Isuakia, Sole Agent, aprl2 6m Americns, (la. 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 IFOmTTS. 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. Personal Paragraphs, Miss Msry Troutman left this week on a visit to friends aifd'rela. j lives in Rome, Ga. J j g i j.

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.

There was an explosion ofa boil er nt a brickyard near Albany, Thursday morning, by wlitoh three men were killed outright nnd two others badly scalded. Albany has a walking mutch next Monday, nnd among the contest ants is Henry Smaw, an Americns boy, whose legs will bo very apt to carry him in a lap or two ahead. The Rough and Ready(col.)base- ball club of Albany have accepted a challenge from the Americus Rangcrs(col.)and will play a match game in this city on the 4 th of July. Messrs. J. W. & R.

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. We are in receipt of a handsome invitation to attend the exercises of the “Class of '84" nt the Hold- villc (8. C.)

James Fbickek A- Buo. At an intimation that the Ameri cus base hall club would play the Artesian City Club a match game the Albany boys sent a challenge to that effect, inviting the Ameri cus boys down. They received n reply In which the Americus nine 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 tbc Americus nine. The Arlesians respectfully decline, but are ready to meet them here in accordance with their owu suggestion.—Alba ny News. 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. Dr. J. B.
