The Board of Trustees of the Albany
Academy met at the News and Ad
vertiser office at half past 9 o’clock
last Saturday morning for the purpose
of hearing the report of the committee
to whom the applications for principal-
ship of the Academy, and all corres
pondence relating thereto, had been re
ferred. The committee had made
diligent inquiry about each applicant,
and submitted the names and indorse
ments of those whom they thought
most competent and acceptable.
The Board, after hearing the report
of the committee and the reading of
the recommendations and endorse
ments submitted, unanimously elected
Prof. S. G. Brinkley as Principal.
Eight of the nine members of the
Board of Trustees were present, and
the vote which Prof. Brinkley received
was unanimous.
Prof. Brinkley is a graduate of our
State University, and has beeu teach
ing school ever since he left college in
1875. He is highly indorsed as a man
and teacher by Prof. Mell, Dr. A. J.
Battle, Prof. B. H. Zettler (and other
prominent educators. At present he
is teaching a flourishing school at
Orlando, Fla. He is expected in Al
bany some time during the present
month to confer with the Board of
Trustees with reference to a sucessful
opening of the Academy about the first
of September.
From what we have learned of Prof.
Brinkley, we feel satisfied that the
Board of Trustees have secured the
right man for the place.

A minister of the gospel in an ad-
joiningcounty writes a communication
to the News and Advertiser in de
fense of the Rev. Mr. McMeen, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Bain-
bridge, w*ho, it appears, is a Northern
man, and has recently been criticised
by the Bain bridge Democrat for a re
mark which he made about Jefferson
Davis. The Democrat'a criticism elici
ted a card from some of the prominent
members of Mr. McMeen’s church, and
our esteemed contemporary makes
reply and has evidently stirred up
some of the brethren and got a church
fuss on its hands. But it is no fuss of the
News and Advertiser’s, and our
reverend correspondent should have
sent his communication to the Demo
crat. The “seat of war” in this case is
in the columns of our Bainbridge con
temporary. It is unnecessary for us
to add that we have no desire to be led
into the fracas. The News and Ad
vertiser never closes its columns to
those whom It criticises, and it is as
much as we can do to take care of our
own engagements. We may add that
experience has taught us that church
quarrels and ministerial and church
cheir scandals of every kind are mighty
~;ood things to leave out of the paper.
)ur correspondent must, therefore, ex
cuse us for not giving place to his com
munication in our emumns.

Capt. J. G. Stephens is placing in
front of the two stores occupied by
him and Mr. Dennis Brosnan a gas
pipe aw’ning, that will prove ornamen
tal as well as insure comfort. Capt R.
Hobbs says that the object of using
the pipe is to run water 4rom the arte
sian well through them and thus re
duce the temperature, and at the same
time run a fly fan aud music box at
tachment for comfort; and entertain
ment, during the dull summer month*.
That will prove a great boon, as one
enjoying the cooling breezes, vocal
with the voice of music, will forget the
troubles that Infest the summer days

apply at once for a patent, as this idea,
if practical, will insure a rich reward
for his ingenuity.

She died on last Sabbath at her old
home in Madison, Georgia. Mrs.

before her marriage, she taught an art

her again in this world.

several precautions in the premises
not mentioned by “W. N. S.” Jndge

Farm Work.
The farmers from every section
around Albany report good crop's, but
plenty of grass, though not iu-dis
couraging quantity. It is well to have
some grass; it is evidence of moisture
and the necessity to remove it insures
a good working for the crops. But it
should be taken In hand, at once, or
tlie substance,' on which the plants
feed may be drawn from the laud by
the rank growth of grass and iujury
be done before it is apprehended. One
thiug our farmers must learn, and that
is to work crops rapidly. Corn, cotton,
melons, and, we believe, every. plant
or vine fruits at a certain age, it mat
ters not how small, it makes an effort
to fruit when that age is attained.
Norv, if all fully understood the im
portance of a healthy plant in its rela
tion to the fruit they would realize the
importance of starting off crops under
the most favorable conditions possible.
All things being equal, plants will
fruit in proportion to the size and health
of their bodies, and maturity is regu
lated by the same laws. If, therefore,
a stalk or cotton or corft is small w’hen
it arrives at that age for fruiting, one
can’t expect it to do as well as a fully
matured plant for the time of growth.
We need intelligent cultivation of our
land, acreage reduced, fertilization in
creased, more honest labor expended,
farm economyexercised and every other
reform that will tend to lift us from
the rut of retrogression into which the
wheels of the car of progress have fal
len. We have many industrious and
prosperous farmers in our section and
we confidently look forward to the
time when all this section will be “in
clover.” , _ _

