K. P.” too having become infected with the prevailing "epidemic,” throw* him* •elf upon your indulgence and bege commiseration. Up to this lime Damon has made one emong the but points in rela te educational matters that has ever been made here. First in or der came the closing exercises of Owen Kelson Institute, which gave great credit to teachers and pupils. The mMter work of tbe principal, Prof. Lowrey woe teen in it all, and u "tribute to whom tribute Is due” is a bi’olc maxim, all give this faithfal teacher praise for earnest and successful work. When the young make earnest endeavors to discharge every obligation, then they ought to be encouraged, and the-meed of praise sboold ever be theirs This thought has been sug gested to tbe writer by tbe person' al example of a young lady pupil of tbe Owen Kelson Institute, whose praise is in the month of ererybody —Mis* Alice Lowrey. This young lady stood n most critical examina tion in her studies, and though only 17 years oi age, proved a pro ficiency in advanoed Latin studies thstwu truly commendable, and she proved also that woman’s mind can grasp successfully tbe intrioate problems of mathematics, for she with credit passed through a search, lug examination in nil the higher mathematics, u well as in her Eng* lish studies. This example will pretty well prove tbe nature of tbe work done in Owen Kelson Insti tute, On last Sundsy llev. M. M. Worn- bolt, of Alabama, delivered tbo commencement sermon ot the col lege here. It wse a most able pro duction, and enlisted to its close tbe entire attention of the large audience who beard him. Mr. Wombolt is s forcible speaker, and adorns in a remarkable manner ail the gifts of the most gifted minis- On to-dsy, Tuesday, Col. C. Shorter, of Eufaula, delivered the anniveraary address before tbe pba and Eutcrpean societies of tbe college. Col. Shorter was in troduced by the Hon. J. K. Hud- son of your city, in a most happy manner, whereupon he proceeded deliver sn address that was most beautiful in its|uniqueness.” The gilterf orator took as tbe basis hie remarks: "Education tbe basis of all national prosperity,” and unfolded to tbe view of all present tbe diflerent stages of thought connected with education. clearly demonstrated that there was a right as well as a wrong way education, and that individuals take in n portion of the commence ment. They left their hearts be hind them, aad yon may be sore that they will soon return, for when they visit us they are doubly wel come. The exercises of the South Cto. Male and Female College so for has been replete with interest, and next week we will give yon n foil ac- count of tbo exercises, as np to this writing they ere not over. To morrow Hon. W. M.

Fine reins last day or no and the clod hoppers ere all happy. We ere all emilee, tbe future looks bright, and we hear tha prospects for onr railroad to your city are very promising. How oan we help from feeling good to think of having a railroad, and it flrom Amerlous. We were in Lumpkin to-day, and could bear nothing bnt railroad, and how nice it would be to go over SCHLEY cotnrnr. IBSeUT?

Ste phens ns an exponent of Georgia’• glory, elicited loud applause. His kindly notice to Journalism as being a great foetor In tbe progress of education ayd civilization won for tbe speaker encomiums of those who see much la a well regulated press that tends to the good of the country. He was scathing in his remarks to the "pretty ones” of so ciety—tbe dude$ and dudinee, end if there were any of that kind pres- ent they must have "wilted.” His tribute to woman was a most beau- tifotone. The general verdict is, that take it alt in all, It was one of tbe beat speeches ever delivered liere. We saw in attendance, from •breed, upon tbe exerelses tbe at- tractive and popular M'se Willie Dealer, of (Juiimsn, Mias Baines, of your city, Robe. Morris, of George town, and others who served to fill the boose to it* foliest capacity. On last 8unday and Monday we Pbesto.v, June 9.—Editor Re- cobdee:—On Friday, tbe 6tb inst Prof. Js C. Lay-field, of the Oak Hill Academy, bad hieexamination. I did dot get there in time to hear all tbe ftitle ones examined, bnt learned tbsi they did exceedingly well. I arrived at the academy after ten; Just in time to hear the examination of Archie Goss In mathematics, who stood a thorough snd rigid examination. Tbe next class was Susie Beaty and Miss MUtie King, who worked and ex- plained every problem given them, and showed tbit they thoroughly knew what they were doing. Mias King being farther advanoed than tha rest ot her clsae, was exanined further, and I will aay that I never saw any one do better or show a more complete training in school. But tbe best