Graduations mt the williamston Female
College.
Mr.. EDITOR: On Friday afternoon. tie
7th inst at the regular time for elosis;x, tho
exercises for the day, DR.. Lander, President
of the Williamson Female College, an
nounced that two young ladies, Misses AL
exander and Prince, had completed the
course of study required for graduation,
and that he felt peculiar pleasure in pro-
nouncing them alumn1 Of the institution
This simple announcement, with few
other pertinent rem arks, and an appropriate
talk from the Rev. William Hutto, who
happened to be present, was the only dis
tinguishing feature of this Commencement
occasion.
We were debarred the pleasure of visit
ing the College Chapel Friday afternoon,
and consequently missed hearing the re-
marks of DIR. Lander and Mr.. Hutto. We
are informed, however, that tho Doctor
very tenderly reminded the two graduates
that they were about to step out intoa great
world Of which they knew comparatively
nothing. That to graduate-to get q Collie
giate education-was one thing; to use that
education Alright was another. That their
education must be used il they would keep
it or be benefited by it. That the William
ston Female College sends these young
ladies out with her seal upon them, and is
proud of them, but regrets to lose the daily
influence of their otudious habits and per-
feet department.
Rev. VIM. Hutto made few remarks Of
copgratulation and encouragement to the
young ladies, and reminded them of the
positive demands of the future upon them
as educated young womon.
These transformations exercises, brought
down to such fine point by DR.. Lander.
might occur. Us all who are acquainted with
the workings of the institution know, at
the end Of every section Of Ave weeks.
Every thing Is managed so quietly and sys
temnically, and 80 little fuss is made about
the matter of graduation, that outsiders
would know:nothing. about It but for the
town girls or day scholars incidentally mers
tioning 70 their parents and friends the
possibility of such an event. Indeed, so
thorough is the instruction and so rigid
and complete the system Of marking that
the candidate for graduation NO self. does
not know un.l the last bell Is rung II the
afternoon whether she has been successful
On these occasions stranger could OBJ
serve nothing to distinguish tho graduate
from tho undergraduate. Dressed in her
every day attire, she remains unnoticed at
her accustomed place, and goes through
with the regular calistiienic exercises even
aiter she has been declared graduate. =

Death of Hon. Henry Claiborne
Howell.

One OF The largest gatherings that
ever assembled around the grave of y
Pope county citlzsn, stood aroGsd the
grave OF lloa III. Clabe Howell of this
place, who died at about O'Clock, p.
NJ, On Saturday the 2lst inst, and WAS
buried with masonic honors at ! 30,
L. M, on Monday the 23d. His
death though surely expected, still fell
with powerful weight upon the whole
community. and many masons and citi-
zens from every quarter of the county
were in Attendance upon the last sad
rites to his memory.
Mr.. Howell was an old citizen of
the county, his father Rev. James
Howell, having moved from Hardin
county, KY, to this county and settled
ut NCri istown in 1910, when he was
about eleven years OF age. In 1857 al
the age OF twenty-elght lac went across
the plains to California with Il herd Of
cattle IN company with Mr.. James
Williamson aud Joe w. Bernard. Two
years later lie returned aud engaged

which he followed until the war came
up when he closed his business and
entered the confederate army ms cap
tain. His health falling he resigned
his commission in the army and return =
ed home in 1862 and shortly afterwards
married Miss Leonora A. Scott, daugh-
ter of Capt Jno. X. II, Scott OF Doyei,
who survives him.
In lSd3, under the perilous vicissi-
tudes of the war he went TO Texas and
there remaiued until its close, when he
returned to Dover ana again entered
the mercantile business at that place in
copartnership with Capt. Scott, his la
ther-in-law. In 1875 he formed co.
partnership with Mr.. G. r. Howell in
Russeliville, and about two years later
moved his family here aud has been an
honored citizen of the town ever since
up to the day OF his death. Soon after
he moyed here the firm of Howell q
Howell was changed, taking Mr.. II. r.
White. under the firm name OF Howell,
White & Co., as 1t now Is.
The fatal disease that laarked him a
victim had been nreying upon him at ia
tervals for u years, but his energy and
vitality fought back the disease aud
kept him III active business until about
the middle OF November. 1883, when he

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Political Circus-Rider
rrespondcnce Of the Democrat.


