Next we were'entertained by the pu
pils of the A and B Grade, Primary,
nyho were examined In the various ele-i
mentary 'branches. The pleasant and
attractive method of teaching children
to read and spell by ihe chart, and im
pressing truth on their minds by con-i
crete examples and Illustrations, were
admirable features. To a person who
bad been trained to' read and spell in'
the orthodox manner,—!, e., the use of
the old “blue-back,]’—the inestimable
superiority of this method was fully ap
parent. The pupils i were required to’
read from the chart, recite, and giv<
many other interesting exhibitions o;
their progress. To interest the smallef,
children is a task thgt only a faithful
teacher can appreciate, but it is one foij
which Mrs. Nimmons seems peculiarly]
fitted. To see such small children so
well disciplined, so ' attentive, and so
ready with tbeir replies to questions, is
a rare treat. Mrs. Nimmons has taught
for a number, of years in Newnan, and
her-well earned reputation a|t a teach,
er is fully established.

aminations In elements-
hlch were highly inter
Jng throughout. The method of
.-aching geography by stating the lo-
1 ation of places on the maps and giving
acts connected frith the place was one
if the most pleasing exercises of the
veek. In this manner important facts
re associated in the minds of the ctail-
Iren with each place, and thus geog-
japhy and history go hand in hand,
i Miss Cora Keller graduated from Col-

Miss Estelle Dobbins was presented
'ith a handsome prize, which had been
f feted by Miss Keller for the besteopy-
' ook speoimen.,’ Prof. Ford presented
in a few well-chosen words, in which
e complimented the young miss for
te highest quality in a young lady—
eatness. ,
After the examinations were over a
irge audience assembled to listen to a
T-' 1 >w selected recitations from the differ-
y iffit grades. These were well received

