ular hostess of the Virginia House, en.
tertained her friends and guests with
a similar exhibition, though there were
not so many blooms. Mrs. Manley has
quite an extensive collection of flowers,
including some species that are very
rare. Another attractive sight this

Mrs. W. A. Dent’s front yard, which is
now in full bloom, and an object of ad-
miration to every one who passes that

Before tbe Newnan Medloal Society.
For several months past the members

ber of interesting theses have been
brought out on the subject from first to
last. A short time ago it was decided
to invite Dr. Abner W. Calhoun, of
Atlanta, to visit Newnan and deliver a
lecture before the society. The invi.
tation was accepted, and at the regular
meeting of the society on Monday night
last he appeared and delivered a most
interesting and Instructive lecture, and
one that was much enjoyed by the
medical fraternity, as well as by the se
lect audience who had been favored
with special invitations by tbe society.
Dr. QalUoun is a pleasing and grateful
speaker, and demonstrated bis subject
with an ease and fluency that held the
undivided attention of his audience for
more thnn nn hour. It was an occasion
of much interest to the members of the
Newnan Medical society, and an event
of equal importance and enjoyment to
their delighted guests.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
Closing Exercises of tbe City Public
Schools.
Last Sunday morning the Baptist
church was crowed to its utmost capac
ity by a large and appreciative audi
ence, assembled to witness the third
annual commencement of the city pub-
lid schools. No city in the State can
boast a better equipped school, nnd the
manner in which it is conducted reflects
great credit on its able superintendent,
and his competent corps of assistants.
The reflned and intelligent audience
which graced this occasion was a fitting
manifestation of Newnan’s interest in
her educational institutions.
The Senior class, consisting of seven
teen members, occupied seats, on the
front row, and gave earnest attention
to the eloquent discourse of Dr. J. H.
Hall, assisted by Rev. C. C. Cary. He
chose Jils text from II. Peter, 1 :xiii-xv.;
Heb., 11 :iv.: “Life is an undying influ
ence." His sermon , was logical and pro
found, and was listened to with the
closest attention from beginning to end,
In his solemn and impressive manner,
he spoke truths that sank deep into the
hearts of his young hearers. No doubt
this discourse will prove one of those
undying influences which he so forcibly
dwelt upon.
The organ was gracefully presided
over by Miss Ella Goodrum, who is too
well-known in musical circles to need
special encomium here. She was as
sisted by the following choir: Miss
Laura Daniel, soprano; Miss Sallie Sim-
ril, first alto; Miss Anabel Clarke, sec
ond alto; Messrs. Y. II. Thompson, T.
M. Goodrum and Warren Baggarly,
bass; Messrs. Luther M. Farmer and
Walter Baggarly, tenor; Mr. Y. C.
Thompson, B flat cornet; Mr. R. N
Cole, B flat cornet. Miss Laura Daniel
sang a soprano solo, and Mr. T. M,
Goodrum sang a baritone solo. The mu
sic was exceptionally fine, and was
highly complimented by. every .one.
Fleming, R. E.
MONDAY MORNING.
The exercises Monday morning con
sisted of oral examinations by the A
Grade High School, and of the Junior
class, which were conducted by Prof,
J. E. Pendergrast and Miss Annie An
derson.
Prof. Pendergrast gave an exhibition
of his work by examinations in arithme
tic, algebra and the languages. It was
easy to see that Prof. Pendergrast had
the true idea of an examination, viz: to
show to the patrons just how well the
pupils had mastered their respective
subjects. The examples were chosen at
random, and every one present was in
vited to ask questions on the different
subjects. The problems were all solved
with an ease and accuracy that was tru
ly marvelous. His exercises in Latin
were especially fine. The eight transla
tions were pronounced by competent
judges to be the finest ever heard. Prof,
Pendergrast has all the requisites of
successful teacher. His analytical metb
od of teaching, combined with his dis
cipline, and perfected by experience,
have made him an adept in training the
youthful mind.
The exercises in Miss Annie Ander
son’s department consisted of examina
tions in history, arithmetic, algebra,
physical geography, physics and litera-
tuie. The ready answers of her pupils,
their quick work and correct replies,
showed that they had imbibed a vast
amount of knowledge in thqir several
departments. Miss Anderson is esteem
ed throughout this section of the State
for her ability as a teacher; and if the
work done by her pupils last Monday is
an evidence, she has well sustained her
enviable reputation. The following
were examined:
JUNIOR CLASS.
Bessie Leigh, Ktliel Nimmons, Bessie
Arnold, Bessie Brown, Sallie Gibson,
Laulie Bay, Nellie Johnson, Jennie Mad
dox, Fantiie Lou Arnold, Ada Argo,
Neila Lou Walton, Ruth Hill, Sallie Ar

