PARLEY, DUCK & CO,
On the same evening the Middle Georgia Medical
Society held a meeting in the Court-home, but with
out transacting any important business, adjourned
on account of the progress of the Commencement Ex
ercises. Dr. D. B. Searcy, of Monroe county, is the
President, and Dr. R. P. Wright, a young physician of
eminence in his profession, of Forsyth, Secretary of
the Society.
This Society is composed of physicians from the
counties of Bibb, Butts, Monroe, Pike, I’pson, Craw
ford- The average membership is about fifty.
We left impressed with the conviction that in ail
essential respects Forsyth is one of the finest in Geor
gia. The fall session of the Feiu-le College begins on
the 18th of August next.
It was our pleasure to spend four days in the city
of Forsyth during the commencement exercises of
the Monroe Female Colli ge the present week, and we
cannot—would not—refrain from making tome state
ments of a general nature aa to the result of our ob-
s'.rvations while there.
Arriving at Forsyth on Sunday evening, we discov
ered that the “commencement” was the theme and
topic upon which all talked fluently, exhibiting an
enthusiasm on the subject of education quite unusual.
This produced an anxiety on our part to ascertain
whether the citizens generally were intelligent and
refined, or whether the interest manifested was
occasioned by a sudden awakeniDg of the miod on the
importance of educating the youth of the country.
Finding that the first was correct, that the people sp.

Id our previous notices of the commencement exer
cises of this instruuon, we confined our reports en
tirely to the second aud last week, and have hitherto
failed to speak of the examination of the classes of last
wok, which came iff on Monday and Thursday
mornings.
The preparatoiy department of the rckool is under
the immediate supervision of Mrs. Sue Lanier, who
gave the beat exhibition of thorough proficiency
among little children that has ever been the fortune of
that college to show since ita establishment. A large
portion of the success to which the college has attain
ed is due to the utt.ring industry and *kill of Miss
Mary Oalin, who is assistant to Professor Mooty in the
literary and classic departments, and who is a young
lady of a most practical and vigorous intellect, tnd has
bec-n connected with the- institution for the better
part of two years. Mias Oalin’* musical accomplish
ments are extraordinary, as ail will testify who at
tended the exercises.
The Classic and Literary Departments arc under the
i in mediate direction of President Mooty, cf whom too
mnch cannot be raid. With an experience of nearly
twenty years of successful teaching, be has proven
himself worthy the confidence reposed in him by his
numerous patrons in that section. He is an accom
plished and refined gentleman. ; nd one of the bea*
diacipUnaiians m the South. He ia the right man in
the right place. He educates the lit art as Will as the
mind, and parents would do well to place their chil
dren under his care.
The examination of the Junior Ciaas showed thor
ough proficiency, especially in Li.tiu, Algebra and
Geometry. The examination of the Seniors was high
ly satisfactory. They evinced a knowledge of Geom
etry, Trigonometry. Geology and intellectual Philoso
phy that would have been a credit to the graduates of
auy school.
AltfgetLer West Point may ft el proud of her col

At the close of the *cliool t xerelser, the Undents
presented Colonel Mark Johuaton, their model teacher,
with a flue gold headed can'', which was handsomely
tendered, iu a neat ilttle speech, ly Master Robin
Adair, as follow*:
Colonel Johnston:-Allow me, in behalf of the b.>ya
of West Eud Academy, to present you this cane, as a

you will use this cane for many years oi ly as an orna
ment, and not for want of physical strength; and we

Coloucl Johnston then thanked the school for their
kiudne.s, in a very touching, impressive and fatherly
ad Ires*, when the school and audience were dis

This school is a splendid one, sod w< 11 deserves the

LOCATION.
“ The Institution Is situated in Middle Georgia, on
the railroad line connecting Macon with Atlanta. Ge
ographically near the centre of tbe State, it is on an
elevated ridge between the Ocmulgce and Fliut rivers,
25 miles above Macon, and 210 feet higher in altitude.
With a genial and proverbially healthy climate, with a
population of nearly 2,000 inhabitants, noted for in
telligence and refinement, separated from the din and
excitements of cities, at the same time reliev* d from
social dearth incident to country and village life, For
syth enjoys advantages well worth the consideration
of parents and guardians. Its healthfulness, ita ac
cessibility, its size, its natural, intellectual and moral
advantages, all combine to render it, as a seat of learn
ing, desirable and important.”
BUILDINO AFP GROUNDS.
“The College edifice is one cf the largest, most
commodious and best ventilated school buildings iu
the State. The site is about 250 yards from the depot,
commanding au agreeable prospect in every direction.
The situation is retired, and at the same time accessi
ble. The campus, enclosing over seven acres, affords
ample ground for exercise, and tbe college dome
serves a fine purpose for astronomical observation.
The building contains besides music rooms, various
recitation rooms and chambers, an elegant chapel
which has been lately refittrd and supplied with new
and improved furniture.”
The course of study, apart from the Academic De-
partir ent, embraces a period of four years.

