the complaint be made openly thro' the paper, and not in that round about way which is calculated te iniure us. We are always ready to hear complaints and to make correc- tions where an injustice has been done.
 Young men and ladies of Pope county who wish to make their mark in this world should remember that there are three vacant scholarships in the benficiary department and four in the normal department of the A.

how true are the lines of the old T English poet who said:

EllSiiSH poet WHO Sdlu.
 Could by grasping reach the poles, And take the ocean in span;
 I'd still be measured by the rule,
 The miud is the statue If the man.
 l am glad that it is my happy priv ilege to be able to congratulate you upor continued and increasing pros perity; and now in thls hour, amid all the joyous emotions of success, of hope, of ambition incident to the oc- casion, before these witnesses attest ing their deep concern in your inter- ests, what words shall be uttered. what councils are most suitable, and how can I contribute in some slight degree to your future usefulness, happiness and honor?
 And now, Ladies, to you who have figured so conspicuously and success fully in.this field of labor, do I feel disposed especially today to address.
 1t must be remembered, However, that we live in an age bold in reject ing the established maxims of ven- erable antiquity. An age unscrupu- lous in bursting the airy bubbles of prejudice ard substituting in their stead the logical deductions of reas- on and common sense.
 Foremost among these maxlms was the so-called incapabilty of wo- man to ofiiciate in this field of labor. The English parliament recognizing her competency in this respect she has been entitled to all the educa- tional advantages which the Univer- sities of Oxford and Cambrige afford.
 The first thinkers of the world now hold that she is peculiarly adapted to discharge successfully tie responsibilities of this calling. But absorbed in the contemplation of the achievements of man, we are in danger of discrediting entirely the extent of woman's influence and the execution of her intended designs in this modern reformation.
 But if the present and the past be any criterion by which to judge of the future, then may it be safely cal SQiettCb Uustb 1Oul lHhuSiOC III Uut next half century will develop in i'm provements and discoveries sufficient to astonish and overpower even the spirit of credulity itself. Already, ladies, you may be able to look forth from the dark and embryo of years, and feeling your inherent power to soar, plume yourselves for your more elevated and upward flight, where you may take a bound less view of the things that are to be hereafter Urged on by the ever restless spirit of progress the march of Sunday School enterprise and the advancement of religion are both marvellous and sublime. i.
 Gifted by inheritance, as you are, with all the attributes necessary to win the confidence, the admiration and love of all with whom you come in contact. Tlfus endowed we say it is easy to imagine how readily you may win the confidence and lib- eral assistance of all those who de- light to honor you in this field of labor; and with your high minds and big hearts you will certainly do much to mould and direct this new civilization which is being developed with such marvellous rapidity in this young but powerful commonwealth.

The Concert.

The citizens of our town who at tended the Concert last Friday night were, we believe, generally well pleased with the evenings enter tainment.
 . There were about one hundred tickets sold, and the receipts from sales of cake, lemonade, ice cream, &c., swelled the receipts to some thing like Seventy Dollars
 The programme was as follows: Music-Instrumentai.
 Prayer
 Overture By Ladies and Gentle
 men.
 Tableau-Homage to the Genius. Duett-( Concert Hall Cotillion) Ed
 die and Charlie Shinn. Tableau-( Flora.
 Chorus of Jews-By Children. Tableau-( (Three Graces.} Sunrise Schottisch-(Duett) Mir. C..
 Shinn.
 Diamonds and the Toad-By Chil-
 dren.
 Gipsy Countess-( Vocal Duett) Miss
 Davis and Mr. J. H. Shinn. The Four Seasons-( Lutz) Spring,
 Mrs. Moseley; Summer, Miss Belle Davis; Autumn, Mrs. Hill;
 Winter, Mir. c. w. Shinn. The Two Cousins-( Vocal Duett)
 Mrs. Moseley and Miss Davis Mir. and Mrs. Jones-( Vocal Duett)
 Miss Pruitt and MT. c. w. Shinn. Gently Sighs the Breeze Vocal Duett) by Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Wilson,
 and Mrs. Barrow.
 The tableaux were all well done, but the Three Grace seemed to be received with more favor than any other.
 The manner in which the Four Seasons was enacted rendered it one of the best pieces of the evening. In justice to some of the performers (although none of them need any apologies offered for the manner in which they performed their parts we may add that they had only from Wednesday morning until Friday night to prepare. Among this mum Der was the principal actor in the piece entitled "Diamonds and the Toad;" which piece, notwithstand- ing this disadvantage, was credita- bly, done. For first effort we pro nouncc the whole programme well done, although, of course, not quite so we'll done but that a close criti- cism would disclose some few imper lections. We trust now that the ice is broken in this direction we shall be favored by frequent enter tainments of thls kind by the ladies and gentlemen who have shown tLat they are capable of giving really creditable entertainments of this kind.

MR. EDITOR: 1 will give you a few lines from Shiloh. We are hay ing a few chills and fever now. Crops are looking fine; there will be a fine chance of corn made in this neighborhood.
