noia Sentinel.
On Friday evening next our Presby

will be applied to the purchase of lights
for the new Presbyterian church.

Meriwether Vindicator.

this city, at 11 A. M., Tuesday.
Mr. M. G. Keith has made a recent
addition to his livery equipment in the
shape of a handsome omnibus, and dur
ing the summer will make daily trips to
Pearl Spring Park. The vehicle will
seat twelve or fifteen persons and is ad-
mirably designed for picnic excursions,
fishing parties, etc. It was built by the
Newnan Wagon Company, and is a
creditable specimen of the work now
being turned out by that establishment.
As will be observed by reference to
the announcement which appears else
where in this paper, the Newnan Driv
ing Park will be formally opened to
the public on Wednesday afternoon,
July 4th, and the programme present
ed will undoubtedly attract a large
crowd. Special arrangements have
been made to accommodate the ladies,
and they are cordially invited to at
tend. In addition to the trotting
races there will be a bicycle race and
a foot race, with a purse of $5 for the
xvinner in each race. Read the an

ing his short stay here made many
friends.—Senoia Sentinel.
Mrs. J. C. Thompson, who accom
panied her husband to Hot Springs,
A rk a few weeks since, returned home
Dsr'’Monday. Mr. Thompson s fast
regaining his health and strength, and
will remain a month or so longer.
A committee of the Governor’s
Horse Guards came down last Satur
day, prospecting for a suitable rendez
vous for the annual encampment of
that gallant troop. The gentlemen
composing the committee were taken
in hand by the officers of Pearl Spring
Park Association and given a drive
over the Park grounds, which they
seemed to regard as being in every way
suited to the purposes in view, and
will doubtless make a report to this ef
fect. The company will be in camp
about ten days, commencing July 10th.
We hope they will come.
On the 14th inst., at the residence of
Mi*. A. F. Simmons in LaGrange, Rev.
R. R. McKay officiating, Mr. J. D.
Boon was married to Miss Jeannie Mer-
rell, of this city. The groom is a well-
known book agent, having recently can
vassed our city for the sale of the
“Child’s Bible.” The bride is one of
Newnau’s most amiable and estimable
young ladies, and the unexpected an
nouncement of her marriage created a
flutter of excitement among her friends.
The bridal couple left on Friday last
for a brief visit to the home of the
groom in North Carolina.
Brilliant Commencement Exercises of
the City Public Schools.
The commencement exercises of our
City Schools were inaugurated on j
Sunday last with a sermon from Rev. j
.T. B. Hunnicutt, at 4 o’clock P. >i.
Arcade Hall was crowded to hear the
eminent divine, who chose as his text
Phil. iii. 13, 14: “Forgetting those
tilings which are behind and reaching
forth unto those things which are be-1
fore, 1 press toward the mark for the i
prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus.” The sermon was one in j
which duty to ourselves, to our neigh-1
bors and to our God was an ever-present, j
pressing obligation. We should not j
permit ourselves to sir listlessly and
meditate on the good that we had ac
complished, but should ever be on the
lookout to see what we could do; should
not fold our hands and say we have
done much, but should “press forward
for the prize.” The race of life, unlike
other contests, is one in which the
prize can be obtained by every one—
from the least to the greatest. Do not
aim to lead your fellows and become
discouraged because another outruns
you; but use your God-given talents
and trust to the Lord for results. A
general would never gain renown on
the field of battle unsupported by a
valiant rank and file; a leader among
men could effect no reform, unassoci
ated by an intelligent Christian follow
ing. Mr. Hunnicutt’s sermon, of one
hour’s duration, was full of good
thoughts, encouraging words, and will
bear its rnede of fruit in due season.
On Monday evening the hall was
again crowded to witness and enjoy the
entertainment gotten up by the Pri
mary Department. The “babies” did
well, exceedingly well. They looked
nice and sweet in their gay costumes,
and fond parents who were present lis
tened to their little voices with pleas
ure and attention. They do say that
Newnan babies-are sweeter than any
body else’s babies, and Monday night
demonstrated its truth. In after years
we may look for something great from
them.
The little folks, who have been un
der the preceptive management of Mrs.
