POET. W. T. DUMAS.
Prof. dV. T. Dumas, Georgia’s
poet, says:
I will cheerfully say that I regard
Gordon Institute as one of the best
equipped and most thorough schools
in the south. It is always particu
larly fortunate in its corps of instruc
tors, having had, I think, but two
presidents since its organization. It
is in every way superior to the old
institute of 1875 and 1876 when I
was a pupil of the school.
I shall always feel grateful to that
true mun, Cbae. E. LambdiD, for
the lessons in life aud books that
he taught me before he finished his
woi k here and entered upon his in
heritance in the life eternal.
Yours Truly,
William T. Dumas,

DR. W. A. CANDLER.
Dr. Warren A. Candler, president
of Emory College says:
There is no better training school
in the South than Gordon Institute.
It has set before itself a high ideal
of a school for secondary instruction,
and has wisely refused to sacrifice
this mission, as some high schools
have done, by an attempt to be a col
lege. Gordon Institute is the inveter
ate enemy of shoddly and sham.
With us at Emory all the presump
tions are in favor of a student who
comes to us from Prof. Pound aud
his colleagues
Tours Truly

Tell me not in mournful numbers
Thanksgiving day is all a dream
For the turkey’s gobble gobble
Tell’s of Xmas joys unseen.
The musicale of last Friday after
noon was quite enjoyable, in spite of
the cold weather, “Last Hope” as
played by Miss Alice Simontan was
particularly clear aud sweet.
The music pupils are all excite
ment over the fact that Prof, has of
fered a medal—not for the best per
former of one particular piece Com
mencement but for the one who
knows most about music by that
time.
The “Silver Bill” sinks into pale
insignificance—before the all impor
tant question; Who are you going
with?” We understand that one
Senior boy, at least, has an engage
ment. And by the bye, some of the
Senior boys are now writing their
notes in the following manner and I
assure you, ’tis quite the proper
style.
Dear M'ss:—l should appreciate
very much the pleasure of taking
you to the party” Yours etc.

I’m a li'Tle ahead of time, but the
fact is, we’ve commenced studying
chemistry and I undertook to make
an experiment and the thing busted.

GOV. NORTHEN.
Hon W. J. Northen, the governor
of Georgia, who was for m my years
a teacher says:
lam glad to know that you are
miking an industrious effart to bring
before the people of the Stato the ad
vantages of Gordon Institute. I had
the pleasure of attend'ng the com
mencement exercises of this school
a year ago, and was highly delight
ed with the exhibition. I have very
fully informed myself as to the char
acter of the institution and its effi
ciency. T he young men who go from
it to the different colleges in the
State take very high stand in their
classes, and the young men who are
prepared for business life have been
so far as I have been able to learn,
successful in their work. I look upon
the institution as a very prominent
actor for good in our educational
is'
Gees where chemistry is the beginn
ing of evil.
Our teacher said she didn’t want
us to spend Thanksgiving day froltc
ing and seeing how much turkey
we could eat, but think of the poor
heathen.—We did.—Just think how
dreadful it must be to be a heathen
and not have any holiday.
One of Miss Sallie’a second grade
“arithmetickers” bays he has been
dean thro’ addition, partition, sub
traction, abomination, creation, just
ification. hallucination, derivation,
creation, amputation and adoption.”
Of course what we were mostest
thanaful yesterday for, was a holiday.
For the benefit of the boys who
may be as fortunate as to get them,
we wish to say that the curious little
benbb ued boxes which some of the
art girls are painting aro for ties and
not for cigars as some of them seem
to think.
We were electrified to hear
that Prof, actually told a boy he
was studying too hard. Tnis is a
fact unprecedented in the annals of
Gordon Institute! We suppose
Prof, was afraid he might have to
get an extra teacher and establish a
kind of post graduate class before
the year was out.
One of the girls says she thinks
our “Society Deader” is going to
lead a society for the prevention
of study.
Oui French professor’s hair would
turn gray in a single night could he
see some of the tender notes written
in french, which some of his pupils
are sending “thick and fust.” The
one advantage of them being that no
power on earth could read them.
And this calls to mind what the old
uigger said: “A man do his courtin
in private saclusiou, more like a boy
go behind a barn to suck his orange,
hit taint cause he’s shame of hit,
but cause he wants hitall to his sef.
Wo hope that one of our little
Soph, boys has learned ere this that
however much school-girls enjoy be
ing chucked under the chin, ladies
of maturer years do not like it.
This particular little boy’ tried it on
l one of the ladies at his boarding place
and she made him dance a “High
land Fling.”
Citizen: (to school boy) “Look
here I heard Prof, had brain fever.
What do you reckon caused it?”
-School boy.” Yes: you see he was
trying to formulate a plan whereby
he could keep one pupil from Btudy-
interests.
Very truly, etc.

