range Female College Commence
ment.
any favored ones will understand
fortunate it is to be a guest of La
nge Female College during one of
delightful commencements. It re-
inds one forcibly of the princely pri-
ftte entertainment by which l’rof. M.
Kellogg, of revered memory, made
own and beloved our own College
inpie. Hen the same cordiality wel-
medone; the same generous ivdmis-
>n into the privileges of the family
lie; the freedom of the house, the
muds, the hall. Our cheery, humor
ous host, Rev. R. W. Smith, his gifted
lady, his efficient corps of sons and
their charming helpmeets, guide this
missive machinery of domestic, social
apd collegiate demands without a per
ceptible “jar.”
Rising, terrace after terrace, boldly
,bove the surface of the surrounding
untry, “beautiful for situation,” the
|ofty site could have no more fitting
Umax than a progressive literary insti-
tion, and a genial, Christian home
our daughters. It is a modern rc-
etion of Grecian Parnassus, and
i the listening ear the air is vocal with
ie classic rippling of the Castilian
unt.
undreds attest that the institution
•cored its grandest success at the last
commencement. The large class of
twenty-four young ladies read with re
markable expression, coupled often
^ritli finished graces. Our hearts kin
dled with pride when our Newnan girls,
lliss Corinno Siniril and Miss Gladys
(Jimnis, and Miss Nutie Ingram of Tu
la, won round after round of well-
rited applnuse. By the by, it would
a graceful compliment to them were
lie Newnan Library Association to re-
[uest a second reading of those striking
essays.
Unfortunately for us, Miss Maggie
ean’s racy, spirited essay was render
ed several hours before our arrival. She
[VJidly sustained her enviable reputation
| iin composition and rhetorics.
/ Misses Marsh, Robortson, Claire
Smith, Minnie Smith and Emma Wilson
Chgrmed us by evident originality of
thought and unassuming rendition. All
Relighted us, but some names escaped
our memory; indeed, when all were so
highly interesting, it seems invidious to
make a distinction.
The art exhibition of two hundred
d thirty-six pictures might well em-
4oy the pen of one gifted in descrip-
The amount and character of the
ork is simply wouderful, and a few
ore such successes will establish a no-
table School of Art among the “red
Id hills of Georgia.”
' As to music, the college stands second
to none. It is both rare and gratifying
for amateurs to exhibit such excellence
Jin vocal culture, especially.
Mrs. Alwyn Smith, (who wins before
she sings a note,) her pupils, Misses
Crane, Robertson, Johnson, Evans and
others, whose names, not songs, we
have forgotten, would win especial no
tice, even in the most cultivated musi
cal circles. “Dear Heart,” by Miss
Evans, made a lasting impression upon
ps. She possesses the rare combination
of power and sweetness. Music-vend
ers assert that a more cultured style of
music is furnished to LaGrange Female
College thaa to any other institution in
the State.
The male quartette, “I Love the Deep
Blue Sea/’ made sailors of us all, for
the nonce.
The piano quartette, “Wedding
March,” was so realistic that we invol-
uitarily looked back to catch a glimpse
ol the bonnie bride and gallant groom.
The cantata of "Belshazzar,” if
worthily noticed, would, itself, fill
pdumn. No expense was spared to se
cure costumes, Babylonish, Jewish, and
|/Persian, and we could easily credit the
■, on dif that their expenses exceeded
Vl50. The rental of “Belshazzar’s’
(crown and sceptre alone was $15. The
(cantata opens with an effective mis
erere from the captive Jews in Baby
lon. “Like reeds shaken by the winds,
they prostrated themselves till roused
by Zerubbabel’s soul-stirring chant,
“The Lord bringeth back the captivity
pi his people.” The infectious hope
evokes from them a jubilate, ‘"The voice
of the bridegroom, the voice of the
sbride, ‘We’ll hear in -our own native
(land.’ ”
Cries Zerubbabel, “Heard ye the
king’s most mad decree? He com
inands us all to join in wicked revelry.”
Daniel, stately, cries, “Babylon shall
all.”
Zerubbabel cries, “Strike for home
find country, God and right.”
In the second act Belshazzar’s court
holds a preparatory feast to Bel, deter
mining, though the dead are strewn
ripon the neighboring plains,
“The coming feast shall all surpnss
In grandeur and glory.”
1} Actr HI.—An angel glides through
I! the Persian host, lying asleep on theli
I, arms, and whispers to Cyrus, “Belshaz
zar shall fall; God has anointed the
^k’ing.” At an alarm the hosts spring
I to their feet; Zerubbabel is led in pris-
! oner. Convinces Cyrus he is allied in
spirit with him. Reiterates, “God
sends thee to crush proud Babylon to
i earth. To-morrow night the king drinks
[deep with a thousand lords. At mid-
liight hour the gates unbarred will be.
"Strike!” Cyrus cries, “Stay the God-
ubbabel, returning, is captured by the
Babylonians; is about to be slain as a
traitor, when a Persian band gallantly
rescues him, engaging in an exciting
fencing encounter.
Act V.— Brilliantly lighted festal
hall; Magi chant nround a unique altar;
another near is crowded with vessels
from the Sacred Temple. King, Queen
and court glisten in gold, jewels, purple
robes and crowns. The sacred vessels
are distributed first to the royal fam
ily, then to the guests; dancing girls
trip on their “many twinkling feet”
among the joyous revellers, filling
their dainty goblets. The mirth is
maddening; toasts to king, queen and
to Baal sound high above the musical
measures of music, when, mid thunder
and lightning, the dread characters
burned and glowed upon the wall!
Prone fell Belshazenr and the court,
shrieking, “Save us, O Banl!” The
Magi came, consulted the wisdom of
their ancient lore, and, failing to inter
pret it, were driven forth in fury by
Belshazzar. Daniel, being summoned,
refused his proffered gifts, but fearless
ly interprets the characters.
"Mcne '. God hath numbered thy king
dom and finished it.”
Finished it!” wailed the prostrate
court.
“Tekcll Thou art weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting!”
Found wanting!” echoed all the pal
lid fiattorers.
Peres] Thy kingdom is divided and
given to the Medes and Persians!”
“Given to the Modes and Persians!”
shrieked the agonized Babylonians.
(Chorus of invisible Jews rejoiceB at
the judgment of God.)
Belshazzar flames out in defiance:
Fill tho beakers to the brim; joyous
be till break of day!”
Persians rush in mid clash of arms,
and a grand battle hymn, “Slay Bel
shazzar; seize his gorgeous crown,”
and the curtain goes down on Cyrus,
kneeling to receive the glittering dia
dem, while a grand jubilate to him who
protects the right thrills and exalts the
privileged audience.
Wo regretted very much missing the
address by Wm. S. AVitham, Esq., of
Anniston, Ala. It was sparkling with
wit and replete with humor.
Tho address of Rev. J. AV. Lee, D. D.,
on “Grady; editor, orator, and man,”
added new laurels to this distinguished
divine’s increasing fame.
A generous number of medals and
music-certificates wore awarded, by far

