Our reports from day to day have given in detail the exercises that have attended the commencement of Young Female College that has just closed. Now that they are of the past, and looking at them in their entirety, it is safe to say that the daily programme exceeded in attractiveness any that has been given at any preceding com mencement. This was to he expcclcd, and might be said to he a natural se quence following the most prosperous term the college has ever known. It is always pleasant to bear testi mony to work well done, and in this case wc take the agreeable opportunity to say that the graduation papers, and the exercises participated in by the undergraduates of the institution, gave evidence of thorough work on the part of the teachers, and time well employed by the pupils themselves. There must always be something in the expectant attitude with which grad nates face commencement audi ences, to them the symbol of the great world, that appeals with strong power to the sympathy of those that have passed from under the shadow of their school days. It will happen that many of the idea's that form so large a part of the hopes ami expectations of young ladies, and young men, too, will be shattered by contact with the world, but we cherish the \yish that the voting ladies that left the shelter ing arms of Young Female College this week, maybe the hostages of good fortune, and may those that take up, a£ the opening of the new term, studies left off, work and walk worthy of the opportunities they have of gar nering up knowledge within its classic walls. Educational Report. We give much of our space this morning to the report of the commit tee on Education, made to the Board of Trustees of South Georgia College at its meeting last Tuesday. It is an able paper, and as bearing on the needs of the college and the cause of education generally, it is worthy of a careful perusal. It fore shadows a policy on the part of the Board of Trustees of this institution that is bound to bring good results. The Board is to be brought into, more active sympathy and work with the faculty. Each is to feel that the other is equally interested in the pros perity of the college, and as unity of effort always brings the best results, it is fair to take it for granted that the same will follow in the present case. With Thomasvilles prestige as a health resort, and the splendid col lege building she has provided, there ought to he a large number of stu dents in attendance from middle and eastern Florida. From the university to thd&Sommon shools, the caure of education will receive a forward im petus within the next year that will mark an important era in the history of the state. South Georgia College is in position to profit by the impetus and the Board of Trustees will, as they have in the past,, hi on the alert, and ready to present the claims of Tliom- asvilles pet institutions to public fa vor.

He will go from New port into the mountains of North Car olina, and will spend a part of the summer among the Cherokee Indians in that state—with Dave Owl, Oo- goo-kod, and his brother Jim Keg sa tar-nee, chief and sub chiefs of the tribe. His object in eoing among the Indians is to investigate and discover, if possible, the iikx/h* nyiwpi fiWnd the rapeutic value of a plant or shrub, said to be indigenous to Swain county, the home of the Chcrokecs, and claim ed by them to be an infallible cure for consumption, Any discoveries of in terest made in this investigation will be promptly reported to the Times- Enterprise, and specimens of the plant will be sent to the pharmacy of R. Thomas, from which I’rofessor C. S. Bondurant will prepare tinctures, fluids, extracts and syrups, in time to be tested and utilized during the com ing winter. It is only by experiment that the value of any drug can be established. It would be strange, indeed, if the poor, persecuted red man should prove the discoverer ol a cure for a disease which has baflled the combined skill of the medical world for twenty-five hundred years.

It seemed ludicrous to me when one of the glass men said to me a few days ago that he could not get good sand in Georgia. “Why, southern Georgia and the line of coast is covered with it,” suggested. “But it is not the right kind,” he said.; The sand used by the Atlanta glass works comes from Ber/.elia, near Au gusta. That is the purest sand the experts have as yet been able to find Even that is not the best, hut it makes excellent green glass and will do to make white glass also. Samples of sand from South Caro lina arc being tested, and seem to be purer than the Berzclia quality. It is also thought that there is better sand along the East Tennessee road, and experts will soon go in search of it.— Atlanta Journal. If the glass manufacturers of At lanta will conic down to Thomas county, wc can show them, on the hanks of the winding Ochlockoncc, the purest sand in America. Conic down ami see it.
