Mr. E. B. Cook, showed ns this
week, a curiosity in the shape of
an egg, that was a very remarka
ble freak of nature. The egg
measured ten inches in length and
when broken was found to contain
another well developed fully shell
ed egg. The enterprising hen
that laid this remarkable egg,
did so at the expense of her life.
She had been engaged just a week
in producing this egg. and its final
appearance in the nest, probably
from its great size, made her think
no doubt, rhe had produced a
monstrosity, and so frightened
lie: that she died on the nest.—

Athens Banner: It is proposed

the question of whether they are
willing or not to issue bonds to
the amount of not exceeding $35,-

state aw inducement to locate the
aclioai of technology in this city.
We have not a shadow of a doubt
but that the bonds will be voted,
as Alderman White, chairman of
the finance committee, can show
that it will not be necessary to
increase taxation one mill to pay
the interest on them. It is im
portant that Athens secure this

Andrew College C
% swat.
The closing exercises of this
honored seat of learning were in
augurated on Thursday evening
last, hy the ap|>earancc before the
public of the Intermediates, in a
selection of choice recitations.
About twenty little boys and girls
look part in this exhibition, and
every one of them are deserving
of special *mention for the excel
lent manner in which they sus
tained their respective parts. On
Friday evening a similar enter
tainment was given by the Acs
demies, which reflected credit
upon them. The character of
these entertainments, together
with the excellent examinations
stood by the little ones during the
day was a (terfeet gnarantee that
they have been the recipients of
every attention during the year.
Here is where the most important
work conics in. Lay the founds
tion well, and it is an easy matter
to construct a fabric of intellec
tual grandeur, neglect this trust,
and however attractive the exte
rior, there is no admiration for
what is palpably a delusion and
mockery. This department has
been presided over by a lady wide
ly known and recognized as one
of the finest teachers ever in Cuth-
bert. She captivates the little
one, and winning at once its ad
miration, has no trouble in con
ducting it along the difficult paths
of child-lore with a rapid and
wondertul progress. The verdict
after seeing and bearing the cbil
dren is, that they were as near
perfect as it was possible for
4bem io be brought, with their
childish natures and indifference
to every thing except toys and
games. In (act it was astonish
ing how well they could be brought
to recite lengthy recitations with
an ease and simplicity that would
have been creditable to one of
much older years. They com
pletely captured the audience, and
were heartily applauded. If every
one of them are not the recipient*
of beautiful prizes at the hand*
of admiring parents, it is not be
cause they are not deserving of
such testimonials of their merit
OX Sl'XDAT MOUSING,
The Methodist clinrch was filled
with the citizens of Culhbert ami
surrounding country, to hear the
Commencement Sermon, delivered
by Rev. McK. F. McCook, of Fort
Valley. Mr. McCook chose a
beautiful theme, and handled it in
a masterly manner, proving a
life of devotion U> his chosen work.
Possessing a clear, distinct voice,
he was enabled to fill the large
auditorium without any seeming
effort upon his part, and culling
the brightest flowers with which
to clothe his thoughts, immediate
ly riveted the attention of his lis
teners. Every point was made
witli telling effect, and like the
precious gems in the jeweler's
cabinet, were viewed with un
a|)cakable admiration as he wove
them into a lustrous crown to lay
at the door of his hearers’ hearts.
He spoke with emphasis to the
young ladies of the College, ami
especially those of the graduating
class, telling them that while they
would soon lay down the routine
of College work, there was another
and still more important field
open before them, wiiere the
sweetest flowers were to be found,
provided they were properly cul
livalcd. The sermon is beyond
the power of rcpioduction, even in
minor detail, and the scribe will
forltcar to even attempt to give a
summary. Nothing but the high
est encomiums have been accorded
it, and Rev. Mr. McCook has en
grafted himself ti[>on the love of
our citizens in a lasting manner.
MON 1>AT MORNING,
At 91 o'clock, an interested au
dience in their happiest mood,
greeted the Junior Class, who
were to euterlain them with spark
ling essays, such as only a Junior
could write or a Junior read.
Eleven young ladies, charmingly
groujied upon the stage, looked
down upon the visitors, while
eleven hearts were keeping time
to tiic fluttering of eleven fans
held by eleven trembling hands.
After prayer, and music by the
College Brass Band, the first read
er announced was Miss Annie
Barfield. It was her province to
extend a -Welcome” to the large
assemblage present, and beanti-
fully bad she grouped her words
together in sentences of rythmical
flow, distinctly uttered in a clear
sweet voice. She read well aud
received hearty applause.
-Inlcmpeiancc” was shown of
in its true coloring by Miss Lou
Bush, in an essay, showing care
ful preparation, and was a remark
aide argument against this bane
to human happiness. Her sub
ject was handled with an ease
rarely ever attained by a Junior,
aud would have done credit to a
senior.
Miss Florence Crumbly chose
for her subject "Ambition.” and it
is needless to say site strove with
a laudable ambition to excel those
who had gone before her. Miss
Florence is recognized by her class
to be a formidable rival in dnea-
tionary contests, and upon this
occasion slie wan on tier metal.
Several times before she has *p-
penred before audiences at tlae
College, winning fresh laurels each
time but never before did she aj»-
jiear to such an advantage as in
llic contest on Monday.
Mias Genie Dosier favored the an
dience with a-Jnaior’s Lament,”
feeling assured that upon the
Junior class all the troubles, hard
ships and duties were imposed,
wiiiie the Seniors could spend
their time in otinm cum dignitale.
Although it was ostensibly a
-lament.’' it was perceptible that
there was an under current per
meating the whole composition,
which said that the "newspaper
seriblcrs would be sure to say that
this Junior jlass was the brightest
one that ever went forth to illus
Irate old Andrew,” ami she felt a
pardonable pride in the standing
ami progress made hy her class.
Mine Stella Wilson had a
beautiful subject, and when she
announced that “The Unpolished
Casket Contains tke Brightest
Jewel,” everyone had reason to
believe an exceptional essay was
to follow. She fullv grasped the
spirit of the sentence, ami in
