^ j9 The Atlanta Journal of Wednesday
r ) makes the startling announcement,
-nun. un(]er n double deck horsohead of
jke, a scare lines that Dis I. M. Hair, of
store Union, S. C., was arrested in Atlanta
for trying to pass a bogus check at
the Neal Loan and Banking Co. Dr.
0 a llair was released, and the Journal
ies <n sneers at the pplice for turning him
loose. Tho _poltce exhibited more
sense than the Journal. We don't
in his hfiiiAi*a iknf n. it.i. v.?a . ??i
i wvuviv vuuv as l aa au unu a ou^^iuiuii
arlors that the check was a fraud when ho
?< presented it to the bank. He is not
"' a man of that colibre.
so.lbe We would have credited the Doctor,
ien o vvith his knowledge of Atlanta, with
being too shrewd and wike-nwako to
. The be picked up by one of Atlanta's
?ehan sharks.
enn.; Here is the account:
"NVal T/Oan and flunking Company official*

p ftnn They suy a former atempted to pass a Itogus

man and turned him over to the police with

at large because tlie police believed a
li nrd storv he told them of being a victim of fraud
himself.
'It 8e? Yesterday a man registered at the Kimball

rardetl in the afternoon he culled a bell boy and sent
o? biiu to*the Neal Loan and Itunking Company

and bearing the name of J. K. Murphy
eld at Si Co., a Gainesville dry trends house, as tnak.,
crs. The check waa endorsed with tbo name
Of! tlH' of .I.J. Malonesnd l)r. William Crenshaw.
iicpps- Paying Toller Cobb Caldwell didn't like
1,1 the looks of Dr. Crenshaw's signature on the
jwded back of the cheek, so ho called up the doctor
over tho phone and asked him lr he had on5
pro- dorscd a check. Dr. Crenshaw replied that
no hud not. Mr. Cahlwoll then called a po

