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. Judge Thos. Swint, of Newnan, was among the sovereign suffragists of Se noia on Tuesday. Prof. P. D.

MONEY 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 last Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock by Miss Blanche Brown, at her hospitable I am prepared to negotiate loans on improved real estate at a total commission of 11 per cent, with interest at 8 per cent, payable once a year, to- wit: ot December i st. L. M. FARMER. Newnan, Ga. 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. “Kneel at no Human Shrine”—Jessie Ligon. “The Women of Mumble Head’ — Fannie Walthall. . “The Sleeping Sentinel —Clifford Lyndon. “The Sioux Chief’s Daughter”—Ma non Steed. “Bernardo Del Carpio ---Alice Estep.

"The Intelligence of the People the Security of the Nation”—Nat Cochran. Music, (song; “Scotch Lassie Jean”— Misses Estep, Ligon, Steed, Cochran, 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. “Friendship of School-girls”—Clif ford Lyndon. “Incentives to Study”—Maggie Bar- field.