ringing language sent blow after
blow into tlic camp of folly and
ostentation. Her reading waa
fine, and the essay couched, as it
was, in the finest conception of
pure English, had a telling effect.
“The Instability of Earl lily
Happiness'’ waa what Miss Eula
Boyingtnn dwelt upon, in language
calculated to convince the most
skeptical of the hollow mockery
contained in all that honor which
pertains to this mundane sphere,
without cultivating those enno
bling qualities of heart and mind,
which tend to lead one Heaven
ward. Anmyetl in a most exquis
itely embroidered robe, with the
tinge of modesty mantling her
cheek, site caught the attention of
the audience at once, and held it
throughout, both by her winning
manner and beautifully worded
essay.
Miss Annie Battle treated her
hearers to a description of the
“Gaitcrplione.” in an original and
humorous style, which placed her
at once among the favorites. Site
|Missesses an ease and grace of
manner, so necessary upon such
trying occasions, and added to
this a charming ap|iearance and
well modulated voice, she could
but come out of the crucial test
with flying colors. Her essay was
a striking one, and if it hit
hardest where human nature is
weakest, it was but appreciated
the more.
-Womans Sphere” was treated
by Miss Bessie Brown in a picas
ing manner. She had a fine eon
crplion ot the mission of the true
woman, and gave many jioinLed
illustrations, showing bow she
could lie useful as well as orna
mental in the walks of life. Miss
Bessie read well indeed, and re
ceived unstinted applause when
site resumed her scat. Hers was
among the best essays of the
morning.
Miss Mamie Humber had many
friemls in the audience, nnd was a
general favorite. She had select
ed “Monuments” as her Ihsme.
and well waa it handled. She
spoke of the monuments erected to
perpetuate the memory and gal
lant deeds ot the days of '76 on
the battlefield of Bunker Hill, and
of Cleopatra’s needle, which rears
its lofty pinnacle until the azure
vault would seem to stoop to kiss
it in its ambitious strides heaven-
ward, and closed by touching up
on the Confederate monuments
which dot this fair sunny land of
ours, speaking in language more
eloquent than tongue or pen could
portray, the love of the South for
those who battled for the South's
lost cause, and laid down their
lives that the cause might live, in
the reading she did herself much
credit.
-From the Junior's Desk,” was
the subject so charmingly ban
died hy Miss Olivia Bell. This
essay might well be classed among
the best of the evening, being well
written, and expresaing many
beautiful thoughts. Miss Olivia
proved herself painstaking in
study, and read with an case cal
culated to do credit to one much
older. Many complimentary allu
sions were made to this piece, and
the fair Junior who read it.
The last reader of the morning
was Miss Flower Allison. In a
smooth, well modulated tone, she
liegantotell of the “Universe.”
The subject wae an inexhaustible
one, but choosing those points
most applicable to the occasion,
and placing them before her hear
ers in the sweetest and brightest
manner |K>ssible, it was like listen
ing to the rippling murmur of the
mountain stream as it softly falls
over miniature precipices into
crystal lakes tielow, and was as
Mias Alice Clifton proved a
’ Irish char-
splendid delineator of
acterin “An Irish Story.” The
Irishman's journey through the
heath was charmingly toM, elicit
ing considerable applause, end
when she landed her hero at the
home of Dennis O'Dow, by the aid
of Dennis’ old cow, she succeeded
in bringing down the bouse.
-Ronald Clare,” by Mies Annie
Seay, was one of the beet recita
lions of the evening. Easy and
graccfol she ke|it the undivided
attention of tbe audience from be
ginning to end, and resumed her
seat amid marked enthusiasm.—
Miss Annie made a hesutilnl se
lection, and mastered it with aa
ease randy ever seen in much older
-The Station Master’s Story,”
liy Mies Myra Kimbrough, was a
splendid selection. Mies Myra
was viewed by bar class as a dan
gerous rival, anil well did she sus
tain her usual reputation. Pos
sessed of a well rounde<l, ami cul
tivated voice, she used it upon this
occasion with telling effect.
Tbe last recitation of the even
ing waa-Jamie,” by Miss Minnie
Speight. She too performed her
part with credit, and wan merito
rious applause. This recitation
was considered by many one of
the best of the evening, and waa
universally complimented.
The evening’s exercises dosed
with a dumb bell and wnnd drill
by the young ladies ami misses,
in which several new features were
introduced The tableau at tbe
close was especially striking ami
pretty. These exercises e»m|iose
a prominent part of the daily cur
riculum, and deserve more ilian a
passing notice did space permit.
No doubt they are instrumental
in making the college what it is.
the healthiest in Georgia.
TUESDAY MORNING
Was again the occasion of a large
gathering of friend* at tbe chapel
to witness the reading of essay*
by the graduating class, and
awarding of medals to the sue
cessful councillors l>y Rev. Cr*w
ford Jackson. The following
young ladies were participants in
the morning's exereiees as mem
bers of the graduating class:
Miss Annie Uames, Culhbert—
Salutatory.
M iss Delia Clifton, Miller coun
ty—~1 in mortality ol Words."
Miss Florence Pearce, Randolph
county—“The Nineteenth Centu
ry.”
Miss BundleCrozier,Randolph
county—-Practical Education for
Girls.”
Miss Annie Dozier, Quitman
county—-Jefferson Davis.”
Miss India Baldwin, Cullilierl
—-Scraps from a Crazy Quilt.”
Mis* Annie Ivey, Culhbert—
Valedictory.
Each essay was sparkling with
beautiful sentiment*, and covered
a vast field of research and inves
ligation. A novel and marked
feature of these exercises, and one
worthy of all commendation, was
the entire banishment of parade
in dress, hy tbe young ladies of
the graduating class. To appear
liefore such a Urge audience in a
plain calico dress, and read a
graduating essay, is not often seen
in a Georgia college ranking
among the first in the State, and
the departure by this class from
the usual fuss and feathers of the
girl graduate of the 19th century,
proves them to be young ladies ot
remarkable firmness aud good
judgment. We coinmcud them
for their stand on this question,
feeling that we echo the sentiment
of every one present, when we say
that Old Andrew never turned owt
a sweeter, prettier or more sensi
ble bevy of young ladies than the
graduating class of 1886.
Rev. Crawford Jackson, in a
few well chosen and appropriate
remarks, delivered the medals t«
the young ladies and misses to
whom they hail been awarded hy
the judges. They are as follows:
For Elocution in Intermediate Class
—Mattie Mt-Wiliianis.

