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.

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. Address, S. (\ Caldwell. Rome, Ga. INSURANCE. SOUTHERN INSURANCE Company ATHENS, GA.

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.
