the
family cemetery near her home by the
s '^ c l icr father and mother and other
members of the family who had preceded
her. The bereaved ones have our sym

attended by a good congregation. Col.
O. II. B. Bloodworth was tlie chief
spokesman and gave tlie children a good
talk, in which he stressed the influence
of children and pointed out the great
good that can he accomplished by them.
That service was quite interesting to all

were quite creditable.
A splendid service of song was had in

A REVIEW OF THE EXERCISES.
An Institution That is Worthy

ship.
opening Sunday morning, June 17th, was the
of the commencement exercises
of Monroe Female College. A large au¬
dience gathered in the college chapel at
11 o’clock to hear the sermon by Rev.
Dr. Hen,den, of Rome. The choir, com¬
posed of Mrs. Loula Banks, Mrs. O. II.
15. Bloodworth and Messrs. Calloway anil
Hill, rendered some beautiful music.
Doctor Headen read the lesson from the
13th chapter of 1st Corinthians, and tak¬
ing as his subject “Love, the Queen of
the Graces,” preached one of the strong¬
est and most beautiful sermons ever de¬
livered in tho college chapel.
Doctor Headen’s delivery is very at¬
tractive, and lie clothes his beautiful
thoughts in most chaste and simple lan¬
guage.
Sunday the night Doctor Ileaden preached
at Methodist church, and his sermon
of the evening gave as much pleasure to
his hearers as the one in the morning
had done.
Monday’s exercises.
Monday morning at 10 o’clock, in the
college chapel, occurred the Alumna: re¬
union, and a very attractive program
had been prepared by the loving daugh¬
ters of this noble institution. This being
the fortieth anniversary of the college,
made the occasion one of peculiar inter¬
est. There was a large number of the
Alumna: present, and this interesting
noblest gathering was composed of some of the
and most attractive women in
the state.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by duet, Doctor Headen, followed by a piano
tho overture from “Fra Diavolo,”
played by Misses Rosa Smith and Alice
Bramblett.
The welcome from the class of ’94 to
the Alumme was read most attractively
by Miss Rosa Pharr, who received the
first honor, and is also the youngest
daughter of one of the first graduates
from the college.
The class of ’54 had a charming rep¬
resentative in Miss Juliet Cabaniss, of
Atlanta, daughter of Mrs. G. A. Caba¬
niss, who was also one of the class of ’54.
Miss Cabaniss’ response was as dainty
and bright as her own sweet face and
lovely personality. Miss Allen and Miss
Amos sang the duet, “O, Wert Thou in
the Cauld Blast.” Their sweet voices
blended most beautifully.
Airs. Alex. AY. Bealer, of Atlanta, read
a most interesting paper on “AVoman’s
Professions.”
Aliss Lutie Collins, of Flint, played an
instrumental solo with a brilliancy of
touch and expression that called forth
enthusiastic applause.
The most beautiful piece on the pro¬
gram was the recitation by Aliss
Frances Singleton, “The Alonk’s Alag
nificat.” Aliss Singleton possesses a
musical, sympathetic voice, which was
well suited to this beautiful selection.
The duet, “Come to the Moonlit Lake,”
Sharp was sung and Miss very sweetly by Mrs. II. AL
Cora Bramblett.
Prof. P. D. Pollock, of Mercer Univer¬
sity, delivered the literary address to the
Alumnae, and in tlie subject matter,
beauty of thought aud language, the ad¬
dress was unsurpassed.
Airs. Loula Banks, of Alacou, has a
sympathetic voice, which was well suited
to the solo, “O, Ye Tears.”
The exercises were closed with the
singing of “Auld Lang Syne,” after
which many pleasant greetings and remi
nisences had were exchanged among those
who met together again in the halls
of their alma mater.
audience Monday had evening at S:30 o'clock a large
assembled to witness the
entertainment by the Junior and Sopho¬
more classes. Tennyson’s “Princess,”
dramatized, was presented, and the
young ladies are to be congratulated on
their excellent rendition of this beautiful
poem. Especial credit belongs to Aliss
Raifie Sneed, who arranged the program,
and who, assisted by Aliss Amos, drilled
the young ladies and had entire charge
of this difficult undertaking. Aliss Abbie
Ponder was lovely as Princess Ida, and
was a sufficient excuse for the Prince,
who was represented by Aliss Augusta
Center, daring the omino'us legend which
adorned the castle gate.
Miss Rosa Redding as Lady Psyche.
Miss Susie AYatts as Lady Blanche, and
Miss Louise Anderson as Afelissa. sus
tained tlieir parts most gracefully. Miss
Augusta Center, Florian as the Trince, Miss
Anne Sneed as and Aliss Clifford
Moore, as Cyril, weTe admirable in their
roles, as were also Aliss Alaude Proctor
as King Gama and Aliss Lillian Burton
as Nobleman of the court.
The costuming was veiy good, and the
play was interspersed with songs taken
from the “Princess,” and with the scarf
drill and aesthetic drill aud poses by the
maidens, who were lovely in their artistic j
Grecian gowns.
There was a piano duet well rendered
by Misses Virginia Cater and Bcttio
Hales. This opened the program, and
at the close of the “Princess” Meyer
