These arc the hare outlines of a life
that went out in the early dawn of
Friday morning, hut they convey on
ly a feeble idea of the life that was
consecrated to Christianity and duty,
and that had nil ending as peaceful

ows before the rising sun.
Mrs. Jeter, during her long and
trying illness, seemed to be waiting
for the summons that would tree her
spirit from its suffering body, and
when she felt that the icy current was
creeping up to engulf her, and after
she had prayed with her children and
had, witli trembling hands, blessed
the tiny grandchild, she asked, “How
long must I wait?”
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the family residence yester
day morning, by Kcv..G. G. N. Me-
Donell, and the frail, pain racked
body rests quietly in Laurel Hill, but
the noble, kindly spirit rests with the
great Master.
Her life and example will remain
asiibcuediction with her husband, and
children, and friends.

A New President Elected
The Coming Year.
As announced in the Times-Ente
prise of yesterday morning, the Board
of Trustees of S. G. College held
another meeting yesterday morning,
The committee appointed to make
report on the applications, had made
a thorough canvass of them, and alter
a careful weighing ot the merits of
each applicant, the chairman reported
that the'eommittee had selected Prof.
Charles Woodward Hutson, as its
choice. He was then elected presi
dent of South Georgia College.
Prof. Hutson is a graduate of the
University of South Carolina nnd after
wards taught in Columbia in conjunc
tion with Dr, Boggs, now chancellor
of the state university. For some
years past he has been teaching in
Mississippi, and he has made a fine
reputation as an instructor and dis-
ciplinatian. In a letter written to
Col. Wright, chairman of the Board
ot Trustees of our college, Dr. Boggs
says: “He is a noble and able man
one in whom every member of your
Board will confide, and admire. He is
one to whom you or I would confide
a boy of our own, with tbe hope that
the association would impress the
teacher’s character on the pupil.”
This is high praise, coming
as it does from one who is himself
fine leader and teacher of boys, and
therefore, able to discover m others
the rare combination that goes to
make up the really good teacher.
Now that the selection has been
made, the people of our city must go
to work to hold up the hands of the
man that is to lead our college to use
fulness.
It is understood that IYof. Hutson
will accept the place to which he has
been elected, and so the next term of
the college will open w.th him at the
helm.

Melon Movements.
The melon markets of some of the
eastern cities have been weak for the
past few days, on account of heavy
ibipnicnts and cool weather. There
was no break, hut the depression was
sufficient to induce the Exchange to
stop shipments to New York. There
considerable complaint from all the
markets on the score of small and
green melons, which would seem to
indicate that our growers have not yet
given up the idea that they can trick
the sharpest people in the world into
buying green and sma’l melons. If
there is one feature of the melon bust
ness that will more than miotlier con
trol its future success or failure, it is
the recognition by the growers of the
fact that as long as they crowd the
markets with inferior melons, the
chances of a certain prolitnre dostroy-
It would pay the growers to buy
cry poor melon and dump them out
the hogs, rather than allow them to
to market to injure the sale of
good ones.

The epaulets for the lady sponsor to

them ; they will go to one of their
number, and in the category ofchaucc
there is no telling who the lucky lady
may be.

a crowd offifteeuor twenty colored
men nnd boys were standing in front