Heidt Pendergrast, Houston Arnold.
After a short intermission the pat
rons listened to a few selected recita
tions and speeches, as follows:
"The American Flag’’—John Hyde.
“The Freeman”—Hattie Gibson.
“The Collier’s Child”—Isadore Robin
son.
“The South and Her Patriots”—Heidt
Pendergrast.
“Elopement in '76”— Mariaune Melson.
“The Church and World” — Fannie
Jones.
TUESDAY MORNING. •
There were several interesting fea
tures on Tuesday morning—announce
ment of honors, recitations and a spell
ing-bee. While it may have been gen
erally conceded that Miss Nannie Sue
Rill and Mr. Ernest Powel would
bear away the first and second honors,
respectively, still there is always some
excitement until the honors are formal
ly awarded. All the morning the anx
ious Seniors were assembled in Prof.
Ford’s room, closely watching the
marks as they were placed on the board
and averaged. Miss Nannie Sue Ilill,
who was awarded the first honor, ex
hibited one of the highest records ever
made in the history of Newnan’s
schools, and her literary attainments
shed new lustre on our educational in
stitutions. Although the youngest girl
in her clam she has borno off the high
est honor that can be conferred by nny
school. Her brilliant scholarship is a
matter of gratulatlon, alike to her
many friends and acquaintances.
Mr. Ernest Bowel, who takes second
honor, is the youngest member of the
clam. There is not a brighter young
student in the State, as his high schol
arship fully attests. We congratulate
him on receiving an honor so worthily
won.
The following grades were examined:

Examinations were held in these de
partments in grammar, history, aritb
metic and geography.
Mrs. Robinson taught school for a
number of years before her connection
with the city public school, and Is a
great favorite with l>oth patrons and
pupils. Her examinations wore quite
rigid, and showed that the pupils under
her chargo were laying a thorough
foundation. Her illustrations wort
quite unique, and showed that she is
thoroughly alive to thn most approved
methods of teaching.

The examinations were held in arith
metic, geography, history, reading,
spelling and grammar. The searching
questions asknd the young boys nnd
girls were well calculated to bring out
their knowledge of the respective sub
jects. If a rigid examination is evi
dence, these young pupils have acquir
ed a wonderful amount of knowledge
during the past year. The worst pro
nounced "old fogy” would have cer
tainly changed his sentiments could he
have listened to these young grammari
ans and historians recite last Tuesday.
Mis* Cliff Walton, who is at the head
of this grade, combines the rare gift of
imparting knowledge, with all the zeal
and energy of making the various
studies interesting.

Miss Lizzie Hill, the popular and ac
complished teacher of this grade, con
ducted examinations in geography,
arithmetic, grammar, and other ele
mentary studies. Here again we were
greeted by the bright and attentive
faces of younger pupils. We heard sev
eral of her patrons say they had never
been more highly entertained by a
school exhibition. The calisthenic ex
ercises were a novel feature, and shows
that she has the true idea of education,
viz: “A sound mind in a sound body.”
We extend congratulations to the pat
rons of this department upon the rapid
advancement which their children have
made under their careful and efficient
instructress.
A spelling-bee between the B and C
Grammar Grades was very interesting,
and highly amusing. Both sides spelled
remarkably well, and it was difficult to
predict which would win. Finally, the
last representative of the G grade, Miss
Annie May Morgan, missed, leaving
Master Freddie McSwain and Miss Kate
Faver to bear off the victory for the B
Grade Grammar class.
Next on the programme were -recita
tions and speeches from representatives
of each grade.
Following is a list of the speakers:
