BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENTS. The Commencement Exercises of the Lexington Classical Institute. Last week will ever be an occasion of pleasant memory to those whose good fortune it was to be present at the closing exercises cf the Lexington Classical Institute, which con- | ^ Burned portions of the evenings of ' Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The children of the three departments?the primary, intermediate and collegiate are deserving of the highest commendation fur the very creditable manner in which they reflected the careful training of their painstaking and efficient instuctors, and the precision and promptness with which they moved through the intricate mazes and evolutions of the drills. Through the thoughtful courtesy of Miss Ellen Hendrix, who is at the head of the intermediate department, a representative of the Dispatch was given a position where ha could better witness the little ac iors as they performed their partB and contributed their share toward the enjoyment of their parents and friends, and from his point of view every movement of gesture and expression as they responded in unison ?.iL mucin on/1 (imp Willi tUC Liai UJUUJ VA ua uvj4v hmv* could be more clearly Been and tbe laborious training of tbe children by the teachers and remarkable perfect tion which they have attained more fully appreeciated. A representative audience of the refinement and culture of tbecommu nity greeted the little folks to encourage them in their efforts to please, and during the enti:e exer cises of the three evenings tbe closest attention was given to each and the utmost decorum prevailed. Elaborate programmes for each evening's entertainment had been arranged which while simple to the matured mind ripe with experience j and thought, were complicated and confusing to the inexperienced minds I cf tbe buds of premise who were j to undergo a severe physical straining sod laborious study and practice to so act well their part that would repay, in part, their teachers for their faithful and conscientious labor in training the young minds to explore and investigate to them the un trodden fields of knowledge and to lead them to higher attainments and nobler aspirations. The subjects chosen were m themselves lessons from which rich food for thought could be extracted and garnered into * the storehouse of memory to be untilized as occasion and circumstance demanded. The exercises were opened on Wednesday evening by the primary department, which is under the management of Miss Sue Corley who has satisfactorily discharged her duties and who can now erj >y her well earned vacation with the consciousness of haviDg won the gratitude of the parents and the love of the pupils. * After music by the Lcxington orchestra, Rev. J. N. Wright opened the exercises with prayer. The addresa of Welcome was then delivered by Frettie Barrett. Luther Sox told bow Gandpa on the Wheel appeared with no hair on the top of his head bat plenty on bis cbin. Learning to Sew was a quaint bit of juvenile philosophy by Elvira Harman. Calisthenic SoDg was a delightful exhibition of physical training by about twenty little fairies. George Craps, Henry Shull, Frank Hartley Leland Hartley aDd Horace Corley, with sword, drum, flag, fife and gun, was a good burlesque on the raw recruits. Gussie Barre "Wished that She Was Grown TJp, which was amusingly delivered. The motion Song?Swing Cradle? by the department, was rendered with merit. The pantomime,?Lead, Kindly Light?by Ella Price, showed careful training and talent. Davis Caughman, in his Pickaninny, made a hit. The sixteen little daisies in their drill won the applause of their friends. The niDe little Indians was a realistic representation of the Noble Bad Men in their Tomahawk drill. DeJsartian drill was an exhibition of physical movement and was well executed. The remaining exercises consisted in tablaux vivants and could not have been improved upon. We have taken the names as they appeared upon the programme. The Good night scene was a happy conception and charmingly rendered. On Thursday evening the chil dren of the intermediate department entertained a packed audience who showed their appreciation by liberal applause witbin the bounds of moderation and good breeding. As already stated Miss -Eden llendrix, a cultured teacher of refinement and large experience, is the head. To her untiring < fforts is due in a large measure the brilliant success which marked the commencement and clos ing of the exercises. She is recognized as a lady specially adapted by education, training and disposition to awaken in the minds of her pupils a desire for learning and to lead & T: hmi to the fountain cf knowledge. j The people of this community are indeed fortunate in having secured Ler services. The ex rcises of this evening were of a high order and each of the par ticipants did their part with clock vork precision and correctness that would have do- e credit to older heads The following was the programme as printed: ? Prayer?R v. Mr. Lippard. 11 Dialogue, Preparing for a Picnic ^ Reading, "Piller Fites." s Reading, Papa's Letter.

