THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPn AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1684. LETTER FROM JONES COUNTY. I paraaol inband, faithfully representing the “Broadway Belle.’’ This dear little girl ia not more than eeven years of age, anashe Eierolses. Clixtos, June 28.—Knowing the deep interest which the Telegraph and Mu- singer has always manifested in the edu cational enterprises of our State and espe cially gratified at the liberal space given of late in your valuable columns to the com mencement exercises not only of Wesleyan and Mercer Colleges and also to your city public schools, but to the schools of small er note In the country, we respectfully re quest that you will publish the following report of our school and its interesting closing exercises. Clinton, once a prosperous commercial and educational town, full of enterprise and culture, and always noted for the un bounded hospitality ot her citizens, located in the heart of the best agricultural district of Middle Georgia, has suffered in all her vital, local, material interests, by reason oi two railroad lines reaebiug their long iron arms around her, pressing the life blood from her veins, leaving us only onr wealth of soil and the generous hospitality and honor of her citizens. Your beauti ful city has well-nigh absorb ed us. Our loss has been yonrgain, and although we present to the mere passer-by the appearance oi a de afened village, yet In the language of the immortal Webster, "Westill live.” Six months ago vour correspondent made mention of the fact that we were in need of a first-class male teacher for our echool. The article met the eye of Prof. Will F. Jones, then in charge of the Lu- faula High School, a young man who by his own personal energy and labor had graduated at one of our Georgia colleges, ahigh-toned Christian gentleman, in every way qualified to take charge of our school ana make it a success. A correspondence followed, his services were engaged and our school opened, but with no uattermg prospects ol great success. Indeed, there was more of doubt and indifference than of faith and labor on the part o( the com munity. But the same indomitable ener gy and devotion to duty which bad over come difficulties in securing his own edu cation entered into the school-room with him and soon every pupil felt the inspira tion and was quickened and electrified with the fact that we bad in Clinton not merely a "tcliool keeper”, but a live, ear nest. progressive teacher, fully demon strating the fact that where we have light and heat in the sources of development, the pnpil, however dull, will absorband re flect the benefits. CLOSING XXXRCISrs. On Friday evening—the school room be- ing too small to accommodate the large audience, made up oi nearly every citizen of Clinton, with many from your city and from the county—the old court house was used. The old walls, which have stood lor nearly seventy-live years, were beautifully garlanded end decorated with fiowers and pictures, presenting the appearance of hav ing been arranged by fair hands. The organ xecently purchased for the Methodist Church had been placed upon the stage, presided over grtcefuly and to the satisfac tion and delight ot all by Miss Ada Gris wold, one of the pupils ol the school. Mott- one redeeming feature of the entire enter tainment. No levy upon any outildo tal ent wae made. Our entertainment was no fraud, but an exhibition ot what the teach er and pupils bad accomplished, and it was certainly an occasion ol rejoicing upon the part of trusteee, patrons and all the friends of home Christian education. The patient and truthful work oi the teacher and the earnest and diligent application of the pupils was fully evidenced and re ceived the hearty approval and praise of all. At an early hour, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the weather, the large court room was densely packed, and the following order of exercises was ob served: 1. Music-“Ho! Ho! Vacation days are here;" rendered by the entire school, led by the teacher, Ml* Ada Griswold at the organ. The singing in our country schools may not be as classic and artistic as in your city colleges, but it has more heart music In it to ns, and certainly finds a more gen erous response in the pulses of our nature. The first division was called, and Mist Belle 8tewart recited “The Fireman,” so gracefully and to beautifully, that we wera inclined to think that the beet wine waa to he served at the beginning of the feast. Miss Emmie Childs followed in a most touching andexqnlsite rendering ot "A Georgia