in a most satisfactory manner.

only a dollar to spend, for his counters
are full of bargains. The times are hard,
and every dollar saved is a dollar made.
The ladies, especially, should not fail to
give him a call.

The Anderson Military School.
The Commencement exercises of this
deservedly popular educational institute
began last Thursday evening and contin?
ued through Friday and Friday evening,
and throughout they were highly satis?
factory and gratifying to all whose pleas?
ure it was to attend.
The exercises took place in the spacious
chapel of the school building, which has
been the scene of so many brilliant occa?
sions of similar character. Tho rostrum
was decorated in a simple but beautiful
manner, showing that fair hands had
come to the assistance of the cadets.
On Thursday evening the weather was
a little threatening, but, despite this fact,
i at 3* o'clock the chapel was filled to its
J utmost seating capacity with a very intel?
ligent audience, many persons having
come from some distance in the country.
The rostrum was occupied by tho facul?
ty, the cadets who were to speak and
representatives of the pulpit and press.
At the appointed hour the exercises of
the evening opened with a lively air by
the Young America Cornet Band, after
which Rev. Thos. F. Gadsden offered up
a fervent prayer for God's blessing upon
the educational institutions of our coun?
try, and especially upon those in our
own midst. Prof. Ligon then, in a few
remarks, thanked the audience for the
interest manifested in the exercises by
their presence, and concluded by intro?
ducing, as the first speaker for the even?
ing, Mr. Ralph W. Brown, of this city,
who made an excellent speech on tho sub?
ject, ''If Priam's sonsslumbor, Troy must
fall."
Mr. Brown was followed by Mr. C. H.
Cannon, of Newberry, who delivered a
well-prepared speech on the subject of
"Personal Influence."
Tho next speaker was Mr. C. F. Young,
of Lowudesville, who had chosen "Jour
nalum" as his subject. It was a very
go.>d speech.
Mr. W. L. Anderson, of Anderson
County, followed next, with a forcible
speech on "The Evils of Whiskey."
Capt. F. C. DuPro, of Abbeville, fol?
lowed Mr. Anderson, on the subject, "Im?
provement of Time," which ho handled
in an able manner.
Mr. M. Gassaway, of Anderson County,
was the last speaker. His subject was tho
"Force of Habit," and his speech was a
fine one.
These young gentlemen acquitted them?
selves in a mcst excellent manner, which
was no doubt very gratifying to their
teachers as well as to their friends. The
speeches were short but full of argument,
evincing fertile brains. Each speaker
was liberally applauded, and as soon as
he would take his seat the marshals
would advance and pile numerous bou?
quets upon his lap, the offerings of lair
friends in the audience.
The speeches were interluded with ex?
cellent music from the Young America
Cornet Band.
At 10* o'clock Friday morning another
large audience was present. Tho exer?
cises wore opened with prayer by Rev. T.
P. Bell, after which the following boys,
in the order named, delivered extract
speeches upon the subjects quoted :
Wiley Darden, Anderson?"Beauties of
Nature."
Walter Watson, Anderson ?"Hohen?
linden."
Newton Brown, Anderson?"Sword and
Staff."
Ernest Wakefield, Abbeville County?
"Patter of the Shingle."
Joo McGee, jr., Anderson?"Rienzi to
the Romaus."
Frank Moorhead, Anderson County?
"Fuss at Fires."
J. Olin Mattison, Donalds?"America."
Edgar Scott, Anderson?"Alliugton's
Defence."
Geo. A, Miller, Anderson County?"Bi?
vouac of tho Dead."
Keys McCnlly, Anderson?"Marnnon
and Douglass."
The extracts wore well delivered.
Those delivered by Ernest Wakefield and
Frank Moorhead were humorous and
brought down tho houso. Tho city of
Anderson and tho Anderson Military
School may well bo proud of the number
of fine, promising boys growing up to
take the place of the young men now pre?
pared for College and for tho active du?
ties of life. It may be well to state that
these boys did not know they would be
expected to speak until the Monday pre?
vious.
At 12 o'clock Rev. Wra. Henry Strick?
land, of Shelby, N. C, delivered tho an?
nual Commencement address, his subject
being the "Bright Side of Things." His
address was thoroughly interesting from
the beginning to its close, abounding in
wit, sarcasm and mirth, impressing
wholesome truths in a most pointed and
abusing manner. His audionce was re?
peatedly convulsed with laughter, aud he
held their untiring attention throughout.
Mr. Strickland is a strong speaker, and
with an exhauslless supply of anecdote
and practical illustration, never fails to
instruct as well as to please an audionce.
The music for the day was furnished by
a baud made up of the school boys, con?
sisting of a cornet, guitar, two or three
harmonicas and a triangle. The boys
played altogether by ear, but they made
Hue music, and it was highly enjoyed by
the audience.
Tho weather was threatening again on
Friday night, but this did not prevent a
largo turn out of people, aud by Si o'clock
the chapel was filled with a larger audi?
ence than on the preceding evening. Tho
exercises of tho evening were under the
auspices of the Calophomian Literary So?
ciety. After prayer by Rev. T. P. Boll,
Mr. Ralph W. Brown, Presidont of tho
Society, in a few appropriate remarks,
welcomed the audience, and announced
the following query for the debate: "Is
the mind of woman inferior to that of
man ?" The affirmative side of tho ques?
tion was represented by Messrs. M. M.
Lander, of Williamston, and M. 0. Ligon,
of Andorson, and the negative by Messrs.
W. H. Strickland, jr., of Shelby, N. C,
and P. T. Gadsden, of Anderson. These
young gentlomon maintained their re?
spective sides of tho question in an ablo
raanner, and their speeches iwould have
been very creditable to a college gradu?
ate. The speeches wcro well received by
the audience, and tho young gentlemen
deserved tho liberal applauso and numer?
ous bouquets of Jlowcrs they received.
At tho conclusion of the dobalo, Mr. K.
E. Browne, of Anderson County, was in?
troduced and niado a fine speech on the
subject, "What uro you going to do?"
T1ju'mjh!vcIi was full of wliolosoiuc advico
to his fellow-students. I to was followed
by Mr. M. M. Mattison, of Donalds, who
spoke on the subject. "A good cause
makes a stout heart." His speech was a
fiuo production.
The exorcises were concluded with tho
valedictory address by Mr. V. I. Masters,
of Anderson County, who acquitted him?
self in an admirable manner. .
The Young America Cornot Baud was
present and rendered delightful music at
intervals during tho evening.
Thus closed another prosperous year of
tho Anderson Military School. The ex?
ercises throughout reflected the greatest
credit upon Profs. Ligon and Clinkscales,
who have few equals as teachers of boys.
The Art Exhibition.
Tho Art Exhibition of the Anderson
Female Seminary on last Tuesday even?
ing attracted a large crowd of the lovers
of the beautiful. The collection was made
up of work oxecuted during tho past ses?
sion. There wore about one hundred and
forty specimens displayed, and some of
them would bear favorable comparison
with the work of more pretentious artists.
Out of the many, we regret to be able
only to mention a few of the pictures.
Among the oil paintings, the following
appeared to us as the most meritorious:
By Mrs. Ayer: "Spring," a figure clad in
delicate green, typical of that season, "A

