A Masterly Address by Mr. C. A. Woods of Marion—Presentation of Medal to First Honor Graduate by Mr. P. A. Willcox—Music Adds Pleasure to the Occasion. Commencement—the word sug gests happy things and times and in the midst of such is this com munity just now. The heart of a town is its schools, and a touching of the heart brings ready and beau tiful response. This was evidenced last night at the opera house, where a part of the closing exercises of the city graded schools were held. Many children were there—all bright and happy, and mainy parents were there happy in that the children were happy. So it was a happy gathering. Why? Because the heart of the town had been touched, and this gathering was but the response. The members of the graduating class were seated on the stage to gether with the board of commis sioners and the speakers of the evening. A few minutes before eight o'clock the exercises wore opened with prayer by Rev. H. R r i _ ent Mann introduced the speaker of the evening. Mr. C. A. Woods, of Marion. Mr. Woods, a gentle man whose broad culture is known and appreciated in this section, arose and delivered address, his subject sidedness.” The writer would feign give complete synopsis of the address, but he cannot do so with any de. gree of accuracy. It was, in gen eral terms, a plea for broad and liberal culture, and, in effect, was like a refreshing shower of rain upon a parched earth. Showers of beautiful thoughts fell upon listening ears, and those who hearc felt that they had been lifted into an atmosphere as pure as the snow, as bright as the sun and as broad as the heavens. The speaker, drawing his illus trations from history, first showed the effects of one-sidedness, o narrow-mindedness, on human character. Citing instances o cruel religious persecutions, he pointed out to what lengths men will go who are one-sided, who are crank sided, who have but one idea, who lack liberality, who, in other words, have not that broac culture which should characterize the highest type of man. He then spoke of the tendencies of this age to specialize, which narrows the mind, deadens the sentiments and prevents a proper appreciation of what life really is The physician, said he for in stance, who studies nothing but medicines will become a quack, the lawyer who copfines himself to law will degenerate into a petti jogger, the preacher who confines himself entirely to theology wil eventually be a bigot, and the farmer who gives all his time to agriculture will become a veritable clod-hopper. In closing the speaker drew a beautiful lesson from the opera Siegfried and applied it to our own State. As the beautiful Brunn- hilde was awakened from her long sleep in the mountain fastnesses by Siegfried who was honored as a hero, so he w ho wakes our State to a full realization of her capabilities in the field of broad culture will be of God’s heroes. And this IN PERSONAL VEIN SOME ARE 0UI\ OWN PEOPLE AND SOME ARE NOT. one honor, said he, is given to us all— “even unto you and me.” At the conclusion of this address Mr. P. A. Willcox was introduced. He delivered the medal to the Fust honor graduate. Mr. Willcox Biaoie a charming speech, and he wasdi.eard with peculiar interest because the winner of the medal was hot known until he* called the the name. Mr. Willcox spoke briefly, but his words were hap pily chosen, and at the end he pre set itH the medal to Miss Marie ‘Dt< lm re rison. ‘his was aH and tin audience dismissed, having been de- tfully entertained, not ohSly in- ctually, but csthetically N \as by selections of sweet mus by a string band, it be said here that there was aot even a suggestion of dis r.

A ripple of excitement disturbed the quiet of our streets this morn ing. The cause was a runaway horse with a w'agon attachment. The horse, which belongs to Mr. A. A. Cohen, became frightened at something just in front of the store of L. S. Welling ic Co., and tore at a mad pace toward Lake’s corner. He rounded the corner all right enough, but just beyond it ran into Mr. Albert Muldrow’s buggy completely demolishing one rear wheel, and then collided with Mr. Barnes’ wagon breaking the cross bar and single tree. Mr. Muldrow was thrown out of his buggy but without hurt, and the driver of Mr. Barnes wagon was stunned for a moment by his fall. Strange to say the wagon drawn by the running horse was not hurt at all, though the horse broke loose fr om it and left it in the street.
