It was our honor and pleasure to
ho present at the annual examination
exercises of Harmony Grove High
School, on the 12(h and 18th inats.,
and it now becomes our pleasing duty
to note the excellent and prosperous
condition of this school as another
evidence of the ascendency the great
cause of education is gaining through,
out our midst.
Arriving at Harmony Grove, Thurs
day allertioon, by the Northeastern
Riilroad, we were most cordially and
hospitably received by Mr. Morgan
L. Parker, the worthy and efficient
Princ : pal of the school, and his charm
ing ami accomplished wife, who is
his Assistant in the primary depart
ments, and having been refreshed
with those good tilings ol commence
ment times, and which aro so conge
nial to our epicurean taste, we soon
found our way to the academy where
we were highly entertained by the
following
I'UOQRAMMK FOB THURSDAY EVENING:
Introductory Speech—by Master
llenry Williford.
Man or Monkey—A Dialogue.
MUSIC. .• .
The Old and the New (2 scenes)—
A Dialogue.
MUSIC.
Stolen Fruits are Sweet—A Tab*
lean.

MUSIC.
Before and Behind the Sceuca—A

Tim True Philosophy—A Dialogue.

Cinderilla (5 scenes)—A Drama.
The Moving Sermon—A Comic
Speech.
MUSIC.
The above exercises were effectively
and successfully rendered, reflecting
much credit upon the pupils engaged
therein, from the “ Introductory
Speech” of Master Henry Williford,
who acquitted himself finely in pre*
editing a brief history and experience
of the closing term of the school, and
in his apologetic remarks iu behalf of
any shortcomings on the part of his
schoolmates, down to “ Tho Moving
Sermon” inclusive, which forcibly,
though comically impressed all with
the sadness of the last farewell, even
ns experienced by the “circuit rider,”
who being deposited on the roadside
by bis spirited steed, iu the midst of
his discomfiture, beholds the escaping
beast as his caudal extremity waving
high in air, seems to say, farewell,
brother Scrogginu
“The Old and the New,” illustrat
ing a conflict between the old gran
ny who still adhered to her “ old
school ” ideas of educating girls and
the anxious mother who had con
ceived tho importance of giving her
daughter better educational advan*
—
nor should the pleasures of youth be
supplimented with the responsibili
ties of more advanced life. “ Cin
derilla” was well rendered and im
pressed all present with the force
and truth of the time honored aphor
ism “trust not to appearances” while
it equally taught that, true merit will
find its. sure, reward, and unkindness
its inst retribution. These exercises

Miss Josie |Wood—Conversation.
i ages, was very well rendered indeed,
and fully demonstrated that educa> | or the subject, as the case
t ion the better fits females for the I by maintaining a dignified
domestic relations of life, and males
fur tho sterner pursuits, even from
the humblest to the highest positions
which mau is destined to fill. “ Be
fore and Behind the Scenes,’’ was a
tine photograph of the unhappy do
mestic relations consequent upon
hasty and injudicious marriage, and
: he conventional hypocrisy so common
In presenting to the world under the
guise of connubial felicity, what be
hind the scene is but one unending
niatrimanial broil, and was well cal
culated to teach young candidates
tor matrimony the importance of
'tudying well tho probable congeni
alities of their natures before they
obtained their matrimonial permits.
“ Tho True Philosophy ” of life as
demonstrated on this occasion makes
it clearly our duty to look to some
thing more than our individual com
fort or welfare, and as the young
have bceu entrusted to the uurturing
care and protection of the older, it
bocomes their duty to make their
young lives happy and enjoyable,
ever bearing in mind that boys and
girls should not bo expected to be
come prematurely nieu and women,

