iect of his choice as he passes by.
If the girl takes it up, she signifies
her acceptance, and her refusal il
she allows il to remain. With us

Shuquaiak Female College.

DEAR BEACoN:-l will give YOU a
few lines in regard to the Commence
ment Exercises of ShuQua ak Female
College. On last Sabbath morning, at
10 O'Clock, the young ladies of the Col
legc, numbering about 100, met at the
Institute, formed n procession and
marched to the church. They prcscn-
ted u fine appearance, all in uniform,
their fair faces flushed with youth and
beauty, and all seemed happy in
the anticipation of a pleasant time dn-
ring the closing exercises of the school.
Rev. a. ID. Miller, of Aberdeen, de-
livcrcd the Commencement Sermon
1t was not only fraught with good al
vice, suitable for this hallowcd occa-
sion, but | feel assured he made deep
impression upon the minds of his
Young hearers by his earnest manner
and eloquent words. lie particularly
warned them hot to unite their dcsti-
mics with young men of idle and dis.
sipatcd habits, for in so doing they ran
the fearful risk ef drinking the cup Of
sorrow and degradation to its very
drcgs. His audience was large and
muny on the outside could no, be scat
ed.
The Calisthenic Exercises took pls &C
Monday evening at the Institute in the
presence of u large audience, and the
drill was exceedingly graceful and
pleasing. Mr.. Gilbert of the A. & NJ.
College, Miss Annie Wilder of Sum
ter county, Ala, and DR.. p. II. Ilamil.
ton of our town, were appointed 4
committee to select the best drilled
and most graceful pupil in all the ovo-
buttons. II was q difficult matter TO
decide, but they finally selected Miss
Carrie 9aretsky from among the large
girls and Miss Edna Stone from among
The small girls, as the most graceful
and best drilled, and TO these the prizes
were awarded. The srccitations were
perfect add altogether the occasion
was a brilliant one and the audience
was much pleased, especially with the
music Miss May Nethcry discourscd
during the Exercises.
The celebration of the Philomathcar
Society took place on Tuesday at Il
O'Clock, and there was a large and in
telligent audience present. The Exer.
cises were opened with prayer by Rev
Mr.. Ray, OF Enterprise, after which
