THE NINTH ANNUAL Session Of mi,
model and successful Institution closed
last night In a most brilliant manner, leav-
ing bright place In the memory Of those
who we're fortunate enough 20 be present,
that years Of mixing and mingling with
the stern realities Of the world will not e.
face. The interest manifested by the pub
lie in the various exercises attending the
commencement, shows how warm a place
the Institution occupies In its heart
and speaks volumes in praise Of the ex-
oellent management that has brought il to
that point which makes il 20 justly a pride
to the town and county. For seven years
the faithful aud accomplished principal,
Mrs, $. y. Trueheart, with a corps Of com
petent assistants, has labored untiringly
and earnestly to elevate and improve the
school, and each year has seen IL steady
advancement, gill now IL has attained that
degree Of perfection that makes il equal 10
any, and excelled by no other school Of
the kind in the State. The patronage du.
ring the past session was not what il should
have been, but when we consider the strin-
gency Of the times an average attendance
Of about one hundred scholars is far from
di.couraging. We are glad TO know, how
ever, that the prospects are very hatiering
for the next session, aud We doubt not
that the 2nd Monday in September will
bring largely increased number Of pu-
pills. The school richly deserves IL, and
il should be the pride Of every parent in
the county, 10 patroni1e and assist In main
tanning 30 important home ins.itotion.
The healthy location, the thorough course
Of study. and the maternal care given all
intrusted to Il, peculiarly recommends the
school to parents at distance, who can
send their daughter, confident that they
will receive a genuine home attention and
a superior education. But 10 the exerci-
see. AZ usual they were inaugurated by a
COMMENCEMENT SERMON,
which was preached last Sunday, in the
Court-house, by Rev. DIR. A. W. Wilson, Of
Nashville, Tennessee, from the 2nd verse
Of the 18th chapter Of Romans ''Be not
oonformed to this world; but be ye trans
formed by a renewing Of your mind. thai
Te may prove what Is that good, and ae-
ceptable and perfect will Of God" The
fame that had preceded the distinguished
speaker, led the audience TO fix its expecta-
ton high, but exalted as il was. the full
measure was more than compassed, and
the general verdict is, that it was one Of
the most eloquent aud appropriate sermons
ever delivered in Stanford. We wish il
was in our power 10 10 give the full text
Of it, or even a synopsis, hut DIR. Wilson
uses no notes and il would be idle for us to
attempt even To give an outline Of il from
memory and do him justice. The crowd
ed audience, which was made up Of the
beet citizens Of this and adjoining counties,
listened with the closest attention, and al
though the speaker occupied one hour and
twenty minufss, iSere was not the slightest
indication q impatiSuce.
