Commencement exercises of ‘‘Young

Just opened at I. Levy’s, anew line

McGuire is doing the painting.
During the past two weeks wc have
had a continuous succession of show
ers, making it quite problematical as
to whether the grass or cotton would
get the mastery. The planters arc mak
ing a gallant fight in Thomas, and wc
hope will get and keep the ascendency
The hands ail over the county appre
ciate the delicate status of affairs, and
are working like beavers late and ear
ly to rescue the crop and wc have no
doubt but that they will.
Tuat ma Potato.—In our offiice
was grown by Major Stegall, and is of
the pink eye variety. It has evidently
matured, as the parent eye has given
birth to seven well developed potatoes,
two of which are much above the usu
al size, and aie joined together after
the fashion of the Siamese twins. If
all of the Major's potatoes turn out
this way ho will not have room for
them on the grounds where they are
* grown. _

/. IL Qurnius,
Wo had tho pleasure of a call this
week from his Hon. Judge Harris who
has been holding Court here this
week.- If be is os pleasing and affable
on tho bench as off, he must certainly
be very popular with tho Bar.
Wc are requested by the Post Mas
ter to give notice that the law requires
all postage to be paid on newspapers,
periodicals, &c., to be paid-quarterly
in advance. On weekly newspapers
the postage is five cents per quarter.
After the last day of this month no
mail matter will be delivered upon
which the postage has not been paid.
Post Office regulations arc strict and
we advise all to walk round and settle
if they expect to get their mails
promptly.
Interesting Lecture at the
Baitist CnuRcn.—Col. McGlashan,
the Superintendent of the Baptist
Sunday School, has inaugurated a
new feature in our Sunday Schools.
Every fourth Sunday, instead of the
lessons being recited the Superintend
ent, his assistant, or some one apoint-
ed, lectures on the lesson. To-mor
row will be the second lecture, by the
Ass’t Superintendent, Mr. Kendrick,
and wc hope that the occasion will
prove sufficiently interesting to insure
a large audience. The gentleman is
a fluent speaker and has a flue subject
and all who attend will no doubt be
edified.
Wc direct the attention of litigants
and others, by the request of Sheriff'
Luke, to the law governing advertise
ments. We publi.-h it so that all uiay
be posted, as follows;
lie it enacted by tbe General Assem
bly uf the State of Gx-ryia, That, from
and after the passage of this act. no
Sheriff, or deputy Micriffin this State,
shall be required to advertise the prop
erly of any defendenl in ft. fa. foi sale
until the cost of such advertisement
shall have been fir-t paid by the plain-
fa. his agent, or attorney:—
il, That when any such par
ty plaintiff, or his agent, or attorney
for him, shall make and file an all! la-
writing that, owing lo his pov
erty, he is unable to pay cost, then il
shall be the duty of said Sheriff, or his
deputy', to proceed as now required
by law.
Commencements and examinations
arc the order of the day. Many a lass
and laddie, have been looking to these
balmy June days, ior a release fora
while at least, from the daily routine
of scholastic life. The eyes of the lit
tle folks have fairly danced at the
approach of vacation. We hearti
ly wish our little friends a happy tunc;
and wc trust, that they will do noth
ing during the vacation, which their
teachers or parents would disapprove.
Remember this children, and you will
resume your studies, the happier and
better for having so acted.
Try it, and sec if we aro not right.
A Medical Wonder.—We were
shown last week, by Dr. John An
drews, a cancer which he had taken
from the face ol Mrs. Quartern an,
mother-in-law of our presiding elder.
Rev. J. M. Austin. lie had worked
on it just eight days before ho was
able to got it cntiiely loose. (It was
not done with a knife.) It lias been
her, or at least first made its ap
pearance, twenty-live years since, and
appeared and disappeared several
times until it became permanent.—
She 1ms had it treated by some of the
best physicians in the whole country,
but has never found anything to check
its rapid growth until now. The doc
tor has the veritable cancer itself, iu
alcohol at his office, and invites all
who still bclicvo that cancers cannot
he cured,to call and sec it. It has just
been ten days since he look it off, and
the soro is alrea Iv rapidly healing*
This is a modern wonder in the in<- li-
cnl world, that many physicians have
claimed to do, but never did it. This,
however, is not the doctors first one,
he has entirely cured several, years
since, and know*, they were penna-
ncnlly cured for they never returned.
This is certainly good news to many
who, like this lady, had given up all
hope, and resigned to fate, to die Tin-
slow hut certain <t--:ith, which cancers
are sure to produce. Everybody, es
pecially the iuer< dulous, should cali
and sec it, for seeing is believing.
Examination at Fletcher In
stitute.
Yesterday morning wc attunded the
examination over at Fletcher Insti
tute, and we regu t that il came off
the day bcfoic our publication day:
lor we were highly pleased with v. hat
we saw ;.nd heard, and would like to
report it, unrestrained by time or
space. Wc think all who were there,
aud the attendance was very good, of
both ladies and gentleman, will agree
with us in saying that the exercises
were exceedingly interesting and
entertaini ng ; and conducted bv
the able principal, in a man
ner which plainly evinced a thor
ough knowledge ol his business, and
u superior tact for imparling it to his
scholars for they, in every part and
and study, were rigidly examined bv
President Baker and others who knew
the hardest questions, but the boys
could not be stalled, evincing a train
ing and discipline creditable to their
worthy principal as well as for them
selves.
As we have said, the attendance was
very good aud ol tho best citizens.t we
feared the Court might keep some
away, but we were gird to see it oth
erwise, and hone the favorable opin
ion almost universally expressed by
those present, may encourage Prof.
Moody in his untiring efforts iu behalf
of this institution.
Tho examination was not through
when wc left at 1*2 o’clock, aii-1 we
were sorry lo leave, for we expect the
exercises in the afternoon were more
interesting, if posisblc than in the
forenoon, which was spent in examin
ing classes. We suppose the speak
ing «&c., took place iu the aftern >oiii
which wc regre: not being able to
hear, for judging irom what we saw
of the boys in the forenoon, we niissc 1
quite a treat. On the whole, by what
wc saw and heard we were very fa
vorably impressed, as to the qualifica
tions of Prof. Moody as a first da*g
teacher, able and worthy to teach in
schools of larger proportions. May
he continue to succeed and be rightly
appreciated by lb patrons,

