RAVI.S, Its Origin, History and Great Good Accomplished in the Past Its Future a Bright One Its Alumnae Unsurpassed by any in the South. Its President Truly a Man of God" The Faculty the Best the Country Affords Personal Etc. The Femalo Institute of the Tennessee Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

at Athens, Alabama, was chartered on the 9th day of January, 1843, by the General Assembly of the State of Alabama with the following trusters, to-wit Alexander P. Green, Thomas Madden, Am- bros F. Driskill, Joshua Boucher, Frederick G. Ferguson, Daniel Coleman, Ira E. Hobbs, Benjamin W.

Maelin, Thomas Bass, James F. Sowell, Thomas S. Malonc, James C. Maloue, William Richardson, George S. Houston, Diehard W.

Vasser, Johnatlian McDonald and James Craig, under tlie name and style of "The Trustees of the Female Institute of the Tennessee Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church" at Athens, Alabama. On February 1, 1872, the Legislator, on pe tition, changed the name to "The Trustees of the Athens Femalo In stitute," and later, in 1879, the name was change to "Athens Fe male College," and so it stands today, an institution that, not only the county or the State, but of which the whole South, may be proud. The history of this institution includes nioro than half a century. In 1822 a school for young ladies was in progress upon the grounds occupied at present. It continued steadily until 1843 when it was incorporated.

Since that time it has been prominent as an institution, having for its object, the higher education of women. Its work was not interrupted by the war, on the contrary its patro nage steadily increased. Especial attention is invited to the "course of study." It is believed to be practicable aiid harmonious, and an examination of the text books will indicate its thoroughness. From the walls of this institu tion have gone forth some of the brightest lights that ever adorned the home of any one, or reflected light or credit upon any college. A glance at the Alumnae, will show that no young lady has ever been turned out from this College that has ever been a drawback, but on tho contrary, has been a monu ment to the careful teaching of the thorough professors of this famous College.

It would be Wrong for us, among, the many who marked their names high on the "Rock of Fame" to point out individuals, but wo do say, without fear of contradiction, that this school has turned out some of the sweetest, Godliest women, all things being equal, of any school of the South, and many men who have chosen them for their partners through life, and membership, can attest tho fact, that the young lady turned out of Athens Female College, is a fit companion for the best educated man and shining lights for any Church. The faculty of the school can not be surpassed by any school in the South. Prof. Williams is truly a "man of God," a man who has, both before and since the war, occupied the position of an educator, with signal credit to himself and much benefit to his scholars, and who in conjunction with his most estimable wife, will not only make a home life for the young ladies, but parents may rest assured that their spiritual as well as physical and mental wolfnre will bo looked after with a loving eye. The faculty is composed of the best the country affords.

Hiss Sallie Williams, an ac complished young lady, has charge of the advanced preparatory class. Miss Williams was educated in the best schools of thecountay and stands, to-day, one of the finest preparatory teachers in the land M.I88 FLORENCE UILBERT, one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of Limestone constellation, and not only Limestone, but of the im-tire South, is to have charge of the preparatory department When this is said the whole country ought to respond, foa we know when our yonng ladies do fit themselves for teachers, they do not play. Miss Florence, by hard study close application and great perse verance has raised herself to that plane that the best educated have seen her excellence and proficiency, and called her frequently to teach their children in the neigh borhood. Miss Florence, not satisfied, attend' ed the Normal school at Nashville and there perfected hersolf in all the branches that are necessary for the young, and, as a consequence CORESETT MATUFACTCRERS OF ITAHXESS AND SADDLES.

The education of the south has been tliit "woman's sphere home," and the grandest, most glorious men in the world have knelt at her shr'ne and acknowledged her reign at that place, but when she oversteps tho bounds thus laid down, the men of the South are loath to recognize the merits of the gentler sex. But when Mrs. Frame, with eloquence and pathos, with the grace and elegance that the beautiful fawn could not equal, and when she appeals to the sinner and brings before him the "story of the Cross" in that inimitable way of hers, and which directs itself to the the thinking mind, one cannot but see the "middle Cross" immediately before him and feel a longing in his heart, to go with her to tho foot of tho Cross and say with her in her inimitable way "Bless His Holy name." Death of a Good Old Citizen. After a lingering illness with old age to aid the disease, Mr.

Thomas Griffis, one of Limestone's oldest and moat respected citizens passed peacefully over the dark river last Saturday night. He was laid to rest at Lebanon church last Monday evening. His remains were follow ed to their last resting place by a large number of citizens who desired to show their profound respect for this good man. Tho deceased was loved by all who knew him, for he was a good man. What more can be said of any one.

Mr. Houston was in town Monday to attend a trial. Some parties, it seems, have entered 100 acres of land that has been in quiet peacable possession of the Houston family for years, a case similar to that whore Shoats, of Decatur, entered, or had entered, some of Mrs. Jane Love's farm.

Though only living a few miles from town, this was his first visit to Athens in over two years. Wo found him a very pleasant old gentleman and his conversation of old times was full of interest.

Miss Rebecca Williams, the teacher of music, is a genuine "song bird" and a musician of a high order, but not satisfied that she had learned all that can be learned she attended the Conservatory of Music at Cincinnati, where she has perfected herself in all the modern modes of instruction. Mes.

Kieuulff, the teacher in Art, is a graduate of the Female College of Tuskegee, Ala. She was a pupil of her husband, who was educated in Germany, in Mu sic and art. She comes as highly recommended as any teacher can be, and is not only a great acquisition to the school but the society of Athens. Miss Portek, who has charge of the "business school," is a gradu ate of the National Normal school of Lebanon, Ohio. This branch of the school has been recently addeded and will include telegraphy- Miss Lee Steele, one of tho most aecompliscd teachers now of the South, is one of the faculty.

As a linguist, she not only understands but can impart to the young the roots, rudiments and use 'of the languages. She has taken two courses in the languages and is prounounced, by the best linguists of the land, as superior. As a mathematician she is unexcelled, it seems to come to her by intuition, and her manner of imparting instruction is extremely happy. Any parent who intrusts the training of their children to her, may rest as sured that from a broad brain and a Christian heart their loved ones will receive instruction that will widen, deepen, broaden and raise to higher heights their young minds. Tako it altogether, there is no school in tho South that has greater advantages than thia, healthy town, good order, good society, finest water in the world, a good corps of teachers, good churches, good pieachcrs and good pavements to go anywhoro in tho town.

Let our own town and county set tho exam ple by sending our children and doing everything in our power to build up the school, ono man alone cannot do it, but aided by tho tongues, brains, pockets and prayers of the people, it will, indeed, become the "Athsns of the South."
