COMMENCEMENT.
Our Martin College Gives creditable
Evidences of Excellent Man
agement.
Thorough Examinations and Grand
Musical Exhibitions.

The further that our splendid in
stitutlon of learning, Martin Col
lege, wins it way into the confidence
of our home people, and the bright
er and brighter its light shines to
those at a distance, and the grander
proportions it assumes as it marches
with irresistible tread toward that
shining standard of excellence
which even now marks.it one of the
very first of its kind in the Sunny
South, even so does the week which
embraces its annual commencement
grow with each succeeding year to
be the most important and eagerly
looked-for event that transpires
with US. The Annual Commence
ment for 1879 was Inaugurated last
Sunday at the NJ. E. Church by a
Commencement sermon by Rev. j.
d. Barbee, synopsis of which we
give elsewhere, and in the examina-
ton of classes Monday. On Mon
day Afternoon in the splendid Col
lege Chapel, before a magnificent
audience of patrons and visitors, q
musical matinee was produced which
not only gave great pleasure to
those who can appreciate good mu-
sic and who are capacitated to see
the footprints of excellent training
in the performances of the pupils,
but it was a satisfaction to all
friends of Martin College to see
and know that the opportunities for
a musical education at this institu
ton are limited only by the con-
fines of the art itself absolutely
unexcelled. Below we give the
