impress upon the minds of the young,
and the. people generally, the uncer
tainty of earthly riches, the waste of
time in their pursuit, and, if gained,
perchance, in the end they would real
ize that they had made a most misera
ble failure. And the only safe invest
ment was to lay up for themselves treas
ures in heaven, and how this should be
done, and the great importance of do
ing it. The sermon had the close at
tention of the large audience, and all
seemed to-enjoy it. He preached an
other very interesting sermon to a full
house at night.
Monday was occupied in the exami
nation (if the Primary department by
Miss Sallie Long and her assistant, Miss
Nettie Methvin.
Tuesday was devoted to the examina
tion of the more advanced classes by
Prof. Pollock. These examinations
were thorough, and proved to the en
tire satisfaction of tne large audience
each day that the teachers had not been
unmindful of the great trust committed
to their charge. We have it from va
rious sources that this examination, as
a whole, far surpasses any that has
preceded it, which is a worthy compli
ment to t lie principal and his assistants.
Entertainments were given Monday
night by the primary classes, and Tues
day night by the larger pupils, both of
wliich were very interesting, as was
well attested by full houses each night.
Wednesday morning was occupied in
speeches by the young gentlemen and
recitations by the young ladies, the
whole being interspersed with de
delightful music by Miss Belle Brant-
equipment thorough and
sing two stanzas of that inspiring hymn,
“Jesus lover of my soul,” in which
many joined with lumpy effect, after
which Hon. Alvan T). Freeman, of
Newnan, was introduced and delivered
an address, which, for good sense, and
the practical purposes of life to tlie
young, was all that could be desired,
lie said he could not make a literary
address, and we thought that it was
well that he did not, for the address he
did make was just suited to the occa
sion, and from which, we trust, much
good will be derived.
The exercises closed Wednesday night
with a musical concert, vocal and in
strumental, which was a rare treat, and
very ‘appropriate for the close of the
term.
We feel at a loss for words to express
our feelings, and the general sentiment
of the many patrons and friends to
wards Prof. Pollock, his faithful assist
ants, and Miss Brantly, who by their
assiduous labors have made this school
a success, as has been abundantly evi
denced by this most popular examina
tion of all. The prospects of this
school were never more promising than
now. It is based upon a solid founda
tion, and a large increase of patronage
is expected. The average attendance
during the last session has been one
hundred, surpassing any average here
tofore. Its influence and popularity
are reaching other portions of the State,
and it is reasonable to suppose that the
next session will reach higher attain
ments than the one just closed. It is
not definitely known whether the
present corps of teachers will serve for
the next term, but our opinion is the
board of education will show good
judgment in retaining them, if it be
possible to do so.
During the examination we had a
very pleasant call from Mr. “Ardenj”
(not Enoch.) and should it be his mis
fortune to be chosen as one of our leg
islative standard-bearers, we shall cer
tainly vote for him solid.
We also had the pleasure of a frater
nal grip from Hon. J. 15. Goodwyn.
What a blessing to possess a genial
spirit.
We were glad to see Capt. James
Graham on the streets to-day—the
first time in five weeks. Other parties,
whose illness has been mentioned here
tofore, are improving.
How often it is while descending the
other side of the hill of life, the least
infraction of Nature’s law brines the
sure penalty of suffering—which was
our misfortune last Saturday, thereby
S reventing our attendance upon the
edication services of Glen Grove
church, at Parker’s mill, last Sabbath.
Just a pleasant hand-shake with Dr.
A. C. North, of Newnan, to-day.

Mr. Editor:—Senoia has just scored
another brilliant success in the
closing exercises of her schools—
Senoia High School and Excelsior High
School. Both schools have been well
patronized this year, and have done
some noble work. Teachers, pupils
and parents may well be proud of the
way in which the pupils acquitted
themselves. Never in the history of
the town have we been visited by love
lier young ladie»than during the past
T-z-\-n t— few weeks. Among those that visited
LOR FARMERS Senoia recently are: Miss Susie Stew-
art, a charming young lady of Griffin;
Misses Carrie aiid Mamie* Taylor, two
of Haralson’s fairest daughters: Misses
Gregg and Milner, popular young la
dies of Concord, Ga.; Miss Ida Yar
brough, a fascinating young lady from
Spalaing county; Misses Lena and Sal-
lie McGhee, of Meriwether county;
Miss Gibbs, Monroe, Ga., and Miss
Merritt, of Atlanta.
The latest social event in our little
city was an elegaut luncheon given

Exercises of Palmetto High
School.
Mr. Editor:—Palmetto always has
good schools and competent teachers,
and the present year has been no ex
ception to the rule. Commencement
exercises have just closed at our High
School, of which Prof. Thomas II.
Meacham is principal. No one who at
tended could have lulled to be pleased
and interested. The examination of
classes occupied Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week. The rather rigid ex
aminations were borne very creditably
by the pupils, though they did not an
swer every question put to them, as is
sometimes the ease when weeks have
been consumed beforehand, preparing
for such exercises. The students had
not been drilled or posted in any way,
except that it was understood front the
beginning that they were to be exam
ined on what they bad gone over dur
ing the year. Rev. S. B. Cousins, of
Lutherville, preached the commence
ment sermon on Sunday morning, at
the M. E. church, to a large and atten
tive congregation.
Monday was little folks’ day. In the
forenoon they read original composi
tions. In the evening they spoke and
recited selections. From the salutato
ry bv Jake Ballard to the valedictory
by Hugh Lyndon, every boy and girl
did well. The compositions were not
specially distinguished for wit, wisdom
or talent, but they were childlike and
natural. No higher praise-can be giv
en to the literary productions of chil
dren from 10 to 13 years of age. At
the close of the evening’s entertain
ment, Lon Walt hali, as spokesman for
the young people, asked Rev. G. W.
Colquitt to say something to them.
He responded in a short, appropri
ate and touching address to the chil
dren. which was highly appreciated by
them as well as bv the audience.
The address by Col. George A. Car
ter, of Grantville, occupied the fore
noon session, Tuesday. This was a
literary treat and much enjoyed by all.
It is to be hoped that the good advice
and kindly admonition so pleasantly
given, to remember the value of little
tilings and the impossibility of recall
ing lost opportunities, will not be for
gotten by the young people. In fact,
even we who are older would do well
to bear them in mind. Tuesday morn
ing the older girls and boys entertain
ed the audience with the following
programme:
“The ’Closing .Scene”—Maggie Bar
field.
“Next Morning”—Emmie Smith.
“Twice One is One”—Lucy Moss.

Mr. Meacham.
Where all did well, special comment
on any is unnecessary.
Wednesday morning the boys’ de
bating society contested the following
question:
Iiesolced, That foreign immigration
to America should be encouraged.
Howard Johnson, Willie Floyd,
Claude Smith, Willie Walthall and Nat
Cochran represented the affirmative,
and Henry Beckman, Ralph Cochran,
Willie Barfield and Edgar Johnson, the
negative side of the question. The
subject was ably discussed front every
point of viewj but no decision was
made. The following young ladies
read original essays:
“Self-Reliance”—Emmie Smith.
“Study of History”—Lucy Moss.