NOTICE. '
Watermelon shippers will take notice
that there has been a reduction
in rates to New York,
In all th« limits of our beautiful city
there is nothing, perhaps, to which her
citizens point with more pride than to
Mrs. A. Sterne’s Institute of learn
ing.
This pride in our htgb schools and
seminaries and academies Is most
commendable. These schools may be
called the very cradles of our civiliza
tion. In them the tender tbonghts of
the budding mind is nursed and nour
ished, and given power aud strength
and beanty, aud prepared for the
sterner conflicts of the battle of life.
Bat it is not our object to write an
essay on the blessings of education.
According to announcement a large
audience gathered at Willingham's
Hall on Tuesday evening to witness
the opening programme of the clos
ing exercises of Mrs. Sterne’s school.
The exercises began with the
“march” by the collegiate classes.
This “march” was a treat to the au
dience. There is no such drill com
pany In Albany. ' Capt. Woolf oik nor
Capt. Wight ever commanded half so
interesting a company. A woman is a
natural tactician anyhow, but these
collegiates performed with unusual
skill the marches and counter marches,
the W'heels, and all tlie evolutions and
involutions of military tactics. They
were beautifully uniformed—in suits of
w’hite with scarlet “trimmings.” We
do not know bow to describe this mil
linery outfit, but we know it was the
sweetest “dress parade” we ever saw.
Throughout this drill there were no
orders given. Noneat all. But each
movement was guided and controlled
by the music. In other words, Miss
Champ gave the command through her
fingers at the piano.
When the “soldiers” left the field
where each had covered herself with
glory, the curtain rose and gave the
audience a full peep at the “Fairy
School.” This little band of mischiev
ous looking elves were composed of
the folio wiug sprites: Misses J.
Price, J. aud M. L. Tomkins, L. and
B. Ehrlich, P. Jones. C. Sterile, H.
Walters, R. Fleisher, S. Cohn, R.
Wight and Master M. C. Sterne. This
fairy picture w'as well conceived and
was well received. Fairies are fond
of tricks, and these, too, “played off,”
their diminutive way, on their
teacher—Miss Lillie Ehrlich. Master
M. C. Sterne was dancing Master and
brought “down the bouse” in the grand
fairy dance. Farh s can dance, and
“hop as light as birds from flower to
flower.”
Next came the trial of Peter Sloper.
This scene was full of gravity, and was
true to nature. . Peter(L. Gortatow-
sky) violated Statute no 47 of the Blue
Laws and was a prisoner at the bar.
The officials, hi this important case
were: C. Strother, Judge; Solicitor-
Geneial, Leon Sterne; Defendant’s
Attorney, Henry Gortatowsky;. Dep
uty-Sheriff, Phil Hof may er; Yankee
witness, Louis Hofmayer; blind wit
ness, Ed. Little. This case was well
managed. The Solicitor-General was
all earnestness and gravity. The fate
of the nation was in his hands. Not
only did he represefit^the majesty of the
law, but bis zeal, his positive assertions
gave unmistakable evidence that his
fee was contingent upon his success.
Defendant’s attorney was equal to the
emergency. He sifted the evidence, ex-
l»o*fd the over willingness of theyankee
witness and showed that had he even
atuck that pin deeper iuto his innocent
clieut, who was. simply mentally
ruminutipg over the parson’s good
advice, it would have amounted to
nothing, “sleepy breath or no sleepy
breath,” as tlie proseention had failed
to prove that Peter acted feloniously
and maliciously and with criminal in
tent. The J udge, in powdered wig
and judicial gown, reviewed the case
and issued his decree with oracular au
thority.
Tlie decision of the Judge was wise
and just, as he was app’auded tremend
ously by the audience who felt con
tinued that though clothed with so
much dignity and the authority,
the Judge, as his kindly eye indi
cated, was uot an austere man.
But perhapernpthing was more pleas
ing than the . “Gathering of Nations.”
“Liberty,” represented by MissRosa
Merriwether, acd personified as a God
dess, wasseekipgii home. Each nation
sought towin the Goddess. -Miss Mary
Muse represented China; Miss Viola
Flint, India; Miss ViviUa Price, Rus
sia; Miss Eva Hooks, Germany; Miss
Settle Sterne, Scotland; Miss Lula
Jackson, Spain; Miss Jesse Walters,
France; Miss Stella Elirlich, Ireland;
Miss Eva Brown,^America. This was
perfect. Each young lady won the
hearts of the audience.
The little chorus, “I have a Farm”
by Masters L. and P. Hofmayer, H.
and L. Gortatowsky, E. Little, A.
Sterne, T. Pond, and M. C.
Sterne, was an agreeable diversion.
The tableau—“A Concourse pf God
desses”—was60 lovely as to awaken at
once the admiration of all. The en
core was so immense that the ap
preciative auditory was. allowed to
look on the Olympic Court the sec
ond time, and every man in the
liouse felt as if he wanted to be a “enp-
bdarer” to the classic beauties.
Miss Mimqis impersonated Juno;
Mis3 Brinson, Clio; Miss Pate, Miner
va; Miss H. Mercer, Ceres; Miss A.
Mercer, Diana; Miss M. Ehrlich, Au
rora; Miss‘Hay, Urania; Miss Hol
combe, Terpsichore; Miss Hooks,
Hebe, aud Misses Randall, Threlkeld
and M. Carter represented the Three
Graces. '
e.i nsr Eti- greatly appreciated on the night before,
WiiiiafkanfiTvouU be repeated. She took occa
sion to say that these exercises were in
no sense an amateur performance in
the nature of theatricals, but were an
instructive entertainment for the audi-

