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 Mrs. J. B.

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.

Her sisters, Misses May and Lallie, have gone to Birmingham, to which place their parents will _ soon move from Paris, Texas.

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 Minnie Peddy, of Newnan, is the guest of the Misses Peddy.—La- Grange Reporter. 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.