W. P. Nimmons aud Miss Coi*a Kellar
since the session opened, scored
a signal success and no mistake.
“Gay and Happy,” the animating open
ing chorus, was heartily encored by the
immense audience. The evolutions
were unusually pleasing and natural,
and the children looked lovely in their
robes of white and wreathes of flowers.
The “Greeting” of Joe Arnall, our lit
tle Demosthenes, brought down the
house, especially the concluding lines :
“Here’s a double health to the Public School
Board,
And a three times three to L. H. Ford.”
“Mother Goose” then came sailing in
in all her Napoleonic glory, (the dis
tinction of being mother to the greatest
number of children.) Her progeny
swarmed from the tremendous “Old
Shoe,” (a Goliath of its kind,) which
occupied the centre of the stage. The
lads and lassies tossed dolls, spun tops,
cracked whips, rocked cradles, rode
horses, jumped over candlesticks, quar
reled,-made love, jumped out of a mam
moth pie, nearly four feet in diame
ter, etc. The irate “Old Mother” rolled
her eyes in frenzy, tore her hair, and
listened for a moment to this Bedlam;
saw “Young Hopeful” strutting about
in his papa’s beaver and frock-tailed
wedding coat; another, padded with
her largest pillows to represent “Old
King Cole,” while his fiddlers three
made night hideous with discord; then
rising in her might, (and the might of
the mightier switch,) she whipped them
all around and sent them to bed, and
order once more i*eigned in Goosedom.
The “Bouquet” was an inspiration
fi’om Flora herself. Each child repre
sented a flower, her wreath and bouquet
corresponding. Graceful evolutions
accompanied the poetical sentiments,
and a sprightly march concluded this
unique feature.
“Little Housekeepers” came next
with their cunning head-gear and' tiny
brooms. They swept, dusted, set tables,
cleared them, singing merrily all the
while, as all housekeepers should do
to lighten their labor. How those Lilli
putian women did brandish their
brooms!
The “United Workmen” formed a
doughty clique. With aprons and im
plements they marched in with all the
pomp and circumstance of “Young
America.” They baked, brewed, made
shoes, taught school, pulled teeth,
flourished saws, swung hatchets, and
O, me, if that wasn’t the jolliest black
smith! How he did laugh (a la George
Broom) before he could lift his hammer!
Work will never hurt him. And that
lawyer, sprawled in his easy chair,
wheeling around so complacently, while
all the world was working around him!
How did he find energy to say, “Well,
the half of them are working for me,
anyway.”
Miss Sallie Mattox was sweet and
persuasive enough to make the gentle
men eschew forever “the vile, vile
weed.”
The “Rainbow” flitted upon the
stage, made its perfect arch, then silent
ly glided away, but not from memory,
for, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
“Not fit to be kissed” could never be
said, surely, of the fair little debutante,
Neva Carmichael, though she firmly-
believed such a fearful change was ef
fected by “Tobacco.”
“Busy Housewives,”—ah, homes will
still be miracles of neatness if these
busy little “Midgets” evolute into as
busy housekeepers.
Miss Dora Hornsby- told us “All about
a Bonnet,” and that, you know, is the
history of mankind in a nutshell. Her’s
was a fine face, a good selection and well
rendered.
The “Motion Songs” were x*eplete
with humor and gi*ace. How they
daneed in glee, “dropping the handker-
clxief,” playing “Thimble,” “Puss in
the Corner,” etc.
Luther Fuller concluded the enter
tainment by a very creditable “Good
Night.” Three cheers for the little
master, and the little folks in general.
Mrs. R. II. Hardaway and others are
entitled to the thanks of the faculty
for timely assistance in the fixtures and
ornaments.
dressed by various prominent charac
ters. Troops of gaily dressed girls then
strewed the conquering way with flow
ers, inciting prettily an appropriate
national hymn. Mr. Clifford Turner,
as Captain, gallantly reviewed his
troops, reflecting credit upon his tutor
and honor upon himself.
Prof. Pendergrast has opened a new
field of ambition and interest for boys;
one which elicits their warmest admir
ation and secures, at the same time,
the most effective discipline.
