Holly SPRINGS, June 26.-The school
commeneements are over at last The
s0iree last Friday night at Maury In
stitute was the finale. This institution
has Just ended its third year, yet its repu-
iation is already established as a first-class
school for young ladies'. Last summer it
was found necessary to build an addition,
so rapidly had the school grown. This is
really home school for girls, where they
receive the best home training and are
surrounded by Christian influences. From
the time a girl enters the school she is
treated as member of the family of Judge
J. w. @. Watson, at whose residence the
school is conducted, and its principal,
Miss L. d. Watson (herself an expert
eneed and successful instructress) spares
no pains to secure the best teachers in
each department