is a male institution, situated iu the midst of a beauti
ful grove, on an eminence in the suburbs of tbe city.
The building is of brick, neat and spacious, and tbe
grounds fine. It is under the government of tbe
Metboditt denomination, by whose liberality princi
pally it was established. Tbe average attendance of
boys and yonng men is seventy-five. Rev. T. G.
Scott is the Principal, and R. G. Anderson Assistant.
The Female College was inaugurated under tho aus
pices of the Baptist denomination, but, under a recent
arrangement, tbe control over it has been lodged with
a board of trustees, composed both of members of
different churches and non-professors. Neither
one of the Colleges have, however,
been subjected at any time to the
inconvenience of sectarian regulations. Of her edu
cational institutions and facilities, Forsyth may well
be proud.
CHURCHES.
There are three churches in Forsyth, Methodist,
Baptist and Preebytcrian. The Methodist is a new,
neat aud spacious building, while tbe Presbyterian is
also a very respectable building. The Baptists are
now preparing to erect anew place of worship, and,
we understand, have secured subscriptions in an
amount almost sufficient to complete the work. The
membership of each church is large, while almost
everybody in Forsyth, whether members or not, at
tend religious service. The Masonic Lodge, a large
brick building is in a somewhat dilapidated condition
at this time, one of tbe walls having fell in. This,
Lowever, can soon be remoddled. The lodge here Is
very strong. The courthouse is located in the center
of the square, a very eligble situation, good building
and very convenient to those disciples of Coke, Little
ton and Blackstone, consisting of Col. A. D. Ham
inond, Messrs. Stone, Cabaniss, Amo?, Turner and
others, whose mission it is to assist courts and juries
in the administrate n of law and justice—one or both
—between man and mao.
Forsyth enjoys a trade from a large section of
coun tsy, aud the dealers generally drive
heavy trade. There are two banking houses—
that of Messrs. Lampkin L Bean and Pye
and sou. Besides, there is also a purchase and loan
association transacting business. Tbe late fire de
stroyed a number of buildings, but will in the end
prove a great benefit to (he city, for the reason that
they are being rapidly replaced with aubatantial brick
structures. In addition to tho Greer House, which ia
receiving a good patronage, Messrs, Pye k Son are
erecting another on the west aide of tbe square. There
are in the city a number of besntiful residences,
among them that of Captain Henry G, Bean and Wm.
'• lampkin. Colonels A. D. Hammond sod Oeo. W.

A. King. B. T. King, and W. D. Stone, Is far above
tbe ordinary standard of weekly papers both u to

Stone, a prominent young lawyer and gentleman of

assembled on Wednesday evening a number
of newsyaper r«presentativee. Including Mr.

alto of tbe Thomaston Herald, Dr. Blackburn of the
Bamesville Patriot, Fleming of the Early County

