The Examination
Of the pupils of the Sandeisville High
School, held on Thursday and Friday of last
week, surpassed even the expectations of
those who had anticipated most. There was
but one regret, viz.* that more time had not
been given for the exercises, so that nothing
need be hurried. Four days would not have
been too long, neither would the interest
have abated or the entertainment grown dull
to visitors. The crowd in attendance was
large, and the greatest interest manifested by
all. Teachers and pupils were in fine spir
its, and everything passed most pleasantly.
Parents and friends were more than pleased
—they were delighted—with the proficiency
of study manifested by their children, and
every heart went out in thankfulness to the
noble teachers who have labored so zealously
for the good of those committed to their
charge. We have had good examinations
here before, but never anything like this.
Yea, more, the writer will say for himself,
from our school-boy days up to the present
time, we have been accustomed to vritness-
ing exercises of a similar character, from the
humble log cabin, embowered away in some
shady dell, to the grand commencement ex
ercises of our best Universities. Yet amid
them all, we have never seen the examination
in Sandersville on the 3d and 4th of July,
1873, surpassed in real merit. We say this
with a feeling of pride and thankfulness.
We are proud of the teachers, proud of our
children, and truly thankful that the Great
I Am has so blessed us with such pure-mind
ed, competent, conscientious men and wo
men to teach our children.- To attempt to
particularize, without devoting th:s whole
page to the subject would be more than folly
—’twould be unjust. Had only a few acted
well their part, ’twould be different. We
could then easily tell who they were without
infringing upon other subjects. But when
there were one hundred and thirty-four who
all did more than well, ’tis impossible. Com
mencing with the little fellows, scarce large
enough to be away from mother during school
hours, and ascending to those verging upon
manhood and womanhood, there was scarcely
deficiency. True, some did better than oth
ers; but it was good and better. Real solid
learning. No preparing of pupils to recite
certain lessons by rote, or to be examined up
on certain chapters, as is too frequently the
case. No pupil knew what question he or
she would be asked until the same was pro
pounded, and then the answers came readi-
!y-
But we cannot attempt to go into the min-
utia of the examination.. We hop* every
patron of the school was there to see and hear
for themselves.
From want of other time, the reading of
compositions by the girls and declamations
by the boys, together with music on the
piano and other instruments, by the pupils,
had to be at night And in these exercises
we saw the same proficiency as in other
branches of study. Prizes were offered to
the different classes for the best reading and
speaking. And here was the most difficult
part of all: to say who should have the prize,
so near equal were many of the contestants.
A gentleman remarked to us—and he has
had large experience and fine observation in
such matters—that he would not have been
on that committee for anything, for he could
not, after hearing all, decide who was most en
titled. So we say to those who failed to win,
be not discouraged, but try again, and keep
trying. Many of the compositions would
have done credit to older heads; many of the
boys would have put to shame some of our
pretended Statesmen. There was scarcely a
poor effort among either the boys or girls.
The music, too, was excellent.
Prof. Guttenbergeris the right man in the
right place. Without the aid of our excel
lent Brass Band, taught and led by him, the
sweet songs, duetts, choruses and superior
iustruemental music on the piano, violin,
etc.,—all by himself or pupils, the exhibition
on Thursday and Friday nights would have
lost their brightest charm. But to return to
the literary departments. Prizes were award
ed as follows: In reciting poetry, Eliza Mar
tin, Sunie Bostick. In Declamation, Jim
mie Kelley, Harper Gilmore, Marshall Bland,
George Young, Isadore Newman, Tommie
Whidden, Spurgeon Jackson, B. T. Rawlings.
In compositions; Anna Reinhart, Sallie Wil
liamson, Mattie May Pringle, Bell Evans,
Alice Laveigne & Maggie Medlock, Ella Skin
ner.
It was found on Friday noon, that it would
be impossible for the large audience present
and still assembling to be seated or anywise
comfortable even in the [spacious court-room
(wher£ the examination was being held) to
hear the Literary Ad Iress of Rev. Dr. Clark.
