Rev. j. w. Beall preached his last sermon
before Conference on Sunday morning last
In his sermon he gave sketch OF southern
Methodism and Of its growth during the last
twenty years. Not only are members being
added but there are today more colleges and
academies being built by this denomination
in Virginia than by any other denomination
in any other state; and to day its growth is
more rapid than that of any other denomina-
ton. as regards territory. Only few years
back, when Southern MethOdism was in ITS
infancy, there was one thousand where TO-DAY
can be counted tens of thousands. Her MIS-
sionaries are doing a grand work, TOO, ;'s
can be seen by the papers.

celebration at New Windsor college.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate
Washington's Birthday was celebrated at
New Windsor College by the Arolathian and
Philokalian Literary Societies, in College
Hall, on Friday night, the 10th. The following
program was carried out in a manner which
reflected much credit not only upon the per-
formers, but upon those who trained them.
Following is the program:
Greeting (Philokalian), Mr.. l.. A. Smelser;
Greeting (Arolathian), Miss Anna f. Lyon;
chorus, "Welcome," Arolathian and Philo-
kalan Literary Societies; tableau, "Flower
of the Family" Miss Jennie Mussina; recita-
ton and tableau, 'Song of the Shirt, Miss
Katherine Brewer, Misses Nettie Lambert,
Fannie Lambert, Masters Evans and Macomb;
piano solo, Miss G. A. Wishart; scenes from
Merchant of Venice pantomime, Cupid
in the Kitchen" Grafton, Washington, the
Father of Nations and the Defender of Their
Liberty Mr.. w. W. Gearhart; tableau,
"Height of Sentiment piano solo, Miss
quet;" Gypsies' Festival; farce, ''John Smith;
fan drill.
The College never was so full as now, and
at no one time ever had so many advanced
students. There are now large number of
candidates for the ministry and other learned
professions. The discipline of the College is
-"Suaviter in modo fortiter in re"
The good conduct OF the students before,
during and after the performance showed the
hands of masters in the professors and teach
ers. The system of dement's inaugurated at
the beginning of the present scholastic year
works like a charm. When certain number
of dement's is reached the Students name is
stricken from the roll and there it ends.
After the entertainment on Friday night col
lations we're served to the young ladies in
their corridors, and to the young men in the
dining hall.
The after collation. speeches were witty,
and some of them truly eloquent. Prof. +.
H. Norman was appointed master of ceremo-
MES, and to his call the following responded:
Prof John T. Ensor, Mr.. w. w. Gearhart,
Mr.. Thos. T. Brown, Master Archie LOOMS,
Mr.. Guy Warner, Prof VIM. b. Smith, Mr.
B. B. BIackford, Mr.. John C. Howard, Mr..

r. Nelson, Mr. W. r. Thirkield, Mr.. c. &.

More room for incoming students is now
the question to be considered and settled.
President Jelly has been obliged to decline
applicants for the want of place to put them.
