Southern Female College.
On Sunday last, fit LaG range, the
forty-fifth annual commencement of
the Southern Female College was be
gun, Dr. Henry McDonald, of Atlanta,
preaching the sermon. During the
term just closed there were one
hundred and eighty-nine pupils in
attendance, more than half of whom
were, boarders.
Monday was Junior Day, and the
forenoon was spent by the members of
this class in discussing Tennyson and
the merit s of his poetical works. Among
those who took part in the exercises
were Misses Jessie Zellars and Jennie
Collinsworth, of Grantvillc, and Miss
Mattie Reid Robinson, of this city.
Miss Zellars read an essay on “Ten
nyson’s works, Poetic and Dramatic.
Miss Collinsworth read an essay on
“The Princess.”
Miss Robinson recited “The I wo
Voices.”
On Tuesday the Senior Class read
* their graduating essays, and as there
8 were twenty-four in the class, this ex
ercise occupied the best part of the day.
Misses Mattie Hardaway and Morn
Hall, of Newnan, were among those
who read in the forenoon, and their es
says were highly complimented.
“Young Heart’s ILappy Dream” was
the subject chosen by Miss Hardaway.
The heart of youth was, she thought,
the true home of joy and happiness. In
youth it is when “distance 1
chantmentto the view,” as we grow
older we become more critical, colder
and more calculating, more practical,
and want things near enough to see
them in a more realistic light.
Miss Hall had i beautiful subject in
‘The Desire of the Moth after the
Star,” and she treated it beautifully,
her reading being especially spirited
and energetic. The moth was likened
unto the seeker After truth, the soul
seeking its true divinity. Maidens, too
often, like the moth, are caught by the

At 11:30 o’clock Col. Paul S. Will
coxon, one of Newnan’s rising young
lawyers, was introduced to the large
audience by Prof. Brown. Col. Will
coxon captured the audience at once
and held them so until the end. He
chose for his theme “Georgia’s Pride,”
and we can say, truthfully, that it was
one of the best speeches we ever heard,
and every one present will join us in
1 lie same. It was simply grand, and
we wish every old soldier could have
heard it. Newnan should feel proud
of such a son.—Senoia. Sentinel. [New

Miss Pauline Witherspoon left La-
Grange yesterday, to make her home
in Atlanta. Her sisters, Misses May
and Lallie, have gone to Birmingham,

to the Junior Class. She took for her
subject “The Southern Girl,” of whom j
she herself is so fair a representative, j
and she made her indeed the “loveliest i
flower in the garden of humanity.” !
But her address was not all praise, and 1
being one of those of whom she was
speaking, she boldly criticised many
faults which, she was sure, no gallant
man would dare open hi* lips about. A
synopsis would rum the symmetry of
the address, and lack of space forbids
its reproduction here, much to our re
gret and the loss of our readers. The
Junior address, delivered by a young
lady, proved a most pleasing innova
tion, and that Miss Trimble sustained;
herself was fully evinced by the warm
praise bestowed on her effort, and tlie
hearty applause with which it was re
ceived.

Miss Jennie Arnall, who has had
charge of the music class of Senoia
High School during the past eighteen
months, has accepted the position of
principal of the music department of |
Gainesville College. Though the High
School regrets to lose her sendees, and ]
her patrons and friends regret to see
her leave our town, they are proud |
that she should be called to one of the i
highest musical positions in the State.
While this attests her merit as a teach- j
er, our community has show n full ap
preciation of her abilities as an accom
plished lady of high musical talent by [
giving her during the past session the,
largest music class which has ever been !
taught in Senoia. We commend her
to the people of Gainesville as in every
way worthy of their support, and wish
her unbounded success and pleasure in
her new home.—Senoia Sentinel.