AXXCAL MTEKAKT ADDRESS
Was Rev. S. W. Lee, of Atlanta,
widely known throughout the
State as one of the finest orators
either in or out of tbe church. He
chose to speak upon this occasion
upon the "Philosophy of Small
Men” a lecture which he has de
livered in several large cities to

ed to repeat this lecture here, not
withstanding he had ptepared a
special address for the occasion.

very simple bnt incontrovertible
proposition, namely: Public prop

benefit of private enterprises, how
ever meritorious they may lie.—
This proposition lias not been an
swered, and I would not again
trouble you, but inasmuch as "Old
Confeil” has seen proper to mis
represent me, I t hink a few word*
not altogether unnecessary. Find
ing himself confronted with an
argument that he could not over
throw, he endeavors to weaken its
effect by publishing mutilated ex
tracts, and by wilful misconstruc
tion of wlial I actually wrote.—
Cannot a man engage in the dis
cussion of public questions with
out being wilfully misrepresented?
Cannot a man engage iu honora
bic controversy without having
his motives impugned, and his Ian
guage misconstrued? Bnt this tig

not held by Jefferson end every
democratic statesman of proroi
ntnee down to the period of tbe

and join "Old Confed” in Ins con

titude of saying that it would lie
an act of injustice to erect a mon
ument to commemorate the noble
deeds of our fallen soldiers. He
even seeks to make it ap(>ear that
I declared that the resolution of
the Grand Jury was in keeping
with the spirit of radicalism.
Why did lie not have bis article
published in the Journal in which
mine appeared, so that we might
lone the same tribunal to pass
judgment upon the merits of w hat
wc did say? Or. declining to do
this, why did he not quote me cor
redly, aud thus show some regard
for justice and fairness? The cause
is too obvious to need any eluci
dation. I respectluily refer the
reader to my article for a correct
understanding of what was said.
I praised the motives of the Grand
J ury as being “doubtless good and
pure, for they sought to aid a
grand and glorious cause.” They
hoped that the time would soon
come when a Confederate monu
ment would be erected uponyour
puhiic square, commemorating
the deeds ot our suffering soldiers,
who bravely fought and nobly
died for their country. “A more
laudable object could not be con
templated by any body of men."
1 cherish the memory of our gal
lant soldiers, ami love the cause
for which they died, as much as
"Old Confed,” or any other mor
tal man.
Let us now briefly examine this
effusion of anger, and see if it con

these facts. He then in a very el
