Our College Commencement.
This was an occasion of much
pleasure to Hamilton, ami deser -
ving of a more extended no ic?
than the crowded state of our col*
utnns will admit of. Considering
the shortness of the time of prepa
ration foi the occasion, it was yfry
creditable to the institution. The
examination was was rigid and sat
isfactory. The sneaking hy the
boys was very good, Messrs Eddie
Pharr and Tommie Williams being
awarded the prizes. Judge W. I.
Hudson delivered the pnzes.in his
usual neat and characteristic man
ner. The young ladies read well.
The literary address was delivered
by Chatles A Stakely, E-q , of La-
Grange, who helii the large and in
telligent audience spell bound by
his matchless oratory. His address
was chaste, elegant and appropri
ate, and was received with much
enthusiasm. The entertainment
tor Thursday evening was deferred
until another time, owing to un
fortuitous circumstances, but the
crowd which assembled was highly
entertained by two of our gentle
men visitors.
Celebration at Clowers Church.
The pupils of Glowers Sabbath
School had a celebration on Satur„
day the sth, instant, that was very
largely attended and highly enjoy
ed. There were five or six hun
dred persons present, among them
representatives of neatly every
section of the county, Professor
Pound led in music, and being as
sisted by the Glowers school and
the neighboring Baptist school, the
singing proved to be one of the
most enjoyable features of the oc
casion. Addresses were made by
Rev. Jesse Moore and G. Hines
Dozier, Esq., which were appropri
ate and to the point The dinner
was excellent in quality and abun
dant in quantity, and was ei joyed
by all. The afternoon was spent as
only young people know how to
spend one. Rain fell during the
evening, but it was by no means a
damper to the spirits of the crowd,
which only dispersed when the
shadows grew- very long. a. b.

Hair Vigo r,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless and effectual, for
preserving tho hair. It restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or
gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown,
or deep black, as may be desired. By its
use thin hair is thickened, and baldness
often though not always secured. It
checks falling of the liair immediately,
and causes anew growth In all cases
where the glands are not decayed; while
to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased
hair, it imparts vitality and strength,
and renders it pliable.
t
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures
anil prevents the formation of dandruff;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it, cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases of
the scalp aud liair are impossible.
Asa Dressing for Ladies’ Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil while cambric. It imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article for the toilet it is economi
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
