This institute irfor all of South Georgia and the attendance will douhtUss be very large. Several of the Sonth Georgia counties wilt hold their an nual county institutes in conjunction with the Peabody. Five counties fiave already decided to do this and it is likely that others will follow suit, as the advantages and opportunities for learning in the Peabody are so much greater than in the county. In the latter there will only be one ex pert or lecturer, while the former will have five. Thomas, .Mitchell, Decatur, Brooks and Colquitt coun ties have already rigtiiGe.) a vriliiug* to hold jointly with the Peabody.

The Sermon Sunday Morning and the Drama at the Opera House Last Night. ^Last Sunday morning witnessed the opening of another commence* mentscarcn in Thomasville. These closing exercises of our colleges are always looked forward to with inter est and pleasure, not only by those who have children or relatives in at tendance on the schools and are there fore directly interested, but by the whole community, and the attendance at each day or night’s exercises is only limited by the capacity of the house. This year the exercises at both the South Georgia College and the Young Female College prom ise to cxcell all previous efforts.. The programmes that have been arranged are bright and attractive, and the students have learned their parts thoroughly, thereby insuring ail who feci disclosed to brave the heat, most interesting, pleasing and instructive cutertaiumeut. Sunday morning the South Georgia commencement sermon was preached in the chapel of the co'lege the Rev. W. Woodson Walker, ot Amer* icus. The large chapel wss com fortably filled, and had it not been for‘a shower that fell just before the services commenced and the threaten ing aspect of the clouds, which doubt less deterred many from oomiug out, the house would have been filled to t utmost capacity. The beautiful td impressive Episcopal service was u.iuctcd by Rev. Mr. LaRoche, sisted by Rev. Mr. Walker. The riptural lessons were read by Rev. A. M. Wynn, of the Methodist and Rev. D. II. Barker, ot the Baptist church. Rev. Mr. Walker then arose and announced his text, which was taken the Gth chapter and 14th verse of the hook of Judges: “Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianitcs: have not I sent thee.” For half an hour the attention of the large con gregation was closely held by the speaker, who handled his subject in an ab'e and forcible manner. THE DRAMA LAST NIGIIT. The entire down stairs of the opera house was packed last night to wit ness the production ot the drama: “The Social Glass.” Public expectation had, by reason ot the extensive advertising the play has received, been worked up to a high degree, and it is indeed a cini- pliment to the young ladies and gen tlemen who took part, as well as to their teachers, when we say that none were disappointed, but all pleased with their acting and the play. “The Social Glass” is a drama that hfiDgs out all the bad points of the liquor traffic and shows in all its liideous- uess the evil of intemperance. The tnorai of the play is good and we have u<» doubt impressed all who saw and heard it. No fault can be found with its interpretation by the company that presented it last uight. Each one had a good conception of his part, and tire whole play went off without a hitch. The following was the cast ot characters: ijimrley Thorn ley Carlos Lj-ucs at'-r Albert Beverly >1-1 HuJley Charles Pittman Farley John Watt Bob Brittle James liopkins llollis John Stegall Eva Thoruley Evelyn Mallard Nett'.e Xcttlcby Emma Mitchell Mrs. Farley Matsie Evans Mr. Carlos Lynes, as Charley Thoruley, the dissipated husband, end Miss Evelyn Mallard, as Eva Thornley, the loving and faithful wile, were the leading characters tue play, and they acted their parts iu a manner that showed they possessed more than ordinary dramatic talent. Albert Beverly, as Dr. Slater, played the part of the cool and dig nified doctor to perfection. Charlie Pittman, as Harold Hadley, made a capital worker for the cause of temperance. Miss Emma Mitchell, as Nettie Nettleby, and Miss Matsie Evans, as Mrs. Farley, acted their parts splen didly. The former completely cap* tivated the audience. Her acting was superb. The acting of John Watt, as John Farley, the saloon keeper, was so real as to cause some of the boys to re mark than John most have had some experience in the business. Nothing but praise can be said of the work of John 8tegall, who took the part of the scheming villain, and Jim Hopkins, the- detective in dis guise. They both walked the stage as it to tho manor born. Between the acts Miss Mary Hicks entertained the audience with some beautiful and exquisitely rendered piano selections. I The affair was a complete success and we must congratulate those tak ing part on the creditable manner in which everything was rendered. . There will be a number of declama tions ...and recitations at the chapel 4hia morning at TO d’clock, and to night * a variety entertainment jyill be given at the opera house, io which an admission of 10 cents will be charged. # We hope all who can will attend. THE FIRST CAR.! The First tar of Georgia Melons Shipped Yesterday. -’Die first car of Georgia melons was [hipped from Pelham yesterday. They were loaded iu L. & N. car No. 17407. They were grown by J. II, Sapp and shipped by J. IL Ryan, consigned to N. C. Brown, Memphis, Tenn. The car was routed via Ala bama Midland and L. & Iv. It left Pelham yesterday afterhooo at 2:50 o’clock, arrived here at 4:12, i.xid left on a ppecial train for Montgomery at 4:35 r which place was reached ut 10 o’clock lost uigkt. This is tho-first car of the sceaaon, but it wiii be followed probably to day by others. * FT S.—Since the above was in type we have received information that a carload of melons were shipped from Meigs yesterday, going via Albany, the Central, W.

