DR.. w. G. Bass, of Wesleyan Female Col
lege, of Macon, has been greatly annoyed
| by the extreme rudeness of a number of
boys and young men to the young ladies of
| the college while on their way to and from
church services. On Thursday evening last
| DR.. Bass took them to the Young Mems
| Christian Association at the Academy of
| Music. While on their way home the
young ladies were passed by a gang of
| young men several times who spoke to
| them, and made personal remarks, that, if
published, would no doubt cause more than
one of them TO leave the city At the corner
of College street and Georgia avenue they
congregated, until there were at least 100
present. AS the girls passed, they were
crowded out into the road by the roughs,
| until DR.. Bass had to threaten TO use his
cane on them. At Mulberry street church
IA few nights afterward about eighty
| pupils were present, led by DR.
Bass When they began to leave
another crowd was found in the church. so
obStructing the doorway that there was
! but three feet available. The boldness of
these roughs is something remarkable. 1t
was impossible for the escort To guard the
entire line at once, and the boys would
watch their opportunity TO speak to the
ladies as they passed.
