ers around this "old concentrated
ground" feel cheerful. The pros
pect for an abundant harvest is
promising. We have been blessed
with rain this week. Farmers are
in high spirits. Some few have fin
ished setting tobacco. Ifseasons con-
tinue full crop will be planted by
the 18th of June. Wheat is very
good in this section. The yield will
be about three fOurths, if nothing
happens to it from now until har-
vest time. Corn is looking well.
The prospect for peaches is good,
but appels will be scarce, both win
ter and summer varieties.

The people of this vicinity are
most through planting corn, but,
owing to the wet weather in April,
the crop was put in in a very bad
condition, and as consequence, we
have very bad stand. We will
fail to make a good crop under any
consideration. We had very fine
rain in this section on the 1st, and
the farmers are about half done
planting tobacco. l learn however,
that the rain was not general and
did not extend further north than
DR.. Rogers. Should we have sea-
sons in time, there will be a large
acreage of the tweed" this year.

The wheat crop is very promising
though the acreage is very small.

If there is anything GAINESVILLE
has cause to be proud of it is her
public schools. These, under the
most capable and efficient superin-
tendency of Prof. Perkins, and his
intelligent and competent corps of
teachers, have prospered, during
the session which has just closed, to
a marvellous degree, and to-day
stand the pride and ornament of
our city. A person vino had never
visited these institutions, should ne
step into either the white or coIored
school building during recitation
hours, would be perfectly charmed
and amazed at the wonderful work
ings of the ''graded SYSTEM" and
the case and smoothness with
which three or four hundred pupils
are heard daily in all their differ
ent branches of study. The deport-
ment of the scholars is-most perfect,
and from the deep interest and
pleasure they all seem to take in at
tending the schools, it may be in
ferred that they learn rapidly. The
closing exercises of these schools
came off on yesterday, but owing to
the time at which we go to press,
we cannot give full account of the
proceedings. The colored depart
ment of the school held its closing
exercises in Elders Opera-house ON
Thursday night, at which the
largest gathering of colored people
we ever remember to have seen in
the house were present. A great
many white friends of the schools
were also on hand. We will try to
give some account of these exer-
cises next week.

The Eclipse Stables New Features.
We have already spoken to our
readers Of the new livery enterprise
which has lately been started in our
city by two wide-awake and enter
prising business men, Messrs. Turn
ley and Gill, but we wish to call es-
pecial attention to the several new
features when Tney nave inaugural
ted in the livery business in this
city. These are a special depart
ment removed from the rest of the
stable, where ladies from the coun-
try, or at a distance, or those of the
city, who wish a place to dismount
and have their horses attended to
and fed, can do so, and where they
Will find nice parlor where they
may arrange their toilets. This de-
partment we know cannot fail to be
patronized and to meet the wants of
ladies visiting town. They also
have fine new hack which they
have just bought and which they
keep especially for the use of ladies
who wish to make calls, or to drive
to points of interest about the city.
These gentlemen also keep always
on hand a full line of buggies, hacks
driving and saddle horses, new and
in good trim. superior to many,

WE hear great deal of COM
plant around town from parties
who have had their dogs poisoned.
1t is very unpleasant and veXa-
tious thing for a person to be
troubled and harassed by vicious
and proving dog; but at the same
time, it is nothing but right aud
justice that the poison should be adj
ministered to that dog alone, and
not throw it broadcast about the
town to destroy valuable and costly
dogs. There is an injustice in this
indiscriminate slaughter that no
fair-minded person can fail to APP
preciate. Let it be stopped.

A CARD.


I desire to state that my connec-
ton with the colOred school exhibi-
tion began and ended with prepar-
ing the cantata and few other
songs.
After the performance closed, a
friend told me of the intlammatOry,
and otherwise objectionable, speech
made by one of the pupils. This
was the first inlIling had of it. 1t
was then too late for me to disclaim
its sentiments, or to explain that /
was wholly irresponsible for its
place on the program. l did not
sit in the audience room, where /
could hear, and was SO preOccupied
behind the scenes in preserving
order and preventing confusion,
likely to arise at such times, that
1 heard nothing of the speech as re-
CARDS its subject matter, as did not,
indeed, of scarcely any other per-
fOrmance.
l am much mortified over the
speech alluded to, whose sentiments
must have been offensive to cOlored
people as well as to whites.
My duties as superintendent of
several hundred childen force me
sometimes to leave many of the de-
tails in the hands of other teachers,
as was done in this exhibition.
r. PERKINS, Supt.
Thursday night, June 8, 81.
Since receiving the above expla-
nation. we have been informed that
none of the teachers are responsible
for the Objectionable character OF
the speech, us the one delivered was
quite different from that exhibited
to the principal before the exhibit
ton.
