Southern Masonic Female College. —We ask the attention of our readers to the advertisement of this admirable Institution of learning which ap pears in this issue. Kev. J. N. Bradshaw, its aide and efficient Pres ident was in our town a few days since in the in terest of the college and endeavoring to raise by subscription, an endowment, that cannot prove burdensome to any one, and which will yield to the children of Georgia the rich blessings of Ed ucation, on better terms than can be afforded else where. Cff* Xho advertisement of Mossrs. Graham & Butler Cotton Factors and Commission Merchants, Augusta, Ga will be found in another column.— This enterprising firm has attained quite a popu larity with the people for honesty and business ca pacity and certainly merits a liberal patronage. Penmanship.— Mr. D. F. Walker, professor of Penmanship has just closed his last writing school in Thomson, after successfully teaching two classes in the place. As to the efficiency of the Prof, no eulogy from us is necessary, as he has long been teaching in this and other States—giving universal satisfaction wherever he has gone. His mode of teaching explodes the old fogy idea, that writing is st natural gift aud not an art, as no matter how poor a scribe may be that follows his instruction he is alway sure to make him a fine pensman. If you want to be a good scribe there is no ne cessity of going to a Commercial College at a great cost, but pay a nominal sum and go to Prof Walk er. We take great pleasure in commending Mr. Walker to the public, as a successful teacher and a courteous gentleman. A Whole Team. —The eloquent divine and bril liant lecturer, Dr. W. Watkin Hicks, who recently thrilled the Southern heart with his lectures of Gen. K. E. Lee, has taken editorial control of the Daily and Weekly Macon Enterprse.

Smith, the late editor, has now control of the news and local departments. The paper is fast winning its way into public fa vor, and stands to-day among the first papers of the State. Subscribe for it. Address Lines, Wing A Smith, Macon, Ga. Beautiful Banner. —Miss Mamie Hamilton, of Hamilton Manor, has purchased a beautiful and costly banner—which she intends presenting to the McDuffie Hussars of this county. The banner we learn, will be presented by Paul C. Hudson Esq, and received by Mr. B. M. Evans, color Bearer of the company. The time of presentation is not yet definitely fix ed, as Miss Mamie is at present on a visit to Atlan ta, but judge it will take place as soon as she re turns. We know the company will appreciate this generous offering, coming as it will from one of McDuffies fair daughters, and predict that Paul and Dock will do their level best on the occasion, showing to the donor and people “what they know about speaking.” Personal.—The gloom of our sanctum was lighted up by the genial countenance of onr good friend, Hon. J. D. Mathews, of Lexington, Ogle thorpe county, a few days ago. Years have passed since we had the pleasure of seeing the colonel; changes—sad changes—have come upon us, and the “Triple Barred Banner of the Lost Cause,” which he suffered so much in up holding, has been folded together and laid away— is among the things that were. Nor has Time for gotten our friend, himself; for though it has dealt gently with him, the trace of its “effacing fingers” is there. May his shadow never grow less. In another column, our readers will find the an nouncement of the Colonel’s appointment to ad dress onr citizens on Friday next, on the great po litical topics of the day. Let all come out and hear him. I?" The beautiful oil Chromo, “The Two Pets,” which is given subscribers to that standard maga zine, American Homes, for $1.25, by Chas. Taylor <fc Cos., of Boston, Mass., deserves the wide popu larity it has gained. The Chromo is delivered im mediately by agents before any money is paid, or mailed at once when a subscription is sent to the publishers, and in these days of trickery, this hon est and fair way of doing business i« appreciated by the people. It also enables the publishers to keep their promises good, and works most benefi cially. The August number of American Homes is fall of bright sparkling stories, poems, fun, etc., is beautifully illustrated, and has a novel feature in its well filled advertising coUnmns, which con sists of alternate columns of humorous reading and advertisements. This is not only a good thing for advertisers, but the subscribers get three more pa ges of reading matter. All in all, American Homes deserves the success it has achieved. DIED. Mrs. Johu B. Lamb rt, at her home near Deal ing, on Monday last, aftet a severe but short illness Maiy V. McCord, wife of George T. McCord, and daughter of E. C. and Drucilla M. Hardaway, died at her home near Wrightsboro', Ga., Angust 7th, 1872, after a brief illness of 12 hours, in the 23d year of her age. Scarcely had the pen dried from writing the obit uary of the mother, before the news came that Death had also stricken the daughter; and now, while we write, their bodies slumber side-by-side until the Resurrection Mom. Mary was just in the bloom of her young womanhood; a fond, loving wife, and the tender, devoted mother of three little ones. Her sudden, premature death has made a dis tressing void in the family circle; but it is God’s wise, unerring hand that has dealt the blow, and though His ways are mysterious, yet we know love controls them all, and we desire to bow in meek submissiod to His will. In her girlhood, Mary was one of the loved pu pils of the writer, a studious, amiable, gentle girl. At the early age of seventeen, she married; and from that period, full of bright earthly hope, and engrossed with the cares and pleasures of domestic life, there seemed but little leisure and inclination for serious thoughts of another world, but she was the subject of many prayers, and it is to be hoped they wero not offered in vain. The writer had some serious conversation with her the night pre ceding her mother’s death, during which Bhe was very sad, and appeared very deeply impressed with the importance of being prepared to die. For the last two or three months, she was a frequent read er of the Bible, appeared unusually serious, and often talked to her husband on the subject of reli gion, expressing a determination as soon as she was able to unite with the people of God. Mary’s illness was brief, and so quickly did the destroyer steal upon her faculties, that she had no time to talk. The raorningsuu found her a bloom ing flower; at even-tide, it was cut down and with ered. In the short interval between her mother’s departure and her own, we trust,her soul had been reconciled to God, and washed in Jesus’ precious blood, had been made meet to join that sainted mother in singing the Song of Redeeming Love. May God sanctify to loved ones left, the husband, father, brother and two sisters, this doublo afflic tion, and teach them the necessity of preparing while in health to meet that hour which shall so certainly como upon them all. “Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the Northwind’s breath, And stars to set—but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O, Death!” Aunt Edith.
