Rev W II Hodges of Georgetown ; preached the sermon to the graduat- j ing class on Sunday morning. The! sermon, from the text, "But Daniel i purposed in his heart that he would j s. tot defile himself with the portion j of the king's meat, nor with the wine j wnicn ne arans, was eloquent auu > exceedingly appropriate. Rev Mr' Hodges preached again Sunday evening. Both sermons were evidences of the ability and power of the preach.. er. Uuiou church choir rendered ex- ( cellent music prepared especially for the occasion at both services. On Monday evening "Miss Matil- ' da's School" was rendered by the ' primary grades. It was a remarkable success and a fitting testimony of the ' ability oi Miss FiCUtis. the primary . teacher. "The Isle of Jewels''was i aiso given on this evening, in which , were pupils from the fourth to and : including the eighth grade. Scenery, j costume and pupils formed one; charming effect of beauty. 'Twas a 1 glimpse of fairy land as beautiful as, artist's pen ever pictured. The success was made possible by the skill aud effective efforts of Misses Dibbk-,; Marie Rivers and Sisson, who labored untiringly in training the children. rn i._ l_'Q i ues.iu>" c euiug ?cic uciu. the Francis Marion Literary society contests.

Two pianos were used and, in fact, the music was one of the special features of the commencement. Miss Rivers and her pupils received many fitting compliments oil the skill and talent displayed. One of the pretty features of the closing exercises was the presentation to Miss Rivers by the church choir at the close of Sunday evening's service of a handsome parasol as a token of their love and esteem. On the whole the exercises were all that could be wished. Everything was favorable for success. The large auditorium, seatiug four hundred, was crowded every evening, wefher perfect, and the children e the occasion.

Men past middle life have fouud comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney Remedy,especially for enlarged prostrate gland, which is very common among elderly men. L E Morris, Uexter, Ky, writes: "Up to a year ago my father suffered from kidney and bladder trouble and several physicians pronounced it enlargement of the liver and advised au operation. On account of his age we were afraid he could not stand it and I recommended Foley's Kidney Remedy, and the first bottle relieved him, and after taking the second bottle he was uo longer troubled with this complaint."

The teachers were all elected for the next school term, but to the sorrow of pupils and parents alike, Miss Chandler aud Miss Elam resigned their positions. Miss Chandler is au enthusiastic, capable music teacher and the amount of work accomplished by her classes this year is little short of marvelous. In Miss Elam also the school has sustained a great loss. The school deeply regrets the loss of these teacher whose places, will be hard to to fill. The following pupils wou medals from the various classes: N Davis, scholarship; Watts Venters, scholarship; B Newell, behavior; Blondel Cocktield, scholarship; Wilrna Huggins, literature; Eva Venters, advanced music; Cornelia Cocktield, beginners' music.
