Tribute to RI. Eskew Batson.

The CollinsviIle church was crowded to-
day by citizens who met to attend the fune-
raj obseuuies of Eskew BatsOn, an estima-
BILE young man who died yesterday. He was
buried yesterday with Masonic hOnorsr and
you are requested to publish the following
tribute to his memory.
At a called meeting of McAllister Lodge
No. 4O2 Free and Accepted Masons the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were I'M
animousIy adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to
take from us our beloved brother r. Z. Bat
son, June l, 1879, aged 28 years and
Whereas, Bro. Batson has by his fidelity
to the principles of our order endeared HIM
self to the brotherhood, and
Whereas, he has, moreover, endeared him
self to this whole community by his upright,
orderly and consistent course as an humble
follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the
very great interest he has taken in the in
struction of children, both in the Sabbath
school al Collinsville, of which he was su-
perintendent, and in his own schoOl-roOm.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we bow submissively to
| this seemingly dark dispensatiOn of Gods
will, knowing that he doeth all things well,
and that we, his sOrrowing brothers, will try
/ to initiate his example, and follow his foot
| steps.
| Resolved, that we tender to the bereaved
| family our heartfelt sympaty in this their
| sad bereavement.
| Resolved, That we wear the usual badge
| of mourning for thirty days, and that copy
| of these resolutions be spread upon the min
| utes of our Lodge, and a copy presented 10
| the family of our deceased brother, and that
| they he printed in the GAINESVILLE ChrOn-

rhe University ReorEanlzed.

The organization of the Southwestern
Presbyterian University has now superseded
that of the old Stewart College and arrange
ments made for earryingit on as classified
in the several distinct schools or depart
ments Of learning. The details of these sub
divisions win be specified when the annual
catalogue Of the University is published; we
shall confine ourselves at present to notice
ofthe personnel added to the faculty under
the new organization.
The new Chancellor is the Rev. j. r.
waddel, D. D., Ii. d. DR.. Waddel is both
by inheritance and by lifelong services in
that capacity an educator of the highest
class. His father was Principal of a once
famous school in the Abbeville District,
South Carolina, when schools cultivated
higher grade of scholarship than is now at
tanned in many an institution bearing the
higher sounding tile of University. The
names of Calhoun and McDuffie, Hayne
and Legare among his scholars are sufficient
to attest the deep impression made by his
teachings upon the intellect Of South Caro-
lima. His son, our present Chancellor, was
long known and revered as the President of
the University of Mississippi at Oxford in
that State. When the interference of the
carpet-bag dynasty made the place intoi-
cradle to a Southern man he resigned, and
has since been known as the Secretary of
the Board of Education of the Presby terrain
Church South. His degree of LII. d. was
conferred upon him by the University OF
Georgia, and is rare distinction, as that
institution has been very chary in the dis
tribution of its hOnors; only seven men In
seventy years have been honored by it with
the degree mentioned. DIR. Waddel's great
learning and ripe experience in education
render him an invaluable acquisition to the
faculty of our now completely organized
University.
The Rev. c. r Hemphill is appointed
Professor of Ancient Languages. This gen.
tleman has been teacher of Hebrew in the
Theological Seminary and is now Fellow in
the Department of Languages of the new
John Hopkins University of Maryland.
Report speaks in high terms of his attain
ments in ancient literature.
The remaining chairs are filled by gentle
men already well known in GAINESVILLE by
their scholastic and social qualities, and we
are satisfied that the high qualifications of
the faculty as now constituted viii ensure
to the s. w. Presbyterian University a
career worthy of the good beginning it has
made under the humber title of Stewart
College

1.-THE termination of Miss Emma Haynes
last school, which was on last Friday, she
again favored the public with one of her
most excellent examinations, but having
been denied the great pleasure of attending,
we will only give in brief language some of
the premiums which were awarded to those
who stood highest in scholarship, penman-
ship, department and punctual attendance,
as they were afterwards related TO us, and
enter upon the subject of the grand concert
at night. The contest was strong between
little Jimmie Haynes and Ernest Horn dur
ing a recitation in Pinneo's grammar, first
part. It was thought that the judges could
not decide, but alas, Jimmie having been
somewhat confused, one single question was
aslxed him, and IL had entirely escaped his
memory, and the premium was then
awarded TO his rival schoolmate. A beauti-
ful picture Of "Home, Sweet Home" was
awarded 10 little Miss Rosa Rawlings for
perfect department. Miss Hattie Haynes
for punctual attendance received beautiful
book. aGrina's Fairy Tales" Pugh Haynes
also received a very nice book for the great

The Board met on Thursday night, its reg
ular time. At roll-can a good many alb
sentees were recorded, but highly respect
able attendance was present.
The Committe ON Canal was given further
time to report, its Chairman being absent.
The Gas Committee reported that the con-
ference in regard TO lighting the streets had
been deferred to wait for an expected visit
from Mr.. Hopper, President of the company.
Committee on Empire, GAINESVILLE &
Nashville Railroad reported by Capt. era
cey, its Chairman, that the Nashville bust
ness men are much interested, and that the
population along the line are all alive ex-
cept in Montgomery county, where they
need stirring up. If this county will take
stock amounting to 5000 per mile on all of
the road within the county, its construction
is a certainty.
Transportation Committee. Chairman
not present. Capt Gracey said that the
schedule of the L. & \. Is favorable to peO-
Dle in town, but unfavOrable to people Wis
iting GAINESVILLE from the North. He
recommended that a paper be prepared by
the Board upon the subject which should be
personally laid before the President of the
road by an influential member Of the COM
mittee. A motion to that effect was unani-
mOusly carried.
Capt. Gracey, when new business was in
order, brought up the question of sewerage,
maintaining that it was logical sequence
of water-works, without which the latter
were productive of mischief. He moved Tor
a committee to consider and recommend
plan for the sewerage of the city.
DIR. Wright urged that whatever may be
done in this matter should be done from the
first and at every step under the direction
of an expert. Hygiene as applied to sewer
age was a new science within the last five or
six years, and sewers constructed without
reference to it's laws have been a fruitful
cause of sickness wherever they have been
made.
. Committee appointed-Capt. F. P. Gracey,
DIR. d. F. Wright and f. Fl. Lewis, Esq.
Mr.. HerndOn brought up the subject of
plumbing In reference to the water-worBs,
which he complained had been made a
monopoly by the company bringing man
here and refusing to give connection unless
he and he only was employed. This, he
said, gave him the power of charging what
ever he pleased, while the citizen was
unjustly deprived of the right to get work
done in his own house, where it could be
done best and cheapest.
Mr. Faxon explained that the company
had receded from their first position and
had consented that the plumbing should be
done by any competent man.
The time of meeting was changed from
the first Thursday TO the second Tuesday in
he month.

teacher, will take place in St. Peters Chapel
on Wednesday next, the 18th inst. We are
able from personal cognizance TO state that
there is not a more efficient colored teacher
in the State than DIR. White; he and his
assistants have brought the eolored schools
to n state of efficiency which can boldly
challenge comparison with that of any sim
liar institution in the State. We bespeak a
full attendance on this occasion. Those who
have not given attention to the matter will
be surprised at the proficiency and good
order of the establishment.