being accomplished with the precision
of veterans; and the easy grace of move

The exercises of the evening closed
with a cautata—“Grandma’s Birth

entertainment, which will be long re
membered by those whose pleasure it
was to be present.
Collegiate exercises always -appear
to os necessarily in an attitude highly
interesting. Onr.girls, like expanding
roses, just boddingf intib beauty, espe
cially possess for us all an irresistible
charm. While iff may not be theirs in

'Wednesday Ereiiing-.
Among all the institutions of our
I cily, in which pride is taken, none is
more popular, with the Albanians,
than the Sterne Institute. This is
of delighted spectators that gathers,
yearly, to enjoy the charming enter-
This march was designed to Illustrate
the mode of 'physical training so pro
ductive of beneficial results. The
erect bearing, the stroug, steady and
elastic step, the ruddy cheek, the full
and rounded form of Mrs. Sterne’s
pupils bear abundant testimony of the
benefits acruiug from this healthful
exercise. Miss Champe with her
commanding notes of music guided
the young ladies through their grace
ful evolutions.
The second piece-on the programme,
‘The Refined Simpletons,” Misses
Pearl Brinson, Fannie Minims, Annie
Mercer aud Enlilla Jackson, was a
happy selection, and fitly illustrated
the false notions so common with
young ladies just entering upon the
arena of life, from the hot bed of erro
neous instruction, the average finish
ing school.
Each young lady in this charade
acquitted herself handsomely, and
brought out mostqdmtrably the moral,
that she who is always kind and con
siderate, and fulfills every obligation
devolving upon her by reason of her
station in life, is always a lady.
Rounds of applause. expressed the ap
preciation of the audience.
The next feature of the entertain
ment was a “Semi-Chorus.—Vocal.’.*
—“Come to the Sweet Woodland. 1
Misses Mary Price, Annie Pond,
Emma Wessolowsky, Fannie Hol
combe, Lula Wooten and Mary Pond.
This was full of melody, and the
voices of these “Daughters of Music”
blended most harmoniously in the
beautiful web of song.
Perhaps, as enjoyable as any of the
many excellent features of this delight
ful entertainment was little “Snow-
white,” Misses M. Carter, A. Cohen,
H. Walters, J. Price, J. and M. L.
Tomkins, L. and B. Ehrlich, P. Jones,
and C. Sterne, and Masters P. aud J.
Hofmayer, L. and A. Gortatowsky, E.
Little, B. Walters P. and E. Brown,
M. C. aud S. C. Sterne, T. Pond, E.
Robinson, I. Ehrlich and A. Sterne.
These pupils belong to the intermedi
ate classes, but they presented this lit
tle fairy tale with all the realistic ef
fect of older and more experienced
players.- The lovely though vain
queen, had a most happy portrayal in
Miss M. Carter, while her more beauti
ful aud innocent rival, little Snow-
white, was most pleasingly represented
in Miss Hallie Walters. Every scene
elicited new expressions of de.ight and
surprise, and the happy denouement
was received with a burst of applaase.
“Adverti'ing for Help.” enacted by
Misses M. Mayer, M. Pond, E. Carter,
M. Ehrlich, L. Wooten, M. Peritx, E,
Jackson, S. Pate, P. Brinson and A.
Mercer, gave opDortunity for an exhi
bition of the scope aud versatility of
acquirements. This was well received
and forcibly presented all the diffi
culties attending the selection of
maid of all-work by a housekeeper*
It also demonstrated the value of ad
vertising. One insertiou in the col
umns of the Daily Nkws and Adver
tiser for help, brought to the thrifty
housekeeper a score or more applicants
for the place.
At this juncture, Master J. Hofmay*
er came before the curtain, and, on be
half of the young ladies who were to
present the “French Play,” fearing
lest there might be a few who did not
sufficiently understand French to ena
ble them to keep up with the play,
gave a comprehensive synopsis,
toua lea rapporta, equal to one accus
tomed to being called before. the foot

