The commencement season of 1890 of Young Female College is over. The fever of expectancy and uncer tainty that has held the graduating class for the year in its thrall has pass ed off. the expectancy has turned into a pleasant reality, and the uncertainty has become a pleasing realization. It is not amiss to say in this connection, that the teachers of the institution, as well as the pupils, have reason to be proud that the great event of the year passed so pleasantly. It is no small task to carry the burden of anxiety that everything should pass off without unpleasant features, and it is certainly a burden to carry the responsibility that belongs to such occasions. Long before the hour at which the exercises were to begin Tuesday even ing, crowds begun to gather at the Chapel. It was almost certain that room would he at a premium, and the prudent people determined to be on hand in time. At 8 o’clock the curtains undvr the skillfull manipulation ol Messrs. 13. F. Hawkins and J. M. Dreyer, rolled back, and the audience and those that had places on the stage faced each other for the first time. ’Ihe trustees and officers oi the college and a few invited gentlemen had places on the stage, and the auditorium oi the Chap el was packed. The exercises of ilic evening opened with an appropriate and earnest pray er by Rev. W. J. Williams. The salutatory to the class and au dience was read by Miss Fannie Wat kins, and it was in good taste and well rendered, ■ e-s- A,— — Tnen cams music from a chorus of sweet girl voices, and the audience received it with satisfactoin and cheers. The essay, "Exhausted Tal ent,” by Miss Annie Carrol! was warning against that precocity of talent which works its own exhaustion without achieving much for the world. Miss Annie has a pleasant voice and a fine delivery. “Memory,” the essay read by Miss Ruby Vann, was full of pleasant thoughts, clothed in fine language, and was well rendered. The song “Nightingale Trill,” by Miss Norma Rike, was one of ttic pleasantest features ol the program. Miss Rike has a voice of great sweet ness and volume, and its cultivation shows that “lie has hail careful in struction. The essay, "’Tis distance lends en chantment to (lie view, and clothes the mountains in the azure line,” as hivie Pittman, was recitation, “Hay Making,” in a charm iug and taking way. The essay, “History’s Trinity,” The Sword, the Cross, the pen, by Miss Ella Stuart, was full of bright thoughts framed in appropriate lan guage, and was rendered in a confi dent manner, that marked Miss Ella asenc of the best css.iyists of the eve ning. “An Old World through Young Eyes," tlie essay read by Miss Fannie Watkins, was one of the best of the evening. Miss Fannie was thoroughly en rapport with liersubjcct, and if she can only always see the world as she docs now, she will lie satisfied, and so will her friends. The recitation of the charming po em, "Baby Bell,” by sweet little An nie Patten, was one of the most en joyable features of the whole evening’s entertninment. The instrumental Duet hy Misses -Mary Stephens and Ruth Mitchell, was well executed, ami received hearty applause. Miss Annie Carroll read the vale dictory to trustees and faculty, and it was touching in its referenses to the happy days that had come to an end with the graduating class. 1 The valedictory to the graduating class was read hy Miss Li vie Pittman. It was unique of its kind and excel lent ns well, being in rhyme. It was full of bright hits and marks a new on such occasions in Thomas- ville. President Baker in a few touching remarks delivered the degices to the graduating class, and it was easy to see that a feeling of warm sympathy existed between teacher and pupil. The chorus by tiny Misses Lizzie Carroll, Rosa and Milly Flcisher, Eva Jennings, Ollie Horn, Rosalie Levy, Willou Thomas, Daisy Dekle, Daisy Mitchell and Nellie Pringle was as sweet as though one listened to strains of music from fairyland. The scene from "The Lady' of Lyons,” in which Miss Annie Carroll appeared as Claude Mellnotte and Miss Ella Stuart as Pau line, with Miss Sallie Harley as the mother of Claude was a pleasing v.i tton of the programme. The tambourine drill in which teen young ladies performed many and sundry evolutions to the music of their tambourines was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. At tlie conclusion Rev. J. II. Her Loner pronounced tlie benediction and tlie pleasures of tlie evening closed. The annual concert come off last night, of which a full account will appear to morrow morning.

It was full of pleasan tries pleasantly expressed, and even tlie newspaper men were not forgot- ti n. Miss Cora said that in a certain event tlie Winter of our discontent would be so prominent, that we could not receive compliments in singles, much less in Triit.ktts. The recitation, “The Fisherman’s Wifo,” by Miss Maggie Bibb, was a touching portrayal of the anxiety felt hy the wives of those that go down to the sea in ships.