J. M. HIGH,
. Tlie Regulator and Controller of
LOW PRICES,
The Grammar School entertainment
on Tuesday evening opened with a i
spirited “Hunting Chorus.” The mel
low horns, now near, now far, were ar
tistically imitated.
“Don’t Leave us Out” was boldly-
recited by some candidates for their
country’s future honors. Well done,
boys; self-respect is commendable.
“Johnnie Schmoker”—“all tie vay
from old Shermany”—provoked a per
fect fusilade of laughter.
“The House that Jack built;”—com
plaisant Jack; with what easy assur
ance he addressed that pretty, blue-
eyed lass, and with what vigor she
chased the little fellow clear aci-oss the
stage with a broom.
“A Country School.” Pedagogue
and pupils were of the most primitive
type. We will not soon forget “You’d
scarce expect one of my age.”
“Little Grandma,” knitting and dis
pensing time-honored advice, gratis;
teasing little urchins, all bent on their
own gratification.
“Alphabetical Roundelay*,” was in
troduced by a little Venus in short
skirts. She flitted here and there; led
out her corps beautifully; while poor
old “And-So-forth” hobbled bravely
on, comically imitating their many ev
olutions. An “S. A. on a Boy” will be
long, long remembei’ed as a marked
triumph in orthography.
The “Surprise Party” combined the
serious, the childlike and the.pleasing,
and contained some excellent acting.
The “Milkmaid” bounded on the
stage, swinging her new tin pail. Ah,
“Marion,” that was all a joke upon the
part of “Edward”; the fortune of your
face was sufficient. How independently
she flirted off the stage, singing “No
body asked you, tra-la-la.”
“Little ^Esthetes’’— charming little
aesthetes, from dainty little head to
dainty little feet. Antique, peach-blow
gowns, and such darling little caps,
downy fans, Japanese reticules, tiny
bouquets, and inevitable sunflower
wands. A wealth of growing plants
enhanced the loveliness of childhood,
and undoubtedly gratified the super
lative taste of this “rosebud cluster of
aesthetes.”
“Auld Lang Syne !” Prim, Quaker-
like old ladies; dark robes; spotless
kerchiefs, ei'ossed on bosom ; hair
combed down smooth, done up in small
knot on top of the head; both hands
meekly folded, while the right held a
small cup. At the close of each ten
der verse of “Auld Lang Syne” they
each drank the health of the other.
Finally, clasping their trembling hands
they quavered out, “Gie us a hand o’
thine, my friend”; then, with exalted
step and raised eyes, they vanished,
leaving us to wish such rosy cheeks and
bright eyes would characterize our
old age.
Mrs. Robinson and Miss Connie
Hartsfield may congratulate them
selves upon the decided success of the
entertainment given by the pupils of
this department.
The entertainment by the High School
Department, on Wednesday evening,
opened with brilliant scenic effect. A
central throne was surrounded by two
chairs of state, garlanded most tastily.
It was spanned overhead by an artistic
arch, draped profusely, while natural
growth made an effective back-ground.
“Fun and Frolic,” black-eyed, mis
chievous sprites, were marvels of bril
liant color; ornaments of tiny tinkling
bells, and an ingenious adaptation, of
their entire wardrobe, expression, and
action to a fine conception of their
cunning role. An anchorite would have
admired the lovely lassies in crimson,
blue, green, pink, buff and white tarl-
ton, spangled and starred till it looked
like a mesh of moonbeams and fire-flies.
The “Fairy Queen” and her twin sov
ereign the “May Queen,” were con
spicuous for their excellent execution
and appropriate costumes. Each seem
ed to have had the happy assignment
that best suited his or her individual
ability. Miss Anderson surpassed her
self in the character assumed; the most
fastidious could have effected no favor
able change even in the minutse. The
“May Pole” was prettily twined by the
“Merry Picnickers,” someof the hand
somest girls in school.
The “Unfortunate Mr. Brown” elici
ted shouts of applause. MissWeir Lyn
don treads the boards with ease and
grace, supported by an excellent ama
teur corps. “Pretty Miss Kate’ must
not die of a broken heart. But “Mr.
Brown”wasthe culmination of assumed
awkwardness and embarrassment; his
pantomime was perfection.
“Lost Charlie” was omitted on ac
count of the illness of one of the chief
actors.