The creditable manner in which> the
“Round” was presented by Misses A.
Pond, E. Wessolowsky, M. Ehrlich,
M. Price, F Holcombe, L. Jackson,
M. Pond L. Wooten and S. Sterne,
charmed the already pleased audience.
The French play, “Mleux VautTard
Que Jamais,” as presented by Misses
M. Pond, E. Carter, F. Holcombe, L.
Wooten, P. Brinson, T. Weslow, M.
Mayer, E. Brown, M. Warren, L. Hay
and Rubie Wight, was an immense suc-
We know this because the audi
ence, was so delighted and manifested
such an evident appreciation of
every sentiment. The News and
Advertiser reporter enjoyed it as he
would a pantomime, accompanied by
sweet music, for the melody of tbeir
merry, girlish voices, charmed the ear
while their beauty and grace eaptivated
the heart through the eye. Bn^we
judge from the fluency with which
they spoke in an unknown tongue, that
the young ladies were proficient in the
language. ^ .
The “Overture,*? by Misses L. V.
Jackson, Leonard and Gbampe, from
Tancred, was a most admirable execu
tion of a difficult but sweet composi-
tiou. No whereis an audience better ca
pacitated to enjoy or appreciate such
symphonies than in Albany; and we are
indebted to such as Miss.Champe for
the cultivation that renders such ap
preciation possible. 1
The last 6f the evening, the cantata,
“Gipsy Life,” by the collegiate depart
ment, presented a marvelous effect in
gipsy costumes and quaint sweet music
of fgipsy songs, .which conspired to
make it one of the most engaging of all.
The singing reflected credit upon the
patient skill of the teacher. The cur
tain then closed to shut from view, but
not from memory, ’an entertainment
that contributed so great a pleasure to
the fortunate auditory.
After all, education is designed
chiefly to equip us with the knowledge
that brings ■ easec 4n she society with
which we mingle; and the qtuditjes,
acquisitions and modesty discovered
in the pupils of Mrs. Sterne’s Institute
clearly indicate the care and skill of
their trainers. Mirny young' ladies
grace the homes of Albany and neigh
boring Cities, the foundation of whose
education, together with its ; polished
superstructure, were built by Mrs. A.
Sterne. -

