School I xliibition nt Grange Hull.
Trof. E. A. Davis, who is teaching an
interesting school at Grange Hall, gave
a public exhibition with his school on
last Thursday night, the sth inst. It
consisted in speeches, compositions
end dialogues. Prof. Davis spared no
pains in the preparation for this very
enjoyable occasion. The scholars all
evinced a remarkable degree of tact
and skill in the -rendition of their
respective parts. I have been at and
enjoyed many exhibitions, both in city
and country, aud it is with pride and
pleasure that I say this one was as
nicely conducted and as pleasant a one
as I ever witnessed. Ail did well—
there was not a single solitary failure
from the infant orator to the young
lady and young gentlemau. I would
give you the programme in full, but it
would perhaps tax your space too
much. The patrons of husbandry in
the vicinity have built a good hall for
their own use, and have very kindly
set it apart for school purposes. This
is a standard community—enterpris
ing and thrifty. We might mention
the names of John M. Merritt, John
Gaines, R. D. Hawkins, Silas Harris,
S. C. Jackson, Ira Gaines, Mr. Fuller,
Francis Hudgins, Samuel Pool and
many others. The Eagle is very popu
lar among these people.
Prof. Davis will teach tho next year
at this place, and we predict a pleasant
and profitable year for both teacher
and pupils. Visitor.

Mt. Airy Institute.
Editor Eagle: Will you permit me
to call the attention of your readers to
a school for young ladies, that has re
cently been opened at Mount Airy,
Georgia ? It takes the name of the
place where it has been started, being
called the Mount Airy Institute for
young ladies. Mount Airy is situated
on the Atlanta and Bichmond Air-line
road, eighty miles from Atlanta, and
from its elevation, climate and health
fulness, the location is peculiarly favor
able for a girls school.
The principals of the Institute are
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Dean, both compe
tent and experienced teachers. For
many years before the war, they had
charge of the Female Institute in
Knoxville, Tennessee. The subscriber
was then a resident of that city, and
had an opportunity for judging of the
qualifications of Mr. and Mrs. Dean.
I do not hesitate to express my con
fidence in their ability to maintain a
school of high order. Such an Insti
tute as they propose will be a great
public benefit, and will add to the edu
cational facilities and advantages of
the section of the State in which it is
located.
New and commodious buildings will,
when completed, accommodate over
one hundred boarding pupils.
The principals will be assisted by an
efficient corps of teachers in English,
Ancient and Modern Languages, Mus
ic, Drawing, Painting, etc,
I trust this enterprise will meet
with great favor from the people of
North Georgia, and that many parents
will send their daughters to be eduoa>
