FARMERS, TAKE NOTICK I
Next Saturday is the next regular meet,
ing of the Spalding Farmer’s Club, on
'whioh occasion there will be a test of im
proved plows for deep work and sobsoiling.
The following will be tested—Dodge’s,vßid
well’s, Bloodworth’s, Murfeey’s and Ure
ka. The offioers of the olub request us to
hay that they would be glad to have present
farmers from neighboring counties, who
feel interested in establishing an improved
system of agriculture.
It is hoped there will be a large attend
ance, especially of Spalding oounty farmers.
COMMENCEMENT SERMON.
* On last Sabbath the Methodist Church
Vae filled to its utmost capaoity. The num
ber of beautiful young ladies and matrons,
and their display of taste in dress, might
nstonish-persons from any other portion of
Georgia, but with us it is but a common oc
currence. The choir, under the leadership
of S. Col. Mangham, witb|Prof. Paling, the
profioient organist, delighted the audience
With most exoetlent music appropriate to
the occasion.
the commencement sermon, by Rev. A.
G. Haygood, was eloquent and learned,
showing a remarkable familiarity with his
toric, profane and Biblical literature. His
effort was to prove that the Bible is of di
vine origin, and his argument was rare,
beautiful end convincing. Among other
arguments, he showed that the Bible was
written by about forty persons at different
periods, daring sixteen centuries, and each
surrounded by different sooial and national
associations ; yet each consistent with the
other, proiucing one harmonious unity of
morals and religion, which the combined
efforts of wise philosophers have not been
able to improve or successfully controvert;
that wicked men would never have sugges
ted the. self-sacrificing system of morals
and religion, demonstrating the dependence
and nothingness of mun, the supremacy
and wisdom of God—and if the production
of good men, we must take their assertion
that they wrote by divine inspiration as
true, or believe they were not good but
deceitful imposters. His illustration of the
great teachings of the Bible upon the mor
als, civilization and government, and the
wisdom, eloquence and grandure of the
context, were beautiful and eloquent.—
Upon the whole the sermon was able, per
fect and unanswerable.
MRS. COLLINS' SCHOOL.
On Friday, the 25th inst„ we had the
plea-ure of attending the examination of
Mrs. Amanda Collins’ school, situated near
Richard Manley’s. We observed among
the childron a manifest affection for their
books, and in their examination, exhibited
an accurate proficiency rarely seen. Mrs.
TJU!INMWRV|niU% to bare enfortsed a rigid
discipline and a thonrough system of train
ing. She showed a perfect familiarity
with the duties of the school room, and while
her discipline is good, she has evidently
won tho love of the children—which is a
great point gained toward success as a
teacher. All ;the children did well and
the young ladies and large boys were
prompt, courteous and accurate in theirde
portment and answers. All the patrons
seem plensed with Mrs. Collins, and all
show a decided interest in building up and
maintaing a good school in their neighbors
bond. At the close of the examination,
Judge Boynton made a short address on the
duties of the hour.
COTTAGE SCHOOL EXAMINATION.
We were prevented by business engage
ments from attending this School Exhibi
tion last week, an aoconnt of which will be
found in tho following notice from the Mid
dle Georgian of Saturday:
“It was our good fortune to be present at
the exhibition, given by Mrs Hugh E. Mor»
row, with the assistance of the pupils of
her sohool, on Thursday evening. The exs
aminntion of classes occurred on Thursday,
and was entirely,'satisfactory to the patrons
of the school, and very creditable to Mrs.
Morrow and her pupils. The exhibition at
night was well arranged and proved very
interesting to a largo audience, many of
whom, ou account of insufficiency of room
inndoors, congregated around the doors and
windows, all evincing the liveliest interest
in the proceedings. Many meritorious
compositions, of both prose and poetry, all
original, were read, and the occasion en
livened by musio, singing and representa
tions, (the boarding school scene being
carried out to perfection—the governess
winning golden opinions by her excellent
management of her unruly pupils. We
hope the expulsion of that bad scholar had
a good effect on all children present.)—
Where all did well, it it unnecessary to
particularise, and we can only say that
Mrs. Morrow’s pupils evince a degree ot
care in the educational management, not
common, and her pupils do her credit. Al
though her school is not very large, not
over fifty, probably, it is select, and there
fore affords greater facilities for learning.
