Work and Show Realty
and Personal Values
of $4,345,081.72.
The>33rd annual commencement
of the North Georgia Agricultural
College at Dahlonega came to a
close last Wednesday. In many
ways this was one of the, most
successful and interesting com
mencement occasions in the his
tory of the college.
The exercises began x with the
champion debate on Friday even
ing, June 2nd., between repre
sentatives of the Phi Mu and De
cora Literary societies. The sub
ject was: “Resolved, that Mary,
Queen of Scots, was unjustly ex
ecuted.”
The Decoras, Messrs. Wiley and
Burgess, championed the affirma
tive, while the negative was ably
represented by the £hi Mus,
| City Assessors W. A. Miller,
J. B.Mundy and S. B. Carter have
finished their work and have
turned over their books to the
city council. Their books show
in increase in realty values of
$160,685.00, and a gain in person
al values of $150,386.84, or, a
total gain in both of $311,071.84.
The realty returns by wards is
as follows: First ward, $902,845;
Second ward, $939,765; Third
ward, $988,200; The total realty

total personal values was $1,363,-
Revival at St. Paul Closes
Tonight.
The meeting at St. Paul is still
in progress. Mr. Nunn, the pas
tor, is doing the preaching this
week. Rev. Mr. Benson, after
preaching for seven or eight days,
left for his home at Washington,
Monday. The meeting will close
to-night. Twenty-four have join
ed. The congregations haye been
good,, particularly at night. It
is estimated that a hundred or
more failed to get in the church
for lack of room last Sunday
night a week ago. Last Sunday
night every seat was taken and
many chairs were used. Mr.
Nunn will receive the class of new
members to-night, Wednesday. '

Rev. George W. Young, D. D.,

league, spoke at the First Baptist
church Sunday morning and at
the first Methodist church Sunday
night to large congregations. Mr.
J. B. Richards, general secretary,
spoke at Central Baptist church at

As is always the case, there
was an abundance of choice bar

than enough to go ’round. Col
Howard Thompson, a natural
born cook, had his force of help
ers at work early in the day and
the night previous, and every
thing was “browned to a turn.”
Willing hands were there in the
persons of Ben Landers,; Ben
Whelchel, George Walker, Joe
Davis and others, to see that
everybody had all they wanted—
and a “leetle” more.

The picnic was undoubtedly one
of best—-if not the best
held by the Newman Club.
one of the best debates in many
years the decision was rendered
in favor of the affirmative.
The commencement sermon by
Dr. J. J. Bennett, of Atlanta, was
notable. His subject: “The Echo
of Life,” was handled in a mas
terly and scholarly way. He was
greeted by a large audience whom
he held spell-bound for more than
an hour;
The declamation contests: Third
preparatory class on Monday
morning, freshman class on Tues
day morning and the sophomore
class on Tuesday evening were all
of high, rank and reflected honor,
both on the institution and on
themselves.
An interesting feature of the
exercises was a comic drama,
“The Gipsy Queen,” which was
beautifully rendered on Monday
evening by members of the stud*-
ent-body.
The prize drill contest between
“A” and “B” companies of the
cadet batalion was an interesting
event on Monday afternoon. “A”
company was commanded by Ca
det Capt. H. L. Baker, of Atlanta;
“B” company by Cadet Capt. G.
L. Bynum, of Clayton. The referee
was Lieut. Atkins, of the Univer
sity of Georgia. After a spirited
drill and on a close margin the
prize, a handsome saber, was
awarded to Captain Baker, of “A”
company
therefore, that the increase in
the personal returns is but $10,-
279.00 less than the increase
in realty returns.
The increase in realty is a very
good one, and shows that Gaines

Unveiled Monuments.
At Alta Vista cemetery Sunday
afternoon, Oak Camp, Woodmen
of the World, unveiled monumer 1 *
to two of their departed brothers,
Messrs. H. L. finger and S. W.
Davidson. Quite a crowd assemb
led arid the exercises were inter
esting and appropriate.
Experimental Street Work.
Col. W. I. Hobbs and other resi
dents on Boulevard will shortly
make some experiments on that
popular thoroughfare with coal
tar or road oil to abate the dust
nuisance on the street. As in
other parts of the cily, the dust
has been well-nigh unbearable on
that street recently, and the resi
dents propose to try and get rid
of it by taring the street. Their
experiments should prove profit
able to the whole citizenry of the
city.
What Can Be Done
Grafting.
With
Mr. W. E. Blackshear brought
to the News office this weeklsome
specimens of grafted stock from
the Ashford Park Nurseries, where
Mr. I; D. Hudgins, a former Hall
county man, is director of the
work. Among the things shown
was an English pea grafted on
bush, showing the peas wel^nigh
matured. Also, a Keifer pear

If in some way 55,000 Middle
West farmers could be induced to

would have no terrors for the
state, for with the advent of the
farmers understanding the grow
ing of corn, cereals, etc., the
wealth of Georgia would not be
measured by any one crop but
would be divided among several.
Diversified crops in Georgia
means the development of cattle
industries, which, with the elimi
nation of the tick, would mean
great wealth for this state.
Every citizen of this country
should take an interest in this

was a great success.
The graduating exercises on
Wednesday were impressive and
of a high order. The orations de
livered represented both talent
and training and were on topics
of live interest.
The baccalaureate address by
Chancelor David C. Barrow, of
the university, was able and sim
ple, discussion of education in
Georgia. He referred to educa
tional situations in general but he
came back home and said that it
was the Georgia boy and girl that
he was interested in, He showed
that in education we have the so
lution of our problems.
The board or trustees left the
matter of discipline entirely in the
hands of Dr. Glenn, who will re
main at the head of the institution,
and his faculty. Athletics was
reinstated in the college.
Prof. Ash, who has been princi
pal of the public schools in Dah
lonega, was elected an adjunct
professor in the agricultural col
lege. Prof. B. C. Ansted was
elected to the chair of French and
pecan grafted on hickory, this
latter yielding pecans the third
year. Other interesting things
are shown, proving that Mr
Hudgins is really a “wizard of the
bush.” A considerable amount
of grafting has been done in this
community by the Ashford Park
people, resulting in muph success
These experiments are exceedingly
interesting and are indicative
of what great developments may
be looked for in this line of work
in the near future.