A Pleasant Precursory Entertain
ment.
There was quite, a large concourse
of delighted guests to enjoy the charm
ing hospitalities of the happy home of
Mr. and Mrs. Tho?. H. Willingham on
last Monday night.
The occasion was a last entertain
ment given by the fond parents of
Miss Florrie Willingham to her friends,
before her wedding of the following
day, and was one of toe most delight
ful in all its features ever enjoyed by
the society people of Albany. Gather
ing early iu the eveuing, the hoars
were beguiled by sweet converse and
social pleasures that are known to
such cultured circles. -
At 18 o’clock, supper was announced
and the guests were ushered into a
dinning hall brilliant in light which
discovered toe table—a cross, bat one
of the most- inviting ever fallen to
’s lot—which wnt laden with
every delicacy that could tempt the
appetite or satisfy toe htiuger of man.
After this most snmptuons repast, the
party gathered in kuots around the
cool, long piazza enjoying toe unequal
ed beauties of a'Southern moon- it
night when enhanced by such delight
ful conditions, until the voice of music
called them back to the enjoyment of
toe cozy parlor.
Recitations followed toe music, and
thus the hours sped pleasantly by
unnoticed, until tbe time tot depar
ture had arrived
The presents sen tin by friends, were
numerous, costly and elegant, com
prising many of the most unique d<F-
signs of ornamental and useful articles
of china, bronzes, silverware, etc.
Many from a distance graced the fes
tive scene with their presence, but
none contributed more pleasure than
Mrs. Thas. H. Willingham, Jr., of
Macon, Ga.
The warm and courteous hospitality
of this home was never, more pleasant-
ISrauti fill Decoration*..
No event in life is more hallowed
will: sacred joys,nor engages more fully
the sympathies of the public heart,than
a wedding. Emmcrson condensed this
general interest in such happy occa
sions in the expression, “All the world
loves a lover.” Especially is this true
when the high contracting parties are
popularly known a-d beloved, and
when a host of friends and relatives
vie with each other In giving expres
sion to their interest, and to throw
around tlie occasion all the glamour
with which love can light the scene.
It again becomes our pleasure to chron
icle toe consummation of a happy
union of two confiding aud looting
hearts. At the Baptist Church, of this
city, on Tuesday morufiigat 10 o’clock,
Jane 15, Miss Florrie Willingham, of
this city, was joined in holy wedlock
to Rev. Wm. L. Pickard, of Louis
ville, Ky., Rev. M. B. Wharton, of
Montgomery, Alabama, officiating.
Long before the hour tor toe *«re-
mony toe uuuierous friends of toe pop
ular bride-elect repaired to tlie scene
of the wedding, and by half past nine
the charch was filled to overflowing
with the ettteof the city.
the decorations
at toe chareh were elaborate aud beau
tiful, and gave evidence of energy and
taste that reflected credit upon those
wtoose deft hands had so arfistically
twined the garlands of grace and beauty
that brightened the scene. Four mam
moth arches spanned the aisles; from
one hung toe marriage bell, and from
another depended the horse shoe of
“good luck,” while the floral designs
were unique and attractive, presenting
a beautiful blending of the magnolia,
rose, oleander and every other flower.
In season, of beauty and fragrance.
The cbancvl was appropriately decor
ated with graceful sprays of vine of
tender green; while in toe space, just
iu front, was erected an arch perfect
In its symmetry and covered with a
rich profusion of rare flowers. From
the apex of this arch was suspended an
umbrella of white and delicately pink-
shaded roses, symbolic of protection;
above this, two white doves, billing
and cooing, gracefully poised. At 10
o’clock ainid tlie inspiring music of a
wedding march, the ushers, friends to

was impressive and beantifnl, as are

and being confirmed by our Lord
Jesus wheu ou earth and commended
as honorable by the-Apostle?, he said,

