Two years since, err-Mayor Ely passed
awinter at the south with his invalid
daughter. most of the time at Thomas-
ville. 0a.. where he became pleasantly
acquainted with Mr. Triplet, the editor
of the Thomasville Times. Since his re-
turn. Mr. Ely has always spoken very
highly of that place and the same of the
Times, claiming that it stood at the head
of the press in the country. Now, by
chance, we have seen a copy of the
Times of a recent date. from which we
capy the following interesting extract:
“An interesting case was tried in our
Justice court a few days ago. A citizen
brought his daughter‘s voung man be-
fore a justice for vlolently e ecting hlm
from his own parlor one Sun ay evening.
After hearing the other side. the justice
said: ‘It appears that this young fellow
was courting the plaintiff‘s gal. in plain-
tiff‘s parlor, and that plaintiff lntruded
and was put out by defendant. Court-
ing is a. public necessity and must not be
interrupted. Therefore, the law of
(icorgia will hold that a parent has no
legal right. in n mo'm where courting is
afloat. Defendant ls dlschargcd, and
plaintiff must pay costs.‘ " Since. Mr.
Elv'u return from the south he has be~
conic acting justice. “'9. would like to
know, for the benefit of our young and
enterprising young men, if he was con-
fronted with a similar case. what he
would consider the legal rights of a
young man, “in a room where courting
is afloat." Editor Triplet, wc under-
stand, has been elected a delegate to the
Democratic convention at Chicago. \Ve
would Fllztll'flt that he give "(lcorgilt
'usticv“ a trial in that City. if he would
like to be bounced. .

Gould Benedict‘s Funeral;
Tile funeral of (ioold Benedict was
held, and largely attended. at his late
residence on Saturday afternoon, the
services being conducted by Revs. J. II.
Ross and H. N. Dunning, who spoke in
the highest terms of the deceased.
Among the railroad men )resent, were
cx-Su crintcndent John T- Ioody.Trcas-
Ilrcr \- '. L. Squires. Roadmaster Pressy,
Freight Agent Chas. Rockwell. and Con-
ductor Strickland, of the Consolidated
road. President \Vatrous and Sn t.
Stevenson were unable to attend. ‘he
pnll bearers were. Ext-mayors Ely, Qum-
tard and Cunningham, and Messrs. Thos.
(lilycr, Stephen Ferris and A. Dickerman.
The remains were interred in Pine Island
cemetery .
As evulencc of the esteem in which
Mr. Benedict was held by the officers of
the company-in whose emplrv he served
so long, we have been permitted to make
the following extracts from letters re-
Ceived by the family:
From PrcSidcnt Watrous:—"I have
heard with sincere sorrow of the death
of Mr. Benedict. He has long been a
faithful. and. as I believe, honest. em-
ployee of this companv. ' ’ f If it
were practicable. I should personally at—
tl-nd the funeral; bllt as I haves positive
ctlgagclllellt ill New York, I fear it will
be ilnposlsihle."
From err-Superintendent Moody: ‘ ‘l *
“I write this to unite with others in say-
ing that during the time we were miso-
cizttcd as ofllcers of the N. Y. N. ll. & II.
It lt.. since, 1869, no more faithful, self-
sacrificing. or willing oflicer of the road
("one under my supervision. In all the
time above named. I never had an occa~
sion which could be considered necessary
to chide him for any neglect of duty.
but at various times told him he was do-
ing more than he ought to do: but the
pleasant face alwa 's replled with a
smile. “Well, sin-as ong as I am able, I
prefer to do my duty. and what I can
for the benefit of the company.‘ and I
would add again, he did so. and leaves
this world for a better one. where we
know his faithfulness will be more ap-
preciated than in this.“
Fri m1 lencral Freight Agent Rockwell:
' * * “I am indeed very sorry. for Mr.
Benedict was an old friend of mine, and
a man worthy of all respect, and one to
whom we can surely apply in all respects
the words, ‘\Vell done good and faithful
sorvnnt.’ He was a remarkable man in
his position in many respects; kind and
considerate ill all his works and con-
ditions. and always a man. and I believe
respected by all."
High School Graduating Exercises and
Reception.
The changlng of the time of holding
the graduating exercises of the High
school class from afternoon to evening,
resulted in attracting an audience Thurs-
da . evening to the full capacity of Music
hall. The stage was very pre‘ttily deco-
rated with potted plants, and the motto
of the class, “Per aspera ad astra,"
wrought in flowers and leaves. was sus.
pended acress the front. The board of
education, school committee, and other
citizens odeupicd the stage with the
graduates and teachers. The exer-
cises were opened by prayer by the
Rev. James H. Ross. after which
the salutatory address and essay
“Should a woman he as well educated as
a man“ were delivered by Miss Jennie H.
Gregory. The address was a very neat
one, and the essay 3. well written and
thoughtful consideration of the subject,
with unmistakable evidence that the
author was in s mputhy with the pro-
gressive spirit 0 the age, which recog-
nizes the ability as well as the right of
woman to a fu I share in the responsi-
bilities of the present age. Charles E.
Hoyt's consideration of "The slavery
controversy in America" was a careful
and correct epitome of the history of
that institution and the circumstances
which finally led to its extinction. Miss
Lillian F. Hutchinson spoke upon the
“Three Great Powers," which she desig-
nated as the pulpit, the stage, and the
press. accrediting to each praise for
what they had done and were doing,
with criticisms upon the errors and fail-
ures to come up to their fullsco of
usefulness. “The Growth of our uu.
try” was the subject assigned to Edward
J. Taylor, which be wary carefully and
quite fully portrayed in a we‘l written
essay. Miss Annie 8. Remin ton gave
expression to beautiful thong ts under
the title of “Drifting,” drawing very
vividly an inn: inury scene upon the
mean, and apéying its lessons to the
class. In thought. language and deliv~
ery this essay was, to say the least, a very
creditable exception to the average effort
in the same line by high school gradu~
ates, and a marked evidence of more
than ordinary literary ability. Mics Mar-
garetta Ellendorf‘a valedictory and essay
upon “True and False Pride,‘ were hot
11 ghly creditable productions. Her elu-
p‘begltlxuuuciatifir‘l of who , polite ofmlifd‘

or treatment of the subject was logical
and forcible. and in full accord with the
bent sentiment. The voledtotory was
brief but oxprculvo. and conveyed ex-
pression: usual in such addroclel with-
out any fuloomc adulation.