thing was the little class, consisting of little Sallie Nicholson, daughter of J. B. Nich olson, one of our worthy County Commissioners, and Ads Little. )obn, the former between 8 and 9 .rears old and latter a little older, who were examined in addition and eubtraotion. Each one ot them would have tbs sums set down and added op almost by tbe time they were called out, and coaid readily answer any question that was asked them in regard to it. I don't re member ever to have seen as young children so for advanced; and, in fact, every one who was there says they never saw as good sn exsmi nation taking it ail together, and it reflects great credit on tbe teach er, Mr. Lay-field, who is no doubt one of tbe very best preceptors in tbe state, and by far the best we have had in this country in a great num ber of years. Some of bis pupils are for advanced in latln, and they •bow that they know it so far as they are taught. I wish every com. munity was blessed with such s teacher. He controls bis school by kindness, and every one both young and old love, respect and obey him. I will now say something about tbo dinner. At IS o’clock exercises closed for dinner, and you may be certain that they bad it in g/cat abundance and variety. I was afraid that Jesse Stallings would kill himself. He would eat snd eat until he was full, and then shook himself and eat again. Jesse is a noble eater. After dinner exer cises were resumed. Little Sallie Parker got tbe prize as speaker of the little ones. Johnnie Spann se cured tho prize for tbe bestde- claimer. Ole Stapleton took tbe prize for the best read composition. It seems though that the three Judges appointed to sward tbe prizes could not decide about tbe compositions between Ola Staple- ton, Cora Dixon and Mlttie King, but they- drew straws and the prize fell to Ola Stapleton. I had nearly forgotten to mention little Bobby Nicholson who made a splendid to Americas io tbe morning, onr trading^md return to Lumpkin In the evening,end that next season we would only have to haul our guano but a few miles and all hands ship eur cotton to Ameriout. are ready end willing to do onr part. Americas ought to feel proud of her standing in Stewart oonnty, for ahe stands bead and sbonldera above any of onr other markets. Mr. Jet Ornby’s hones was barn, ed on Friday evening last. Caught from stove. We learn that it was insured, but don’t know what amount Everthing saved except stove. Mr. James Jenkins, of Webster, was thrown from his wagon one day lest week, his head striking rook and breaking his skull. There is but little or ao hope of hie re covery now, bat we Ml hope be will soon make n change for tbe better. Messrs. Watt and MUier, of Lumpkin, were In tbe vilie last Wednesday, in the Interest of the railroad, and with anooess. Mr. H. T. Davenport, of Ameri one, passed through the viUe last Tuesday and left word for the mayor that he would return and spend tbs night with us. We pro pared supper, but no Thomas. We hope the next time he gets in mile of our bouse he will stop snd send ns word ha Is not coming. Tbo wheat fields are full of doves and A. J. B. is wanted in tbe vilie. Mayob. MERIT MOULTRIE. Moultme, June 8.—Mr. James Whitehurst, who has lately been car ried before tbe United States Court for illegally dealing in tobacco, bad his store at Ava, Berrien county burned Tuesday* night. It was probably burglarized previous to tbe tiring, and the villains burnt it to cover their tracks. J. B. Norman, State Senator, and Fleut Gay, Ordinary, will attend the State Democratic Convention at Atlanta. The wool dip, I urn told, is short er than usual Prices range from 18 to 33 cents. The weather was splendid for tbe oat harvesting, but rains have now set in and it seems we are to enjoy quite a wet spell. While you ol tbe city are get ting up walking matches, we are about to indulge in a regular old time shooting match. A f 10 stcoi, in five quarters is tbe prize, best shot to seleot his oholee quarter, and so on to tbe fith who reoeives the hide and tallow wblob Is calls’) tbe “5th quarter.” Shots 95 cents a piece. Common muzzle-loading rifles at 75 yards tube used. Form erlv the lead which was fired into the target was awarded to tbe 6th man, bnt it iaso plentiful now that no one wants it. Business is dull; money and pro visions still scarce. So it is, *t Ellaville, June 9th, 1884. Pnrsnant to a call of the Demo cratic Executive Committee, the citizens met at tbe oourt bouse Sat urday to sleet delegates to the state convention and other business. The meeting was organized by elect ing MsJ. E. 8. Baldwin chairman and 0. T. Walker secretary. Col. C. B. Hudson and Dr. John K. Cheney were elected as delegates and Col. James R.