way homeward gratified at the suc
cess of the evenings entertainment,
while the boys and girls, the young
ladies and young gentlemen of the
school with gladsome hearts and
bonyant spirits were greatly encour
aged and dispirited for the exercises
of the coming day. It being our
good fortune to become the guest of
tho excellent and estimable Mr. and
Mrs. C. W. llood, we spent a de
lightful night which greatly refreshed
and the better prepared us for the
exercises of
FRIDAY MORNING,
Which consisted in examinations of
the different classes in the different
ilepartmcnts. These examinations
were in the main very good, showing
a commendable degree of advance
ment and proficieucy on the part of
the pupils, while they conclusively
proved tho excellent and efficient
instructor and the amiable and ac
complished instructress to be the
right persons in the right place.
The hour of 11 o’clock having now
arrived, and it haviug been appointed
uiito the writer to deliver an address
to the school at that time, he was
introduced to the audience by Mr.
Cheney in a few irti—pertinent re
marks, which very much embar
rassed the speaker. Just here we
are estopped by our modesty which al
ways gets the I letter of us, and rec
ogniziug the fact that editors and re*
porters are always expected to write
about everything and everybody but
themselves, we will say nothing more
about this part of the excreises, leav
ing the merits or demerits of that
address to be presented by the re
porter of “The Harmony Grove
Herald.'' It may not be amiss lor us
to request in this connection, that
said reporter give us a fair showing
in his report. Giving us full credit
for what of merit our address de
served and dealing with its demerits
as sparingly and as courteously as the
circumstances of the case will permit.
Especially, would we request that
he do us tha justice to report what
he himself heard and what he him
self knows of the merits or dcmerilsof
the effort. Don’t say, we were un
avoidably prevented the pleasure ot
being present on that interesting and
entertaining occasion, but we sup
pose, or wo learn, that the address
was, or was not, very fine, the speaker
winning for himself more laurels than
he knew what to dc with, or that he
didn’t gel any boquets at all. Edi
tors and newspaper reports who are
not present and cannot speak know
ingly, should endeavor to sustain
their reputation, ns each, and do
justice to the speaker, the occasion
may be
silenc
But we are digressing, and will now
bring ourselves back to our subject
by presenting the following interest
iug programme of
FRIDAY A FrERKOON—-DECLAMATIONS
BY SMALL BOYS AND GIRLS.
Master J. C. Edwards—Hoheiiliu-
den.
MissZcllcnaCrow—My Mother.
Master Waller Chandler—Death ot
Jasper.
Miss Dora Holland—Friends.
Master Char.ic Bond—Time.
Miss Florence Sanders—He Makes
his Mother Sad.
Miss Vannie Payne—The Cottage
Home
Miss Julia Holland—Papa’s Letter.
Miss Sallie Hardeman—They Say
SPEECHES AND COMPOSITIONS BY YOUNG
GENTLEMEN AND LADIES.
Mr. Frank Crow—Vindication of
South Carolina,
Miss Ida Bohannan—The Fashions
of this Life Passeth Away.
Mr. G. C. Forbes — Glories
Human Greatness are hut Pleasing
Dreams and Shadows soon Decaying.
Miss Lula Dead wyler—The Sol
dier’s Death Bed.
“iris
*MlssElla 8anders-'NW Reveals saii=
Sanders—Nigh
the Stars.
Miss Ada Pruitt—Random Shots.
Miss Mary A. Williamson—Dignity
of the Hainan Mind.
To l»e able to say truthfully ot
exercises of the length of the above,
that they wore good, better and best,
is to fix the standard of merit far
above the average, ami in this in*
stance a well deserved compliment, a
simple award of justice. Tlie length
which this report lias already assumed
will not permit of that review of this
programme which we would like to
give it and which it so well merits,
but we cannot forbear to make a
passing allusion to the “Random
Shots” of Miss Ada Pruitt. This
sisted by a superior violinist, who
evidently ha«L<t*tight the inspiration
from Ole Bull.
Having to return home by the
Northeastern train, it was not our
pleasure to hear the last of these ex
egeses, but judging from wlutt went
before,.and knowing t .at the best is
always reserved for the last, we ven
ture the assertion, that they, closed
anuual commencement occasion
satisfactory to friends, visitors and
patrons, and with much credit to the
principal nud pupils of Harmony
Grove # High School.

truths, the poignancy of which as
applicable to tho needed reformation-
in tb^domealijc* eopisVraeral, raatrk
mouial and general influential rela*
tions which woman bear to society,
was subdued by ,a spirit of humor
which made them the more present*
able and acceptable, without lessen*
mg, if not increasing, their effective
ness. Miss Pruitt main a’ned, that,
since sacred history establishes the
fact that the first woman of God’s
creation exercised complete and ab*
solute control over the first of the
so-called “ lords of creation,” and
then, and ever since, has had to bear
the blame for the natural weakn _*ss
and consequent fall of old man Adam
md the frivolities of man generally,
and which censure has become the
common inheritance of woman, tliero
’ore, woman should assert her un
questionable rights and make pre-
imptious man to stand in the back
ground ns old Adam, their illustrious
progenitor choose to do, when the
garden of Paradise became the 6cene
f the first court of justice for the
arraignment ot misdemeanors. To
all of this, the women smiled com
placently, while the men demonstra
ted their approval and the potency
of the argument by their enthusiastic
encore. Thus ended a most interest
ing entertainment, when at o’clock,
