object, Gentlemen whose whiskers are
shy of making their appearance in force,

famous, will find this HAIR PERsUADER
the most wonderful eneoufager of fbrous
Development that has ever yet been in

it, as, by all odds, it is the best article
for improving the growth and beauty OF
the hair, keeping it free from scurf and

harsh, dry and gray-giving it rich
gloss and endowing it with hexibility-

The exhibition given at the Memphis
Club Hall last night by the young
ladies of the Memphis Ladies' Institute
was most brilliant affair, and reflected
credit on Mrs. Fannie P. McGehee, prin-
cipal. and the faculty of the school, The
hail was filed to its utmost capacity
early in the evening, and perhaps the
only thing that detracted from the en-
joyment Of the entertainment at ell
was the denseness Of the crowd which
kept continually surging to and fro in
such way as to mar the effect Of an
essay or piece Of music, for those who
occupied back seats"
1.-THE programme consisted Of music,
recitations and essays, and embraced
some most charminglyl rendered vocal
and instrumental solos and choruses
The three essays delivered were written
blythe graduates, Misses JennieMeGehee
Como, Mississippi; and Kate L. Murphy
and Mollie Murphy Memphis, The
last named lady did not appear, owing
to illness, and her composition was read
by Miss Sallie M. Buchanan The
essays were all beautifully written and
gracefully read.K The entertainment
commenced with well executed duet
BY Misses Kate McGehee and Sallic Ma
han, followed by full chorus. Miss
Salhe Patterson then gave a very pleas
ing recitation, and Miss Annie Duncan
followed with an admirable piano solo.
A beautiful recitation THE Fount OF OBJ
livion," was rendered in good style by
Misses Ida Robertson and Mollie Barr
row. A piano solo, " Sans Souce Galop,"
was admirably executed by Miss Sallie
H. Whitmore, of Memphis, and was
highly appreciated Misses Eta James,
Ellen Koran and .Sallie Mahan likewise
gave some admirable renderings of the
best composers. REGULATIONS were given
by Misses Eddin Perry, Sallie M, Blu
chanan, Sallie Patterson, Of Memphis,
and Annie F. Whitehead, of Helena,
Arkansas. d At the conclusion of the ex-
ercises degrees were conferred by Rev.

STAGE RoMAHCE.-Ye sterday Esquire
Miller, who is recognized as the most

tic scenes upon the stage, the twain
we're simultaneously struck with that
thought so softly bodied forth, and so
suggestive of the single thought of two
souls and the undivided beating Of two
hearts. Esquire Miller performed the
interesting ceremony in just exactly
thirty-eight seconds after the license was
placed in his hands, a feat never accom-
plished before by even the fastest magis-
trate Of the County Court bench. Mr..
Christy is a well-known and popular va
riety stage manager, and Miss Duane a
character vocalist Of no Insignificant
pretensions.
