is immense, and eorresjiondiiigly great the re

integrity, sound judgment and financial ability'
in these agents of the people. All of these quall

In their ranks are to be found some of the
brightest and most successful business men tha r

summoned from the counting room to
protect and promote the l**st interests
of the city in the halls of legislation. Our
country friends therefore may rest assured

highest possible cash returns.

EDUCATIONAL.
WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE.
Our readers are presented to day with a cor
rect representation of the elegant edifice remod
eled and constructed anew, by the munificent
donations of George I. Setiey. for the students
and officers of Wesleyan Female College. It is
unquestionably the most magnittceht and
unique public building in the State.
The original structure*, though not entirely re
moved, has lieeu so altered, improved and en
larged ns to transform t; into a modern edifice
of colossal pronnrti .iis. plalined after the most
improved and enuste architectural designs. It
measures 246 feet in length, with a depth of 85
feet, and is five stories high, surmounted by a
mansard roof covered with slate. In the cen
tre a lofty tower lifts its he.ql far above the city,
crowned by an electric light of dazzling bril
liancy.
<>n three .Mdes an upper aud lower colonnade
has been er*ctod, which adds vastly to the
beauty and comfort of the structure.
Spacious arcades, broad passages throughout
the building. easy stairways and transoms over
the door of every apartment, afford perfect
ventilation and ready access to all parts of the
building. The sleeping chambers are nicely
carpeted and furnished, each having a con
venient closet and dressing room for the com
fort and privacy of the inmates. The addenda
of water closets and bath rooms are also sup
plied on every floor.
The basement, which is entirely above ground,
contains the President's recitation room, the
large study apartment for boarding pupils and
music rooms.
On the first door are located the elegant par
lors, library, museum and professors' apart
ments. The second and third doors contain the
sleeping chambers of the pupils and teachers.
The fourth floor is devoted to the two society
halls, the Calisthenic IJnll. Art hall and trunk
room. The whole building is thoroughly heated
by steam generated from furnaces located out
side.
The precautions against fire are w r ell nigh
perfect. From the numerous fire plugs, with
nose attached on the several floors, the w hole
building can be flooded with water in a very few
minutes. The use of steam, too, for heating
purposes, and gas for light, greatly reduces the
chances of a conflagration.
In short, there is nothing left undone for the
protection of the premises that skill or ingenuity
could devise, and they an* emphatically a model
of elegance and convenience from cellar to tur
ret Wesleyan Female College enjoys the proud
distinction of first inaugurating a collegiate
course of instruction for the w omen of the world.
For the first time in 1840 the unique spectacle
was presented of six young ladies receiving
their regular diplomas as graduates of the insti
tution under its charter.
Since then old Wesleyan has sent forth more
than a thousand of her daughters to illustrate
and gladden the homes of every Southern State.
Tin* names of all the presidents are as follows:
Bi*hnp George F. Pierce, Dr. William H. Ellison,
Rev. E. H. Myers, P. D., Rev. (.). L. Smith, D. D.,
Rev. John M. Bonnel, D. D., and the present
distinguished incumbent. Rev. W. C. Bass,
I). I). The limits of our article will
not admit of any historical sketch of this
noble literary foundation whose fame has
been bruited throughout all Christendom.
We can <mlv confidently affirm that it is the
peer of any hi the Union. With a thorough aud
exhaustive eurricqjum of study, the best in
structors in all the departments of science, un
surpassed salubrity of location, and the centre
ot a refined and religious community, nothing
is wanting to the mental, moral and physical
training of the daughters of the commonwealth.
The attendance of students is much larger thau
ever before and is constantly increasing. In
deed, a bright and glorious future awaits this
cherished fane of science, which sheds its mild
lustre afar to the remotest corners of the land.
The fiftieth annual session w ill begin on Wednes
day, Oct. 5, 1887. For particulars address Presi
dent W. C. Bass. P. P., or the Secretary, C. W.
Smith, P. P., Macon, Ga.
SHORTER COLLEGE, ROME, GA.
This noble institution for ten years has been
in successful operation, and is conceded to be
one of the best female seminaries of learning in
the Union. It's almost mountain location not
only assures perfect salubrit}' and health, but
the scenery on all sides is not inferior to that, of
those far-famed streams, the historical Hudson
and Rhine. The horizon is bounded by lofty
bills, rising “alp upon alp,” shaded and tinted
by the softest colors, resembling those of the
kaleidescope, as they appear alternately in sun
shine ami cloud, indeed, the view is unsur
passed anywhere. Pr. L. R. Gwaltney, the
President, has gathered around him a corns of
experienced and first-class educators, and the
musical department, especially, under the di
rection of Prof. Aloys Bidez, LL. P., affords the
very best advantages to the pupil. The profes
sor, a charter member and Vice President of the
“American College of Musicians," is a gentle
man of the highest character, and deservedly
popular. The people of Florida and South Geor
gia would do well to send their daughters to this
institution, where they will not only receive the
best ment il training, but have their constitu
tions and physical energies greatly strengthen
ed and improved: See advertisement
ROME. FEMALE COLLEGE.
This excellent institution, which has been in
operation for more than thirty years, under its
efficient founder, Rev. J. M. M. Caldwell, still
comes to the fore with all of its past prestige
and usefulness.
A k ecial feature of the college is the educa
tion of the daughters of indigent ministers. Two
hundred dollar- paid quarterly or semi-annually
in advance, will defray the expenses for one
scholast c year of a minister's daughter Donors
may select the pupil they desire to assist . All
contributions for tnafc purpose, however small,
will tie consolidated and judiciously applied.

O F*ALL KIND?
I have the latest improved machinery to make my Mills perfect. In both workmanship and finish, I can
recommend them to the farmers of the South as one of the best and heaviest Mills offered on the market. They
are made of the best charcoal pig iron, having heavy wrought iron shafts, and all parts turned true, leaving no
possible chance for breakage, which would cause expense and delay to the consumer. They have no superior in
this or any other market, as is proved by their great success. If these Mills are not what I represent them to be
I will take them back, refund the money and pay all expenses. A Mill sent on thirty daj’s trial to any responsible
party. Send me a trial order, and be convinced that my Mills are one of the best offered on the market.
My Fans are all made from new and improved patterns, cast with bottom down, and the metal so proportioned
that there is no chance for breakage, a fault which has heretofore been a groat source of trouble and eiponsc to
the purchaser. The name of "John Rourke, Novelty Iron Works,” is stamped on each Pan.