Among her pupils we saw several young
ladies, apparently receiving the finishing
touches, preparatory to taking tboir proper
sphere in life—the majority of whom
evinced uncommon ability. Among the
number we saw a daughter of Major
Black, of Americas, Georgia, a gentleman
vrho has been a good patron of Mrs. Mor
row, for twentystwo years.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
This subject is now agitating this com
munity, and we are glad to see a dispasis
tion on the part of our citizens to establish
a boys school here of the highest charac
ter. It is true our own individual prefers
ence is to educate the boys and girls to
gether to a great extent, but the public be
ing of a different opinion, we, of course,
yield, and go io—heart and soul—for tho
best kind of a boys’ sohool. The fact is,
these little ptn-hook schools scattered all
over town, although good in their way when
nothing better oan be had, must be absorb
ed by large, systematic institutions of learn
ing, which are entirely independent of lit
tle, petty, individual influences and capri
ces. They cost too much in tho first phoo,
in the next cannot be conducted upon any
judicious, general system. Each school Ims
a system, or rather lack of system,of its o»vn.
Each teacher has a choice of text books,
and probably a preference among his pa
trons and pupils; and none of these petty
schools have pupils enough to make a good
classification of them. It reminds ono of a
-report thtit a rather dull boy made to us
dot longsibce. In reply to our interroga
tory as to bow he got along in school, he
said : “I am doing bully; got a good credit
mark in my spellin’ class to-day ; stood
head all day.” We asked him who was in
his class ? he said : “Me and George ;
but George, he’s got the measles, and
couldn’t come to school.” This is about a
fair sample of the little fence-corner schools
which wo have in Griffin, and it is high
time our people waked up to the impor
tance of co-operation. Teaobers should bo
placed above and independent of individual
capriee ; and children should be brought
together in such masses as to stimulate a
proper spirit ot emulation. Co-operation
is the life of progress; for example witness
tho trades unions. Printers combine and
control and regulate their own interests,
nimost independent of publishers ; mechan
ics of all kinds in the largo cities, comhino
and control their own w.-.ges. They also
establish savings banks and similar instis
tutions, by which they accumulate and con
trol large capitol, build each other homes,
educate their children at a small expense,
and accomplish vast good in numerous
ways.
Is it possible that the good citizens ol the
flourishing little city of Griffin nnd vicin
ity, who have hundreds of boys and girls
to educate, cannot combine and work to
gether for the common good ? Os course
we can, and wo are happy to announce
that a movement is now going on which we
believe will culminate in the establishment
of the right kind of a school.
The first groat obstacle in the way, is
suitable buildings ; these are indispensible.
The next point is to avoid sectarianism ;
this is more difficult. The natural tenden*
cy of our people is toward the humbuggery
of priestcraft. We are firm believers in
church organizations, and in their proper
sphere they work incalculable good; but
when brought to bear on a general system
ol education they are a blight.
In the matter of buildings, our city aus
thoritios have before them a liberal propos
sition which, it is understood, a majority
of them are in favor of, to-wit: The friends
of a first class high school for boys are to
mnke up as large a subscription as possible
from private citizens ot the town and ooun
ty and elsewhere, and whatever amount
is thus raised the city will subscribe the
same amount. Already a subscription list
of several thousand has been made up, and
we hope our citizens will not stop under
ten thousand dollars. Let us make no half
way matter of it. Let the buildings cost
at least $20,000. Let them have all the
improvements which the experience of this
country and Europocan boast. There will
be no difficulty about getting the best of
teachers if we start right. To avoid sectas
rianism, the school should be unuer the
control of a Board of Trustees made up of
men of all denominations of religion, and a
proper number that belong to no church
organization.