IN MEMORY OF MRS. S. R. HALL.
i
Resolutions of the Baptist Sunday
School
The hand of Death has been laid
heavily upon us. A mother in Israel
has fallen; a teacher and guide; an ex
emplar in faith and piety. Mrs. Sarah
Rebecca Hal!, wife of our beloved pas
tor, died May 20tb, 1890, after an illness
of two weeks. The life so recently
closed is still before us. Our sister
lived each day in view of eternity, and
she wasever ready for the summons
home. Her constant desire was to see
the “King in His beahty” ahd to fall
adoringlygt Bis feet. J Yet she was no
religious dreamer. Her faith was man
ifested by her works. Always present
in her seat at the hour of worship,
health permitted; always with her Sun
day-school class at the appointed time
always ready to, co operate with the
members of the church in working for
the Master; always cheering and sus
taining thepastofin the - midst of his
arduous fcnd responsible labors; always
aud everywhere exhibiting a lofty faith
and an exemplary Christian character,
How much we miss that sweet, quiet,
unobtrusive face, “Is more than tongue
can tell.” An aching void is in our
hearts, as we think of the loved sister
who walks no mote with us. Yet we
know that our Heavenly Father “doeth
all things Well,” We cannot penetrate
the inner sanctuary of HU purposes.
AVe can only biwr in humble and trust
ful submission to His will, knowing that
whatsoever He doee will be the’ best
for His people in the end. Therefore
Itesolced, That we commend the life
and example of our sister to the teach
ers and scholars of this Sunday-school
thanking God that such a life, an “epis
tle written in our hearts,” was spent
with us.
Iiesolved, That we extend our sym
pathy and condolence to the bereaved
husband and children, the depth of
whose affliction hone other can fully
know.
Iiesolved, That this memorial be re
corded oh the minute book of the Sun
day-school, and that a copy be foHash
ed the family, and also to Thk Herald
and ADVEifrtHER for publication.