CONGRESSMAN CABANISS.
Hon. Thomas B. Cabauiss, mem
ber of Congress from the sixth Dis
trict of Georgia says:
I take pleasure in commending
Gordon Institute to the public as
one of the very l)9Bt schools of learn
ing iu this or any other state, with
in my knowledge.
It is located in a healthy, refined
and moral city, has a learned and
experienced corps of instructors, and
with the special features of physi
cal culture for girls, by coinpetea t
and skilled teachers, aud of military
training aud discipline by Lieut. A.
R. Piper, 2nd. Infantry, an aooon-
Three of our Fresh boys wore pro
moted to the sophomore class last
week. We extenn our congratulating.
Will someone please tell some
of our Fresh boys that tis not the
proper thing thing to wink at every
one whom they may chance to meet
in the hall. If you must wink go
wink at the side of a barn.
Narcissus, who prides himself on
his lovely hair and tall stiff collars
and “nice” appearance generally was
rather astonished at as sudden “de
luge” yesterday and was so arrayed
because bis exquisite hair was damp
and stringy and any thing but lovely
that he actually borrowed some curl
ing irons and had it crimped.
A boy and girl returned from
cbnrcb,
One bright star lit night,
He clasped her in his arms,
Tis lovers supreme delight.
But Oh! the promises he made,
Will constantly arise
Till they can read the titles clear,
To mansions in the skies.
But at last at horhotno they arri
ved
To their sad regret,
For they thought the pleasure they
had received
Could never again bo mot,
But when in the porch on a bench
they reclined,
To guard against surprise
Tiioy bid farewell to every fear,
And wiped their weeping oyes.
Oh! whit sweet words of love ho
spoke,
And kissed away till tears,
And how she trembled at the
thought
Lest u teacher should appear,
Their very soul’s were ablaze with
love,
They thought they could see
The laud of rest the saints delight
The heaven prepared for me.
The clock had struck the hour of
12,
And silence reigned surpreme,
Bat the teacher passed out the
front door,
The girl began to scream,
The boy over the bunisters went,
His Sunday pants did teur,
The precious blood poured freely
fourth,
So when the teacher heard her
scream.
Out of tho gate he did pass
Double q lick borne may say,
But I call it devilish fast.
JMM'. the ground arose,
above,
breadth, the
plished soldier and gentleman, it
affords great advantages to both
sexes, of acquiring a liberal, useful
practical solid education.
The success of its graduates m
tho various avocations of life furnish
livmg proofs of the truth of my as
serions.
May Gordon Institute long con
tinue to grow, prosper and send
forth useful women and men to ad
vance society, serve the state, and
make better mankind, is the wish
(f 1 Yours Very Truly,
T. B. Cabakiss.

height,
Of everlasting love.
But that was many weeks ago,
And I’ve no doubt that they.
Remember etill tho star lit night
That the boy on the grouad did lay,
And how the teacher ran in fright,
Will neer forgotten be
While down the stream of life they
glide,
To their eternity.
They are sorry now for their act
and Prof, thinks
In them he has a prize.
Ah! mo where ignorance is bliss
Tis fol’y to be wise.
Of their little game Prof, nothing
knows,
And bo their hearts are at rest
And not a wave of sorrow rolls
Across their peaceful breast.
Tho following recipe for curing
love I give by request:
15 oz of dislike, 1 lb of resolution,
2 oz of experience, 3 quarts of the
cooling water of consideration. Direc
tion: Set them over tho gentle fare
of love, sweeten with the sugar of
torgetfulness, skim with tho spoon
of melancholy, put iu the bottom of
your heart, cork it with a cork of
a clear conscieness; let it remain, and
you will quickly find ease and be res
tored to your senses again. These
items can bo hal of the apothecary
of understanding next door to reason
on prudsnt street, iu the Village of
contentment. Take when a spell
comes on.
Lost: One lock of hair which I
prized very highly and always wore
in my watch. It the finder will re
turn to Olis Bullock I will give to
him my old last years black derby
hat.
LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN-
One little navy green dog, cross
eye 1 and left hande.l, wearing a col
lar bearing the inscription: lam
Bill Chambers bull pup; whose bull
pup are you?
For Sale: One case of the old re
liable mustache sporters. For par
ticulars apply to the firm of Muip ey
and Liggin’s. The following are
testimonials on file: We have used
your mustache preparation for tne
last month and we were highly plea
sed with it! The results completely
satisfactory and now we have a lull
set. Yours Truly,