The exercises were therefore adjourned to
the Methodist church, at 3P. M. We had
purposed giving an out line of the able ad
dress by this distinguished Divine, but as it
has been asked for in publication we will
not mar the beauty thereof by an attempted
synopsis. Those who know Dr. Clark need
not be told it was a master effort, replete
with learning and a happy flight of elo
quence.
At the close of the address thirty-two hun
dred dollars was subscribed towards erecting
a school building commensurate with the
wants ol of the school. Andjusthere let us
say to those who were not present, do not
fail to_put up that subscription and subscribe
the last^dollar you are able to pay. We ex
pect to have a school numbering two hun
dred and fifty pupils next year, and they
must have a place to study. No more rented
school houses after this year.
Well we have given all the space we can
spare to this subject, and must bid these
pleasant occasions adieu. But before doing
so, must return thanks in behalf of the com
munity to Mfessrs, Ivy W. Duggan, W. H.
Lawson, Mrs. Duggan and Miss Julia War-
then, of the literary deparments, and Prof.
Guttenberger, of the music department, for
what they have done for us and our children.
And now, wishing all a happy vacation,
hoping that the Fall Term may open on the
18th of August with still brighter prospects,
than the last, we close this imperfect sketch.
Give us (he “Dots.”
We desire "most earnestly to receive from
readers and friends, items of interest to the
public of every character suitable to appear
in print. Crop statements, health reports,
neighborhood news (of interest,) marriages,
deaths, etc., etc. We want short and inter
esting articles from every section of country
where the Hfru-.u circulates as often as pos
sible. Especially do we desire this from
counties that have adopted the Herald as
their official organ. Our space will not ad
mit of very lengthy articles. Hence friends
will observe the necessity of saying th# most
in the fewest words. Do not be offended if
we condense or even reject your article. We
mean no disrespect to the writer in so doing.
But we study to please more than two thou
sand people every week, and this is no easy
task. To fill up the columns of a newspaper
is easily done, but to make it a real live, in
structive, reliable medium of news, spiced
with a good share of wholesome family read
ing, is a very different thing. Help us a lit
tle, wont you friends?
We are indeed thankful to those who have
thus favored us, and hope they will not be
come weary in well doing. And, ladies, while
your husbands are writing about the crops,
etc., can’t you slip in something nice for the
family or children’s departments? Try.
Notes of Travel,
Editors Herald: On Thursday the26th ult,
I started to Dublin to attend a Sunday School
convention. I soon reached the house of our
genial friend M J. P. and dined with him.
Mr. P. showed me some as nice domestic
Matrimonial.
Editors Herald: One of the most brilliant
entertainments of the kind, it has been our
good fortune to be in attendance on for some
time, transpired in the marriage reception
of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Carlton, two miles
east of this place, at the residence of Mr.
Richard Carlton, on Thursday evening last.
The party was select, and numbered about
75 or 100. The couple, Mr. David R. Carl
ton and Miss Annie Winn, having been
united by the Rev. Mr. Yarborough, of the
North Georgia Conference, at 9 in the morn
ing at the residence of the bride’s father,
two miles east of Eatonton. After partaking
of some little refreshments, ice cream, cake,
&c., set out at once on their journey, in car
riages, accompanied by some fifteen or twen
ty of their friends and witnesses to the sol
emn rites, for the residence of Mr. Carlton,
as above; the distance being twenty-eight or
thirty miles. They arrived about 6 P. M.
The guests soon arrived also, and the feast
was entered upon with unusual merriment.
The groom looked pleasing, but the bride
most lovely.
The supper was one worthy of the occa
sion and would have satiated the appetite, of
the most transcendent Epicurean.
A Brass Band from Greensboro was in at
tendance, and discoursed, ever and anon,
strains of music soft and sweet.
May the lives of this new couple be ever
as happy as this their first bridal evening.

Editors Herald: In accordance with your
request, I refer to problem heretofore pro
posed forisolutdon, through the columns of
your paper. My attention had been pre
viously called to the quasi controversy re
sultant therefrom, and it is with pleasure
that I offer a solution. Without the aid of
a diagram, and without employing technical
terms, I shall find it dfficult to be brief.
