HOOPS SARsAPARILLA to be q reliable rem
edy, containing remedial agents which do
positively cure scrofula and eradicate 1t from
the blood.

DEAR MESSENGER We reached
our destination in safety, and on
time, on Saturday night last. The
object Of our visit to this flourish
ing city was to witness the Com
mencement Exercises Of the very
renowned Institution, known as
Wofford College Our friend who
was to have met us at the depot,
and who by the way was Mr.. l.. j.
Blake, a young man known to
many Of our readers, and who
on tomorrow is to be declared a
graduate Of this reputable school
Of learning, standing high in his
classes and his societies, was sick,
and confined to his room. We
made our way to the Merchants
Hotel, where we registered for the
night. Overlooking the register,
whose name should we find, but
that Of Mr.. p. B. Sellers, Of Marion,
graduate Of the class Of 80, and
an old college-mate and friend; a
young man Of sterling ability, and
whowas admitted recently, at Col
umbia into the legal fraternity.
Such men as those we have men
toned are bound to make their
mark in this world, and will reflect
great credit on Woford College.
Two Of our friends came in pur-
suit Of us Sunday morning, and
soon we found ourself in the pres
ence Of our very hospitable host.
1t was our pleasure to hear the
Baccalaureate Sermon, delivered
by Bishop Geo. F. Pierce, Of Geor.
gia. He is one Of the finest di-
vines in the Southern States, and
one Of the purest men in the
world. His text, "He that walk
eth uprightly walketh surely,' was
exceedingly appropriate, and the
sermon upon it was a most mag
nificent one. He has been in fee

and rest. But the words Of wis

expression, and his sermon will
never be forgotten. The music on
this occasion was grandly render

This cultivated and highly refined
city will challenge comparison
with any other Of the like size in
the United States, in the line of
musical talent. The organist was

On Monday morning the debate
Of the Calhoun Literary Society
took place in the College Chapel.
The query:
Resolved; ''That the reading Of

cial than injurious" was ably de-
bated by Messrs. Robert Morrison
and Paul Petty, Of S. c., on the

ative.
All these are young men Of good

the happy recipients Of beautiful
bouquets and other gifts from ad-
mlring friends. The debate was
presided over by Mr.. G.. p. Wofford,
Of the bar Of Spartanburg, and a
graduate Of Wofford. His speech
was one Of the finest ever spoken
from that College Rostrum. It was
deep and full Of application, and
was delivered in manner that
would attract attention from a
large crowd Mr.. w. M. Lester
was the Valedictorian. The sclec-
ton Of this man was wise one,
and not only did it reflect credit
upon himself, but upon the society
Of which he was fair representa-
tive. and loyal member.
On the evening Of the same day.
the Annual debate OF Preston Lit
erary Society was held. It's repre-

Of S. c., on the negative. The au-
dience was very large one. Mr..
L. &. Raysor, Of Orangeburg, S. c.,
and a member Of that bar, was the
presiding officer. He presided with
a great deal Of ease, and addressed
the young men in a very pleasant
manner with matter that held fast
their earnest attention. Mr. NJ.

Of a resident reputable physician,