THUR8DAY MORNING.
An immense crowd assembled at the
opera house yesterday morning to wit
ness the exercises of the Junior class.
An interesting programme had been
prepared for the occasion, consisting of
music, recitations, speeches, and an ad
dress by Hon. W. R. Hammond, of At
lanta. The exercises were opened with
prayer by Dr. W. F. Cook.
The music was furnished by Misses
Neila Lou Walton and Laulie Ray, two
of Newnan’s most charming young la
dies. It is needless to say that the mu
sic was all the most artistic and cultured
taste could desire. It consisted of an
instrumental duet by Misses Ray And
Walton.
Rive
“Blooming Meadow” (Julia
Kink)—Miss Neiia Lou Walton.
“Valse Brilliante,” (Lysberg,)—Miss
Lnulie Ray.
These selections were delightfully in
terspersed at intervals.
‘The essay entitled “Building a Good
Character,” by Miss Bessie Arnold,
was one of the best delivered, and con
tained many useful suggestions on
forming an ideal man or woman.
The recitation, “Kentucky Belle,”
by Miss Nellie Johnson, was splendidly
received. Her sweet voice will long
linger in the ears of those who heard'
her. [ v
An oration, “The Statue of Lee," by
W. P. Genrreld, was one of the finest to
which we have ever had the pleasure of
listening. His allusions to the South’s
dead hero awoke an echoing sentimenjt
in the hearts of all present.
The “Senior Farewell,” by Miss Sal-
lie Simril, was delivered in that charm
ing, graceful manner so characteristic
of her. Her touching tribute to f:he
teachers awakened many pleasing rec
ollections and tender emotions.
In ah appropriate manner Miss Lela
Hornsby transferred the class mantle
from the class of ’90 to the .class of ’91.
Miss Bailie Gibson’s “Response to
Sehior Farewell,” contained many
beautiful truths, clothed iu delightful
imagery, and held the attention of the
large 'audience throughout.
Finajly came the address by Hon. W.
R.’Hammond, of Atlanta. Col. Ham
mond is an easy, and at the same time
a cultured speaker, and his address
aune up to the most flattering expecta
tions that had been entertained for it
by his many friehds. It was i( logical
and scholarly effort. His speech -vat tali
not overburdened with meretriclotfs or- '
nament, but contained thoughts which
will affordthe audience, {^jw.eljiasthe
congratulate the' efttsspntheir selection
of an orator. We hope, in our next is
sue, to print the address in full.
^THURSDAY NIGrHT.
Thursday night’s exercises had been
eagerly 1 looked forward to as the crown
ing feature of the week. It marked an
important epoch in the lives of the fair
young graduates, who on this night
bade farewell to alma mater and launch
ed timidly forth upon the sea of lifp
May tlieit> future be as bright as it at
present gives promise.
The! exercises were opened with ah
earnest, impressive prayer by Dr. J. H.
Hall.
An Oration, (salutatory)—“The South
—Its Growth and Development Since
the ^yar”-jSlr. Ernest Powel. This
speech showed, in language vigorous
yet elegant, hofr the 'tishei of our
failures” have been made the “fertiliz
ers of our success.”
“The Hand and Its Work” formed
the subject of a beautiful essay by Miss
Jennie Hardaway. The important
functions of this most useful member
were,shown in a striking manner by this
sweet young graduate.
An Ossay on “Newnan,” by ^liss Ber
nice Andrews, was highly enjoyed by
all present, Upder the sparkling pen
of this young 7 lady the old; towh woo,
made to poss^ti new charms not Before 1
realized or appreciated.
Miss Daisy Peddy showed, in her
itnitable manner, “How We can Build,
in; the Last Fleeting Hour, Monuments
that Will Last Forever.” The eff&t of
hqr speech will long remain, ig its influ
ence at least, in'the minds and hearts
of her hearers. ’, .
It Was with; pleasure that we listened
to! “Echoes from an Empty tavern,
by Mi6s WilliqOri}. Her essay abound
ed in poetjcal thoughts and classical ul
lpsionf It was clothed in the choicest
language anil breathed the loftiest sen
timents. r
Miss Lela Hornsby chose for her
subject,, j ; j
“I slept, and dreamed that fife was beauty;
J woke, and found that life was duty." [
Listening to her we could realize that
beauty's influence, unaccompanied by
those higher and grander qualities of
the soul, might be likened to “those re
moter stars t^iat «Ud not our darkness
apd color nob our fiqe.”
One of the wittiest essayq to which
we ever lud the pleasurejof listening
was “SmiW,” by Miss Sallie Simril.
Miss Simril elucidated in her happiest
mood the philosophical difference be
tween “smiling a smole” and “smoling
aismlle.”
An oration, “A Successful Life,
formed the subject of an able effort by
Mr. Albert Pendergrast. .Jfis forcible
thoughts, terse language and elegant
delivery were all calculated 'to make
his speech a success.--* , v , h
"He that wins at last.
at Fortune ’round him
‘In tbc Barn”—Mattie Orr.
‘Georgia Politics”—Joe Arnall.
I*A Little Boy’s Thoughts”—JackCou-
Xoves the very tel
cost," , . .. . .
was the subject of a striking essay by.
Miss Ruth Powel. With that modesty
and quiet dignity so characteristic of
her, Miss Powel impressed forcibly up*
that, after the goal of ambition is
reached and one stands upon the high
est pinnacle of fame, how lie looks back
with love and fond regret upon the
very obstacles that “Fortune ’round
him cast.”
The “Latest Arrivals” (the Senior
class) were charmingly introducsd by
Miss Bessie Oir. She made a splendid
plea for the “sweet girl graduates,”
and her composition itself was a fitting
reply to those carping critics who ridi
cule graduating essays.
Miss Maude Arnold’s essay “Woman’s
Education-tWhat Should it UeV” was
thoughtful, and evinced much study.
She..s|howed in an entertaining nnd con
clusive manner how woman may make
her life a benediction and a blessing to
those who come withiQ the range of its
purifying influence.
'Miss Fannie Leigh’s essay, on “Deeds,
not Words;” was an entertaining' com
position. Her piquant manner lent an
additional charm to her pprightly essay.
Her elocutionary powers, as well as her
elegaht composition, were highly com
plimented.: , ' •!•’('
"Standing with reluctant foot,
W hero the brook anti river meet ”
was abutting theme for onA of New
nan’s loveliest nnd brighest girls, Miss
Annie Alexander. The essay, elevated
in .sentiment nnd chaste in diction,
caught new Inspiration frotn Its charm
ing author. In a modest, dignified way
she delivered one of the finest essays
of commencement. Her sweet manner
And unaffected grace won the hearts of
all who heard It. ' ’ > ■
With the poetic subject, “Charms
Strike the Sight, but Merit Wins the
Soul,” Miss Viola Brortn caught the at
tention of the audience nnd held it by
the masterly manner in which site por
trayed its beauties.
Miss Ella Goodrum, 1 the charming
Class Prophetess,” lifted the tradition
al veil which shuts off our view from
futurity and showed, iri a winning,
blithesome way, that the fates, so hhrsli
to ot|iers, would weave only for her
classmates the wob Of happiness and
loye. The class could not have made a
more appropriate selection.
“This is a for Us n Field Day,” was
the tijble of an essay by Miss Lillian V.
Dent, one of NeWftart’s favorites.
Whenever she appears upon the stage
we expect something lively arid inter
esting, nnd her composition fully sus-
d her well-earned reputation, and
ew laurels for heiself. Miss Lil
lian’^'powers of imitation are as rarq as
thqy Ate amusing.

Her tender allusions to thoto memories

Owing to the fact that this article
b # already been extended beyond its
proper limits, we must pass over the
remainder of the programme hurriedly.
Col.' P. S. WUlcoxon, who had been
chosen to deliver the annual , literary
Address to the Senior clnss, was next in
troduced by Prof. Ford. Col. Willcox-
soqiis not only one of Newnan’s most
prAninent lawyers, but also one of her
most Aloqucnt and gifted speakers, and
his magnificent effort lust evening add
ed fresh laurels to his already tyide rep
utation as an orator.
After his address Prof. Ford, in a few
, brief but impressive remarks, delivered
the diplomas to the graduating class.
Miss Ella Goodrum was then present
ed with a gold pen and pencil us a to

^ervicCs as orgnnist during the session.