I use the term quasi in reference to this con
troversy, for the reason, that while the math
ematical principles which have been illus
trated, by all who have entered into this
controversy may be said generally to be
correct, it has been in the application of
those principles alone that the controver
sialists have differed; and this, from the fact,
that the various analyses made have not
been considered relatively, nor extended to
that point which is essential to the com
plete elucidation dK the "problem.
Assuming that the side of an acre square
be 208 feet, and rejecting the decimal, and
for the sake of lucidity in the explanation,
terming two of the opposite sides the bases,
and the other two the sides, if the rows be
laid off at right angle* with each other, four
feet apart there would be 52 rows, each row
containing 52 hills, making the number of
hills in an acre 8704 The rows would be
at all points four feet distant from the ad
joining ones, as would each hill from the
adjoining hills. The perimeter of the square
would be 16 feet and the area 16 sq feet.
But instead of laying off rows at right an
gles, having laid off rows from base to base

From there I went to Mr. E. F.*Blackshear’s,
and stayed all night with him. Here I learn
ed that I was mistaken as to the day of the
convention, and found that I was a flay before
the feast. I stayed over with Mr. B. until
Saturday morning and I enjoyed my stay
here very much. While here I saw a fine
example of domestic economy. I saw some
very excellent flour made from wheat of Mr.
B’s own raising, and ground at Dr. Chappell’s
mills. The young ladies, Mr.' B’s daughters
made some of as fine bisouit, light-bread,
and pastry as any man need want to eat
These young ladiet are intelligent, modest
and refined and entertaining, and at the same
time they are very domestic, and can cook as
good as need be; an excellent example for
those fancy girls who think it a disgrace to
know how to cook and attend to household
affairs. Mr. B. showed to me his orchard
where lie has some very excellent peaches
and apples, his garden is also very fine.
On Saturday I went to Dublin and witness
ed the Sunday School convention.
Y’ou will perhaps hear something more in
relation to the convention soon.
Died on the 24th June, at the plantation of
Maj. Harris Brantley, Washington county,
Ga., Iewin Johnson, after a severe illness of
about six weeks, which he bore with the great
est degree of patience and resignation. He

‘diagonal rows will be four feet from the ad
jacent diagonals wherever a perpendicular
line would intersect both. There will be the
same number of hills. On the perpendicu
lar rows, the hills would be four feet apart—
on the diagonal rows 5.65 feet apart. It is
this space which may be utilized;—it is the
use of this space which explains a seeming
paradox. In the rhombus thus formed, the L
perimeter would be 19.3 feet, and the area
22.6 feet. This apparent gain results from
this fact; the diagonals approach with 2.87
feet of the hills. But having laid off diago
nal rows, we will now cross these with rows
so laid off, as to cut them at points four feet
apart. The figure (diamond shaped) thus
formed will have a perimeter oi 13 feet, and
an area of 13 S sq. feet, and there will be to
the acre 187 more hills. C. Essay.

better from Bulloch.
Statesboro, Ga., July 3rd 1873.
Editors Herald: Thinking that a few items
concerning crops might be read with inter
est, by some of your readers, and since no
one, as yet, has written from Bulloch, I have
concluded that I would, in a kind of an off
handed manner, say a little concerning the
crops in the vicinity in which I live, a por
tion of the county I know nothing about the
crops, only from hearsay. The most of the
farmers in this section of the [county cut
ranging timber, which is generally cut and
hauled to water in the fall and early winter,
which is to be carried off on the first big
water; owing to the very dry winter this
big water didn’t come until late in the spring
and the very time that farmers should have
been busy with their farms, everything that
could be raked and scraped, that was able,
was on the creeks running timber, which,
as a natural consequence, gave the grass the
start and it has been “who shall and who
shall” with the farmers and the grass ever
since, or until a few days back, the rains
having ceased, which has given the farmers
an opportunity to kill some of the gross at
least; but a little while back, if two farmers
met any where, the next thing to “howdy
do and how’s all” was sure to be how ore you
and the grass making it, the grass then was
the subject of conversation until they sepa
rated. Notwithstanding so much grass, crops
are looking, as a general thing, very well.
