Oak crave Academy
' This school, conducted by Cnpt.
G. M. Patterson, is located three
and a half miles southeast of
Americns, and last Friday night
was the close of the term. Having
heard much of this school, we ac
cepted an invitation to witness the
exhibition in the evening. Arriv-1
ing at the house, we found it well;
filled, a large number of ladies and
gentlemen from Americus being in
attendance. The exercises opened
with a most neatly worded and
well delivered salutatory by Miss
Bessie Allen, which would have
done honor to any college gradu
ate. Then came music and decla
mations and recitations, all well
rendered and appropriate to the oc
casion. While all were good, and
reflected credit upon both teacher
and pupils, the delivery of Masters
Furlow, Gatewood and Allen was
exceptionally fine. These exercises
were concluded by a valedictory
address by Miss Sheppard, beauti
ful in composition and effectively
delivered. Wo should bo pleased,
to compliment some others, but
having no programme at hand wo
cannot remember names. At the
close of literary ,'xeroises the stage
was cleared, and then came a num
ber of small plays and dramatic
recitatious. The little plays were
exceedingly well rendered, and the
fact that some of the parents took
part in them was proof that the
people of that neighborhood take a
lively interest in the school. We
had no idea that there was so much
latent dramatic talent in our
fricndsGatewood, Joiner and Hern
don, who acted as if they were at
home on the stage. So well pleased
were we with tho plays that wo
had not "A Drop Too Much,” and
could have relished “A Little More
Cider." The rendition of “The
Maniac” by little Annie Allen was
a wonderful performance for one so
young. The interest of the enter-
tainment was greatly heightened by
Prof. Hawkins’ orchestra and the
Americus Brass Band. And speak
ing of music, wo mutt compliment
Miss Lena Ford, music instructor

Have you heard anybody say,
“Is It hot enough for you?”
The next mcetiug of The Club
will be at Mr. C. A. Pricker’s next
Friday night.

of the Academy, for the proficiency
shown by her pupils upon tho piano,
for their time was excellent and
showed they had been conscicnti-
ously taught.
And now, having spoken of the
exhibition, let us say a few words
about tlie school, its teacher and
its patrons. The building is one
of the best in Sumter county, out
side of Americus. About two years
ago Capt. Patterson took charge
of the school, and to day it ranks
as one ol the best in the countrv,
ts attendance having run up to
about sixty. He is a teacher of
the good old school, who loves his
profession and conscientiously en
deavors to do his duly liy all bis
pupils, and thus wins their respect
and love. The patrons of the
school embrace a number of the
most intelligent, progressive nnd
prosperous farmers in the country,
and they take an interest and pride
in their school, as parents should,
and the consequence is that thoy
have a school of which to he proud.

Prof, (.lurk’s High School.
The oral examination and closing
exercises of 1‘rof. Clark's High
School, in this city, took place last
Friday. We were sorry not to have
been able to attend, hut we learn
from those present that the exami
nations showed that Proiessor had
done Ids full duty to those entrust
ed to his charge, and the pupils
gave evidence of a rapid advance
ment in theii studies. At the close of
tbc exercises prizes forsuperiorpen
manship were awarded to Messrs. W.
C. Carter and John McUairah and
Misses Fannie Uatewood und Jen
nie Buchanan, the prizes being pre
sented in a neat speech by I’rol. L.
H. Carter, who stated that the pen
manship ol all the scholars was so
uniformly good that it was with
difficulty the committee could make
the awards. Judge Warreu, of the
Republican, Mien closed the tiro
cccdings with a short, pithy and
pointed address. Frof. Clark has
so pleased the patrons of his school
that a strong effort will be made to
retain him for another year.
If we hadn’t promised to say
nothing about Judge Warren’s per
sonal appearance we should have
copied the following from the A1
bauy News:
Tboy say Kit Warren iR getting
very “tonelious” about his beauty,
and he wants tbc Uco-gia press to
let up on his good looks. He has
abandoned matrimonial aspirations
and gone to teaching the children
Latin.

of Misses Carrie L. Buchanan, A.lice

At an intimation that the Ameri

the Albany boys sent a challenge
to that effect, inviting the Ameri

refuse to come to Albany, but sug
gest if our lioys were spoiling for
a game, and if they would come to
Americus, they would lie met by

Successful Pencil Growing.
To successfully combat the opin
ion that peach culture is not profit
able in this section, one lias only
to make a visit to the orchard of
Messrs, Sneed & Rodgers four
miles northwest of this place in Sum
ter county.
Twenty-eight months ago they
set seventy acres in trees, putting
one hundred trees to the aore,mak*
ing a total of seven thousand trees,
mostly ot the Early Alexander and
Rives varieties. About- ten days
or .two weeks ago they began to
ship their first fruit, and up to the
present have shipped perhaps 1,300
crates of one third ofa bushel each,
and we do not feel that we could be
accused of exaggeration were we to
say that they could have easily
shipped from 5,000 to 6,000 crates,
had they been disposed. In com
pany with Mr. D. G. Avera, wo visi
ted the orchard on Tuesday last,
and wc fully eontess we were in no
condition to believe that trees could
be so heavily fruited. Trees from
4 to 5 feet high just literally bro
ken down wi’li the most luscious
looking fruit, and this too alter
they had been shipping for some
days Smitbvillo Enterprise.
