The Opening of Industrial College
Memphis Appeal, 23d..

=
The opening yesterday at Columbus
of the Industrial College for Women, oil
which our special dispatch gives very
full account, is an event upon which all
the citizens of Mississippi may pride
themselves. 1t is an example that every
State in the Union should follow Wo
men should everywhere he placed upon
an equal footing with men, not merely
in regard to education, but everything
else. Sex should be expunged from
constitutions and law books and women
be made absolutely as free and the
EQUALS of men before the law. We con-
graduate our neighbors and friends of
Mississippi upon the suspicious event.
and we unite with Gov. Lowry in pre-
dieting for the College the utmost sue
cess commensurate with its scope and
powers; and let US say, additionally,
that we think the occasion would have
been shorn of more than half Of its sig
nihcance had not Mrs. Peyton, Of Halle
hurst, been present and spoken. Her
bust in bronze or marble should at once
be set up III the main hall of the College
as testimonial of appreciation, and a
memorial by the women of Mississippi
of earnest labors crowned with compile
and ample success.
This capital suggestion of the Appeal
comedies with suggestion made in our
hearing by an influential lady of Column
bus: that oil portraits should at once be
secured Of Mrs. PEYToN and Mrs. Hast
INGs, and of Senator MARTIN who draft
ed the bill creating the College.

The Colored State Fair.

Monday was devoted to entries, and in
the way of agricultural and dairy pro-
ducts, stock, needlework, and the fine
arts, the display up to yesterday noon
was quite creditable, and compared very
favorably with former exhibitions on the
same grounds. There was but little ma
chinery; but we saw several vehicles
and implements of great merit, made by
colored people.
AT noon yesterday, the Fair was for
mally opened. Governor Lowry was
escorted from the Capitol to the grounds
BY the Capital Light Guards, Gem Band
and Hope Fire Company. On arriving
at the Music Stand, in main, building. the
ceremonies were opened BY an address
from Isaiah 7. Montgomery, of Warren
President of the Association, which was
not only eloquently spoken, but yerv
sensible and appropriate. Rev. G. o. II.
THOMAS, Of yicksburg, followed with
an earnest, fervent prayer; Gov. Lowry
then made an exceedingly appropriate
address of congratulation and encour-
aeement, and declared the Fair open.

The Election.

On Tuesday next The voters of Missis- !
siPpi will elect their State and county
officers. The only candidates for the
State offices are those nominated by the
Democratic party, and with rare excep-
lions, the candidates for county officers
are all Democrats.
We trus, the knowledge or belief that
none but Democrats will be elected, will
not keep any voters from going to the
polls. The privilege of voting is
precious privilege, and should be exer-
cised as often as opportunity offers, and
it is very much better that those on
whom is placed the duty of choosing
their servants, shall not fall into the
habit of allowing it to be done by others.
Our political friends in few of the
counties are having quite struggle

some reason not known to US, old-time

Yesterday dawned bright, clear and
bracing, and Columbus, from center. to
circumference, was up beiimes and on
the qut rice, for the opening of the State
Female College was one of the grandest
events that ever occurred in the history
of the town. Every train during the
previous part of the week had brought
not only scholars who proposed attend
ing this institution, but under the infu-
ence of the half-rates generously made
by all the railroads, a great many
parents and relatives as we'll. As early
as last Tuesday it was found necessary
to begin quartering the young ladies in
the Dormitory of the College, although
no arrangement had been made for their
accommodation there before yesterday.
However the girls very willingly put up
with what slight inconvenience were
incidental to their early arrival, and
their bright smiles and happy faces
added new attraction to the already
beautiful building and made President
Jones and his hard-worked assistants
| feel that life wasn't wholly devoid of all
pleasures,
Large numbers of our citizens, to say
nothing of visitors, have been "doing
| the College this week, and early and
late the buildings have presented q
scene of life and activity, but this was
not a circumstance to the aspect oil
affairs down there yesterday. Girls Of
all qualities, sizes and styles, had poured
in and the spacious halls and corridors
of the Dormitory resounded with happy
laughter and echoed and re-echoed the
tones of their winsome, joyous voices
There were blonde girls, brunette girls

Their pleasure and expressions of deligh

at the magnitude of the College and tn
perfection to which everything had beel
brought. The Dispatch took in every
thing there was to be seen and me
nearly everybody, and not one disparae
ing remark was heard during the entir
day; only praise in unstinted quantitie
for the admirable manner in which tn
College had been built, and was bein
managed by Prof. Jones. 1t will, O
course, take several weeks to get thing
into smooth working order, but tn
faculty are equal to the task, and wi
! proceed with the work of organization
without any loss of time.