The most of the corn crops have been laid
by tolerably clean of grass, and ootton is
now being cleaned and is beginning to look
better than it did a week or so ago. Owing
to the dry weather in April, this crop is a
little late, the most of it never came up un
til after the mins in May, and when it did
come up, it and the grass all came together,
if anything the grass was a little ahead, which
has kept the cotton under hack until now.
I think if we are blessed with seasons a lit
tle while longer, there will be a good deal
of corn, and cotton, too, made in this section
of country, but rain at this time is very
much needed; I notice that com that has
been manured is beginnjpg to fire.
The health of the county is very good,
haven’t heard of but a few cases of fever yet,
hut am afraid it will commence soon.
For the present, I will close.
Yours Respectfully,
Cato.
letter from Jefferson.
Hudsoxia, Ga., July 4th 1873.
Editors Herald: As you requested me to
give you a line once in a while, should any
thing interesting take place in our “Glas
cock touched community.” I will try to
give you a short description of the examina
tion of E^ev. M. P. Cain’s School which, to
the pleasure and amusement of all, came off
with grand success at this, place yesterday
and last night. The examination commenced
at an early hour in the morning, and lasted
until near two o’clock. The students ac
quitted themselves quite creditably, reflect
ing much honor upon the school and the
indefatigable efforts of their worthy precep
tor. Their prompt answers to all questions
and black-board exercises, proved, to the
satisfaction of all present, that they had betti
carefully, correctly, and thoroughly taught.
We can but regret that more of our friends
from a disiaiwe vrpre not permitted to wit
ness these exerefees, feeling assured, they
would have been satisfied that ours was »-
good school.
At seven o’clock the audience began to as
semble at the residence of the teacher to wit
ness the closing exercises, which was inter
spersed with splendid music. Reading and
declamation closed by the “Valedictory,” the
teacher announced, “that we would have a
little nonsense.” Then came the Charades.
First we had “It never Rains butjit Pours/’
In this there were six characters all of whom
acted their parts splendidly. Then followed
“Phantom” in which there were five actors.
We imagine that none present will soon for
get this performance, and more especially the
appearance, singing; and acting of “Julius.”
Repeated bursts of laughter proved that the
large audience were emphatically diverted
and gratified. Then we had the rousing,
closing, charade, “Woman’s Rights.” It is
only necessary to say of this scene, that so
highly was it appreciated that the audience
asked that it be repeated. Even then the
curtains were drawn amidst cries of “hold
on,” “wait,” “too soon,” etc. Thus closed
the entertainment of the evening. Many of
our friends pronounced it a perfect success—
and now Messrs Editors, permit me to say in
conclusion that parents and guardians hav
ing children or wards to send to school, could
not do better, in our humble judgment, than
to put them under the tutelage of Rev. M. P.
Cain and lady. Yours truly,
Tom.

Died, in Washington county on the 6th of
April, 1873, John L. Orb, aged about thirty-
years. For many months previous to his
death deceased had been a great sufferer,
the approach of death being slow but unmis
takably sure. His disease was doubtless con
tracted while serving gallantly as a soldier of
the Lost Cause. As a husband and father
none could be more kind, more devoted,
more affectionate. k A beloved wife and two
little children veepVer his early grave. As
a neighbor John was ever ready to adminis
ter to the wants of those in need or to serve
a friend. His loss in the neighborhood where
he resided will be long and seriously felt.—
His place is vacant, his nich in society unoc
cupied. But we trust he has passed to that
better state prepared for the true and the
good, in the land of eternal rest
A Friend.
Died at her residence in Hancock county,
Ga , on the 22d June, Mrs. Mabgabet Hood,
aged 52 years. While young she espoused
the cause of Jesus, united herself with the
Baptist church, and died a consistent mem
ber of Darien churoh, Hancock county. She
has left a large family to mourn her loss; we
month, for her smiles are not seen, her pleas
ant voice is not heard. She left us abun
dant evidence to believe that our loss is her
gain. She had nothing to dread in death.
She had from early age, made it her concern
to walk with God; and her life bore constant
testimony to the truth of her profession.
Wherefore should we weep? will it bring her
back again ? We can go to her, but she can
not return to us.
One who loved hex.
