Death of Miss Mamie Moore.
A shadow of sorrow was cast
over this community upon receiv¬
ing on last Monday the said intel¬
ligence of the death of Miss Mamie
Moore, of this city, which occurred
at 9:30 o’clock that morning.
For several weeks medical skill
and devoted nursing had battled
with that dread disease consump¬
tion, but to no avail, and on last
Monday morning her gentle spirit
went home to its Savior.
As she had lived, so she died,
quietly at peace with every one,
and fearing nothing.
Miss Mamie was a sister of Mr.
S. L. Moore, of this city, and was
raised in Eatonton, Ga., where she
was known and loved as one of the
purest and truest Christian maid¬
ens. During her brief residence,
only ten months, in Eastman, the
same tender, reverential Jove was
given her by tbe many friends her
gentle influence had won all of
whom can truly say :
“Norm knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.”
Tuesday morning her remains
were laid away in Ihe Eastman
cemetery in the presence of a large
concourse of sorrowing friends.
To the bereaved loved ones, the
Timks-Journal extends its heart¬
felt sympathy.
Childrens’ Day.
Childrens’ day at the Baptist
church last Sunday was quite a
success. The house was crowded
to its utmost capacity, (lie Metho¬
dist school having gone over in a
body. The children, each and
every one acquitted themselves
admirably in singing, recitations,
etc.
Everything passed off nicely,
and all, bot h old and young went
home, feeling glad that they had
attended. An interesting program
had been prepared which was
beautifully carried out. each one
rendering their part most admir
able, and but for our limited space
wo would give the program in full,
but suffice it to say the day was
a success in every particular and
one long to be remembered by the
children of Eastman.

Editors Times-Journal :
1 see in your last weeks’ issue
you speak of some very fine cot
Ion, 30 inches high, with 12 forms
to the stalk, etc. Now this is verv
nice for a 30 acre patch, though
Montgomery can beat that bv a
o-ood deal, I have 20 acres in cot
ton that will average two feet and
without hunting the best stalk J
counted 40 forms and have plenty this
j blooms. Crops all through
> section are very fine. The fact is
I we have some ol the finest 1 arm
■ lands that can no *onn< in .in\
section oi Georgia and especially
in the wiregrass portion. If sea
sons continue, I feel safe in say
ing that a good portion of the corn
planted through this pari ol Mont
gomery will yield 30 bushels or
more to the acre.
Spring Hill high school is sus
pended until September. hat old In

CLOSING EXERCISES

Cochran, (1 a, J une 11. 1890.
Editors Timks -Journal:
The closing exercises of the
New Kbenezer College at this
place will begin next week. Com
menceme.it sermon will be preach
ed next Sunday at 11 o'clock at
the First Baptist church, by Rev.
A. B. Vaughn, Jr., of Canton, Ga.
On Wednesday morning follow
ing. the general examination of
the students in the various depart¬
meats, will commence, and owing
to the large number of pupils to
be examined at least two days will
be consumed,
Wednesday night will be devo
ted to the dialogues and recita
iions of H»e hoys and girls of the
pGniaiy class,
'hi Ihursdav at 11 o clock, ( ol.
b- Rvals, of Macon, will deliver
1 hterary address to (lie school.
>)n Thursday night the young men
and young ladies of (lie advanced
classes will give an examination
and musical entertainment.
The music class will be examin¬
ed Friday, and on Friday night,
comes the declamations, recita
lions, charades, etc., after which
the medals and prizes will bo pre¬
sented to the winners, by Rev. C.
I). Adams.
No little interest is being mani¬
fested by our people*in the ap¬
proaching exercises, because of
the fact that great pains have been
taken by the teachers in prepar¬
ing the pupils for this occasion,
and that they will reflect much
credit upon both themselves and
teachers, is a certainty, and those
who attend, I dare say, will be
very highly entertained, as well as
astonished at the wonderful ad¬
vancement made during the pres¬
ent term. All who are interested
j n (] 1C success of the college are
cordially invited to attend.

Uotton’s Movements,
IVivate advices from Now Y ork
fells us the silver agitation seems
to have spent its force, and the bill
which will probably pass both
Houses within two weeks provides
for compulsory coinage of 4,500,
000 silver doHare monthly, or 30,
000,000 a year more than at pres
cut. and it is claimed that this is
hardly more than adequate to the
