Sunday Lectures, —These lect urea
at the Methodist church seem to be
increasing in interest. A fair crowd
was in attendance Inst Snndayto bear
an interesting address by 8.11. Wil
liams, E-q. On account of the anni
versary exercises next Sunday, there
will be no lecture. Col. Mobley will
deliver a lecture Sunday week, on the
subject of—well, wo won't say; but,
ns it will bo more particularly nd
djessed to the young people, and he
will endeavor to mako it interesting
and beneficial to them, they are es
pecially requested to bo present, al
though it will do for tbc older ones
also to hear.
®gj-Mr. A. Sanford called at the
post-office, one evening last week, for
his Visitor, but it was not there.
Next morning ho called again and got
it, in a crumpled condition. It had
been taken out by someone, read,
nnd then returned. Mr. S. requests
us to say that if tlio party who bor
rowed his paper will furnish him
with his name, lie will subscribe for a
copy for him, ns ho prefers not to
lend his before he can get a chance to
read it himself.
Tue Country Physician—How
few persons appreciate as they should
tho services of (he country physician!
And yet be performs services that the
city physician never dreams of. The
latter’s services aro over when death
has done his work. But the former,
in many cases, nftcr the decease of
his patient, performs tho kind offices
of making arrangements for tho fu
neral, assists in comforting tho bo
reaved, and joins in the # funcral pro
cession ; for often tho departed one
has been his friend ns well as patient.
Frequently the country physician
takes his pay in produce, and often
docs not get that, to say nothing ol
the many cases which he treats.with
out hope of fee or reward—although
his services are as faithfully given to
thoso who do not pay as to those
who do.

Don’t forget the Sunday-school
anniversary at the Methodist church

pleasure to bo able to call attention

paper, which will be found in our ad
vertising columns. Tho litnes has

deservedly so; for it is, and always

IN CHASSE OF rROWESSaEOH ABLEB n.
•LA MATTE.
The extfmining committee on tbc
occasion of the public exercises of
fl is popular school, bog leave to sub
mi! the follow itig report to the friend
of education, lltrcmgh the eoiumuo of
your papers
These*everci-os began on ti e *th
and 'Closed on the 10th of tliis month.
The first day was devoted to the ex
artiimvfion of. the primary clas“e°,
with now and then a declamation
and original composition interspers
ing, which beguiled the hours and
the occasion of that dull monotony
that always attends protracted ex
animations. Wo would not make
invidious distinctions. This cLs*
acquitted themselves admirably, giv
ing evidence of study on their part,
and bespeaking the greatest pains
taking for their teacher, as demon
strating his great superiority as an
educator, so that wo feel assured
that no friend dr patron went away
feeling and saying, ns they often do
on such occasions, “ the smaller schol
ars have been neglected on account
of the larger ones.”
Prof. La Ifatte’s motto evidently i
u thoroughness," from the initin! step
in the work of education, to its final
consummation. The crowd was large,
but notwiibstnndiflllt this, the good
order oft the part of visitors and pu
pils was remarkable indeed.
The second day’s exercises were
devotdd to the examination of the
collegiate classes. In tbo linguisli
cal department the examination was
of unusual interest. The translations
in Cicero and Horace were good
beyond any grounds of objection,
giving the substantial meaning of
these authors respectively, and not
so litoral as to awaken any suspi
cion of trickery in the minds of those
acquainted will) tbo Latin language.
The examinations in philosophy,
arithmetic, algebra and geometry,
gave tbo greatest satisfaction ; and
especially did the class demonstrate
their proficiency in surveying, and
we have no doubt, with their knowl
edge of tbo theory, they would very
soon become practical surveyors.
The examinations of the second
day were also happily interspersed
w ith original compositions and decla
mations, nil of which commended
themselves to our hearty cheers by
their unmistakable signs of originality,
their elegance of diction and grace
in delivery. Space is not allowed ns
to speak of many exercises, that Could
only bo appreciated by being seen
and heard.
Near the close of the afternoon ex
ercises tin) audience was most pleas
antly entertained bv an address on
the subject of education by one of
the [pupils —T. lfutledge Mitchell,
son of our townsman, Dr. T. S.
Mitchell.
'flic closing exercises of tbo day
was tho delivery of the valedictory
address by Robt. O. Pitts, son of
Hilliard W. Pitts, of this place. This
was well conceived, and reflected
syreat credit on the valedictorian.
Thus closed tbe most delightful ex
animation and exhibition of the kiud
that wo have ever witnessed.
On Friday night tbe audience
again met in tbe ball of the Insti
tute to hear addresses from Cnpt. L.
L. Stanford and tbe Rev. G. S. John
ston. The Captain led off in a very
happy address on tlie genetal subject
of education, and led bis audience
along through fields of richest thought
and into gardens of beauteous tlow
ers. AH were delighted, and ob
jected only that his address was too
short.
Then the Rev. G. S. Johnston was
introduced, and addressed the audi
ence in a few pertinent remarks, but
in spite of his ministerial dignity, his
love of humor got tho upper hand of
him, and he drew upon his fund of
lively anecdotes until tho whole
house from centre to circumference
was convulsed with laughter. This
did not, in the estimation of the au
dience, in the least compromise the
dignity of tho divine, while it pre
pared many of the young people for
social enjoyment, to whom the house
was given up after a few remarks
and returning of thanks oy Prof. La
Ilntte, which were well timed and
gracefully delivered.
The Committee heartily commend
Prof. La Ilatle to tho confidence and
patronage of the friends of education
everywhere. He is an educator in
the strictest and most modern sense
of that term. Whilst instructing
the mind he does not negl.ct the
heart of his students, but seeks, by
precept and example, to impress bis
students with the beauties ot Chris
tian morality, lty his courteous bear
ing and superior culture, ho has won
a warm place in the affections of tbe
people of Hamilton ar.d vicinity.
Let us solicit a more liberal pat
ronage for him. llis system of in
struction and discipline cannot be
surpassed in this country nor in any
oilier. On his public examination oo
cations we.w ill not see whitewash i>ig,
or any evidences of special prepara
tion tor a special occasion.
Hamilton is easy of access, is as
healthy a locality as can be found
North or South. Board can be had
on reasonable terms.