Picnic at Pine Kill Accdemy Mr. Editor- At-thc closing of the echo A form of Miss Beulah Turner, there was a coin- unity picnic, Friday, Juno 2 id. that as, -iu every way, creditable. Miss Turner has proven herself a very successful teacher. She gave an ex hibition for the entertainment and delectation ui her patrons in tho tore* 1, that was very interesting, fol lowed by a Demurest in el a! coutest which the speakers all did them selves great credit. Tt:e judges wore Messrs. F, P. Horn, C. L. Ward and John L. Payne. The 'medal was awarded to Miss Lula Wheeler. Then dinner was spread, *and enjoyed to the fullest exleut. It was bouutitul in quantity and* superior in quality. For two or three hours the young folks walked, talked and sang. The old men grouped under the trees and formed a fi-h yarn circle, and put lip pearl button as a prize for the big gest and best fish story. For awhile it was difficult to decide between Frank Horn and Nat Turner, hut finally Mr. G. T. Porter spun a web that capped the climax, and fie brought the button to town us a trophy of his achievement. Visitor. A Row m the Bottom There was quite a row in Sandy Bottom Saturday night in which several Cubans and one «.r two negroes were more or l-.ss hurl It is impossible to learn the origin ot the row or the names of ail v h-« • k part, but there were quire a number mixed up iu it.

Mr. Editor: \YUh all due rrspict for the views of thoughtful minds Jo solving-the “Negro Prob’em,” allow me from the point of view taken on the coast ol Africa to advise both the’white and negro philanthropists and .financial agents that are urging the,negroes to return to Africa to use their love and their ability in this land, and let the Jjord christianize Africa by white people as he is doing, and after that work is well grounded, he will lead the negro to thq place he now craves if it be well for him to be there. With the followers of • Mahomet brought to the South, and the Chris tians of the South taken to Africa; in theory, it look* as if the hand of God would christianize the two con tinents at one stroke. In practice tUie is the picture. I <ee us I havo seen it in Algiers. The oriental is stronger in his faith, or superstitions than the Christian. Instead of ne* groes transplanted from America be coming more elevated after reaching their haven of rest, they would be more savage than thu Moor or Afri can and consequently would be as the ’ ’negroes are in Algiers—the shiyes' aud victims of the stronger man, be Le Moor, or African negro, or French man. Tho American negro, in a way a pauper of the United States Gov ernment, sent out as an exile by charity would commend no respect, marries a European loses caste to theSb prejudices are inherent and not cultivated, and are intended for some wise purpose. A visit to the Paris exposition gave one an insight into oriental life and Harper’s Weekly of June 2nd has an admirable article*on Tangiers. The suggestion to see the interior of the Algerian booth, and the expression of disgust at the dancing is all to true.