On Thursday eveuing although it
threatened rain, Carriages and buggies
were in rapid motion in different parts
of the city, and those who weie favor-
ith cards of invitation were mak
ing their way toward the college build-
ing/m Dawson street, notwithstanding
the threatening aspect of the weather.
We should like to be able to transfer
something more enduring than pa
per, the happy scenes tlr.t marked
the evening ; tut we stagger at the
bare thought, of attempting to paint
i the slightest blush, of the bril
liant and dazzling throng that were
gathered there. The central figures
of course, were the young ladies who
gave the party, and in whose cars
were still ringing the plaudits, that
greeted their appearance on Tuesday
evening. We opir.e however that tlitir
were greeted with i-ouuds duriug
the evening, that sounded equally as
sweet. The Juniors fairly divided
the honors of the occasion and were
conspicuous for the ir beauty and mod
esty.
c were pleased to see a large num
ber of Floridians, w ho arc patrons of
the College mingling witji our people

Conspicuous among this bevy of
beauties, was a number of fair ones
from the land ol flowers : whose bright
ling smiles challeng u and soften-
ed the most obdurate. Our friend Mr.
—was perfectly carried away, and
xpcct soon, to hear of him having
business iu Florida. The refreshments
were everything that could have bccu
desired by the most fastidious. In
short the occasion was a perfect suc
cess, not a jar, nor a discord. With
us the recollect iou of our first atten
dant e upon a Commencement party
at‘‘Young Female College” will ever
bring up a flood of pleasing recollec
tions.
The Concert on Wednesday
Night.—Long before the time an
nounced for the coimncncemenrof the
exercises, 81-2 o’clock, the large hall
well filled by an audience, who
showed by their quiet listening de
meanor, that they were on the >/tu
vice, for the first notes of melody, that
was to open the Concert.
From the large number of perform
ers, wc find it impossible to particular
ize, even were wc a competent musical
critic’ aud had the space. The pro
gramme as it appears below was car
ried out. Mrs. Col. Young, who has
charge of tho musical department of
the College, superintending. Wc
were struck with tho lvtnarkable pro
ficiency’ exhibited by many of the
smaller girls, many of whom were
hardly high enough, lo see over the
key board.
We do not think the hall was erect
ed with much regard to the law of
acoustics; os it is a difficult thing to
hear in the middle, or hack part ol it.
This however, may he remedied, when
it is plastered and ceiled. The concert
closed with ‘‘Glowing Mars” hy Misses
Mitchell and Taylor; when tho hoys
proceeded to see their brightparticular
stars home; and no doubt under the
softening influence of iln: music, aud
the twinkling stars over head, said
some soft things in rout*.

Boston, G a.. June 18th, 1873
Messrs Editors : The Boston Bible
Society held a meeting in \he Prcsby-
teiian Church on Friday laatand ap
pointed a public meeting of the friends
of the liblc cause to be held on the 5th
Sunday of August, in this place.
The Council ol the Friends of Tem
perance and the citizens of Boston
were lectured to hy Major Gallaher of
Quitman on the night of June Oth, *ub-
jcbt,**Work and wait. After the ad
dress he was presented with a Gold-
headed cant
The Masonic Fraternity have a t’.our-
ishitig Lodge in this place.
The Boston Debating Society dis
cussed the “Cotton versus Provision,**
question on last Wednesday night,
aud according to the argument ad
vanced, was decided in favor ot raising
our provisions,
Owing to the heavy find frequent
rains, grass is King with some of our
planters, and some of them have
abandoned part of their cotton crop.
Heavy rains, caterpillars and grass,
make planters think of hard times, es
pecially those who have bought fertili
zers on time. I am sorry to say that
some are complaining of spoiled oats*
Expecting your Senior to do up the
pic-me,-I will only say that all I have
heard say anything about it, think it
the best one Boston or vicinity ever
witnessed.

