A Singular Case

Mr.. Leroy Brown, at one time a
resident of this city and now of
Calhoun, has been in dying con-
dition for more than two weeks.
During Tuesday of court week, it
was thought that he was dying
and would be dead in few min
utes. Under those circumstances
his coffin was ordered, bought and
carried to his home where it has
been kept since, his attendants ex
pecting his death at any moment.
But strange to say, at this writing,
he is still living. Mr.. Brown is
affected with that deadly and
loathsome disease, cancer, having
at least four upon the different
parts of his body. His suffering
has been almost beyond the endu-
rance of human power for several
months, and, no doubt, it will be a
relief to him when the messenger
of death comes and cuts the slen-
der cord that now binds him to
this earth.

Owen Nelson Institute.
PROF. LOWREY RETIREs.

While our absence from the city
precluded the possibility of our
presence at the closing exercises
OF the Owen Nelson Institute last
week, we have heard the recitations
OF the classes so frequently and
loudly applauded by those who
were present that we feel it in
cumbent upon us to make some
public mention of them.
One year ago, Prof. Lowrey was
besought by a considerable num-
Der of our citizens to resume his
position as teacher. After much
hesitation he very reluctantly con-
scented to do so, which resulted in
the opening of the above institu-
ton. At the closing exercises of
his school last week, he gave a
public examination, to which ev-
erybody was cordially invited. We
learn from those who attended
that the pupils acquitted them
selves with much credit, and, all,
speak of Prof. Lowrey's manage
ment in the highest terms of plaise
and deeply regret that he has de-
termined to retire from the school.
That Prof. Lowrey is one of the
very best instructors in the state
goes without saying, and there are
very many who believe that he can
subserve the interest of his coun-
try to better advantage in the
school-room than in any other po-
sition he can occupy. Col j. G.
Parks who was present at the ex-
animation of some Of the classes
says: 81 was much pleased with
the proficiency of Prof. Lowrey's
pupils. They evinced the fact
that they had been we'll tutored
and all acquitted themselves with
marked credit" The Col. contin-
ued, 81 was especially we'll pleas
ed with the evidences of rare schol-
arship [ found Miss Alice Lowrey
to possess" Said he, II examin-
ed her myself IN Latin and Trigo-
nometry and never saw a young
lady whom I regard more thor
-ough in these studies than she"
We learn from Prof. Lowrey that
during the past year, Miss Alice
has completed Cicero, Horace and
Tacitus, going through the entire
course Of latin usually taught in
our highest schools. Besides re-
viewing the arithmetic, she has
also completed Robinson's Uni
versity Algebra, Geometry and
Trigonometry, Plain and Spherical.
Miss Alice Lowrey is a young la
dy of rare talents and we predict
for her a brilliant future. We are
sorry that we could not have been
present at the closing exercises of
this school, and, in conclusion,
shall wish the children, one and
all, happy vacation.

COLLEGE EXERCISES.

AS we go to press before the
college exercises will have been
completed, and as we desire to
give them in detail, beginning with
Monday morning and ending with
Wednesday night, and as they will
necessarily occupy q great deal of
space, we have been compelled to
omit them until our next issue. In
the meantime we must say that
the exercises have been very brilli-
ant from beginning to end. The
hall has been literally packed
with people the entire week, and
everybody has been thrilled and
delighted with the unexceptional
success which has crowned the
efforts of pupils and teachers. We
regard the entertainments which
have been given at the college this
year as far superior to anything
OF the kind that we have ever seen
there on any previous occasion,
and, so far as our observation ex-
tends, this is the universal verdict
of all who have attended. Not
withstanding the week has been
one of almost continued rain, the
immense crowds have poured in
from all directions, filling the hall
to overlooking both day and night.
1t will be a week in the history of
our town long to be remembered
for its gayeties and many pleas
ures. The number of visitors
have been unusually large, and,
without exception, they have seem
ed to enjoy the week to the fullest
extent. Lookout in the next
weeks Journal for full detail of
the entire programme.

A MODEL FARM.

