A Sensible Charity.

Early last winter number of ladies,
consisting of Mrs. b. K. Bruce, Mrs. s. A.
Martin, Mrs. John +. Cook, Mrs NJ. +. Otey,
Mrs d. W. Atwood, Mrs. II. w. Lee, Mrs. j.
II. Meriwether, Miss NJ. b. Briggs, and others,
organized an industrial institute for tho
purpose of affording an opportunity for
young girls among the colored people of tho
district to learn how to sew, and to do such
other work as the board of managers might
from time to time bo enabled to employ
teachers to instruct them in.
For several months past sessions Of this
institute have been held in two rooms of one
of the public school buildings. The instruc-
tions have been mainly confined to sewing
under thoroughly competent teacher but
the ladies are desirous of extending the in-
structions to cooking and such other work as
will make good housekeepers. With this
view an entertainment will be given on
Friday evening June 90, ut Arnory hall, on
street, near Seventh street northwest, SO
that all the friends of this noble enterprise
can assist and encourage the ladies by their
patronage The entertainment will be of
the most Interesting character, consisting of
instruBehtal and vocal music, recitations,
reading, and an amusing farce entitled,
"Dsut Judge by Appearance" Miss Moten,
principal of Miner normal school, will su-
fperintend the performance of tho farce, and
it will no doubt be we'll performed.

The Deficiency Bnl--connsoutlon Clause.


In the deficiency bill, just como up to tho
senate section decrees the conf scation of
genuine allowances, which only need to be
applied for at the treasury to be made up and
reported to congress for appropriation. The
act of 1873 is all that is needed.
If claims are indisputable, why should they
not be passed whenever they como in Z?
Through human in6rmity, and other causes,
rights will never al be pleaded when they
might be, nor can everybody be cured of i'm.
plicitly trusting tho government with their
money. Often officers, sailors, soldiers, and
other persons, are not aware that they possess
lawful dues and demands. Why should they
find them confscated2 Why not as well
confscate unpresented coupons or the un-
claimed interest in the treasury? To forever
bar-strip the public creditor-just because
he does not happen to present his credit, is
the most surprising measure that the house
has sent up to the senate for some time. Con-
gress is already overburdened with private
relief bills. This broad sweep of confsca-
tion and reputation would aggravate the
trouble, besides placing the government in
tho position of prince OF embez2lers, ifsit de-
clares that the mere fact of retaining IL per-
sons money for one year, or at farthest, five
years, conters perfect title. Il.

Tcrrelrs First Bale.

True to our prediction, Mr.. w
H. Turner's wagon drove into
town on last Thursday afternoon
brlnging|Terrell's first bale of new
cotton. 1t was notunexpected for
the reason that the Journal had
just announced on the same morn
ing that such an event was likely
to transpire. It was driven to the
warehouse OF Hood Il Paschal.
dumped off and placed upon the
scales at once to be weighed. 1t
leveled the beam at 374, and after
thorough inspection by orr several
buyers and warehousemen, it was
pronounced to be q bale of beauti-
full middling cotton. And we de-
sire to remark, too, that this was
no immature bale of cotton, but
picked, ginned and packed after
the burs had burst open through no
other influence than that of natural
causes. On the following morn
ing, a crowd having assembled at
the warehouse, Mr.. w. n. Thorn
ton mounted the bale and said that
he was authorized to sell it to the
highest bidder, and he wanted it
understood that it was not green
cotton, but perfectly mature in
every particular, claiming that it
was Georgia's second new bale.
"What shall I hear offered for
this bale Of cotton?" The bidding
was quite spirited for few mo-
ments and ran as follows: 90
10y 100 129-13-134- 13t-
l33-14-14i-14aa -1433 Is, and
gone to j. r. Mercer"
Mr.. Mercer having bought the
cotton at Is cents per pound, put
it upon the passenger train and
shipped it at once to Atlanta.
Mr.. w. H. Turner is one of
Terrelps most enterprisipg farmers
and he is clearly entitled to the
distinction of being recognized as
our FIRST bale man."

The 18th Ga. Reg't.