RECORDER’S COURT.
“I mewsed how many a rose doth fall,
And how many a violet pine on,
Haws cruel fate denied ’em all
Shirt boosems for to twine on.
And off the cheek «ho damask kuawed,
And as I mowsed I sot and chawed.
The above is supposed to have been the ruminations
of our reporter, as watching the caged birds of tbe
calab :ose as they entered and fluttered their festive
crinoline, he chewed the end of his pencil aud thought
of the multitude ot sin now abounding in the land,
and the man; soiled doves which every day come to
judgment and go away filled with despair and curses.
If cruel fate does deny them shirt bosoms to twine
on. Old Ten and Costs fills the vacency by croquet, in
which he furnishes all the tools. These were serious
and sad reflections, and were leading the reporter
along a gloomy corridor, when just at this juncture
Old Virginia Bitters took his seat and opened
and Jonsen, in pursuasive basso pro/undo, sung out
the first name.
Ed Pinckney, drnuk! Mr. Pinckney is a harness
maker by trade, but accidently got over the traces
little, to wet hi3 bronchitis with the extract of corn.
Whether our harness maker, like Col. Macbeth, of tbe
Scotch Fusileers, died with harness on bis back or not,
wc are not informed, but he was dead drunk when
found and made a note of. History gives no account
of E. P., except that he can led borne a quart tickler of
“eold pizen,” and got up a spree under his own roof-
tree. He did not quarrel and b;at bis wile,
Court suggested, but appeared to be much in love with
his spouse, and for his seeming pcnitcncy he * ot off
with a $10 fine. He goes out to thechsiu garg ft
long days.
Mr. S. A. Baker came in from the rural solitudes of
Fayette county, to investigate the troth of the rumors
about tbe presence of cholera in Atlauta, and became
I convivial over the corroberation of tbe news that it
was not here. He remained in the city over night, to
make his Fajette county gal jealous, and was perigrin-
ating the streets with a confident stride—
“The moon was up, the stars were bright,
And shone in the Heavens with their silvery light.
But a fairer moon, or a brighter star,
Than that shown in the heavens afar,”
struck dazzlingly upon tbe optica of Baker. It was a
gae-light. It was tbe first he had ever behc-ld. And
he held on to the post to retain the fixedness of his
gaze. The fixedness of his legs wae not so carefully
watched, however, and he descended upon the earth
as drunk as a decapitated chicken. The Court ex
tracted ten dollars from bis purse. He gees back to
Fayette at once.
There’s never a day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There’s never a life so happy
But has had its time of tears ;
Yet the sun shines out tbe brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
May be so; but Lizzie Steadbam can’t, at these pres
ents, see through the cloud of trouble which now en
velops her. She was brought up for knocking into
fragments the knee-cap of her sou’s mother-in-law.
Lizzie has a fond aud affectionate boy, who married not
only his gal, but the whole of her family, aud they all
put up with him. He gave his ma a pressing invita
tion to make his house her home as long as she lived,
and she was acting upon this invitation when the row
with his mother-in-law came on. Lizzie fays the cld
woman ordered her out of her own sou’s house, and
before she could gel ont tbe other feathered in on 1
and was giving her “Hail Co’.umby,” when she,
self-defense, bit several large beefsteaks out of her
arm. A \ cry old negro testified that she patched and
darned up tbe woimds as best she could, aud remark
ed: “I’ll tell you, Jedgc, it was a powerful l ad bit.’*
Tho long lecture which enBued resulted in a $30 fine,
and Lizzie was passed back for repairs.
Miss Jaue Gresham, proprietorsks of a redoubtable
fortress on the triangular seat c-f war in Brooklyn
neigborhood, was shocked beyond conception at tbe
intelligence that she was wanted to answer to the
charge of keeping a house of ill fame. She argued
that the character of her house had been established
by nearly four years of business, during which time
one half the population of tho city could have tested
its respectability. Jane’s defense, however, availed
nothing, and she was forced to take furnished apart
ments at the Bar y House for fifty days, or pay down
those many slugs.
“But wine will the best resolution destroy.
By degrees he forgot his wife’s w arning,
Though he said, with each glasi, 'B.l!, be careful, my
boy,
Aud—(hie) think of your bead in the morning.’ ”
Wm. Dryer got dryer, ail at once, than the clerk of
a lime kiln, aud was found ou the broad aud dusty-
way that leads to inebriation. William was indeed in
a state of physical and intellectual somnolence, aud
having passed that crisis when the things of time were
of interest to bis spiritual essence, he slept serenely
on the pave. He was transferred to active duty for
several days on the public streets.
Frances Reed and Sarah Stubbs, (Sc-ir Faced Sally)
were found together uuder peculiar circumstances,
and without the benefit of clergy. The officer bad ob
served them at the noon of night—when the moon
shown down, scudding before him down the various
avenues of Brooklyn, until Bead, who was first disap
peared within a side door, and the “lively Searfaced
Sarah” rocking under a steady breeze and steering for
the Fame port—
“And the tilting and llie rocking
Up and down the splendid stocking.
Gartered by a bluish ribbon,
That he chanced to see she wore,
Showed him—’twas a sight for weeping.
That a pair of calves were creeping
Out of place as she was sweeping,
Like a stately queen betore:
Calves that she hai lately purchased
From a fancy dry goods store;
Patent calves—aud not much more.”
OwiDg to some irregularity in the testimony, they
were discharged with a blessing.
Carrie Watson, Lula Johnson and Polly Archer, all
white, plead guilty to being inmates of a bod house,
and were fined each $50 and costs. And here the
Court look occasion to advance some very sensible
and practical ideas towards the amelioration of this
class of onr unfortunate fellow creatures. He is
bonnd, however, to enforce the law on this point, and
has no discretion. These psor unfortunates will have
to work out their fines because they have not the
means to pay them.
There's never a garden growing,
With roses in every plot;
There's never a heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border.
To find the forget-me-not.
District Conference at Ilogitiixville.
Hogansville, Ga., July 18. 1873.
To the Editors Daily Herald: Our District Con
ference convened last night, in tbe Presbyterian