Is that of our fellow-townsman,
DR.. r. G. Jones. In company
with Mr.. L. A. Lowrey and Capt.
I. NJ. Jones, the Doctor invited US
to ride out with him on last Satur-
day and take a look at his crop.
The earth had just been refreshed
on the preceding night by a most
seasonable rain and the growing
crops evidenced every Indication
of deepest gratitude. To be short,
the Doctors crop is, by far, the
best We have seen this year. His
cotton is about knee high and as
clean as a garden. His corn is
spledid and with favorable seasons
will make rs bushels per acre with
all ease. 1t was the impression
of Mr. Lowrey and Capt. Jones
that the Doctor would make, on
140 acres, so bales Of cotton, pos
sibly 100. But the prettiest sight
we saw was the Doctors so acres
of golden, waving grain, oats, in a
field without a stump. Here, we
found his reaper at work. Drawn
by a pair of fine mules, with
mounted driver, it was the pretti-
est work we ever saw. The Doc
tor thinks he will save money
enough by the use of this reaper
to pay for it the first year. We
wished on last Saturday that every
man in the county could have seen
it. DIR. Jones will make fully
l,500 bushels of oats, and every
seed of them is the celebrated
Bancroft, the best oat known in
this country. As a farmer, DR..
Jones is a big success, and we
wish that we had a hundred more
just like him.

TONGUE SINS"

Ii WERE a pity that every man
and woman III Dawson could not
have heard the lecture delivered at
the Methodist church on last Sun
day night by the pastor upon the
subject of tongue sins 1t was
one of the most direct, scathing
expositions of this character of
abuses that we ever listened to-
Among the most fragrant of
tongue sins" was that of SANDER
-peddling gossip-the newsmon-
ger-the gossiper-the man or
woman who retailed scandal from
house to house wherever he or she
went. To have heard the minis
ters unqualified denunciation of
this pernicious and blasting prac
tlce would have been equal to
resolution to reform upon the part
OF any whose habit it has been to
indulge it. That the habit of
dealing out unmitigated ISLANDERS
obtains to a greater or less extent
IN almost every community can't
be denied; and that pure good
men and women sometimes have
their characters blackened and
eifaced by this foul-mouthed class
OF persons is a fact which every
true and undetermined gentleman
and lady must continue to lament.
How much better would it be if
every one should adopt the rule
III you.can say nothing good Of a
person, say nothing at ALL"

Commencement Exercises.
A GRANDILOQUENT SERMON.

The commencement exercises of
the South Ga. Male and Female
College were inaugurated ON last
Sunday morning at the Baptist
church with one of the most beau
tiful, fitting and appropriate ser
mons that Dawson audience ever
listened to. Our people had ex-
pected much from the gifted
speaker, Rev. M. NJ. Wamboldt,
and they we're not disappointed
He took his text from the writings
of Solomon, one familiar to every
one: VANITY of vanities, all is
vanity" The above language is
we'll understood to apply to our
mundane existence, and so the
preacher construed it. But he
was not slow in raising an issue
with Solomon, for he saw much in
this life that was beautiful, hap
Ply, great and grand. He was not
surprised that Solomon should so
feel, for his had been a life of de
bauch, shame and vice; and, when
h came to die, he felt as if his
life had been altogether misspent,
hence the utterance Of the text
Upon the other hand Mr.. VAN
boldt believed that every man was
the architect of his own fortune
and that he possessed the capabili-
ties of making life just what he
chose to make it. That he could
make it a success or a failure;
that he could make it happy or
miserable, ect.
He referred in beau iful terms
to the life Of Alexander III. Ste
phens as an example in support Of
his position. The speakers esti-
mate of man was very high, and
his graphic delineation of his pos
sibilities was certainly very grand.
1t was a beautiful sermon, and
while some may have thought the
preacher committed a sacrilege in
daring to join issue with one so
wise as Solomon isreputed to have
been, yet we admired the audacity
of the man and believe every word
that he uttered is true. The ser
mon made a fine impression and
was well received and we only re.
greet that the limited space at oul
hands will not allow us to make {
more extended review Of it. The
building was literally packed Will
people and many stood around til,
doors not being able to gain ad
mission. The choir headed b,
Miss Chaires rendered some beau
tiful music for the occasion an
we doubt not that every one wen
away feeling glad that it was hi
privilege to be there. Mr.. Wan
boldt will long be remembered b
the people of Dawson as one {
the mo t gifted, graceful and elc
quent divlnes ever heard