A reunion Of this gallant old
regiment has been arranged to
take place in Griffin on the 10Th
of this month, and the surviving
members are earnestly entreated
to be present. It will be re1nem-
bered that the 18th Ga. was COM
manded by Col. Marcellus Doug
las, of Cuthbert, who was killed at
the battle Of Sharpsburg in '62.
This regiment formed a part of
Gordon's brigade, one of the most
gallant commands that was ever
led into battle. In the 18th Ga.
was company made up in part
from Terrell, of which Capt. VIM.
Kaigler, of this city, was the com
handing officer. Capt. Kaigler is
now the only surviving member
known to be living in our county,
and no doubt will be present at
the reunion. During the last two
years Of the war, Capt. Kaigler
was detached from his regiment
and placed in command Of Cor
don's Sharpshooters, a position
which he held with great distinc-
ton to himself and his command.
1t was this command that had the
honor of firing the last shot that
was ever fred by Lees army, and
the name of Kaigler and his de-
voted braves will go down to his
tory never to be forgotten by a
grateful people.

Death of Mrs. Julia l.. Raglan.


Life has pitiful tale to tell
when sorrow enters once happy
household by the death of those
who, as inmates Of that home,
gladdened beautiful home-life
with their sweet presence, but who
to-day are quietly sleeping in their
graves. Hardly had the dew mois-
tened the new made grave of
young Terrell Raglan when his de-
voted mother, Mrs. Julia L. Raglan,
too, was called to die. This most
estimable woman died at Bron-
wood on last Sunday, aged 50
years, relict Of the late DR.. Spann
Raglan. She bore her su1erings
patiently, and with christian res
ignation she met the last enemy,
death, triumphantly, feeling that
she would have part in the first
resurrection. Mrs. Ragan's ex-
ample was such that life and light
only grew brighter when she dis
pensed to those around her the at
tributes of her gentle and kindly
nature, and her memory will be
rich legacy to those who knew her
and loved her in this life. The
cruel hand of disease still rests
upon some OF that once happy
household and prayers are now
ascending from many lips that
God will in His mercy temper this
painful dispensation Of His to His
glory and the well being of the
stricken ones.

LllndY Academy.

One of the best teachers in the
county is Mrs. Y. V. Hammond.
She has been teaching during the
year at the Lundy Academy and
her patrons are universally pleas
ed with her management of the
school and hope to secure her SER
vices again for another term. On
last Friday Mrs. Hammond closed
her school with a public examina-
ton, which we learn was highly
creditable to herself and classes.
Her patrons were all out to wit
ness the examination and they
speak of it in the highest terms of
praise. At noon a nice picnic
dinner was spreadupo the grounds
and all present agree in saying
that it was one of the most enjoy
able occasions they ever attend
ed. The examination was contin-
ued again in the afternoon and
kept up until all the pupils were
thoroughly and sufficiently exam
ined. The most pleasing part Of
the programme, however, came off
at night in the way of an exhibit
ton, which was complete success
in every particular. The Messrs.
Prince and Ferguson Brothers
furnished music for the occasion
and everybody was charmed with
the evenings entertainment. The
exhibition opened with drill, or
march, upon the part of the whole
school, which was very attractive
indeed. There were a number of
compositions read, among whom
we mention Misses Bette Hay,
Lula Landy, Georgia Lundy,
Gertha Kennedy, Sallie Lunday
and Fannie Durham. Miss Bet
tie Hay was awarded q handsome
prize. One of the prettiest rendi-
tons of the evening was that of a
speech by little Susie Livingstone,
who was also awarded a nice prize.
Among the boys who delivered
speeches were Masters Leroy
Hammond, Wright Kennedy,
Linwood Lundy, Hardie Ham
mond and others. When little
Wright Kennedy came out, dress
ed in female apparel and imper-
sonated "Dinah" in a dance, ii
brought the whole house down in
applause. A speech by Hardie
Hammond, dressed in female ap-
parel, also, met with a storm Of
applause. Among other prize:
distributed, Master Leroy Ham
mond received one for the bes
grafton. The exhibition was one
of the best that has ever takel
place in the county, and the pat
rons of the school are lavish il
their praise OF Mrs. Hammond a
teacher.
