The commencement exercises of the Colored
High school took place at the Capital theater Wed
nesday evening, and was witnessed by crowded
assembly of colored citizens. There were seven

training received from their instructors and also
did credit to themselves
The ladies of the Southern Methodist church
gave dinner three days during the week, and en-
tertained many of the delegates here at the con-
vention. The zeal and good luncheons, for which
these ladies are characterized, was hansomely en-
Outraged, and gave them good financial lift to-
ward the new church parlors in course of con-
structon.
This afternoon Saturday Mr.. Thomas J. LAT
ferty leads to the altar one of Little Rocks pretti
est brunette madens, Miss Mabel Morgan. Miss
Mabel is too well known as much admired and
talented elocutionist to need more than mention,
and Mr.. Lafferty is to be congratulated in having
won so estmable and amiable wife. They will
leave on the evening train and will take trip
abroad lasting several months, and will make their
future home in Little Rock on their return.
The entertainment at Concorda hall Thursday
evening, for the benefit of the Band of Hope, was
we'll attended, and the youthful actors did credit
TO themselves and their managers. Space will not
permit our mentioning all of the participants, but
Mr.. Hemstead, in the character of ''Hapzabah,
Lady of Color with his various feminine cos
tunes, brought down the honse. We hope the
entertainment was as much of success financially
as it was otherwise.

An Easy Way to Obtain Watch.
The Importance of advertising has been duly ex-
emplified in the last fortnight here in Little Rock
by the unparalleled number of watches sold by
Mr.. Louis &. Bernays. Through the ingenuity of
this enterprising merchant, watch has been
placed within the monetary reach of everyone. He
has devised little scheme which will enable you
to become the owner of watch, and handsome
one too, by small payments which you will hardly
accredit will enttle you to watch of your own in
short time. From all adjoining states, and from
distance as WE'LL have come in hundreds of
orders. He is to be congratulated upon his wide
awake manner of doing business and the public as
well upon the opportunity thus offered ''Never
ct your chances like the sunbeams pass you by"
but If you do not possess watch or you desire to
own better one, call upon him and see what he
offers you. L. G. BERNAYs, 1l6 Main street.
