A Model Farmer,
We arc informed by W. H. Bush
that II. D. Jackson, of Jackson coun
ty, has on his farm three rows of
corn, one hundred feet long, with
seventy stalks to each row. Estima
ting one ear to each stalk, the pro
duct should amount to one hundred
and eighty bushels per acre. This is
farming extraordinary. With the
above showing the farmers of Jack-
son will no doubt send a first-class
delegation to the meeting of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society
which convenes in Athens August
8th. They will be cordially wel
comed by our citizens on that occa
sion.
A Step In tile Itltflxt Direction
We see from the /Sumter Republi
can that it is proposed to, elect our
friend Capt. John A. Cobb, president
of the Agricultural Association of
Sumter county. This is right, Capt.
Cobb possesses every qualification for
the position. In addition to mental
capacity, good temper, suavity of
manner, firmness and dignity, he
has the practical experience derived
from many years devoted to agri
cultural life, as a successful planter on
a large scale.
He belongs to the class from which
all our agricultural societies, State
as well as county, would do well to
select their presidents, if their pur
pose is to advance the material inter
ests of the people of Georgia.

Please allow me to say, through your
columns, that I confidently expected
to publish the first issue of the above
named paper on Wednesday, the 26th
inst., but an unexpected and annoy
ing delay in the reception of my
Press, ordered from New York, will
delay the publication for another

I ask this courtesy at your hands
from he fact that I told several gen

sented to advertise with me that the

and time above mentioned.

It will be noticed in the report of
the exercises of the Lucy Cobb In
stitute that this young lady took
three medals—Literary, French and
Instrumental Music. We are as
sured th at such eminent success has
not been achieved for years, perhaps
never since the Institute was opened
We were informed by a teacher that
she had never seen so persevering
and industrious a student. With
this, her uniform cheerfulness gained
the love even of those who were her
competitors and certainly warmed in
to tender love the affection of her
teachers. Her gentle, nnaffeited
manners on the stage quite won tho
hearts of all the audience. She also
received the scholarship medal during
her Junior year. If Thomson has
any more young ladies ot her type
we would gladly welcome them ss
they would reflect credit on their
homes and the Institute.

Capt. Nickerson returned last week
from quite an extended trip to the
West and East, whence he had gone
ou business connected with the Ath
ens Foundry and the Northeast Rail
road. He visited all the large
Founderies in the cities of both sec
tions, including those at Louisville,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Patterson,
Wilmington and Richmond. At
Cincinnati he purchased a largo Bor
ing and Turning Mill for the Athens
Foundry, and from the celebrated
Baldwin Locomotive Works he pur
chased for the Northeastern Railroad
a new Engine a duplicate of the R.
L. Moss, which has done all the work
of the road up to date. The new
Engine is to be named Jno. W.
Nicholson, in honor ofllie first Pres
ident of the Road.
While referring to the road we will
mention that for the business year
closing May 1st, in addition to meet
ing all the current expenses and pay
ing a considerable sum for extraor
dinary expenses in the way of build
ing bridges, ride tracks, depots, etc.,
the road cleared about $16,000.
This, we think, is a handsome show
ing for the road. We are iuformed
by President Childs that nearly all
the second mortgage bonds have
been sold.

