Senoia.
Mr. Editor:—Owing to business pres
sure last week we could not write up
onr usual contribution. We regret it
very much as it'requires out report of
the Senoia High School to appear
rather late.
The commencement sermon of the
closing exercises was preached on Sun
day, the 3d Jure, by Rev. A. M. Wil
liams. of Columbus, Ga. The day was
pleasant and the house was filled by
tlie many patrons and friends of this
deservedly popular institution. The
discourse was based mainly upon the
first-clause of the second verse of the
101st Psalm: “I will behave myself
wisely in a perfect way”-—making be
havior largely his theme. The discourse
had the close attention of his large
audience and was interspersed with
many good thoughts.
The morning and afternoon of Mon
day were devoted to examination of
the classes in the different branches of
study, which was thorough and gave
general satisfaction. The Monday ev
ening programme was an excellent ar
rangement for the little folks, who ac
quitted themselves very nicely.
Tuesday morning the salutatory was
read in English by Miss Nora Caldwell;
second in Latin by Tommie Summer,
and third iw Greek by Frank Brown.
The time was then occupied until II :20
o’clock, in declamation, essays and
music by the Junior classes; and it is
hardly necessary to say that all pupils
acquitted themselves handsomely. At
11:30 o’clock Col. I’. S. Willcoxon, of
Newnan, was introduced and delivered
one of the most interesting and practi
cal literary addresses that we have lis
tened to in years. His subject, as stat
ed in the outset, was “State Bride.” He
referred to Massachusetts and Virginia
(had not time to mention others) how
they honored and commemorated their
great men and noted events in their
history, and made the application that
Georgia was far behind these and other
States in paying that tribute to her no
ble sons and daughters, whose lives
and labors have been devoted to ele
vating her to that high and honored
position she now occupies among her
sister States. Georgia should, and
Newnan no doubt does, feel justly
proud of this, another one of her bril
liant, rising sons. We were forcibly im
pressed with the innate good sense ex
hibited by the speaker. He knew just
a hcri to quit.
The exercises closed Tuesday night
with a aery interesting entertainment
by the school.
Taken asa whole, the exercises com
pared very favorably with any preced
ing ones.
From all we can learn, the trustees
and patrons are well pleased with Prof.
Brown and his charming daughter,
Miss Blanche, who has charge of tin-
primary department, Due notice will
be given of the opening of the fall ses
sion.
Miss Jennie Arnall, the very efficient
music teacher in tins school, goes to
Gainesville to take charge of a music
class in the female college in charge of
President VanHoose. This we consid
er a very high compliment to her 11m. -
ical talent.
Mrs. M. E. Haddin, of Kosciusko,
Miss., is visiting her uncle, Judge B. F.
Cock.
Mrs. M. H. Salter, of Leesburg, Ga.,
is visiting the family of Mr. -J. T. Jones.
Mrs. S. O. Smith and family visited
relatives and friends at McDonough
last-week.
Since our last, Mr. and Mrs. R. II.
Methvin lost their little son, Charlie.
They have our sympathies.
Capt. Jas. Graham and Mrs. L. P.
Barnes are reported as slowly improv
ing. Mr. W. F. Sibley improves slowly.

Mr. Editor:—Mr. Orbe Carmical,
from Atlanta, visited his parents here
last Sunday.
Misses Lou Camp and Minnie Moore,
two of our accomplished young ladies,
are now at home from school.
Messrs. Camp & Cureton shipped a
carload of grape baskets from here
this week.
The prospects for a melon crop are
very sorry, indeed.
Mr. J. T. Mayfield has the nicest
little farm of anybody. Why don’t
more of the farmers pattern after him.

that well. -
Bev. J. A. Parker delivered a most
entertaining discourse on last Sabbath.
His congregation was unusually large.
The new church is completed, and bet
ter accommodations will soon he offer
ed church-going people.
The oat crop In this section is splen
did. Cotton is taking a start to grow.
Mr. T. H. Gilbert died at his home
in Meriwether on Friday morning, 8th
inst., at 6 o’clock. Ilis death was very
unexpected to his friends, for he was
sick but a short while. His health
generally was broken, however, and his
constitution being exhausted, he was
in no condition to stand the nature of
his disease. Mr.Gilbert makes the fifth
one of Ins family who has died in the
past three years. His has been an ex
ceedingly unfortunate family, there
not being a day in ten months in which
some member of it was not sick in bed.
