BOWDON_ COLLEGE.
This Institution, now rapidly growing in
popular favor, was foui ded in 1856 and char
tered in 1857, for the purpose of placing a Col
legiate Education within the reach of the in
dustrious Farmer and Mechanic, as well as
those more highly favored. To tbisetid.'aU ex
penses of dress, style of living, tuition, and
board, have been reduced to the lowest practi
cable rates. All superfluities and luxuries are
discouraged, and a young man is estimated by
his ability, application and moral chajrueter,
rather than the cut and cost of his coat. With
a course of study, inferior to none, and a stan
dard of scholarship not below the highest, we
offer an education to the struggling youth of.
the Country at less than HALF the COST at
other Colleges of the same grade.
BOWDON COLLEGE
Is the tool of no Political faction, nor Religions
sect. No Btudent nor Citizen is prescribed for
political or religions opinions. We inculcate
the Christians Religion, not dogmas; patriotism
not office-seeking. .
BOWDON COLLEGE
Is free from that most fatal temptation to young
men, the retail of apirituous liquors. The in
corporation laws forbid it under a heavy pen
alty; and the Mayor and Council have fu l
power s to suppress disorder, remove nuisance,
and to promote the general good over a tori
tory of two miles in length and one and a halt
miles in width. We invite all Citizens in search
of a location remarkable lor good health, pure
Water, good society, wholesome laws, educe
tional facilities, find NO WHISKLY, to settle
among us. ’ **
BOWDON COLLEGE
Affords superior advantages to the honest Yeo
manry of Georgia. Observation proves that

There, true genins grows in its native forests,
nncorrupted by the cunning and craft, the

class ofstudents that our Institution is pecu

evils of a more artificial life.

Southern Character.
'1 he Southern people are eminent
ly c .nservative. They are not easily
led to extremes in politics, religion,
social customs, or modes of action.
They do not readily lake up with
tlie transcendental style of thought
which is manifested in higher law
and ctrines, spiritualism, woman’s
right- or communistic funeral pro
•esßiop. Southern society is eleva«
ted, refined, harmonious, compact.
It is not th * coarse, uncultivated
and inseeme thing which its ignorant
enen ies have so often delighted to
repiesent it.
We Bp< ak, of course, of what is
understood in a'l communities of the
real timber of society,that by which
ape ople should rightly be judged,—
In this respect the Southern people
m .y well rest satisfied in comp tri
sin with other s ctions of
our country. They mty noi, in
deed have gone so far, if it be desir
able to do so, in many of the arts of
'ong living, as have those or more
Northern latitudes; for many of
these very arts, while presenting
all the attractions of a splendidly
superficial civilization, are but the
whit and sepulchres which conceal
the rottenness within.
But in that refinement and culti»
vation which is born of honesty of
character and goodness of heart the
genuine Southerner has no superior
and but few equals.
Frank open-hear ed and generous,
honest by instinct and education, he
is as constant and true in his friend
ship as he is earnest and out spoken
in his enmities.
Such people are not given to mis
representation of themselves in the
eyes of others. They are easily and
quickly known, and are ready to
rdSpohd to similar sentiments in oth
ers.— The South.