C °1>D Institute.
Our city has entertained quite a
number of visitors during the past
week, wheffiave been present at the
Commencement exercise# of the Lucy
Cobb Institute. Our citizens
of course interested in the tmccese of
the Institute and thus testify their
appreciation of the great work: -here
done by their very constant atten
dance on all their exercises. Mon
day morning was devoted to the rec
itation by the Fresh class, and read
ings by the Sophomores.
These exercises will compare fa
vorably with any preceeding ones.
Even the little ones seemed to be
imbued with the spirit-which per-
ades all connected with the school,
an earnest desire to use all the means
at command as a help to their im
provements.
Their recitation and readings were
very flattering to their progress in
the elements of elocution. And
when all have done so well it would
be unjust fit allow our taste to select
few names from so bright a coterie.
Monday night was devoted t > an
exhibition * of the Juveniles and
though the rain poured in torrents
and the streets were fearfully muddy,
the hall was comfortably full. The
operetta of “ Red Riding Hood *»
was most charmingly performed by a
host of beautiful little sprites, Miss
Maude Talmadgc made a most
charming little Red Riding Hood,
and her bright face drew all eyes to
her. Miss Mary Newton Cobb acted
the Mother to perfection. Miss
Lamar Rutherfoi d acted the wolf
a style perfectly inimitable, and
while her appearance was very formi
dable, the charming little qnesn ot
the furies, Miss Tillie Morton, could
not restrain her laughter at the con
trite looks of the wolf when she
tried to shame him for his designs on
Red Riding Hood. A number of
little girls representing flowers and
their beauty, formed a bouqet
strange ramose, During the danc
ing of the laries the sweetest sight
was little Lucy Hunnicut only about
3 years eld, yeti she was full of the
spirit of the piece. The patient care
which the.kind teachers exhibited in
the preparation of their perform
ances deserves most prominent and
kindly mention. At this school more
than any I have ever known, the
teachers consider no pains or care too
much which adds to the happiness or
advancement of the scholars.
The silverware delivered by the
National Silver-Plating Co., No. 704
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, is giv
ing entire satisfaction. All orders
arc promptly filled, and no one need
hesitate about sending them money.

The Junior exhibition on Tuesday,
was most creditable, we refrain from
the expression which among newspa
per reporters has become somewhat
trite “ that it was the best we over
attended.” Certainly this exhibition
can lose nothing by comparison with
any other, and if we judge the
future of the young ladies by their
success this year, the Seniors of the
past must look to their gracefully
worn laurels. Your reporter is
again tempted to express his -opinion
as to who was most successful—but
lie refrains—knowing full well that
very many would differ with him.
The Concert, on Tnesday night,
was a marked success. This was
largely due to the taste with which
the programme was arranged. It is
not expected that young ladies could
fully appreciate the genious of Beet
hoven, Handel, Mozart, and other
great masters, or render their compo
sitions. Even if this was possible
certainly no mixed audience could
appreciate the performance. Hence,
Prof. Schirmarker, made most admi
rable selections, simple, yet full of
delightful harmony. His incompar
able violin certainly received a large
share of the applause. We consid er
the Institute as most fortunate in
possessing at once so charming a musi
cian, so successful a teacher, so
perfect a gentleman. Not a few of
the songs and instrumental pieces
were perfect.

forego paying a just tribute to special
young ladies of the other classes must
be my excuse now, all did well.
Three of the compositions struck me
as being the very best I had ever
heard which three they were I will
not say, not being the fighting editor.

cises after the delivery of diplomas to

But now every eye was directed to

catch the name of those fortunate
ones who were to be crowned with
more glittering honors.

Maj. Cobh then read the following
resolution by the Board of Trustees:
Resolved, That all pupils of the
Lucy Cobh Institute, who prior to
1872 studied here the regular colle
giate course are considered alumae
of said Institute.
Tho Lucy Cobh lias always been
an institution of which our people
have been justly proud. We are
glad to learn that efforts are being
made, by which we hope a more
commodious Chapel will be provided.
The watchful care of the Trustees,
the loving and faithful lobors of the
teachers, and the eminent success of
each class of young ladies demand
this at our hands. We hope the
gentlemen who have been named as
a committee to forward this work
will actively and earnestly engage in
this labor.

Good Digestion.—“ Give U9 this
j day our daily bread” and good medi
cine to digest it, is both reverent and
human. The human stomach and
liver are fruitful sources of life’s
comforts ; or disordered and diseased,
they tingle misery along every nerve
and through every artery. The man
or woman with good digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome
obstacles they meet in the routine of
life, where the dispeptic sees only
gloom and stumbles and growls at
even imaginary objects. The world
still needs two or three new kinds of
medicine before death can be perfectly
abolished; but that many lives have
been prolonged, and many sufferers
from Liver disease, Dispepsia and
Headache, have been cured by Mor
rell’s Hepatine, is no longer a doubt.
It cures Headache in twenty minutes,
and there is no question but what it is
the most wonderful discovery made in
medical science. Those afflicted with
Biliousness and Liver Complaint
should use Merrell’s Hepatine.
