Hr*. Stereo's Institute.
The closing exercises of Mrs. A.

large audience Wednesday evening,
and all who- attended express them
selves highly entertained by the rec

from the little ones. The whole affair
■raft arranged nnd managed by the pu
pils themselves, and they deserve
much credit. Ywo young ladies,
Misses Annie Mash and Cena
Jackson, graduated from the Insti
tute, the one delivering the saluiato-
tory, the other the valedictory. The
diplomas and medals were presented
by Rev. A. M. Williams, in a most ap
propriate address. We regret exceed
ingly that the absence of a programme
prevents a more extended notice of the
occasion.
Mis. Sterne’s Institute is in a most
flourishing condition, rapidly growing,
and though established for only a short
time, already ranks among the first in-

Mr. Griffin's case is a sad one, and
one of peculiar interest. He is about

shown any symptoms of insanity until
recently, when he was attacked with
typhoid fever. At one tints during

S condition, and had every appearance

after recovering from the critictl state

Mr. Griffin sc-ems to think he has

that, in his new state, his friends are
liable to regard him is somebody else,
or as a supernatural being. He there

he is Simeon A. Griffin. He talks

Mr. Griffin has always been a pious

rant upon which tbe arrest was
made, and, when no information
was given, naked if ho was arrested
for buruiug the Uoart House.
Howell is a large'laud dealer, and
there Is a true-bill against him for
false deeds, and, also, for throwing
a rock (or piue-knol) into the pas
senger coach at Pelham, and a little
Thomas county trouble about some
sheep.
But he i* in jail now, ani If inno
cent can provs it no doubt; so we
leave his case with the jury, that is,
provided it ever gets there. Lishc
is a wonderful fellow to break jail
aud retreat to his home in the East,
where he has raauy friends. The
party capturing Mr. Howell was
the Sheriff, G. W. Swindle, with hla
posse, DeGraffenrcid, Scaife, Dr.
Georgo and Yancey Ellis. Tbe
whole matter was well managed, a*
it the case wlicuerer Swindle is at
tbe head of it. Howell has been at
large iu the East a long time, but
public opinion became so strong as
to urge his arrost. Hence the un
dertaking by the Sheriff Howell
was captured at one of the Crosby’s
in Colquitt county, about six o’clock
in the moruiug. When he was taken
he said, “Well, boys, you havo sur
prised me this time.”
—The 10th of June is the regular
time for John Wilson to close the
Tax Receiver’s books. He tells u*
that there arc a great many people
who have not “given in” yet, who
will be liable to donblo tax. It i*
now too late. Mr. Wilson gave due
notice and has been to each district
three times.
—Napoleon did not like journal
ists. “A journalist!" repeated the
first consol, “that means a grumb
ler, a ccnsurcr, a giver of advice, a
regent of sovorigns, a tutor of na
tions.” This is recalled to mind by
tbe press of the Sute, which com
plains that the Atlanta Phonograph
is a grumbling Journal. “How puor
are the/ that have no pstlence.”

In tho mountains of Tyrol hun
dreds of the women and children

sing their national song until they
bear their husbands, fathers, or

on their return home. On the

sounds to their own Village.
No each pastoral scenes brighten
the every day life of the peoplo of
Georgia. They hare no “national
song” to ring, and the culture of
cotton is hard labor from
January to Christmas. At this
writing how very hot the sun is!
and where ia the poetry in it? Bill
Arp most have thought he was on
the mountains tending sheep when
be said: "Farming is the most
peaceful pursuit la the world, and
the most honorable, but anything is
better than war.” Yea, better than
war, as Bill says, “but tbe dark side
will never be written. There is loo
much of it. What the writer has
been through with would fill a
book, and that is as nothing when
one thinks of G. M. Bacon or L. A.
M. Collins. John Pearce is writing
a book on the dark tide of faming,
and so long is it that he has tbe
rheumatism of the wrist aud fing

teresting as Horace Greeley’s, ex
cept to merchants and warehouse
men. Some.of John’s essays aro
short and relate only to things per
sonal, but he grows garralous at
times and talks of realty, and al
ways winds up one of his stories,
whether long or short, with tbe
same words: “Given under my

In the presence of In the lan

we want John “satisfied.” John’s
book is fixed up with a view to bus

secrete, and let the world know bow
much land thoy hive, and how
many mules and horses ami cows
and calves and oxen and hogs and

