Tlic Seminary.
Says tho North-eastern Progress: “The
first “Commencement” for the Baptist Fe
male Seminary, at Gainesville, occurred
during last week, and judging from favora
ble accounts of the press, the friends of the
institution and the large and worthy denom
ination to which it belongs, have every
cause for congratulation at t o success of
the enterpri e, thus far; and with each suc
cessive “Commencment” we hope to hear of
a continued realization of the brightest an
ticipation of its friends.
Tile Paupers’ Home.
This charitable institution of Hall county
is located ten miles east of Gainesville, on
the Oconoc river, and is presided over by G.
W. York. There are at present ten inmates,
alt very old persons, and some of them have
nice gardens by their own labor. The pre
mises are neatly kept, everything clean and
nice, and reflects much credit on the keeper.
The farm is in line condition, about thirty
five acres in cultivation. We think Mr.
York is tho right man in the right place.
Gy in nasi ics Extraordinary.
To look at Wiley Reed one would take him
for a solid inuldoon of a citizen, that would
no more think of cutting tho double shuffle
than tho moon would thick of wearing the
same quarter a whole month. But Wiley
can dance upon occasion for all that - The
other day he was walking out on his farm
with a couple of friends, and while stopping
to state some weighty fact, a lizard came
galloping along and concluded to explore
Wiley’s pants leg. The boys say that he
“all hands round,” crossed away and turned
a gum stump without anybody calling the
figure. The combatants were finally parted
before any serious damage was done, but
Wiley says it gives him the cold chills to
think of a lizard.
A Fearful Drouth.
Tho awful drouth that has existed in many
portions of our State for weeks and weeks
past is the most fearful and alarming one
since tho noted drouth of 1845. Thus it is
in portions of Walton, Putnam, Hancock,
Greene, Oglethorpe, Wilkes, and other
counties: Upland corn is a total failure; cot
ton will not make one fourth of a crop, even
with plenty of rain from uow on, and bot
tom crops are hopelessly injured. It will be
remembered by many of our readers that in
1840, the year after the noted dry year,
thousands of corn was hauled from this
county to Elbert aud Wilkes in wagons.
While we are uow more blessed and favored
than our suffering neighbors, we are never
iheless warned to husband and carefully
save everything that will feed man or beast,
as it will most certainly be in great demand.
In this connection we might advise our far
mers to sow their stubble lands in peas
where it is possible Peas make good for
age and lots of it.
Cnpt. YVoUlrldge’s Lttluri.
Csptain John H. Woldridge delivered his
popular lecture, “Home Life,” at tho court
house on Tuesday evening, the 9th inst., to
a good audience. We,can heartily join with
all who heard this lecture in expressing our
high appreciation of it as a tine literary- pro
duction, and we unhesitatingly endorse the
high encomiums it has received from the
press generally. While it is overflowing
with valuable and instructive suggestions as
to how to make happy homes aud happy
hearts, yet it abounds with a sufficient
amount of wit and humor to render it the
more attractive. Captain Woldridge is an
ex-Coufederate soldier, and lost both of his
eyes in that hotly contested battle at Perry
ville, Ky., in 1852, which rendered him un
able to follow the profession which he had
chosen—the law—and has therefore adopted
lectuiin : as a moans of making a living,
aud we isk lor him that liberal patronage
he so richly deseives.
TRUSTEES REPORT.
The Trustees of the Georgia Baptist Fe
male Seminary.
7o the people of Northeast Georgia and friends
of education everywhere:
We, the Trustees of the Georgia Baptist
Seminary for young ladies in Gainesville,
beg ieave to state that we have attended the
first annual Commencement of said institu
tion, and feel that we cannot too highly
recommend it to the patronage of the pub
lic.
THE FACULTY
Is composed of Rev. W. C. Wilkes, A. M.,
President, Rev. T. P. Cleveland, A. M.,
assistant in ancient languages and English
literature, Miss Annie Hornady assistant in
French and principal in primary depart
ment, and Mrs. M. F. VanHoose principal
of the department of music—vocal and in
strumental, and instructress in fancy and
ornamental department, for the ensuing
scholastic term.
THE ENTIRE EXAM NATION
Showed that the school had received the
most thorough instruction without being
drilled for the special occasion. The grad
uating class consisted of five young 'adie3,
who e thorough deportment and ladylike
deportment satisfied this board that they
were well worthy the honors of the institu
tion. And this board cheerfully recom
mended their graduation.
