IN this state to select few, have receiv-

OWEN NELSON INSTITUTE.
Closing Exercises Prot. Quillian
Retires.

The closing exercises OF Owen
Nelson Institute took place last
week. The pupils were examined
last Thursday, and we have heard
the recitaSions Of the classes so
frequently and loudly applauded
that we deem it incumbent upon
us to make some public mention
of them.
About one year ago Prof. T. A.
Quillian assumed the duties of
principal at the above named in
stitution. Since then he has dis
charged his duties in such man
ner as to meet the approval and
commendation Of all it's patrons.
At the public examination last
Thursday the pupils acquitted
themselves in a manner that re-
fected much credit upon them
selves and their instructors. We
were much pleased with the pro-
tciency Of the pupils, and would
like to name some who deserve
special mention, but, not wishing
to be invidious, we refrain from
doing SO. Suffice it to say that
they all evinced the fact that they
had been well tutored, and demon
strated that the school could not
have been placed in better hands.
Much of the credit is due to Miss
Hennie Jessup, who has SO eff
GENTLY aided Prof. Quillian.
All speak In the highest terms
Of Prof. Quillian's management
and deeply regret that he has de-
termined to retire from the school.
That Prof. Quillian is one of the
most competent young instructors
in the State goes without saying,
and we believe that he can best
subserve the interests of the peo-
pie in the school room. He will
remain with US about ten days
before returning to North Geor-
gia. On the 26th inst. he will de-
liver the literary address at Har-
mony Grove High School, and
will then go to Athens and begin
the study of law under Hon. Pope
Barrow. Prof. Quillian has made
many friends here who regret to
give him up, but who, at the
same time, wish him all the sue
cess possible in his chosen profess
sion.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
4 Grandiloquent Sermon-IntereSt-
ing Exercises, Etc.

The commencement exercises OF
the College were inaugarated on
last Sunday morning at the Bap-
tist church with one of the most
beautiful, appropriate and fitting
sermons that a Dawson audience
ever listened to. Our people
had expected much from the gift
ed speaker, Rev. W. M. Hays,
and they were not disappointed.
The exercises ended last night.
They have been very interesting
from beginning to end. The hall
has been packed with people the
entire week, and everybody has
been delighted with the unexcep-
tional success which has accompa-
MED the efforts Of those con-
cerned.
We regard the entertainments
that have been given at the col
lege a credit to the institution, and,
SO far as our observation extends,
this is the verdict Of a large num-
Der Of people.
The number of visitors, we
learn, have been comparatively
small, but, without exception, they
have seemed to enjoy the occasion
to the fullest extent.

Wheat is turning out from six to

are much better than we expected
a while back. Mr.. G.. r. Hayes
says he has some oats that will
make over fifty bushels per acre.
When our people get to raising a

The last grand jury, in their
presentments, speak of a discrep-
ancy in the number of acres of
land returned in the county dur
ing different years. They sug-
gest . remedy which, if carefully
carried out, would correct this er-
ror. When the returns of the
land in the county are too small
there is loss in taxable property;
this loss must be borne by those
who give correct returns. In adj
uluon to the suggestion of the
Jury, we would suggest that our
county have a valuation commit
tee. This would relieve the re-
celver of considerable responsible
lty' and would make the citizen
more careful in making his returns.
Other counties have tried this
plan and find that it works admi-
rably.
The Dawson journal., 1885-06-11

The grand jury presentments,
which were recommended to be
published in the JOURNAL, can be
fund on our first page. We
heartily concur with them in their
presentments and commend them
as a body of men who have done
their duty faithfully. They have
doubtless been prompted by hon
est motives to do that which would
acc accomplish the most good, and at
the same time truly perform all
the duties devolving upon them
by law. They seemed to have
praised where praise was deserv-
ed and reprimanded where they
thought public servants were der
elict in the performance of their
duties. The grand jury, acting
as the grand inquest of the coun-
ty, developed information which
had been unobserved by the gen.
eral public. Their duty has been
faithfully discharged.
