A cheerful view of the effects of the

Sale Day, Speech Making, Klc.
Last Tuesday was the biggest June
sale day McDonough has seeu iu a long
while. There were no sales, but all
kinds of farm work being well up,
numbers of people came in to mingle
with each other, hear the speaking, at
teud commencement exercises, etc.
Hon. Alec Atkinson was promptly
on haud according to announcement,
aud spoke to a full house. He begun
by denouncing in no unmistekable
t. rms the erroneous report that he was
a Populist, making a lively address,
ringing and democratic to the core.
Mr. Atkinson handsomely sustained
his reputation as one of the best stump
speakers of the State, and he bas many
friends in this sec ion who will give him
their warm supporc.
Notwithstanding the excellent ad
dress of Editor Richardsou at McDon
ough Institute during the morning, he
was again called upon iu the afternoon,
and delivered a most excellent con
servative democratic speech, which was
heartily endorsed by “those in the orig
inal faith.”
We repeat, Tuesday was a big day

McOONOITUH INSTITUTES.
Commencement Exercises, Large At
tendance, Delightful Occasion.
Last Tuesday night closed .he com
mencement exercises of McDonough
Institute for the spring term, 1894.
A large number of visitors were in
attendance, aud that the occasion was
one of the most delightful ever wit
nessed in McDonough is the unani
rnous verdict.
It is safe to say everybody enjoyed
themselves from beginning to end.
The sermon preached by Rev. Mr.
Daves Sunday was an able aud elo
quent discourse, aud the large crowd
that turned out to hear him could uot
all find entrance in the church.
At 10 o’clock Monday morning an
interesting program was rendered, con
sisting of select speeches, recitations,
music, etc., and demonstrated the com
plete training of the children.
Then followed an enjoyable enter
taiument Monday night, the occasion,
closing Tuesday uight with a big con
cert, which was decidedly appropriate
and well rendered iu all its parts.
The literary address of Hon. F. 11.
Richardson, the brilliant editor of the
Atlanta Journal, Tuesday morning, was
the pronounced feature of the occasion.
His theme was education, divided into
three branches, literary, religious and
political ; aud for sound thought, pret
ty oratory aud pure excellence we do
not hesitate to pronounce it one of the
fiuest ever delivered from the Institute
stage. Mr. Richardson thoroughly de
lighted the large audience who greeted
him, handsomely sustaining his posi
tion as one of Georgia’s leading public
men. He captured McDonough as a
loyal friend.
Iu closiug this brief report, The
Weekly feels it a public duty, in be
half of our community, to tender thanks
to Miss Tippora Harrell and her elfi
cient assistants for the perfect manner
in which they are conducting McDou
ough Institute. The closing com
mencement exercises were highly satis
factory to patrons aud friends, and the
unanimous re election of the same fac
ulty was a graceful recognition of ap
preciation.
To sum up: McDonough Institute
commencement for 1894 was a gratify
ing success. Lmg may it live to do
good.
