THE JACKSON ECONOMIST. I VOL. VII. WINDER PUBLIC SCHOOLEXEBCISES A Splendid Program Rendered and Perfect Order Preyailed. i LIST UFTHITGRADDATLS The Commencement Exercises Were Especially Good and All the Pupils Acquitted Themselves Well. The commencement exercises of Win der public school closed Tuesday night with the concert by Prof. Black’s mus ic class. On last Friday night the De mosthenian society had their public de bate, in which the young men acquitted themselves ably and hauled the subject of expansion and anti expansion with much credit to themselves and Jo the satisfaction of the full house that greet ed them. The public exercises of the school began on Sunday, with the com mencement sermon by Dr. Pogue, of Lawrenceville. His subject was ‘ There is now no foundation laid than that which is laid,” and it being a beautiful morning, the chapel was crowded to hear this eloquent divine. The sermon was one of profound thought, full of logic and chaste axd beautiful language. Sunday night Dr. Pogue preached again to an appreciative audience on “Seek ye the old ways and walk there in” Themonday morning program was well attended and greatly enjoyed by the large audience present The recita tions and declamations were splendid and all did so well that we refrain from making any personal mention. Indeed, it would be a difficult matter to decide who did best, and a criticism of any of the pupils would be unjust. The music was delightful and added much in mak ing the exercises so entertaining. Mon day night’s exercises opened with a packed house but better order was never seen and nothing accurred to cause the least disturbance or unpleasantness. First on the program was some ex cellent music by the Winder brass band —a band of home tallent that has but re cently been organized, and already will rank with the leading ones in the state. The piano duets and solos, the dramas and recitations were all of a high order and commanded the attention of the large crowd. The song by little Ike Jackson and Ruth Carithers “Quit That Ticklin' me” completely captured the house and delighted every one. At the close of the exercises Monday night, Prof. Orr delivered diplomas to the graduating class composed of the following young ladies and gentlemen: Misses May DeLaPer rieie and Osee Wills and Messrs W. A. Hale, J. H. Maynard, M. J. Maynard W. A. Jackson. In delivering the diplomas Prof. Orr. made these young people a good talk full of wisdom and advice, which if heeded will make their future lives successful. Every one complimented the short pieces and distinctness in the articula tion of the pupils. The behaviour of the pupils, both on the rostuin and be hind the scenes was excellent and there w as a hearty co-operation between them and the teachers. Prof. Black’s musical Tuesday night closed the com mencement exercises. His music class did credit to him and themselves and in connection with the band the evening was a delightful one to all Who attend ed. very little time was devoted'to preparation for commencement so as to aetraofe as little as possible from the studies and when this is taken into consideration, Winder never had a more successful and interesting com mencement than the one just closed. No teachers have been more conscien tious and untiring in then - efforts to ad ance and benefit their pupils and make e _? r jast closed a successful one nan Profs. Orr, Ware and Black and isses Cora and Delia Neal.

What the end will be God only knows. All forma of business have assumed some form of gambling The highest offices in government are secured by the lar gest purse. And the alarmiug thing about it is the indifference of the peo ple. No concern is manifested in re gard to the commission of political crimes, however monstrous It seems to be the universal opinion that because we have increased in edu cation, science, inventions and wealth therefore we are establishing a bet ter, hajipier civilization. The reverse is exactly the truth Greece and Rome boasted of their scientific attainments, their painters, sculptors, their men of great eloquence, when corruption fes tered in the body politic. Allison Bays, “Rome was prating about the light of the age and the un paralleled state of social refinement when the swords of Alaric and Attila were already drawn. So, in the midst of the spread of knowledge in our country in the last 50 or 60 years, every species of social de pravity has grown in like ratio. Within the recollection of the writer if a man had hinted at buying another’s vote it would have cost him something But in one of our new western states, when a man holds up a package of $30,000 and says it is to be used to buy votes for a certain man, he is ex celled from the legislature for divulging the secret, and the briber is elected. — Rev D Oglesby. Two Way* of Taxing;. My lords and gentlemen, to levy a direct tax of 7 per cent is a dangerous experiment in a free country and may incite to revolt, but there is a method by which you can tax the last rag from the back and the last-bite from the mouth without causing a murmur against high taxes —and that is to tax a great many articles of daily use and necessity so indirectly that the people will pay them and not know it. Their grumbling then will be of hard times, bnt they will not know that the hard times are caused by taxation. —William Pitt in House of Lords. England. Ready For The Public.