The “National Play” made our
hearts swell with pnde. The scene
was laid North, during the Revolution
of ’76. Mr. Sil Orr, as Washington, was
enthusiastically selected as commander-
in-chief, having been patriotically ad
The Junior exercises began with an
instrumental sui<> by Miss Ella Good-
rum, followed by an original oration
by Mr. Hull Pendergrast. This was of
unusual* merit, scholarly in composition
and admirably rendered. Such a senti
ment as it embodied would revolution
ize society and restore loveliness to
fallen human nature if observed as a
principle.
Miss Essie Black, in “A Bird’s-eye
View oi'tlie Present Day,” graphically
and spiritedly presented the varied
claims set forth by many to catch the
notice of society. Beauty, wealth,
rank, all could find a welcome ; but the
truest, most certain passport is culture.
Miss Black was taken suddenly ill, just-
before the exercises opened, and her
essay was read by Miss Sallie Simril,
being rendered in a manner that com
pelled the interest and attention of her
audience.
Miss Fannie Hartsfield, in the recita
tion “Jennie McNeil’s Ride,” sustained
her well-earned reputation as one of
our most talented amateur elocution
ists,
The “Senior Farewell,” by Miss Kate
Andrews, was classical, pathetic, and
replete with tender sentiment. It was
a relief to hear a natural, unstrained
intonation, and all in keeping with her
modest, refined bearing.
“The Curse of Regulus,” by Mr.
Raymond Pinson, was delivered with a
grace and fluency which marks the born
orator, and held the closest attention of
his audience from first to last.
Miss Ruby Ray, who had been select
ed to make the “Junior Response,”
charmed every one with her address.
Seldom have we listened to sentiments
more tenderly or simply expressed.
The conspicuous absence of effort only
served to enhance the beauty of the
composition and it will prove one of
the pleasantest memories of the occa
sion.
The literary address by Col. H. M.
Reid, of Carrollton, would worthily
employ a more facile pen than ours.
He demonstrated in a masterly man
ner the benefits of general education,
and evidenced a familiarity with his
subject that was commendable. We
could wish that our space would admit
of a more comprehensive synopsis, and
hope that we may yet be able to lay
the entire speech before our readers.
Little Jim Good ruin was the “Puck”
of the evening, and never failed to ex
cite the risiblesof his audience when he
appeared on the stage. He is inimita
ble in his fun-provoking roles and each
appearance was a signal for a fresh
burst of merriment.
RACES!
At tlie Newnan Driving Park,
WEDNESDAY P. M., JULY 4,
Commencing at 2 O’clock.
The graduation of the Senior class
last night concluded the week’s exer
cises, and “Flora,” seeming to reserve
the best for the last, graced the stage
beautifully for the sweet girl graduates.
Mechanics’ Band poured forth its most
jubilant strains, and no audience was
ever in more pleasing or tractable
mood.
The “Salutatory,” by Miss-Kate An
drews, was rendered with characteristic
grace and energy. From the opening
to the closing sentence the cultured
mind left its impress with telling effect.
Such “ringing key-notes” should be
heard far and near.
The “Valedictory” by Miss Weir
Lyndon, of Palmetto, came fully up to
the expectations of her friends and
claimed the unbroken attention of her
audience. Quick, ingenious* ambitious,
her discussion of the “Woman of the
Nineteenth Century” evidenced her
estimation of this ideal character and
distinguished her as the earnest, elo
quent champion of true womanhood.,
The oration by Rev. W. E. Vaughn,
of Shannon, Miss., came- next on the
programme, and was a most admirable
and interesting address. He is a polish
ed speaker, and handled, his subject;in
a manner that bespoke a high order of
ability.
Prof. Ford, in delivering the diplomas,
remarked to the young ladies that it
afforded him pleasure to state in the
presence of their parents and friends
that they had been faithful to their
duties, and had won the love and con
fidence of every teacher; that if they
designed pursuing their studies farther,
the foundation was well laid; if not,
their acquirements were sufficient al
ready to enable them to fill any posi
tion to which they might be called,
with credit and honor.
The public schools were declared
closed for the term, and the audience
was dismissed with a benediction by
Rev. Dr. Stacy.