(Communicated) .
Editors oe the Times : Last
week I suggested to you that it would
be a good idea, for some one compe
tent to prepare a pamphlet, giving in
as interesting form as possible, a histo
ry of Thomas county and Thomasville,
settiug forth the fertility of our soil,
the variety of our products, the genial
character of our climate, our market,
educational, and religious facilities ;
aud other matters important and in
teresting to strangers and immigrants
to know—and that this Pamphlet
should be distributed at the State Fair,
at our Fair the succeeding week, and
throughout the North, South, East
and West. You thought ihe sugges
tion a very practical one. and upon
my request, agreed to make mentioo of
your next issue, my idea being to
test public opinion with a view, if
the idea should be generally approved
to endeavor to get it up. I still iliiuk
a pamphlet of this character, would be
very valuable in disseminating useful
iutormation, and attracting public
attention which we mus«t do to gain in
crease of population, and capitol. I
hoped that the Enterprise, to which I
am a warm friend, and which is usually
so prompt in promoting every good,
work, would take up aud approve the
idea thus enabling us to secure it and
ret to sec its article on this sub.
ject in this week’s issue. The idea
uated with myself, not with the
Times ; and 1 trust the Enterprise
will retract its strictures, feeling as
sured that the Editor would not kuow-
ingly perpetrate a wrong.
Justice.
Superior Court.
This Court lias been iu session during
the week, Judge Harris presiding a
portion of the time, disposing of the
cases in which Judge llansell is in
competent. Charles Coleman, who
cole black, wae told to “move on”
to G rant A. & Co’s select force, for the
period ol 10 years, for an attempt to
commit a rape. Two gentlemen of
the colored way of taking tilings “fess-
ed” up to simple larceny, and they will
occupy that classic structure in rear
ol the Court house, for some time aud
guzzle hash, at tho expense of the tax
payers of the county.
A large amount of civil business was
disposed of, by settlements, corapiom-
and judgments, whilst a consider
able amount went over uutil the next
term.
f lho State, vs. Jesse for an
attempt to rob, Mr. Burch is being ar
gued, by learned councel «.n both sides
— w ith considerable doubt, as to the
result. Later. He was acquitcd.
The admirable address of that ster-
ng gentleman, W. A. Huff Esq, May-
* of the city of Macon appears on our
outside. Wc would call the attention
readers particularly lo this ad
dress ; it will amply repay the perusal.
Thomas has o-nteied the lists for that
$1000 premium, is she going to lay
supinely back and not only allow
this golden opportunity to slip through
her fingers, but worse still, she v
attempted something, making
signal failure, thereby lowering her
w high stamlaid. Let ihe planters
and property holders of Thomas pon-
I'ell these truths. Thi- county has
are opportunity, of w inning unfa
ding laurels, aud crowning herself
with victory, that will be as substantial
in its effects, as gratifying to our citi
zens at large.
Cannot some of our planters show
as good a live acre piece of cotton, as
any in the State ? certainly that $500
premium is a sufficient inc entive. Why
cannot Thomas send os good a bale of
cotton, as any other county, and get
that $100.* Who wants it? For the
largest yield of upland cotton, on one
acre, $200 is offered. Will none of our
planters try for this splendid premium?
The whole premium list, glitters, and
sparkles, with rich and «ostly premi-
u ms ; many of which may be carried
off by Thomas if the \ roper effort
is made. We feel every a- surancc, that
if the District commiitec- go to work,
and do their duty, that this County
will make such an exhibition, at the
approaching Fair, as shall reflect high
credit upon her planters, and be a just
cause cf pride to this section of the
State.
Let us go in to win. expunging fail
from our vocabulary, and the victory
will be ours.

This gentleman has been in our city
for the past few days being tho guest
of Col. Seward. On Monday evening
our excellent Cornet band discoursed
some very fine music in front of the
Cols, residence in compliment to his
distinguished gnest who after repeated
calls came out and made a few remarks
appropriate to the occasion. We were
struck by his allusion to the fact that
Thomasville needs but two things to
put her in the front rank of Southern
interior cities, L e. Rail Roads and
schools the first he said we already
have |As to the second, oaifcitizens are
deeply interested not only in the suc
cess of“Young Female College” whose
brilliant exercises fill so much of our
space this week but they are taking a
deep and we trust a lasting interest in
the no less important branch of ed
ucation in, our midst, Fletcher Insti

known hospitality of Col. Seward,