forth in such holiness as When we see
her lying in the cold.embnu.o of death.
How we long for the warm clasp of the
hand that never grew weary in laboring
for our comfort, and the touch of the
lips which were never parted save to
encourago or to bless! AVe miss the
sweet companionship; the earth is dark;
but the Celestial City seoms so near and
shines with an added radiance!
Mrs. Lizzie Leigh Allen was born in
Coweta county, April 18th, 1849, and
died at her home, near Lodi, May 20th,
1800. Her sorrowing husband, the eight
motherless children, as well as tho
mourning parents, brothers and sisters,
can weft attest that her forty-one years
marked the limit of a well-spent life.
To each neighbor sho was a friend and
a sister—one in whom they could find
ready sympathy in sorrow, as well as in
joy; one who proved faithful alike in
adversity and prosperity. They loved
her as a conscientious, honest woman,
who knew her duty and never failed to
do it. Truly, it could have been said of
her, “Sho looketh well to the ways ol
ler household and oateth not the bread
of Idleness.” Her busy hands and net ivo
brain were full of labor for her family,
and of good deeds to others. Life to
her meant too much for any idle repin
ing*. Hers was one of those quiet, use
ful, holy lives, spent principally within
the confines of her home and bounded
by the wishes and aspirations of hus
band and children—lives of which tho
great busy world knows but little, but
which will stand out pre-eminent in
“that great day” for purity of purpose
and devotion to duty.
She was converted in early life, uni
ted witli the Methodist church, and
lived in accordance with its ordinances,
an humble, consistent Christian. Such
a life is evidence enough of a triumph
ant death. She was ready for the sum
mons, and when the cold waters surged
close to her feet she was willing to go.
God grant that we, too, may bo ready
when our time shall come!
Tho father arid mother mourn tho
loss of their eldest born. The new tics
which bound her to husband and chil
dren never weakened her devotion to
them. She was always tho little girl
who long years before ennm to bright
en their household. The first broken
link in the family circlo shells a gloom
over a happy home; but, thank God!
thero will bo a reunion!
*The blow falls hoavily on the devoted
hhsbund, who, after years of married
life, is left nlone. May lie find comfort
In the only source from which it can
come! The children, some of them too
young to renlize their loss, have a price
less legacy in the life and example of
their mother. May the Friend who
was her Btny and defense, pour the
balm of consolution into their tender
hearts, draw them to Himself,’ and
make them a reunited family in heaven 1

family and bears away the wife and

seems suddenly extinguished; the 'one

Chlldren’s Day at Turin.
“S. H. H.” reported for your columns
the “Children’s Day” occasion by the
Presbyterian and Baptist churches at
Turin, but no one has thought to as
sume the office of reporting the “Chil
dren’s Day” at the Methodist church,
and so, lest some might think worse of
our Methodist folk than is just, and as
no one else has done so, I presume that
far.
The third Sunday in May is the day
set apart by the General Conference as

connection with the pastor’s regular
Sabbath appointment, und thereby se
cure his presence and assistance, it was
deferred to the fourth Bunday.
Under the direction of Mrs. J. R.
Cole, the efficient organist, several
songs were rendered, two of them being
sung by tho children alone. They sang
them well and entertainingly.
The pastor, Rev. ltobt. F. Martyn,
delivered a sermon to the children from
John, xviii: 37—the central thought
being: “As our Great Exemplar was
absorbed with the thought of accom
plishing the purpose of His coming into
the world, so we, beginning in child
hood, should seek the work we are fit