If the project should be successfully car
ried out, we could then eduoate our boys
thoroughly at home ; pay teaohers larger
salaries than any of them now get, and re
duce our own tuition bills more than one
half.
We have only time to merely glanee at
the subject to day, but shall pursue it furs
ther iu future numbers ot the paper. Means
whilo wo hope our City Council will lose no
time in placing upon the city records a
resolution of theebnraoter alluded to above.
We know at least one thousand reasons for
their doing so, and none why they should
not.
The above comments are not intended as
a reflection upon the management ot our
numerous little schools, bnt merely as a
condemnation of the system. These teach
ers do the best they can; they are Well ed»
uoated, faithful, industrious, but the fault
is purely in the system. These same teaoh
ers pieced in one or two combination sohoolo
would do vastly better.

SCHOOL IS OUT.
This is the cry among the ehildren all
over the oountry. Vacation has come, and
the children think they have got the “dead
wood” on the teachers. Many of them
have an idea that school teachers don’t
like vacation, but would be glad to keep
their pupils imprisoned all the year around ;
never dreaming that the poor teacher is as
glad to “break jail” as they are.
And now, the children in the country
goeth for birds’ nests and bulliccs, blackber
ries, roasting ears, ooons and rabbits. The
town children for base ball and marbles,
with various other mysterious pleasures ;
while, ever and anon, the ruder boys will
meet at their favorite haunts and practice
their “cussin” accomplishments. All hands
will “go in wnshia’ ” every day, till their
little legs are as blue as indigo. The teaoh
ers will tako vacation easy, visit their broth
er and sister wiseacres, talk over their va
ried and profound experiences, aud thank
the good Lord that no misebiovous urohin
orosses their pathway every minute to wor
ry and annoy them. Meanwhile, the afore
said urchins’ lacerated extremities are rap
idly healing up, and becoming as tough ns
sole leather, preparatory tor the next cam
paign.
Enjoy your vacations, pedagogue and ped
agoguesses. Go it, little urohins ; you are
to be the Statesmen of tho next generation.
But, meanwhile, during the vacations, what
are poor mammas to do ? llow tho chil
dren romp ; how the girls soil their clothes,
and the boys toar their trowsers ; wliat a
noise and confusion they all make. llow
poor manunu’s hoad aches, to be sure ;
how she wishes school would open again.
Tako the hickory, mamma, and tan their
jackets ; feed them fewer goodies, and have
fewer colics ; mako them work a little,
and play a good deal, and every good chanco
you have, hear them read or spell a little.

11. N. Ells. —This clever man, who is
made the right way of the dirt in every re
spect, advertises Ice in this issue. It has
been reported through this section that
Mr. Ells packs his loe for shipment on the
morning trains in tho evening, which is not
true ; it is packed in the morning half an
hour before the train leaves. Well, every
body that knows Ells is aware that he does
business as it shuold be—fairly and square
ly-
gjgy “Laring, ” who never has
been out of town, says Griffin is the great
est place in the world, and Woodruff’s
Hall the greatest place in it, because in the
short space of four days it exhibited Alf
Burnett, the inimitable ; Mrs. Murray’s
School, the incomparable, and the greet
Crocodils show. We think so, too.
Cotton Blooms. —Our highly respected
and esteemed friend, Mr. Solomon W.
Bloodworth, invited us to look at his “town
crop” yesterday morning. He exhibited
numerous cotton 'blooms, as well as the
most forward and best cultivate'! cotton
that we have seen this year. Mr. B. is
looked upon as an old man, and, ho may be
old in years, but not in his ways. His lit
tle farm is a perfect model It abounds in
conveniences and comforts for his excel
lent family, and in such a retreat we de
sire to pass our declining years. The
dwelling, the kitohen, the garden, the sta
bles, lots, and outbuildings are built with a
viow to convenience—and if this family are
not comfortable, wo would bo pleased to
know what is lacking. Mr. Bloodworth’s
garden is splendid ; and if his fifteen chil
dren were at home, it would afford suffi
cient vegetables to supply them all bounti -
fully. We were shown gr ipe vines—the
“Mustang,” of Texas— qm year’s growth,
with several punches of grapes ; and those
two years’ old wore bearing as thick a’s the
fruit can stand. We measured a radilish
that wasrtwelve inches in circumference.—
In fuot, everything that comes under the
influence of the builder of this temple of
comfort thrives and prospers.