After the ceremony and innumerable
congratulations of friends, the wedding
party took carriages for thede(X>t,* to
take the 12 o’clock train for Louisville,
Ky., toe objective point of the happy
twain, who carry with them the best
wishes of all for their future happiness.
Youus men.
Young men need the encourage
ment of older aud wiser heads at all
times. • But. especially at such .tryitag
crises as they have been forced through
during the past six years of depressing
experienced do they need counsel and
charity of their seniors.
There was a time when any_ young
man of average business ability, by the
exercise of economy aud industry,
could reasonably hope to accumulate a
snug competency in the space of ten
years of'houest effort. But the past
-decade has witnessed mauy seasons of
discouraging disappointments, and but
few auspicious beginnings have coded
in toe triumphs ot success. The fault
does uot lie in want ot judgment or
absence of industry and economy, but
is mainly attributable to a combination
of untoward circumstances. This has
special reference to our section, where
the agricultural interest, upon which
every other department of industry
depends, has failed most signally to
prosper. Still the temper of our
young men is manifested in nuflagging
energy and unabated confidence in the
proverb that “Perseverance and dili
gence will overcome all things.” We
commend thiscourageous falth.in work,
and w*e trust that a full fruition may
yet bless their manly efforts.
Success is not the only test of merit,
but defeat without dishonor often dis
covers shining qualities, as night brings
out toe stars. “Learn to labor and to
wait,” and let contentment, the relish
of life, season every enjoyment and
satisfy you with every lot. Patient
toil will reward you with some meas
ure of success, and though difficulties
should surround you it develope
strength in overcoming them. Like toe
g swimmer, buffeting the wave,
se by contending forces.

• -News reached the city hy the Brun
swick train on .Wednesday night that
B. W. Furlong shot Chuck Brock,
at Sniff, on Wednesday morning.
The News and Advertiser was un
able to get .full and reliable particulars
of the difficulty; but it seems that Fur
long owed Brock some money, and
that when the latter asked hiiri for it on
Wednesday morning hot words follow
ed. Furlong cursed Brock, using very
severe language, and when Brock
started to strike him Furlong drew his
pistol and shot him, the ball taking
effect in the abdomen.
One of the News and Advertiser’s
informants stated that Brock had a
monkey-wrench iu his hand, and an
other said he did not think he had any
thing. We give both statements with
out knowing which, or whether in fact
either, is strictly correct.
. It is th&ught that Brock will die.
Furlong .Is well known in Albany,
and Brock has been an engineer on toe
B. & W. Railroad, but was running as
fireman on a freight train on Wednes
day. He is a Brunswick pian,
and was carried home on Wednesday.

Watermelons.
All concede now that the bulk of the
melon crop will be late, and that by
reason of recent rains the different
melon sections will be more nearly to
gether in shipping than in auy previous
season. This will require a wide dis
tribution of car-- i ’ ’sure good returns.
There is no dative, of complete failure
to r-’lrie profits, if a judicious distrib-
utiop can be effected. There can
scarcely-ever be a more unfavorable
year than last on melons in toe mar
kets. The strikes, long standing aud
general dearth of money, the result of
the panic of che previous season, cool
and wet weather prevailing every
where, and tlie apprehension of chol
era, all of these causes operated to
greatly reduce consumption and lower
the price. Iu many markets that bad
in former seasons consumed from three
to five care per week’, a glut would be
tlie result of consigning two cars per
.week. These militating oaus?s de
pressed every branch of the business,
aud cohimis sion men realized difficul
ty In hagdling their consignments.
The outlook iu the markets present*
a more flattering prospect for the ap
proaching season, and commission men
everywhere are seeking correspondents
looking to secure shipments..
The work of the distributing agency
for the past two years lia9 resulted in
developing a great many markets in
which .melons never before found sale,
aud has largely increased the con
sumption by cultivating a taste for this
most delicious of all Southern fruits.
It has now grown so much in favor
and general use, that like apples of the
North, and oranges of Florida, melons
may. be chissed among toe necessities
of trade in season. The Georgia
melon stands first without a peer to
rival it In excellence* or in demand.
Among the numerous varieties raised
in Georgia none equals too celebrated
large, round, green, known as- the
Jones* melon. And no section is bet
ter, if so well, adapted to thelff growth
and perfect maturity as Dougherty,
Lee,’ Baker and Mitchell counties.
This melon had its origin in a few
miles of Albany, and bears the name of
a.large planter of this section.
The News and Advertiser has en
couraged toe planting of melons, be
lieving that they offered the most rea
sonable hope in dcverslfying crops, and
it is anxiously awaiting the result of
this season’s business, hoping for satis
factory results. But it would caution
the shippers to perfect their arrange
ments for the proper handling of their
product in the markets, aud watch
closely, lest too mauy may be con
