ADAIRSVILLE.
The annual commencement exercise of
Capt. T. M. Fulton’s school occupied last
Thursday and Friday. The examination
of all classes held before an intelligent
audience proved the watchful care and
administration of proper discipline by'
Capt. Fulton.
Friday night a good audience assem
bled under the lavish display of cedar
and flower, which made the school build
iua: very attractive, indeed. This was
the evening of the lad and lassie, who
were to muster all their ingenuity arid
talent to stand head in their recitations
before an audience. Every one fulfilled
their mission well. A partial report
would say, however, that Master Harold
Gray’s speech in which he rode his mule,
“Nebuchadnezzar,” without being thrown
deserves much credit. Master Wra. Trim
ble’s relative worth of a “green and ripe
watermelon” was true to nature, and
Nisbet LeConte’s picture of the center
figure of liifc recitation well; “Miss £lora
McFliinsey” by little Miss Pauline Gray
in a dialogue with her brother, was ren
dered well, indeed. And the sweet little
Miss Berta Fulton in her “By a Broom”
song captured the audience.
Thursday night the seniors made cred
itable recitations interspersed with serio
comic pieces. In this character Miss Min
nie Trimble, in her role as an old woman
asserting feminine rights, brought down
the house. And Mr. James LeConte
made those laugh that heard him. We
could not say anything but the general
verdict that every young lady and
young gentlemen executed their part
well, iudeed, and deserve much credit. A
committee of well selected gentlemen who
were to award the prizes made out their
verdict which gave Mr. illiam Morton,
of Hall Station, a prixe for the best ren
dered speech, and Miss Trimble the next
for.her proficiency in her part acted. Mu
sic for this occasion was gracefully ren
dered by the classes of Mrs. Wood and
Miss Carrie Reed, both of whom spared
no pains to bring their scholars up to
perfection in this art. This closes the la
bor of scholar and teacher and no doubt
will make Christmas out of their vacation.

A Remarkable Showing for R. B. B
Against Other Remedies.
Putnam Cos., April 29,1887.
I have been suffering for most thirty
years with an itching and burning all
over my face and body. I took eighteen
bottles of one blood medicine and it did
me no good. I commenced last January
to use B. B. 8., and after using five bot
tles I felt better and stouter than I have
in thirty years, my health is better and I
weigh more than I ever did. The itching
has nearly ceased, and 1 am confident
that a few more bottles of B. B. B. will
cure me entirely. lain sixty-two years
old and can now do a good day’s work in
my field. I consider it the best medicine
I have ever seen, for it certainly did me
more good than all the medicine I have
ever taken. I had, in all, nearly a hun
dred risings on rny face, neck and body.

Two Bottles Cure Rheumatism.
Boughton, Ark.. June 4, 1887.
I cheerfully state the following facts in
regard to the use of your medicine in my
family. My little son, 14 years of age,
suffered from an acute attack of rheuma
tism, caused by undue exposure and chil
ling of the blood. I heard your remedy
highly recommended, and purchased one
bottle of Moncrief A Bro., Prescott, Ark.
In about one month, after using this bot
tle, he became so much better that I got
the second bottle which is now being
used, and my son is nearly well, and 1
think by removing him to a cooler sum
mer climate (which I will do) and contin
uing its use, a perfect cure will be affected.
1 consider B. B. B. a most excellent blood
purifier. Cmas. H. Tittus,