His remains were interred at the grave
yard near Mr. Bingham’s mill, on Sat
urday evening, at 3 o'clock. The body
was taken in charge by the Masons,
(after Dr. Cousins' words of consola
tion to the bereaved family.) and was
buried with Masonic honors. The
distressed ones have our sympathy,
but we would point them to Him, who
can and will comfort them in time of
need. Zubktus.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—Our people are antici
pating the coming of tlm cars from
Chattanooga, and hope that more and
better accommodations will lie afforded
to this section than has been shown in
the past. If this had been done years
ago the stockholders would not have
had to part with their stock at a mere
nominal sum. Such, however, is the
way of the world. Somebody must be
the gainer, while others lose."
The commencement exercises of
Prof. Pollock’s school were attended by
your Turin reporter and he had the
pleasure of meeting with a large num
ber of friends. He enjoyed an excel
lent sermon on the opening day, and
listened to fine and appropriate music,
led by Miss Belle Brantly, the organist
and musical instructor of the school.
Senoia is noted for her hospitality,
and "R. A. T.” acknowledges his obli-
gations for special courtesies to “Vin
cent” and his kind lady, who know just
how to make a guest feel at home. It
is understood that Prof. Pollock will
tender his resignation to the trustees
at tHeir next meeting, much to the re
gret of the patrons of the school.
The Helping Hand Society will give,
on the 29th inst., a supper of barbecued
meats, with other corresponding edi
bles The admission will be only 25
cents, t ome one and all, and feast on
the finest supper ever given in Turin.
The wood work on the Presbyterian
Church is nearing completion, and the
paint brush isalso being applied. Taken
altogether the building presents a very
ban dsom e ap pea ran ce.
Capt. J. D. Hunter is in ill luck again,
having lost another fine mule last week.
One of our merchants purchased a lot
of eggs last week, not dreaming of the
surprising bargain he was getting; for
soon lie heard the chirp of a young
chicken, and upon examination found
that his eggs were in an advanced
stage of incubation. By placing the
eggs in the warm sun lie soon had a lot
of tine young chicks. Some men seem
always to get the best end of a trade,
and such happened to our merchant in
his egg investment.
Humor whispers that in the near fu
ture several marriages will happen in
these parts.
Col. G. A. Carter, of Grantville, vis
ited Turin a few days since, just to
make himself familiar, and to see what
the people think of his platform. The
people want men that will not take a
long grip on the State, but will get
through with business and come home.
AVe have had nice rains and crops are
taking a fine start, although there are
a number of crops that are not worked
over the first time. Entirely too much
planted in cotton for the number of
farm hands in the country.
Dr. Gay caught up hist week, and the
boys say that the mumps could not do
much with him.
A subscription is being taken up to
purchase a bell for the Methodist
church at this place, and soon its sweet
chime will be heard inviting the peo
ple to the service of the Lord.
The dedication service of Glen Grove
church takes place next Sabbath. Sev
eral ministers will be present on that
occasion. R. A. T.

Sharpsburg.
Mr. Editor:—Prof. V. A.flam’s school
closed last night. He has spent two
weeks in reviewing and examining his
pupils, lie put up a prize lor the one
that stood the best examination. The
following is a list, with average stand
ing, of those pupils who ranked above
d:Y in the examination :
Miss Bessie Orr, 99?; Miss Mamie
Harrison, 98 55-93; Miss Mary Bohan
non, 98 1-10; Miss Katie Carmical, 95 11-
13; Miss I.ove Hanes, 96*; Miss Lizzie
Ilanes. 904; Miss Emma Ham s, 93 3-5;
Miss Beatrice Farmer, 95 1-5; Miss
Mary Carmical, 93 7-10; Miss Everett
Benton, 95|; Miss Corsie Farmer, 95J;
Mr. Oiic John Vance, 97»; Mr. John
David Xorris, 97*; Mr. Joseph Cole,
97 5-7; Mr. Paul Jack Pittman, 97 27-2.8;
Mr. George Parks, :>5.l; Mr. Boy Glass,
93; Mr. Walter Goodwyn, 954; Mr.
Willie B. Orr, Jr., 93 1-12; Mr. Jimmie
Cole 96*.
All the rest stood very good exami
nations. Some had stopped a few
weeks before the examination, and I
have not the record of the others. The
above will give the public an idea of
the standing of the entire school. In
stead of having an exhibition at night,
I’rof. Ham gave a lemonade party; the
girls brought the cake and some sugar,
tlie bovs brought the lemons, Prof.
