evening was a varied one, and if there
be any fault to find with it, it might
he .»nid that it was a hit long.
The Trnitoes and Faculty occupied
scats on the stage, and a few other
gentlemen were so favored.
Miss Birdie Woodson, in the open
ing instrumental piece showed that she
had a fine conception of music, and
that she had been well taught,
Mr. J. W. I)uren ir “The Oration
at Valley Forge,” gave evidence that
he has in hint the making of an ora
tor.
Miss Marion Hayes rendered Men
delssohn's Rondo Capriecio, in a
manner that received the hearty ap
proval of the audience.
Mr. II. IV. Roberts in an extract
from the matchless speech of II. W.
Gradv, at Boston, showed that he was
not unworthy to take on his lips the
fervid eloquence of the dead orator.
The Magnetic Wall/. Hong ns sung
by Miss Rosalie Ilowkins, was the
sweetest event of the evening. Miss
Ilawkins has a sweet, flexible voice,
that she has in perfect control. It is
not often that aThomasville audience
has an opportunity to listen to a voice
of such purity and truenrss. Later
in the evening, Miss Ifawkins sang
1 Marguerite” and this most plaintive
of all modern songs never had a truer
interpreter. To a prolonged and per-
acveiing encore, Miss Hawkins sang
“Way Down on the Suwannee River,”
and in its rendering, she lost none of
the favor her preceding dibits had
given her with the audience.
Prentiss’ Mississippi Contested Elec
tion was well declaimed by Mr. B.
Arrington.
Miss Carrie Wo Ilf rendnred two
difficult instrumental pieces Etude de
Styles and n Mazurka, by Godard in
a superb manner.
Mr. I lav in H. Kiefer declaimed an
Extracts from Daniel Webster's
speech in n memorable murder ease,
in a way that pleased the audiei.ee,
and must have been gratifying to his
friends.
Miss Sara Woodson gave Polka de
Concert, a difficult instrumental piece
which made a pleasant ending to part
first of the programme. The Caprice
Ilongrois a duet by Misses Jarrell and
Williams was a gem.
Two young gentlemen, Mess. .1.
McMullen and .1. Roberts took the
affirmative side of the proposition that
the abolition of slavery had henefitt.’d
the south, while Me.-s, C. Denmark
and C. W. Holloway took the nega
tive. Judge H. IV. Hopkins was
referee, and gave the decision in favor
of the affirmative side. Mr. B. F.
Hawkins then delivered the medal
given by Capl. Miller of the Cadets to
the best drilled member ol the corps,
Cadet Eugene Smith.
Mr. Hawkins next delivered the
medal for declamation to Mr. II. W.
Roberts, and the one oflercd for the
best speaker in the debate, to Mr. J.
Roberts.
Capt. llansell of the Guards then
presented Capt. Miller of the Cadets
corps a handsome sword and a belt
in the name of the Cadets. Capt.
Miller was completely taken by sur
prise, hut responded in an appropri-
priatc fashion. He lias made him
self very popular with the men of his
command, and lie is one of the best
drill officers in the Slate.
The National Drill the last event
on the programme was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience. Ten young
ladies took the part of a like number
of the leading nations ns follows:
The United Stales was personated by
Miss Birdie Smith, England by Miss
Rena Davis, the United States Navy,
Miss Daisy Scott, Austria, Miss Jessie
Carroll, Ireland, Miss Marion Ilayes,
France, Miss Fannie Lee, Spain, Miss
sponsors.
The marching and evolutions of
the young Indies were very creditable,
and showed that Capt. Miller who
had charge of the preparation for the
event was equally as efficient in
drilling the young ladies ns he is the
cadets of the college. ft was a late
hour when the exercises were con
cluded, and the audience dispersed
to their several homes thoroughly
satisfied with the pleasures of the even
ing.

As a Mark of Esteem.
The residence of Mr. J. L. Linton,
on upper Broad street was the scene
of a very pleasant allair Inst night.
Capt A. G. Miller of the South
Georgia College Cadets ryas the recip
ient of a souvenir from the young
ladies that took part in the National
Drill Friday night. They presented
him with a handsome scarf and pin,
as a testimonial of their gratitude for
his skill in preparing them for the
drill.
Miss Irene Davis made the presen
tation speech. Capt. Miller was ta
ken by surprise, but in a few remarks
showed that lie appreciated their kind
ly act, after which refreshments were
served. Besides those that took part
in the drill that were present Miss
Hope Linton was also an interested
observer of the pleasing event.
Postponed.
The entertainment that was to have
been given by the ladies of St. Thom
as church Guild has been postponed
to Thursday evening 2<>th ins. Pre

interest in tins matter are the grow

from tho rule we have laid down.
The syndicate Inis sworn weighers to
protect its interests in one direction,
and they ought to have sworn men to
puss on the merchantable quality of
melons, as well as their size. Hon
esty is the best policy in shipping
melons, as well as in other things.
Hussars Meeting.
The Hussars will hold a meeting at
their armory to-morrow night . It is
important that every member attend,
the arrangements for the Tourna
ment, July 4th, will he up for discus*
sio:i and action.
Will Attend Church in Uniform.
Both the Guards and Hussars will
attend the Presbyterian church this
morning in uniforms. Rev. Mr. Her-
liener will preach a special sermon to
the members of the two companies.
It is especially appropriate that the
gallant boys of the Guards commend
themselves to the Divine protection
during the time they wiM be away
from home.
ATTENTION !
Off For Augusta.
The Guards leave to-day at li:35
for the Augusta encampment. Thorn-
asville looks with pride and expect
ancy on tlie.se representatives of Her

hear a good report from them. One
thing is certain, no more soldierly
body of men will he at. the encamp
ment.
Attention Hussars.
You are hereby ordered to turn
out at the Guards Army, Broad
street this morning at 10:.‘50 sharp,
in uniform. \Vear sabre belts hut

A Big Sale.
Cairo,
Mr. \V. B. Roddenbery,
shipped his first car of melons fo John
Stout, the well known eommission
man cf New York last week, A es-
terday the car was sold for §110 gross,
which will net something over §300.
This lays the Chicago sale in the
shade, and stands as a splendid model.
This fine sale will make Mr. Stout
very popular with the shippers. He
is already the agent of the Melon
Growers Association, in New York.
Hon. W. 1. Humphreys and Capt.
J. G. McCall, both of Quitman, have
announced themselves ns candidates
for the democratic nomination for
members of the lower House of the
General Assembly. Mr. Humphreys
has served before. Roth gentlemen
announce that they will look carefully
after the interests of the farmers. Our
sister county is likely to have some
very warm' politics before the prima
ry settles who will he the democratic
nominee.
Thomasville Guards.

uniform without arms, to-day at 10:30

Hardeman in the Ring.
Col. Hardeman has given to the
pr-.ss a letter announcing bis candi
dacy for governor. Speaking directly
to alliancetnen, be says :
‘ Demand for yourselves nothing
but what is right, submit to nothing
that is wrong. So act as to command
the symyatlnes of the whole people.
Rely not too much on promises made
to you by men who in their zeal may
promise more than can be accomplish
ed. Remember the grange—and no
better organization was ever instituted
for the planters’ welfare. It drifted
Iromits mooring, entered into politics
under the guise ol direct trade, where
it great resulls were assured, much
saving in cost and much increase in
profits to every farmer in Georgia
Some, high in agricultural position
now, made these promises (as they
arc making others now). They were
never fulfilled ; distrust of the members
in their organization followed, and
the grange died, and upon its tomb
could be written, “Killed; too much
politics, too much promised, too little
fulfilled." Profit by the lesson you
own history teaches you.”