The Niagara—An Appalling Suicide.
1 have had the curiosity to in
quire a good deal about the young
people who went over the falls in a
boat, about six weeks ago. The
tragedy has bo- n well written and
universally read how a young*man;
wiih his intended biide and her
bro her, hired a boat a few uoies
above, and, in attempting a ph as*
ure riue, were carried into the cur
rent and swiftly dashed over the
falls. I yesterday visited the place
where the boat was hired and talked
with many who were familiar with
all the incidents of the sad happen
ing, I was astonished to hear them
all agree lhat on the part of the
principal actor in the matter it was
a case of deliberate suicide. He had
run away from home with his fath
er’s m->nev, and was about to make
a forbidden marriage. He had got
his license, and was to have been
married lhat afternoon. He pro
posed a boat r de, to which his in
tended bride and her brothar con
stnted. He hired the boat in what
is called Chippewa creek, 'which
empties into the Ningtra river,
about two miles above the fulls. He
was warned of the dangerous cur
rent in the middie of the river, and
said he had no intention of going in
to it, but purposed to stay in the
creek, or to confine himself to the
quiet w-iter along the shore of the
river. He pulled directly for the
middle of the stream, which he
knew to be inevitable death, and
when the strong cunent struck the
the boat, and headed her for the
rapids and the falls, he made no es.
fort to avert his fate. A young
man who saw it all assured me yes
terday that it was a cl ar case of
intentional destruction—lhat after
the strong current had been leached
there was still salvation possible in
steering for the shore before she had
struck the rapids, but lhat no effort
of the kind was made at all. There
was no current to drift the boat in
to danger, as was demorstrated t >
tne yes erday in a boat ride over
several miles of Niagara river. It
must have taken strong pulling to
get to the heavy current, which
swept the unfortunate young people
to deßirueti“n. There was no pos
sible destination for the man in the
direction in which he was rowing—
across the river, and he certainly
cannot have hoped to row across that
swift current and back again un
harmed. Having gathered all the
facts attainable in the exact locali
ty of the tragedy, I am convinced
that the theory of design is more
plausible than the theory of acci
dent.—St. Louis Democrat.
Two men, disputing about the
pronuciation of the word ‘‘either”—
one saying it wasee-ther, the other
i-iher—agreed to refer the matter
to the first person they rnet, who
happened to be' an Irishman, who
confounded both by detluting ‘‘it s
gather, for it’s ath er”.
Western Trade
Western merchants have undoubt
edly had a hard time of it during
the l .st six mouths. Farmers have
felt exceedingly poor, and have
been obliged to practice economy to
a greater extent titan for some tinv
past. Notwithstanding the greater
value of wheat per bu.-hel, corn is
the great item in the prosperity of
the West and the activity of trade.
Mia nessota and Not them lowa have
been more prosperous than other
s ctions this year, because their
great product is wheat, which has
b en sustained at a comparativly
fair price, but the other sections,
whose great staples are corn and
pork, have been much depressed.
We believe, however, that a better
time is coming. The export de
mand for com is increasing, and the
revival of the export trade in high*
wines and alcohol toad.gree lhat
will exercise an important influence
on the price of corn seems more than
probable:
In regard to the crop of wheat in
Northwest, every report confirms
the opinion that theexportable sur
plus of wheat in the Northwest will
be much greater than ever before
known. In southern Wisconsin and
no'thern Ohio the amount of wheat
raised this venris nearly three limes
as much as in any previous one.
The area ol land planted was much
greater than usual, and the yield
throughout that section will be at
least fifty per cent, greater than for
sune years- The present aspects of
the foreign demand afford the pros
peel that the exportable surplus
will meet with rare market at fair
prices, thus raakinS a substatial
liasis for prospeiity and active trade
the Wes this fall and next spring.—
Chicago Tribune.
The Teaching of Grammar
I have been sendiu’ my darter Nan
cy toskool, and last Friday I went
over to the skool to see how she
wasgettin’ along, and I- seed things
l didn’t like by no means. The
skool master was larnin her things
entirely out of the line of eddyca-
»n ’, Is Ithink, Improper. J
set a while in the skool-house, and
heerd one class say their lesson.
The lesson that Nancy said was
nothin but the foolishest kind of
talk. The ridiclist word sed was
‘I love.’ I looke 1 at her for being so
improper, but she went right en and
sed, ‘*Thou lovest, and he lovest.”
And I reckon you never heard such
a rigmarole in your life—love, love,
love, and nuthin but love. She sed
one lime, “I did love.” Sez I, “who
did you luv ? The skollars laffed,
but I wasn’t to be put off and sed,
“Who did you love, Nancy?” The
skoolmaßter said he would explain
when Nancy hail finished the lesson.
This sorter pacified tne, and Nancy
went on with her awful talk. It got
wus and wus every word. She sed
“I might, could, or would love.” I
stopped her again, and sed I reckon
I would see about that, and told
her to walk out of that house. The
skoolmaster tried to interfere, but I
would no*, let him say a w’ord. He
sed 1 was a f>ol, and I made him
holler io short J ord> r. I talkt the
strate thing to him. I told him I’d
show how hede lam my darter
grammer. I got th" nabors togeth
er, and we sent him off in a burry
and I reckon t ha’ll be no more
grammar teachin in these parts
soon.
Boys Using Tobacco
It tends to the softening of the
bones, and it greatly injures the
brain, the spinal marrow, and the
whole nervous fluid, A boy who in
any way use3 large quantities of to
bacco is never known to make a m in
of much energy, and generally lacks
muscular and physical as well as
mental power. We would warn
boys who want to be anything in
the world, to shun tobacc > as most
baneful poison. A French physician
has investigated the effect of smok
ing on thirty-eight boys, between
the ages of nme and fifteen, who
were addicted to the habit. Twen
ty-seven presented distinct symp
toms of nicotine poisoning. In twen
ty-two there were serious disorders
of the circulation, indigestion, dull
ness of intellect, and a marked ap
petite for strong drinks. In three,
heart affection ; in eight, decided
deterioraiion of the blood ; in twelve
there was frequent epstaxis; ten
had distutbed sleep, and tour had
ulceration of the mucous membrane
of the mouth. It is easy then, io
see how the ranks of dissolute and
enfeebled men are recruited.
An up-‘own young lady, speaking
of one of her aversions, said the se
verest thing on record: “Hes almost
a perfect brute—b" only lacks in
Btinct.

How Young Men Should Drink.
If yonng men will drink liquurs,
we insist they should do itgracefully.
A great many accomplished bar
tendeis and polte bystander* have
their risibles excited to a degree
dangerous to a proper saloon decorum
by the awkward manner in which
upstart green’uns lake their grog, to
say nothing of the danger trom stran
gulation incident to starting a horn
of brandy down the wrong way. The
following is the proper way to do
the business. It may come a little
awkward at first, but piactice will
make it easy, and the habit of doing
the thing gracefully and easy will
save you from many oftbeevils which
crasy temperance people me a'ways
chaiging as sure to follow drinking;
Stand cd straight like a man,
your left side to the bar, lake the
glass neatly and firmly between
the thumb ami forefingers of the
right hand, letting the little finger
drop down to mar the bottom of
the glass, swing the glass in a plane
exactly corresponding with the top
of the bar, until it is precisely before
you. Just then throw the head back
a little, push the chin forward, so as
to leave the throat in a full open,
easy position. Compress the lips
tightly, draw a full breath through
the nostrils, and with a graceful
curve raise the glass until the rim
is within about three inches of your
chin. Now is the supreme moment.
Ju-t here turn your eyes upward,
think of your mother, and open your
hand instead of your mouth! If any
one laughs it will be an insult which
you should resent by not going mere
again.