CLIFFORD COMMENCE MESI
1 An Occasion of AII-Round Enjoy
incnt.
i The musical recitation at the Cliffor
' Seminary Monday night was a sure:*
1 from slait 1o finish. There was a luj;
number of visitors present, all of wIhmi
seemed to enjoy the occasion immense!}
m The young Indus performed well an
sang very sweetly. Miss Mario Clifton
made quite a hit, and was enthusiaali
cally enchond. Slie took a- very prom I
nent i>art in the entertainment. and ,
better selection could not have been made
for t he dillicult pieces she p??i formed upoi
the violin and the piano, brought fort I
much applause from an apprecia'.ivi
t audience. Miss Annie lingers alsi
y handles the violin bow in a suioothc ant
graceful manner. Miss Minnie Scotieh
- is a sweet singer, and the audier.ci
wanted to hear- more from her. She wa
induce<l by special request to sing aoothei
song after the programme was finished
) she sang a catchy selection to the grea
\ delight of all present. ' Skylark Polka'
by the Misses Birdie and Alice I.ancis
) ter, was very lino. Mis-; St. Clair san.
"Mid the llush of the Golden Corn,'
) and it was one cf the best 0:1 the 1 ro
) gram.
The piano Duet "Poet and Peasant,'
) by Misses Clifford and Partridge wa
very line.
' The first song 011 the program "Silvei
- Bells," by the class was well rendered
* the tinkling bell could be heard dm in;
) the song which was very lilting am
appropriate and added materially to iht
effect.
BACCALAUREATE CERMOX.
The baccalaureate sermon preached in
' the Presbyterian1 church Sunday byili
Kev. Geo. II. Cornelson was listened ti
with the closest attention by a very large
audience. We regret very much th it we
were not able to hear the sermon ourse t',
I being out of town at the time. ltut wt
understand from those who were present
that it was one of the linest senuo.ithat
has Iteen heard in Union upon a
like occasion. lie has a splendid voir \
over which he exercises a wonder! il
control. lie speaks in a smoothe. ea<y
style bringing out his points in a maun i
ihat cariies tl?h conviction of truth
with every sentence, and holds the audience
to the closest attention to his
words from beginning to end. lloa'.-n
preached a very line sermon at night
which was attended by almost it' not
quite as large an audience as the morning
sermon. This was another masterly
effort-, and it seemed hard for the hearers
to decide which sermon was the bid tor
of the two. We hope to have Dr. Cor
nelson with us again.
AT TIIE OI'Elt.V IIOUSK,
Tlie exercises at tin Opera House was
attended by an audience which taxed llie
seating capacity down stairs
The Misses Oetzel, St Clair, Ann'e
Rodger,' Mario Clifford and Minnii
Scotield furnished the mu-ie for the <? :
casion which was highly appreciated by
the audience.
Of course the greatest interest-w.n
centered in the address of the evening t >
be delivered by Mr. James M. Farr, sou
of our townsman, Capt. F. M. Farr
Mr. Farr is a deep student, possessed o;1
a very brilliant intellect. lie has just
attained his 1'h. D. at the famous Joins
Hopkins University, and this being his
maiden effort before a public aulienco,
and that audience composed of his friends
at home who have known him from hi?
childhood up, it is no wonder that great
interest was manifested and that a largo
audience listened with the closest attention
to what lie had to say. IIis
paper was one of the most intc-iesting
that we have listened to insomeiim-',
and showed a wide range of reading.
Aud the masterly manner in which the
subject was handled, the excellent choice
of language in the construction of tbo
well rounded sentences was an evidence
of deep thought and careful study of tlie
by-gone ages. His paper was n vr y
careful and well prepared study from tl u
Elizabethan age or from the very beginning
of the English language to tht
present time. Jin the progress of literature,
woman was shown to have played
a very prominent part, advaucing from
the position of the satellite to the sun,
man, to the distinquished position of a
companion sun, more brilliant if anything
than man himself in her niwerful
influence in the advancement of education,
and the instilling into the m'nds of
the youth of the land a love for literature.
We congratulate Mr. Farr uj?on his
inaiden effort, and predict for him, in
his future life with the same close application
and deep research 'evidenced in
liis first addnss, an abundane success.
We regret that the lack of space prevents
the publication of the paper this week.
The deplonnis were delivered to the
Misses Lancaster, the two young 1.alios
who had completed the Seminary course,
by the Itev. B. G. Clifford in a few
timely words of advice sis to their futuie
life. Also assuring them that tluy
would leave Ix-hind them sit tne Seminary
only the kindest recollections, their
conduct had lieen such that they left no
black mark behind tliern.
We understand that their father
brought each of them a line gol l watch
when he came to Union to attend the
festivities of the occasion.
WKDiSKSDAY NIOHT.
The weather Wednesday night was all
that could be desiicd, ami consequently
there was a large crowd at the Clifford
Seminary to witness the exercises. The
drill with the silvered hoops hy twentysix
ladies dressed in pure white with
glittering stars in their hair began, and
they presented a pretty picture, just at
this titne the electric aic light began to
fiz and sputter, and with an expiring
gasp went entirely out and the drill was
stopped. Mr ClilTord and his corps of
teachers as well as the young ladies were
very much vexed at the occurrence, and
the audience, or some of tiie sterner sex
in it, felt like giving the electric light
people a lecture for not satisfying themselves
that the light was in proper shape.
A man finally arrived ami put in new
carbons but the light even then was very
unsatisfactory. Mr. Clifford notwithstanding
the disadvantages, allowed tlte
drill to proceed, rather than disappoint
the audience, liut the sputtering light
attracted a good deal of attention and
marred the enjojment of the occasion.
The may pole dance by the children, 11
in number, was very pretty aud furnished
amusement; s the children woiiM sometimes
get their ribbons tangled.
Tilts display of art was fully up to
previous exhibitions an<l a few new
features were added wliich were very
pietty and well executed. The j>en
1 pictures "The Atneiicau Chaperon" and
s The last clay of Summer, by Miss Marie,
;e with pen and ink on lawn cloth, showed
11 the hand ol? the aitist. A photograph
' on Kit in was a very tine piece of work,
d Miss Clifford has also painted a picture
I from memory of Dr. Austell's little girl
i- that is a line resemblance, a p'?oto had
i- never been taken. One of the prettiest,
a sights on exhibition was the cabinet of
decorated ehina the paintings had heen
a burnt into the white china, this is very
i delicate work and it was, all done at the
0 Seminary.
u There were some beautiful pieces of
1 tatting and llattenburg lace on cxliibil
tion, o.io piece of which lnvs taken .'1
a prem urns at fairs.
s The CliiTord Seminary for young ladies
r is a justly famous institution < f its
. kind. No better place could lie selected
t for the a'l-rnnnd education of the young
' ladies of our country.

A Fine Record.
In n conversation with Treasurer J.
II. Hurtles, he said that ho had broken
the record in th'n county, that, the
records show that he has marked paid
on his tax duplicato the names of
every person who paid their taxes
and had the assessments been made
and called for in the right way there
would not have gone out an execution
against a single person who held
x receipt. Says it is something that
lias never occurred before in the hisiory
of the county. He says all he
isks is that tho people make their
?turns and call for them in the
droper way and 1 e will guarantee
hat thero will bo no exe :utions t >