The rose geranium was very nice

A negro shot ami killed one of Dr.
Griffin’s goats last week. The report
of the gun attracted tbo attention of
a passer-by, who went and found the
bleeding goat. '1 he thief ran off’with
onl any compensation for his trouble.
The \V. H. It’s, locals remind us of
pie-crust apd honey—very short and

give a column of interesting items
every week; for it is a village of con
siderable size.
A letter from Cass county, Tixns,
says crops in that section arc unusu
ally fine. Cotton is growing off rap
idly, while the corn is as good as
could possibly be expected. The
mast crop is a’so v cry fine, and sports
men are looking forward to the hunt
ing season with much pleasure.
When the C. R. gets short of dots,
he bangs away at us; but wo never
notice the report of an old cast-barrel
gun, from the simple fact that they
can’t do any damage, no matter liovv
heavily it bo charged. That’s all
right, O. R.; fill your column if you
can.
Two gentlemen not much older or
larger than the C. R. and Prof. Jump

to sit still and blush it out. Ilurrah

“ Slick,” a correspondent of the
Visitor from C'ataula, is advancing
some wonderfully bright ideas about
pea-planting, and more especially pea
dropping. Tho latter was not at all
now' to us, ns w e too used to drop
peas on horseback when quite small.
This “Slick” man is considered a
very successful farmer, as well as ev
erything else. W 0 learn he has a
prize patch of corn, on w hich ho put
two hundred pounds of guano, and
other manures iu proportion. He
broke his land thoroughly, checked it
about two and a half feet, planted
and cultivated agreeably to the dic
tates of “ Hoyle,” and, astonishing to
say, on the first of July it averaged
four feot high, and was about to tas
sel out. Now, w o think this ought
to be considered as successful as
dropping peas on horse-back.
A young man put a ring on a young
lady’s linger with a wish. Tho time
arrived for tho wish to be made known
and the young man asked for a little
while longer, as there were too many

I’d twine myself into a cuil,

We visited a section yesterday
w here twelve long weeks have passed
and not even a refreshing shower lias
fallen. Tho crops aro very poor in
deed. Corn is from half log to waist
high, and in full tassel, with a puny
little silk, half baked by the hot sun
shine. The cotton is very small,
though much better than the corn.
The potatoes will be almost a com
plete failure. Gardens are ruined,
and everything looks dry and gloomy.
