Robert Berry and Frank Pat terson. The audience was equally as large as that of the preceding evening and all expectations were fully realized. At 8:15 Prof. Neel announced, after again thanking the citizens for the large attendance, the beginning of the program. He said he would ask lor the same good behavior and with the exception of a few lectlem non rest dents his request was granted.

G Wood bridge was followed by the chorus, “Light and Gay,” which was sung by Misses Terry, Redding, Patrick, Mrs. Wilson and Messrs.. Brown, Luke Brown and Ragland in a most charm ing manner Then came the reading of the com , positions by the graduating class. . They were historical and moot difficult i subjects, but were handled with the ! moat absolute ease which bestowed groat credit to both teachers and pc pile. • After the reading of these composi tions which consumed not as much time as might hare been expected, ewing to attentive audience and wil ling echo'arr, Dr Drewry, President of the Board of Education, made his appearance upon the stage for the purpose es awarding the diplomas. Dr. Drewry said it afforded him great pleasure to hear the reading of compositions by the bright young la dies whom he had so often seen in school busy with their books. He felt it an honor, and w.as proud to be call ed upon to deliver these diplomas, which was appropriately done. The medals to be awarded for the superiority in recitation and declama tion were presented by Col J. D Boyd. The young ladies’ medal was given to Miee Annie Kimbrough, who received it with thanks as graceful as a queen. The gentleman’s medal was awarded to Mr. B. B. Gamble. This modal was A gift of Col. Boyd to the successful contestant in oratory, and Mr. Gamble received it in a very touching little Prof. Ned then arose and expressed profound regret to the audience that the orator for the occasion had disap pointed him. He said three preachers and two lawyers had dit&ppointed him iu these exercises, and hoped the pub lic would help to chare his griefs, ■■‘i-■"''Nr; ■ = ; I Clothing For Every One AT BASS BROS.’ r w A train load of—we like to have said soldiers, but we mean Olotkh for the soldiers who are going to remain at home.

He eaid good work in a school room would find its reward everywhere. His tribute to the board of education was a just compliment and he gave them notice that he would call upon them each year for more money to support the school as it builds up. He would not wish to remain here if he could not better the scbooL He was emphatic in hie assertion 1 that a large boarding house great demand here for the accommo< dation of pupils.of his school already more pupils from abroad foi next year than he can accommodau at his home. .
