B. Butler's Magnificent Ad dress Before the Historical So ciety and Other Inter esting Events. The commencement exercises of Cooper-Limestone Institute fgx 1890 were inaugurated by a meeting of the Missionary Society in the chapel of the institute Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock, at which time the Rev. J. I). Grout delivered the missionary ser mon before the society, choosing as his subject the “Missionary-Spirit.” The sermon was replete with'happy situations and was splendidly deliv ered, the audience evincing its ap preciation by the close attention given the speaker throughout the en tire discourse. The meeting was pre sided over in happy style by the president, Miss Werts, while Prof. Mack delighted the audience with a brief history of the society. The so ciety has for its work this year the supporting of a missionary in Brazil, the missionary being a daughter of a Dr. It. H. Griffith, a former principal of the institute. A collection for missions was taken up at which a neat sum was realized. Monday at 10:30 a. m. the annual exercises of the Literary society took place. The following program was rendered in nice style: Piano duet—"Le-Mardi-Gras-aux Knfers tjuadrille,” C. Schubert—Miss Annie May Martin and Miss Matilda Croxton. Recitation—“Judy O’Shcar Sees Hamlet”—Miss Juliet Lipscomb. Essay—“The Glory of Our Age”— MissJennille Gwin. Address—Col. T. B. Butler. Last words of the president, Miss Minnie Parker, to the members of society. Col. Butle£j>-add'r(^ was of a his torical nature and The Ledger has heard a number of collpfrtiments passed upon it. The subject was clear and the delivery embraced the cardinal principles of attractive pub lic speaking—distinctive delivery and choice diction. The closing event of the commence ment was the pupils’ recital on Monday evening. The chapel was crowded to its utmost capacity, the pupils were at their best and the ex cellent program was exceedingly well rendered. Suppe’n “Boccaccio” by Misses Mack and Tyler, andNevara’s “Azure Skies,” by Miss Mabel Fort were well received, as was also Miss Marie Turner's rendition of “A Chapter' from Helen’s Babies.” Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Patience” was well rendered by Misses Smith and Lancaster, while Miss Juliet Lip- comb’s “Miss Witchazel and Mr. Thistlepod” was heartily received. Lynnes’ “He was a Prince,” by Miss Etta Manville, with piano ac companiment by Miss Carroll, showed improvement in Miss Manville’s voice. Bohm’s “Hussah Galop,” by Miss Tyles, showed evidence of study on her part. Master O. P. Richardson’s recita tion of “My First Singing Lesson” was unique. Miss Mabel Fort’s execution of Leavitte’s “May Waltz” on the violin proved hertobe an apt pupil of three months. Bohm’s “Mil. Galop” was exceed ingly well rendered by Miss Eva Ross and was liberally applauded. Her touch is very delicate for one of her years. Miss Lillian Wood's recitation of “Molly,” was all that could ho de sired and elicited hearly applause. Miss Annie Martin’s rendition of Heller’s “Tarantelle” was very good. She evidently possesses considerable talent. , Miss Ola Kendrick recited “Sell ing a Feller” and “Misi Huldah” in her usual charming manner. Misses Johnson and Uoss’ rendi tion of “Dame de Seville” was very well done. The gem of the recitations was Miss Bird Crawley’s “Life at a Fash ionable Hotel.” She is a charming little elocutionist. Miss Florence Griffith received lib eral applause for her splendid rendi tion of Hatter’s “Belles of New York.” Miss Nannie Cora Richardson’s rendition of tragipal “Annette,” was good and we would not be surprised to see her undertake and successfully perform some heavier work along that line. One of the most agreeable numbers of the evening, however, did not ap pear on the program. It was the rendition of several selections by an orchestra composed of Mrs. Fay Gaff ney, Misses Johnson and Fort, vio linists, Mr. M. G. Montgomery, cor- netist, and Prof. W. L. Johnson, pi anist. Prof. Mack’s compliment to the boys and young men of Gaffney was no more than they deserved and on behalf of them we return thanks to Other Local News on Pages 1 and 7. Hu* CoogbS In time. rmp. Sots I the genial professor and wish him all the success he so richly deserves. Prof. Johnson and Miss Hackney arc to be congratulated on the splen did achievements of their pupils. All the scholars have gone to their homes but The Ledgek hopes to see them all again next session together with a number of others. Get a Copy. Let Gaffney receive her neighbor’s call with duo civility. The ladies have been tendered the control of the Greenville News for the issue of one copy edited entirely by' woman’s pen. The good people of our sister city are brave and hopeful in building a hos- pitaLIor the urgent needs of the suf fering who are unable to accept far away provision for the varied mala dies to which we arc heir. These ephemeral editors respectfully beg The Ledger and Gaffney friends to use all interest and generously en courage the sale of their paper—only ten cents. This kindness will be treasured by grateful hearts who say to you, “find out man’s wants and sorrows, and meet them now.” Let Gaffney have a memorial brick in Greenville’s new hospital.

We would like to know why it is they .have not advertised to go to Grassy Pond, Allens, Allgood, Ezells and possibly other places in the pro posed new county. Is it a dodge to keep the people from registering? It certainly looks that way to us.
