magnificent institution. The first
on the programme of the evenings
exercises was an overture, Crown
Diamonds, by Misses sproul, Nor
ris, Biggs, Wells, Yancey, Barker,
Lasley, Lacy, Williams and Ford.
1t was thoroughly appreciated, as
was also the violin solo by Miss
Pearl Williams. The essay, or
grafton, "First Person Singular, ~
by Miss Leona Barker, was one far
beyond the average. Miss Barker
is a very bright and intelligent
young lady, and the applause at
the close by the large audience
was appropriate in token of their
appreciation on this occasion. The
guitar solo by Miss Eva Ross was
duly appreciated. The essay, "In-
dependence of Thoughts" by Miss
Rebbie Biggs, was very brilliant
and displayed intelligence through
out, demanding the closest atten-
ton from the beginning. The
vocal solo by Miss Lottie shidler
was very pleasing, and the
prolonged applause by her many
admiring friends displayed their
appreciation. Next came the val
edictory by Miss Nina Smith, and
in her original, mild and lady-like
way she held the audience spell
bound. Miss Smith, on this occa-
sion, not only did herself honor
and justice, but also Hardin Col
lege as graduate. Miss Rebbie
Biggs then favored the audience
with a piano solo, and naturally
an enthusiastic encore followed.
Prof. A. K. Yancey then de-
livered diplomas to Misses Leona
Barker and Rebbie Bigg, the B. L.
graduates, and Miss Ninna Smith,
the A. B. graduate, after which
followed a few appropriate remarks
by Rev. Williams, of Chillicothe.
To the delight of her many friends,
Miss BerlIah Williams favored the
audience with a piano solo on the
prize piano, and the loud applause
that followed testified to its appre-
citation. The delivery Of distinc.