The Junior, Sophomore and Freshman
classes exhibited thorough training in the
Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Ancient
Classics of their respective classes especial
ly in Latin readings and compositions.
The primary classes under Miss Hornady
and the classes in French sustained them
selves well, and exhibited a knowledge of
first principles rarely attained by children
of their age. All of which fully satisfied
the board that their efficient teacher had
lully discharged her duty.
But wo were struck most forcibly with
THE CLASS IN MUSIC
Under the management of Mrs M. F. Van-
Hoose. Alter a long and searching exami
nation ou tho rudiments of music we were
satisfied that no ; aius had been spared in
their instruction and that no better school
of music is to be found auy where.
THE DISCIPLINE OE THE SCHOOL
appears to be kind, wholesome and effective,
and the pupils contented and happy.
THE HEALTH OF THE SCHOOL
during the past term has been remarkably
good. No serious case of sickness has oc
curred among tho pupils during tho whole
scholastic year.
BOARD IS CHEAP.
It can be had in good families from $8 to
$lO per month. The President exercises a
constant oversight over girls hoarding in the
city as well as over those boavding in his
own family.
THE UNIFORM DRESS
makes the cost of dress a mere trifle. Ex
pensive apparel and supeifluous and costly
jewelry are excluded.
NO PURER AIR OR WATER
can be found on this continent than is to be
foun l in Gainesvile. This fact has been
recognized by the thousands of visitors who
resort here eveiy summer for health -
The peoplo of Gainesville aie moral, in
dustrious and intelligent, and church facili
ties are ample.
Iu short, we feel that this institution, with
its favorable surroundings and its learned
and efficient faculty, may safely be recom
mended as one of the best institutions for
the education of young ladies, iu the south.
And that it recommends itself to the sup
port, sympathy and confidence of the friends
of female education everywhere, especially
when we consider that it is located in a sec
tion of country to which the priviledges of a
liberal female education have not heretofore
been extended. Thus far the institution, the
foster daughter of the Baptist denomination
and the free-will offering of the friends of
female education everywhere, has succeeded
far beyond our most sanguine expectations.
But, while much has been accomplished in
the last twelve months, much remains to bo
done, while we have ample buildings to ac
commodate 150 pupils, the rapid increase of
the school daring the past term admonishes
us that other and more commodious build
ings will soon become necessary. And we
earnestly call on the friends of female educa
tion everywhere, to come to our aid with
their contributions, and help us in building
up an institution where the mind, heart and
hand of the daughters of Georgia may bo
polished alter the similitude of a palace, and
they prepared for the high and responsible
duties of life.
Very respectfully,
David E. Butler, President,
D. G. Candi.kr, Vice President.
D. E. Banks, Treasurer,
O. B. Thompson,
J. W. Bailey.
Note.—The fall term will open on Mon
day, Sept. Ist.
A few days vacation will be given during
Christmas week.
Gainesville District Conference.
The Gainesville District Conference met
at Canton, Ga., July 10, 1879. Kev. J. F.
Mixon, P. E., presided with dignity and
ability. The pastors of charges wore all iu
attendance, except two or three who sent
reports and had valid excuses for absence.
A large number of local preachers were
present, and a fair delegation of lay mem
bers and delegates. Gainesville was repre
sented by Revs. Lowery, LaHatte and Brad- '
ley.
Prof. C. B LaHatte was elected secretary,
and Dr. H. S. Bradley assistant.
The spiritual state of the church was
thought to be generally good; Sunday
schools progressing finely; finances a little
behind in some charges, but fully up in one
or two; some revivals in different parts of
the district; and nearly all the churches liv
ing in peace with themselves and with their
neighbors.
Dr. Bradley preached an able sermon
Wednesday night. Conference opened
Thursday, 9a. m. Kev. W. P. Smith, of
Duluth preached at 11 a. m. His was a
very interesting sermon, especiavy the lat
ter part.
Rev. H. M. Quilliau, of Lawrenceville,
preached Thursday; Rev. Pate, on Friday
at 11; Rev. M. J. Cofer, Friday night; Rev;
R. A. Eakes, Saturday at 11; Rev. Perry
man, Saturday night; Rev. C. B, LaHatte,
Sunday at 11, at Methodist church; Rev. A.
W. Rowlen, at Baptist church at 11, and
Rev. H. S. Bradley at night. Two pro
fessed religion on Sunday nigi.t. The meet
ing was continued by the pastor, Rev. E. K
Akin, with a fair prospect for a good revi
val.