Ilam the ice and the rest of tlm sugar.
The stage was nicely decorated with
llowers, and a large crowd was present.
After the children and young people
had enjoyed themselves to satiety in
playing, chatting, etc.. Prof. A. S.
Jones delivered an excellent address
in behalf of the school and teachers.
He also presented the prizes. Miss
Bessie Orr received the first prize, Miss
Mamie Harrison the second, and Mr.
Raymond Wynn one for spelling. Prof.
Ham then thanked the students for
their kindness and good behavior dur
ing the term, and the patrons for their
liberal patronage. The following ladies
were appointed to carve the cake and
to prepare and distribute the refresh
ments: Mrs. Flla Brown, Mrs. Come
Ham, Mrs. Smith Carmical. Mrs. Nar-
cissus Pittman. Mrs. Angelina Lump
kin and Mrs. Alice Jones. It goes
without saying that everybody was
bountifully 'served. The Sharpsburg
band furnished music for the occasion.
Prol. Ham and Mrs. Carmical are most
excellent teachers, and their pupils love
and esteem them highly.
Rev. .John J. Farmer, who has been
in the Baptist Theological Seminary at
Louisville, Ky., is spending a few weeks
here.
Mrs. J. J. North has been very ill
this week.
Mr. R. A. North, Sr., has about re

vast amount of money in jail fees in
misdemeanor cases. There are but few
parties that ever go to jail for misde
meanors. The bonds in such cases are
generally light, and somebody is al
ways willing and waiting to go on such
bonds, in order that they may get hands
to work. I don’t remember any mis
demeanor case in this section where
the party was sent to jail in default of
bond. It costs about as much to try a
case in the City Court as it does in the
Superior Court, and if there has ever
been a white man convicted in the City
Court, 1 can’t remember who it was or
when. I know a man who is now be
ing sued in the City Court, and who
lias no desire to go to Newnan. But
for the convenience of the lawyers men
are compelled to attend the City Court,
and pay more costs than they wouln
otherwise have to pay in the Justice
Courts. Then they are cut off from ap
pealing to the Superior Court. If the
City Court should err. the error can on
ly be corrected by carrying the case up
to the Supreme Court, and but few art-
able to do t hat. Consequently, justice
may be defeated. There is no Court so
perfect but that it may err sometimes.
Judge McClendon says there is so much
more litigation now than there was fifty
years ago. This seems a little strange
when we take into consideration that
there is not as much property now as
there was fifty years ago. It is true we
have the same number of acres of
land, but we have no slave property.
Land is worth less, because more of it
is worn out, and the farmers are all
broke and are growing poorer every
day, they say. 1 don’t think it is the
common people that causes the abun
dance ot litigation; for it is said that
the whole world is fast becoming
civilized, Christianized and lawyeriz-
ed. No. The fact is, there are
more lawyers than cases, and there
is where* the litigation comes in.
The great Lawgiver only gave ten
laws to govern mankind and their ac
tions, and 1 reckon he had about as
much sense as the General Assembly
of Georgia.
The City Court holds quarterly terms
and each week the per diem of tin-
jury amount-'to 8180. The cost of the
City Court for one year will amount to
82,000 or 82,500, not including the sala
ry of the Judge or what the Solicitor
may receive. All others courts are uni
form in practice, but the City Court is
not. If the City Court is to be for the
whole county, why not let its officers
be elected by the people? The Court
of Ordinary is a County Court and is of
vastly more importance than the C'L'
Court. That Court is elected by the
people, and it don’t take ,, lawyer G
make a good Ordinary, either. 1 reckon
the reason why these Courts have to be
called City Courts is t hat the eonV€ ntini;
which framed the Constitution of J8n
was composed of town gentlemen, sun
•hr to those who drafted the Cit;
Court bill of Newnan.
Some one has said that if the peopfi
want I he City Court abolished, let tin
Democratic voters at a primary elec
tion indorse on'their tickets for 01
against. This would not be fair, be
cause we have other good citizens win
do not belong to the Democratic parti
and their wishes ought to be consulted
and their rights respected. Let even
legal voter speak out and say whether*
lie wants the Court or not. This, >
think, would be right and satisfactory
Tit. heaviest tariff the people of Geor
gia have to bear is to keep up uselea
officers and their bureaus and courts.