Mitchell county—is a good thing.
It keeps people frera getting above

Bob Toombs aud Aleck Stephen*
read a few advanced chapters from
this same book;and because a lit lo
property, here and there, waa kept
from the public eye, as sacred per
haps to a man’s wife, they eame to
the conclusion that onr peoplo were
growing poorer every day. A
strange conclusion,indeed, when the
very book itself seta np plainly the
fact that to thriving aro our peoplo
that they are perfectly indifferent to

Arlington Advancs: Last Thurs
day was a lively day in tbe wool mar
ket of our town. $3,609.91 changed
bands for that commodity alone and
we venture it resulted in.a better profit
to those interested than their entire,
cotton'erop, which costs so much time
.hard labor and money. We strongly
advocate sheep raising to onr plantim,
as the Barest and qoickss: means of
restoring their lost fortunes.
Arlington Advance: The cotton crop
of this section is raid to be a* fine as
ever was seen at this season of the year.
It is growing nicely, to a pretty
height, and blooms can bo found in
almost any field that was planted at
tbe proper time.
Corn is looking tolerably well, that
around town is considered good,
though the crop in e great many places
has been neglected for cotton. How
ever, I he prospects arc yet good for
an average crop with seasons sad
proper cultivation.
The oat crop was not as good aa it
promised to be a short time hack.
Some of it hotdt.d to close to tbe
ground that it could not be cub It is
quite a loss to oar farmers, as they
were canting heavily on it aa a sab-
Klitate for corn, and especially tbe
damaged corn that they havo been
forced to u«c.
Farmer* below and above boro have
•□fibred a great deal for rain; some
say they havo not had a good seuion In

Mrs. Adam Grubb. 231 Walnut street
bas been a great sufierer for a number
of yean from extreme pains intho.feet,
something like rheumatls-n. She war
also very much troubled with corns
and bunions. It was with great diffi
culty that she could walk, and some
times when she would visit her hut-
band’s shoe store orany or her chil
dren, she conld not get home again
without assistance, and often when she
wss walking along the streets she
would be seised with such acute pain
that she was compelled to stop in at
the neighbors on the way until she got
better. Somu two weeks ago the beard
of thr wonderful cures St. Jacobs Oil
was affecting and she at oner com
menced to use It and experienced great
roller immediately. Tbe pains hare left
her feet and ankles and the inflamstion
has left the corns and bunions. She le

Tax Cincinnati JCnguirer estimates
the wheat crop this yaar at 450.000-
000; and goes on to say tbs prospect
for good crops is generally received
with delight by our people, for they
see in a large yisld from the farms, in
answer to tbe labors of ths husband
man, prosperity for the county at
large and increasing power. Frequent
boasts are heard to the effect that our
country, with its great expanse of fer
tile lands and favorable climate, has
the capacity to feed the world. The
constant increase is acreage planted is
taken as aa indication that idle lands
are being mad* productive tnd adding
to onr greatness, and the patriotic citi
zen swells with pride as he contem
plates the bright fa tore. Not so with
the speculator. This individual is
pamed to bear of good crops, and he
hails any report to the contrary with
satisfaction. Let there be published
s statement from some remote section
of the country that the Hessian fly has
grown fat at the expanse of the wheat
crop, or th it s long spell of cold weath
er bss winter-killed or th* drought
has dried np the infant growth and he
leaps with joy at prospective high
price*, by means of “corners," sad he
immediately magnifies the reports into
a general flow of crops and proceeds to
discount the fsitare by advancing
bin figures upon tbe stock he controls.
Little cares he forth* general pros
perity of the country so his pockets
are well filled. But when, after ell his
to boll the mar-
croaking sad attempts
ket have (ailed, and from other fields
tbe welcome intelligence that
the country Is not going backward in
its producing capacity, his
lion is truly amusing.

Peculiarities or ths Year 1881'.
A contemporary points out that the
rear 1881 is an arithmetical curiosity.
From right to left and left to right it
reeds thu seme. Eighteen divided by 2
gives 9 ne the quotient; 81 divided by 9
gives 9; if divided by 9 tbe quotient
contsinr n 9; if multiplied by 9 the pro
duct contains two 9a; 1 sad 8 are 9; 8
and 1 are 9; if tbe 18 bo placed under
the SI and added tbo eom is 99. If tbe
figure* bo added thus: 1,8,8.1, it will
give 18. Beading from left to right it is
18, and 18 is two-ninths of 81. It also
reads tha same apside down, tbo first
year capable of being so read since 169L
Perhaps this was tbe roaron why Moth
er Shipton selected this year as a con
venient one for the end of tho world.