We had a pleasant stay in Canton; the
people are generally cultivated, and very
generous iu their hospitality. I never saw
a conference better treated.
Canton is a growing little towii already,
but tbe M. & N. G. R. 11. under the careful
management of Gen. Phillips is doing more
to improve the place than was even dreamed
of two years ago. The delegates that went
by rail are under obligations to Gen. Phil
lips for a free trip over his bea.itilul road-
We wish him, Canton, and the railroad all
success.
I The next conference is to be held at Law
renceville. S. E. C.

“Jack Plane;” the able and conscientious
correspondent of the Savannah News, has
tho following to say of our young townsman
Mr. Henry Perry, in his letter from the Ox.
ford Commencement: “At four o’clock
Henry Perry, Esq., of Gainesville, but a
Savannah boy, delivered the “alumni ad
dress.” Being an honored son of Emory
-for he graduated with the first honor in
the class of 1870 the audience expected
somethi >g above ordiuary. He chose for
his theme “Wuat a College Should be, or a
Plea for a Higher and a Broader Educa
tion.” He commenced very deliberately; in
fact the only objection heard was that he
threw a lit tle too much of the law in his style
of speaking and acting,lout these were minor
affairs, as he succeeded iu keeping an audi
ence of several hundred people interested
and attentive for one hour and a half on
that hot afterioou. That was a good test
of his power. His plea for the retention of
the classics in collegiate instruction as the
only foundation of a thorough and broad
scholarship, was not only eloquent, but it
was convincing in argument. His prefer
ence for the college system of instruction
over that of the university courso was most
forcibly and clearly presented. His criti
cism of the common school system as ad
ministered in Georgia was anything but
complimentary. Much of his address was
extempore, but it gave evidence that he had
thoroughly studied his subject. Congratu
lations were showered upon the young ora
tor from every quarter. Neither Emory
College nor Savannah have any reason to
be ashamed of their son. He honored both
as well as himself.
The Family Sewing Machine.
The invention of that superior and com
plete sewing machine (The Family Shuttle
Machine), marks one of the most important
eras in the history of machinery, and when
we consider its great usefulness and extreme
lv low price ($25), it is very difficult to con
ceive of any invention for domestic use of
more or even equal importance to families.
It has great capacity for work; beautiful,
smooth, and quiet movement, iapid execu
tion, certainty of operation, and delightful
ease, that at once commends it above all
others. The working parts are all steel; the
bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the stitch
is the firmest of all stitches made, neat and
regular, and can be regulate l in a moment
to sew stitches from an inch iu length on
coarse material down to the finest, so infini
tesimal as to be hardly discernable with the
naked eye, and with a rapidity rendering it
impossible to count them as fast as made; it
does to perfection all kinds of heavy, coarse
plain, fine or fancy needle work with ease,
and far less labor than required on other
machiues. It needs no commendation, the
r ipid sa'es,increasing demand,and voluntary
encomiums from the press, and the thous
ands of families who use them, amply testi
fy to their undoubted worth as a standard
and reliable household necessity, extending
its popularity each day. This popular ma
chine can be examined at the office of this
paper. Agents wanted by the company-

Teeth extracted without pain at Dr
Adair’s Dental Palace.
How many persons speak indistinctly
from the simple want of having a full set of
teeth. A.
Save your teeth ! Don’t allow the
‘ ‘hard trines” to bo an excuse for their
neglect.
Dr. 11. It. Adair, Dentist,
Candler Block, Gainesville, Ga. All op
erations performed in a skillful manner, and
charges very reasonable.
It is economy as well as the part of wis
dom to have your teeth filled before they
become badly decayed. Many teeth can be
filled and permanently saved for about the
usual charge for extractiug. R. B. Adaib.
Poets in all ages have descended from
their traditional garrets to sing the praises
of beautiful teeth; and no person in appear
ance can claim either dignity o. comeli
ness without good natural teeth or their
artificial substitutes. R. B. Adaib.
Dr. Adair is the only dentist in this sec
tion who procures a license for the privilege
of using rubber as a base for artificial teeth.
Rubber or vulcanite are the only cheap
and durable materials, that can be used for
artificial teeth. All other cheap things that
i you see advertised are but faint delusions.
Decayed teeth are always a fruitful
source of disease, vitiating tho saliva,
aud infecting the blood at every inspir
ation. Decayed tooth substance, when
viewed through the microscope, reveals
myriads of animalcules, called parasites;
these cause a disagreeable breath, which
is always repulsive. The remedy for
all these evils can be had at Dr. Adair’s
office.