Dialogue, The Old and New. t A String of Onions on Which Will o be Found The Man Who Doe3n'i s Take the Paper; How Men "Bust I Up;" The Dead Btat in Politics, and p L'^ap Year. u Eastern Temple Drill. n Clown's Horn Drill. n At the request of the Board of p Tiustees Miss Hendrix favtred the t audience with one of her delightful d recitations. d On Friday evening the students a of the collegiate department gave v an entertainment of a high order of c merit which was an evidence that a Prof. O. D. Seay, the Principal of o the Institute, was a ripe scholar and I was gifted with the raze faculty of t imparting knowledge to others in a I manner that was both impressive and lasting. He is in love with his profession, the very essence of a success- p ful instructor. o This evening was the crowning sue 1 cess of the commencement and the C court house was literally packed and jammed with admiring friends of the graduates who were to receive diplo- v ma's signifying that their studies at b the Institute were finished; that they * were prepared to enter higher institutions of learning. The graduates were at their best, and each surpassed c the most sanguine expections of their ? friends and exhibited a thoroughness a of finish, combined with courtly gracefulness and charming refinement blended into a harmonious whole a which made a magnificent picture of ^ enchanting beauty. The following was the programme: Prayer?Rev. J. N. Wright. C Song, Vacation is Coming. Mr. William Helm Caughman? E The Boers. The young speaker recounted in burning words the hard ships and privations of that noble band of heroes struggling for political freedom; unmasked the bypccrasy of the Republican party in refusing I the aid of "tbia land of the free" to y help them accomplish their object, p The thesis was well delivered and t! proved him to be. gifted with rare ^ oratorical powers. J Miss Iceolene Harman?Recitation I ?My Lady's Leap. This fair de- I butante, as she made her graceful ii bow before the audience gowned in I white silk, was the center of all eyes. I With charming manners and easy f grace she recited the story of "My d Lady's Leap." -Clear as the chimes I of silver tongued bells her exquisite ii voice floated over the vast audience t gathering volume and force as the b sound waves proceded until it filled g the court house with a rich fullness, h Miss Mary Janet Henry?Essay? I The Twentieth Century Woman. I Lovely in her handsome Swiss this v young essayist stood. Her voice, t though low, was clear and sweet, \ and her expression, gestures and Q mauuers were pi^uaiug. xier iuiei- t lectuil brow and dishing ejes a marked her as a child of genuis with a set purpose to drink deeper at the fountain of knowledge. May Festival Drill. ^ Address by Dr. F. C. Woodward. Presentation of Diplomas. a Song. Good Night. P The address of Dr. Woodward, ^ was an able presentation of the purposes of education from a scholarly a mind. His leading thought was that 8 the object of education was not r so much filling the mind with Latin and Greek as it was to develop v the finer elements of the human 0 character?the moral, the spiritual, ^ the social and the physical faculties a which would lead to a desire to know more about God and bis wondrous * T works and to better understand the duties and responsibilities of life. Those who beard the address enj ;yed it and a lasting impresssion ^ has been made for good by its de livery. The Commencement exercises were ended by the baccalaureate sermon ^ by Dr. J. O Willson. The eloquent c divine came with massive clusters of profound thought clothed in the r beautiful and chaste words of eternal truth that pierced the heart and irresistable appealed to the affections of his hearers. Dr. Willson is one of the ablest ministers in the South Carolina Conference and he captivat- j( ed his hearers and led them to the Q foot of the cross from whence flows ^ the waters of everlasting life. j g . . . - | w Congressman John Allen of Mis- i eissippi has given public notice of I il his unalterable purpose to retire to : s the shades of private life. He is ! A kuown to fame as '\Piivate John," I the humorist from Mississippi. 2 Piie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Juh 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor aod PubllKbwr. LEXINGTON. S. 0..

W WWW JBwWWmW WmW WWvs Letter from Arkansas. To the Editor of the Dispatch: By jour permission I have con eluded to write a short letter for the Dispatch giving jour readers a little news from Arkansas. I have been living here about ten years and I have found that this section of the country is the best poor man's home of any other section that I have evrr seen. Of course this section has its disadvantages as well as others, the idea of stieams of milk and honey and fritter trees and all such things is foolish talk. If a man gets his bread and butter, he should get it honestly in the sweat of his face. The soil here is generally very deep and fertile for ail crops. We use no fertilizers, or in other words we are not compelled to use any. Some few farmers around here are udng a little merely for experiment this year. We have no ''stock law," every man's stock runs at large and the hogs get fat on the mass nearly every winter we feeu them but little coin. Some farmers never feed their hogs an ear of corn from the time that they are pigs until they are killed. It rains a great deal here in the winter and spiiDg and occasionally the roads get almost impassibh; but in the summer and fall the reads get dry and smooth. There are lots of people here frcm South Carolina and I am glad of it I ei joy meeting wi h Carolinians, it 8.jems like home fo ks. Farmers here sie making good crops of wheat this year, which will save a good deal for them in the way of buying flour. Cittle raising here is becoming a very profitable busi nesa, and so is sheep raiting. Thie is certainly one of the best bee raising and honey producing sections of our country and any family caD have honey all the year around if they would buy a few stands of bees and care for them. If this does not fall into the waste basket I may write again. J. Pingree Simcns. Ramsev. Aik , June lib, 1900. Shake Into Your Shoes. Allen's Foot Eise, a powder.
