The weather was favorable,
the crowd in attendance at

than heretofore, the exorcises were
of a high order ami were wall

amount of sickness anions tl.c pupils
for tiu* past two months.

Thursday night's ext reises were
probably Ine bt*st and most int. re&iing
feature of the entire program.
The innsieal conceit exceeded
the expectations of all,
especially when the short time
in whicn Miss Harris lias had
charge of the class, only four
uioiitiis, is taken into consideration.
There was a.so a contest bv
a class ot girls for a gold medal
given l?y Kev. 1{. A. Yotigue. The
girls all did remarkably well, Miss
Lileeker 1 arts b ing the successful
contestant. At the close ? I the
coneert and contest, 1'iuf. T. A
Salvo favored the audience with
several comic recitations and songs,
which well* greatly enjoyed.
Friday was eoinmeiieement day
proper. As early as in ?. in. a
large crowd h ut assembled, and
the exercises were opened by a
song, in whieh the entire school
took part, followed by prayer, then
an overture by the Gold Hill orchestra,
after which there were
contests for two irold
fered by tin* county superintendent
of education for tln< best i* ?*itution
and l>y the school f*?r the
best declamation. The former
was won by Miss Klsie lloyd and
tli?? latter by Mr. Lewis liailes.
An intermission of one hour was
^ iven at the close of the contests,
during which a picnic uinner was
enjoyed by all present.
After dinner the crowd a^ain
assembled in the school building
to hear other declamations and
recitations, i*old medals having
been otl'ered by lion. \V. 11. Slewart,
ol Kock lid!, and the school
The Stewart medal was won by
Mr. I). V. ICppS, and Miss Canonic

Mack, who was to have delivered a
literary address, Kev. K. A. Yonrpte
was reipi sted to make a speech.
In his usual happy style, Mr.
Vonoue entertained the crowd for
a short time, his theme beiurr lu?w
to invest n dollar so as to b;in?j

nit1 iii'-i results.
I'rnf. Jackson Hamilton was then
called upon by the patrons of the
school to make a speech. 11 is remarks
were appropriate to the
occasion ami were listened to with
marked interest by all.
At the close of the exercises a
handsome rocking el air was presented
to Mrs. Edna Fat is Kdwards
by Prof. Hamilton on behalf
of hot* pupils. During the
prt sent at ion Prof. Hamilton alluded
to Mis. Fdwards excellent
work for the past three years and
made some touching remarks as to
the parting of the teaclu r and her
pil I:i Is.
The next session of the school
will open on duly loth, with Prof.
Hamilton as principal, assisted by
Misses I'rsula I ihwikenship and
Mason Harris.
Prisoner is Nm tt. R Reese.
After all, it turns out that the
tmtn under arrest at Oxford, .Miss.,
was not the much desired .M. K
Reese. Mr. Newbohl, wie ll lie left,
stated that lie did not beiievo that
t he .M ississippi ant It or it ies had got
ten Keeso. The authorities tin re
were so positive, howeVi r. that the
governor t bought it absoltiU ly neeessary
to at least send some one to
see whether it ?;n tlie man wanted.
Sunday night t ?e following tele

Many said when the letter from
llie Oxtoid sheiitl lirst eaine that
Reese, having been smooth enough
to dig his way out of the York jail
in tlio manner he did, would have
sense enough to get far enough
away not to he captured eie-ilv.
This confidence in the fellow '.?
mental capacity, it now appears,
wan not misplaced.
