AT the conclusion of Capt. Bonham's

Prof. Ligon then returned tho thanks
OF the Faculty to tho Young America
Cornet Band for the excellent music fur

audience for their presence and the inter.

good order maintained. Thus ended the
Commencement of 1884.
The School has closed very successful
session, having had one hundred and
forty-fivo students in attendance. The
next session will begin about tho 1st of
September, when it is expected the num-
Der of pupils will exceed the number in
attendance during the past session. Profs.
Ligon and Reed arc determined to make
the School the equal of any in the South.
We see no reason why they shonld not,
for they are thoroughly competent and
fitted for their profession; they have
commodious buildings, which are we'll
supplied with all the necessary appli-
ances, &C., for the modern school room,
and, besides, Anderson is healthy loca-
ton, and has many superior advantages
over other towns and cities. Parents con-
sending their boys away from
home to school could not do better than |
to place them in the Anderson Military |
School.