Mr.. Tobey is democrat because
he has never deserted democratic
principles. He is republican be-
cause democratic and republican
principles are the same. He is q
greenbacker because the principles
OF that party are embodied in the
democratic platform. He is an in
dependent man because no party
even $4,000 strong has right to en-
act principles to govern Mr.. Tobey.
Hence, if the democratic party wants
Mr. Tobey, let it give heed to his
ideas, take in his platform, nominate
Thurman and Seymour, then this
political philosopher will cast his
open ticket. On the other hand
however, as there is no difference
between democratic and republican
principles, and as Mr.. L. is true
democrat in principle (self judged J
he is also true republican; and as
the republican and democratic par
ties are the same, and both embody
the principles Of the greenback par
ty, it is evident therefore that Mr..
7. is q greenbacker; and as all these
parties are organized institutions,
and as Mr.. T. disclaims the right for
any set of men, though $4,000 strong
to meddle with his rights and liber-
ties of thought and action, it further
follows that In addition TO his being
a democrat, republican and green
baker, he is also an independent
hybrid politician. And as MI. I. is
true democrat, republican, green
hacker and at the same time an in
dependent hybrid politician; and as
the order known as B. of +. is com
posed of democrats, republicans,
greenbackers and Independents,
among each Of whom he is one, it
will be inferred that Mr.. L. is ex-
actly the man to suit the whole con-
Germ, and would represent in the
next Legislature their varied inter
ests and manner OF thinking without
blot or bIunder. Hear him, "What
is democratic principles to-day2"
"As to myself, says he, Its no Goa
sequence what have been, have a
right TO say for myself what politi-
cal principles consider democratic"
He is opposed to delegated authori-
ty, and as far as he is democrat he
will act In person, as far as he is a
republican be will act by person, as
far as an independent hybrid politi-
elan is concerned he will act by,
through, and for person. He is en-
phatioally a man of the LIST person
singular No., hut owing to his great
powers of abstraction, cam resolve
himself into more different attitudes
and still maintain his personal iden-
tity than any man on record.

Sickness comes unlimited. and strong

means to restore their health and

they felt they had an assured lease.

In ell good conscience and with great

back IN 1850, and ut an early day post
master at Norristown, at all times he
was largely responsible in shaping the
current of public affairs in the county.
In the fall of 1880 he was elected to the
Legislature and made a record surpass-

Sanhe(lrin Notes.

The political department OF the b.
OF +. though small, seems obstinate.
The B. Of +. are glorying in their
fluctuations which judging from the
amount of clamor they raise must be
great indeed.
Several dead b. of F. candidates
are scattered about in different Sec
tions of the county. We are in favor
of Congress putting them on the re-
tired list with a pension.
The traveller who passed Mt. Enon
Saturday and mistook that meeting
for republican mass meeting should
be hunted down. No such insinua.
ton should be allowed to pass un
noticed by the sensitive brethren.
1t seems to be war to the knife
between the B. Of f. political ele.
ment and the democrats. 1t is a
disagreeable necessity to snow them
under but it will have to be done.
We look for some of the hottest
times in the political world in the
near future that this country has
ever witnessed since this country
has been country.
We predict weeping. walling and
gnashing of teeth among the candi-
dates before the coming canvass is
half over. 1t will be the days that
tries candidates souls and the worst
Of 1t is that all who endure to the
end cannot be saved.
1t is truly wonderful to see such
great number of self sacrificing
heroes in the political department
Of the b. of f. These true patriots
who want to spill their devoted
blood rushing into the phalanx Of
the democrats can do so. If sell
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and love of office was
taken away we fear the number
would be fearfully diminished.
