was brim full of sense and truth. He
completely captivated the large audience,
and was heartily applauded throughout.
At the close of Mr.. Behring'S address, a
short prayer was offered up to the
Throne of the Most High, the audience
dismissed and the session declared to be
at an end.
The town has presented a gay and
lively appearance during the entire
week. A large number of visitors are
here. Bevies of handsomely dressed
ladies can be seen at ali times of the day
promenading in every direction, while
gallant young gentlemen, in large num-
bers are accompanying them, or crowd
ing the halls of the hotels and stores
and private dwellings. The scene here,
this week reminds us to some extent of
90 Examination Week here twenty
five years ago, when old Doctor Jones
had the Female College in successful
and glorious operation, and we think
from the signs of the times that the
same, or perhaps greater, prosperity is in
the near future for our College again.
All that is necessary is for the public to
know the advantages here offered for
the acquisition of solid, useful and
sound education for the daughters of the
people, and the halls of that splendid
building will be crowded by hundreds
every year.
We have always commended that the
one great interest of Rogersville was in
building up her schools. Shut off as the
town is from the great arteries of com
merce and trade, there is absolutely
nothing else in our reach. We must
make Rogersville the great :" Educa-
tional Centre" for this whole region of
country, or the old town will simply re
main as the place for the Court House of
Hawkins county, and will not number
a thousand Inhabitants a half century
from to-day. Now is our opportunity.
President Wilson is a working man.
He is a man of wonderful energy, and
knows no such words as fail. He seems
to be tireless; difficulties do not daunt
him; hard-times do not frightent him.
Starting out to make Rogersville Female
College a live, vigorous institution, he
has gone forwarCSstep by step until he
has, as we think, placed his school upon
a firm foundation.
The eager and interested crowd of
visitors who have thronged the village
this week-ladies and gentlemen of re
inement and intelligence = should be
taken by him as showing that his ar
1uOus labors here are beginning to be
abroad, and that before long