Volunteer." The sympathies of her young pnre heart entered Into the spirit ol the composition. Miss Pearl Holmes, with a heart toll of tenderness and love, recited the “Death ot Abaolotn.” Her diction was so clear and beautiful that we felt that pavld with hit bleeding heart and dead boy wera baton us. Miss Lois Johnson recited with great eltect and won derful success “81c Bemper Tyrannls.” Miss Ada Griswold, our otra Sunday- school organist, recited “The New Church Organ,” and many ot onr old-time Metho dists said “Amen’' to the sentiment. Hester Kober: Hardeman followed In a good style of oratory "William Tell.” Then it mnehof promise in Robert, and In A WALKER FROM TAW. AMnnonFoot From Montezuma to Ma con to Join the Match. We believe we have found the man to beat Prater, the Gainesville pedestrian, who walked In Atlanta.. He does not belong to Macon, hut to Ma con county, and he does not come upon crimson plush car seats, whizzing into town over the rails, but be comes in the ssrne wav be will work for the prize—on bis feet. He comes with no high-sounding record of climbing mountain steeps or leaping from crag to crag like the agile cbaraois, but with a plain, simple, unpre tentious, unadorned statement that be can walk; and there is no symptom of profes sionalism about him. No glittering medal decorates the homespun shirt, and instead or.e lone suspender that supports his cop- eras pants. He comes from the pure un tainted air of the coantry where hearts are big and honest; where there is no rooosic save the songs of the birds, and no .Jllipilft- -- drink save wa’er than which babbles up Jones.

Then followed sweet little Miss Annie Drue.Chllds, rendering as none but a pure, sweet, angel child could render, •• 'Tis not Worth While to Hate." There seemed to be a strange Inspiration in the sweet voice of the child, and her words will long linger in the memory of some who heard them. Miss Lena I tail- lips recited beautifully “The Hero of Bushington Tunnel." Miss May Stewart recited In an impres sive and beautiful style, "Tbe Riderless Steed.” „ . Miss Mattie Barron recited well the Honor to Workmen.” Miss Sallie Mad dox, did well in a recitation. Then fol lowed the beautiful valedictory by Miss Ophelia Librarian. Here- the Hon. Robt. V.

Ga., July 1.—The commence ment exercises of Monroe Female College are now in full blast. Dr. Strickler. of At lanta, preached the sermon on last Sunday. It was a fine effort, showing much study and thought. Yesterday was devoted to readings by the Freshman class. Considering the shortness of time for preparation and that the readers were all small girls, the enter tainment was in every way a success. Last night the Alurunnan Society gave an entertainment consisting of music, re citation and charades. It was in every re spect a success, tar surpassing the expecta tions of any. On this morning, notwithstanding the disagreeableness of the weather, the cuapel was well filled to listen to the read ings of the 8ophomore and Junior classes. The shower of flowers fully attested the popularity of the fair young contestant* and showed that For syth never lacks in appreciation for the etlorts of our college. All the readers ac quitted themselves creditably, with so little difference that the committee had much trouble in making tbe awards. Col. K. L. family A Bad Accident. Yesterday morning Mr. 8. Siesel, of Siesel *fc Sterne, liquor dealers, took bis friend, Mr. Phil Heidingsfelder, ot Toombsboro, out for a ride. They proceed ed on their way to the park and while crossing the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad near the park entrance the spirited pony took a sudden notion to run away. In making a sharp curve one of the front wheels was broken. This gave additional impetus to the animal’s move ments and he made a sudden dash, throw- out both gentlemen. The buggy dasbed furiously agfftoat the park gate and was completely de molished. The horse made a break for tbe park, where he was caught by Mr. Galla gher. tbe park superintendent. Mr. Siesel was badlv hurt by tbe acci dent. His head struck the ground, caus ing a severe contusion. He was carried to his store on Third street and Dr. K. P. Moore called in. He remained unconscious for an boor, but soon revived sufficiently to be carried to his residence on Plum street, where he was resting quietly yester- 5r. Heidingsfelder received several bruises on the knee, but was able to walk. It was rather a bad accident. 6 per cent., quarterly cou pon* _dC2 luanita 6 per cent., quarterly coupons loi Wesleyan Female College boad*..l00 RAILROAD BOND*.