beer’s “Coronation March” was played
with fine effect, as a quartet, by Misses
E. Brantley. Thomas, V. Cater, E. Sneed and II.
The evening’s entertainment closed
with a gossip pantomime by a number of
the young ladies, whose rosy cheeks and
bright eyes belied their old lady cos
tumes, consisting of black gowns with
white aprons, handkerchiefs, caps and
spectacles, but they carried out the part
most excellently, withal.
Tuesday’s exercises.
Exercises of the graduating class on
Talk” Tuesday were in the nature of “Table
upon the different authors studied
in English literature during the last two
years. It was entitled “A Ramble in
English Highways and Byways.” Miss
Mattie Watts, who conducted the “Table
Talk,” made a beautiful introduction in
which she gracefully foreshadowed the
line of thought running through tlie
“Table Talk”—the comparison of men
to trees. Then followed a charming
interchange of thought about groups of
authors. The first ones discussed were
Irving, Whittier, Emily Dickinson, Mil
ton, Jean Ingelow, Macaulay, Sidney
Miss Maud Hooks gave some of Miss
Dickinson’s dainty poems in a simple,
sympathetic manner that accorded well
with the exquisite poetry.
Miss Tallulah Fryer’s clear, ringing
voice was well suited to the matchless
sonnet on Milton by Wordsworth which
came into the discussion concerning
Milton,
Jean Ingelow’s beautiful poem, “Echo
and the Ferry,” was given with happy
effect by Miss Bessie Ponder, whose
execution of this difficult selection re¬
flected great credit upon herself and
must have been highly gratifying to her
teacher, Miss Allen.
Special attention was given to Geor¬
gia’s gifted son, Sidney Lanier, He was
illustrated by “A Ballad of Trees and
the Master”—well given in Miss Stella
Center’s sweet, grave voice, and by
“Uncle Jim’s Baptist Revival Hymn,”
recited in by ’
concert the class. This
part of the program was closed with
“Lanier’s May Song”—set to music by
Carmichael, SAveetly sung by Miss Bessie
Ponder.
The next group of authors consisted of
Swift, Addison, Steele, Thackeray, Rose
Terry Cooke, This Longfellow, Gray, “Anony¬
mous.” part of the discussion was
especially sprightly and interesting.
Aliss Alattie Leigh Turner’s selection
pherien,” from Rose Terry Cooke, called “St. Sym
was one of rare merit, and was
given with sympathy such naturalness and and real
depth of feeling that
many eyes were moist with tears.
Aliss Janie Napier had a selection by
“Anonymous/’ which giving a beautiful legend
of Arabia, showed the victory of
mother love oyer sin in her boy. Miss
Napier lias hitherto appeared before For¬
syth audiences with humorous selections,
and while humor is her forte, her friends
werejglad fined to see that her talent is not con¬
to that one line, arid hope that she
will cultivate tlie beautiful possibilities
of her voice.
The next authors discussed were Shakes¬
peare and Tennyson. This was opened
with Shakespeare’s “Orpheus AVitli Ilis
Lute,” (composer, Henry Parker)
which Aliss Maud Hooks sung with
much expression. It was very evident
that of the Shakespeare graduating is the intellectual idol
class. One of them
said in the discussion “that she loved
him with an everlasting love, and that
she felt like weeping when they finished
the play of ‘As You Like It’ a mouth or
two ago.”
One of the gems of the day was Ten¬
nyson’s the “Crossing the Bar,” recited in
sweetest voice and manner by Aliss
Rosa Pliarr, whose conspicuous part in
the “Table Talk” showed talent and in¬
dustry as a writer upon literary sub¬
jects. AA T e tins prediet a bright and useful
career for young lady who shows
the enthusiasm of a real student.
After the “Table Talk” was over, the
graceful presiding genius of the hour,
Aliss AA’atts, introduced to the audience
Aliss Stella Center as having a pleasant
secret to reveal. At this juncture, an
easel with a veiled portrait was brougnt
forward, and Aliss Center in a very happy
the way “Class gradually made the revelation of
Seniors had Secret,” stating that the
selected the portrait of an
author as a gift to the school to hang
upon the walls of the English Room.
During her appropriate and graceful
presentation, and the portrait was unveiled,
Hawthorne’s interesting face was
revealed, She closed with a beautiful
ti’iuute to him, aud Aliss Abbie Ponder,
of the Junior class, in a charmingly natu¬
ral maimer and in chaste English ac¬
cepted the portrait in behalf of the rising
Seniors.
President Powell’s baccalaureate ad¬
dress was full of earnest, helpful thought,
and will, no doubt, linger long in the
minds of the young ladies whom lie so
earnestly exhorted to have a purpose in
life. The degrees were then conferred
upon the graduating class, after which
Col. Robt. Hodges, of Alaeon, entertained
the audience highly with a bright and
interesting speech upon “Excellence in
AA'omanhood, the Foundation of Ameri¬
can Civilization.”
The young ladies’ familiarity with the
best authors and this unique and inter¬
esting program, which constituted their
graduating exercises, are due to Aliss
Allen, who occupies the chair of English
literature.