Mrs. Murray's Entertainment. —This
affair, which came off as advertised, on Fri
day nigkt last, proved a great success. The
house was crowded, and the varied perform
ances of the young Misses composing Mrs.
Murray’s School, were gone through with
iti a manner highly creditable to both
teacher and pupils. We were particularly
pleased with the manner in which Prof.
Schoeller’s original Cantata was executed,
especially the part performed by the young
lady who acted the part of teacher. She
did this with such a naive grace and nat
uralness, as to win the applause of nil. The
historical and classical tableau wero also
very fine ; and tho musio by Joo Loewons
stoin’s Amatonr Opera Orchestra, or, as
named by Prof. Sehoeller “The Settlement
Band,” can’t be beat this side tho Boston
Jubilee.
Mrs. Murray has labored under many
disadvantages In organizing and establish
ing her sohool. She now has it on a fine
basis, and this last exhibition of the ability
and skill of herself and associate teaohers
must satisfy all of the great superiority of
this institution of learning.
Commencement. —The exeroisea at the
College are progressing with much interest.
We dropped iu yesterday morning, and
were highly entertained by the recitations
and other performances of tho juvenile de
partment. Little Hardy Cunningham was
about the best orator we heard. We were
particularly pleased with the fine perform
ance of Mrs. Nilos’ vocal music class. When
we left, n grammar class, of about twenty
children, were passing an exccllout exami
nation under Prof. Niles.
We will endeavor in our next paper to
five a general outline of all the exercises.—
'lie weather is very propitious ; tho atmos
phere bulmy and seasonable.
Exercises tooiiight, to-morrow night, and
Thursday night will be interesting, and, no
(Joubt, the spacious hall of the College will
be orowded.
Mrs. Burnette. —We regret that this
fashionable milliner, after a brief stay of
two or three months, has returned to Atlan
ta. While here she mado a host of friends
by her kind, accommodating and winning
manners, and did a fine trade, but a vacua
cay in the large Atlanta houso, of which
her Griffin house was n branch, made it
necessary for her return to that point, to
take the suj erintendenoo of ono branch of
that establishment. We wish her great
surcess and happiness, and whenever she
desires to give Griffin another trial, wo
promise her a good patronage.

suggest that tho aforesaid correspondent

ing a speciality, and will do the work for
the customary fees. Wo suppose tho par
ties will havo no objection.
A Good Tiiino. —Ono Joseph Johnson, an
industrious and intelligent diirkcy, has
gathered up the straggling bunds around
tho country, and orginized them into an
effective working squad ; and is now mov
ing about from tarui to farm, clearing out
such as arc in need of his squad. Joseph
does good work, and his squud has been of
vast assistance to many of our farmers.—
This beats prowling about after “prog,”
and we commend the squad to all who need
their services.
Solitary and Alonb.—We noticed in
the Brick Warehouse last Saturday, one
solitary bag jof cotton—the remnant, possi
bly, of some careful farmer’s crop. It
looked lonesome. If there is any cotton
left in the country, wo oan assure our friends
that joss Bloodworth has any quantity of
storago room lor it.
A Surfeit of Sweetness. —After the
grand affair on Friday night, when every
body had breathed an atmosphere of music
for several hours, an<t,returned to their re
spootivo homes, the Griffin Brass Band took
a survey of the town, serenading their
friends until neqr day. Somo time after
midnight, when we were snoring away at
the rate of fifteen knots an hour, the band
reached the home of one branch of the Star
family, sod gave us a most elegant treat in
the musical line. We mixed it with our
dreams and floated away upon elyeian