tho Stag" (from Landsecr's), "Moonlight

Donald's "Kelpio" and "Malcolm."

Among the crayon work, the following

Miss Eva ; also one of Mr. D. Prue Sloan,
by the same fair artist.
A portrait of her father, by Miss Lizzie
Wilkinson.

There were a number of cards, panols,
plaques {brass, porcelain, wooden, tin
and papier mache), and vases exhib
exhibited, all of which elicited gen?
eral admiration. Even the unskilled
in matters of art could appreciate tho
.many works that eloquently bespoke tho
untiring zeal and the thorough competen?
cy Miss Goodman, as a teacher, has dis?
played. Sho leaves for her home in Vir?
ginia in a few days, and in the regret,
which her many pupils feel at her depart?
ure, the entire community joins, and bids
her success wherever hor future field of
labors may be.
This exhibtion was the opening of the
Commencement exercisos of the Semina?
ry, which conclude Friday evening.

Hero's Good Proof.
The annexed testimonial from a well
known citizen of his character is the most
convincing argument that can be given
as to the value and merits of Calisaya
Tonic as the great Southern Remedy:
Atlanta, Ga., September 1st.
Messrs. Westmoreland Bros. Gents.?I
got from you a bottle of Calisaya Tonic
lor my little daughter, who had been
prostrated with fever, and was very weak,
and had no appetite. She had not used
moro than half the bottle before she had
an excellent appetite, and regained her
strength with astonishing rapidity. I be?
lieve it to bo an excellent tonic.
Yours truly. Charlie F. Hoke.
Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic, the
great Southern Remedy, is now put up in
square amber colored quart bottles, with
beautiful lithographic label, and a red
metal cap over the cork, with the follow?
ing imprint in top of cap : "Westmore?
land's Calisaya Tonic. Westmoreland

Curo for Piloa.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to sup?
pose he has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp?
toms of indigestion arc present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A mois?
ture like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is
a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica?
tion of Dr. Bosanko's Pilo remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, absorb?
ing the Tumors, allaying the intense itch?
ing, and effecting a permanent cure. Price
50 cents. Address The Dr. Bosanko Medi?
cine Co., Piqua, 0. Sold by Orr de Sloan,

ATTENTION TO IT NOW.
Many suffering people drag themselves
about with failing strength, feeling that
they are steadily sinking into tho grave,
when by using Parker's Tonic they
?would lind a cure commencing with the
first dose, and vitality and strength surely
coming back to them.
"I am 63 years old; have boen sick
nearly all my life, and ought to know
something about medicine by this time.
I have used Parkors's Tonic freely for
more than a year, and consider it tho best
remedy I have ever known. In fact, I
now find no other medicine necessary.
For weakness, debility, rheumatism, and
that distressing all-goneness and pain
from which I suffered so long, it has no
equal. I do not see how any one can
afford to do without so valuable a medi?
cine."?Mrs. Hattie N. Graves, cor.

A LITTLE GOLD WAS SPENT.
Mr. Z. A. Clark, of Atlanta, Ga., in
speaking of $480,000 in gold, desires to
say to the readers of this paper, that the
whole of the above amount was spent in
a fruitless effort in finding relief from a
terrible Blood Poison affecting his body,
limbs and nose?presenting ugly running
ulcers. He is now sound and well,
having been cured by the most speedy
I and wonderful remedy every before
i known, and any interested party who
may need a Blood Purifier will lear from
him that three bottles of B. B. B. restored
his appetite, healed all ulcers, relieved his
kidnej's, and added twenty-ono pounds
to his weight in thirty days. For salo by

"MOTHER'S FRIEND"
Not only shortens the time of la?
bor and lessens the intensity of
Sain, but it greatly diminishes the
anger to life of both mother and
child and leaves the mother in a
condition highly favorable to speo
dy recovery, and far less liable to
Flooding, Convulsions, and other
alarming symptoms incident to
slow or painful labor. Its wonder?
ful efficacy in this respect entitles
it to be called "Mother's Friend"
and to be ranked as one of the life
saving remedies of the nineteenth
century.
From the nature of the case, it
will of course be understood that
we cannot publish certificates con?
cerning this remedy without woun?
ding tlie delicacy of the writers.
Yet we have hundreds of such tes?
timonials on file.
