The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1893-06-28
An Enjoyable Week at Williamson.

The Rev, o. l.. Martin, of Anderson, de-
liyered on Wednesday night the com-
mencement sermon. His text was 25th
verse, 9th chapter of Corinthians. The
sermon was clear and logical, and was de-
liyered in that eloquent manner peculiar
to himself.
on Thursday night the Rev. Mr.. Bayes,
of Abbeville, delivered highly interest:
ing and amusing lecture on "Courtship."
The lecturer divided his lecture into three
parts: Let, How to court End, When to
conrt: and, 3rd, What to court. The leo
ture was delivered for the benefit Of two
Young ladies Of our town, who were just
about to graduate, Misses Bertha Ander-
son and Mary Auld. Mr.. Bayes kept the
audience in good humor the whole time.
AT the close of his lecture The young
graduates were called forward by the
President, who gave them bis parting in
junction and prayer that they may be
power for good. He then delivered to
them little book entitled, "What Next"
snd thew were then declared graduates of
the williamson Female College. They
should certainly be proud that they arc
such, for any one that finishes The course
here has something to boast of.
Last week has indeed been pleasant
and enjoyable one to every body in Will
liamston; visitors included. Quite num-
ber of graduates Of the College, as we'll as
strangers, were here to witness the closing
exercises of the Female College.
The most enjoyable occasion of last
week was the alumn@ reception at the
College last Friday night from to IL
O'Clock. Only twice before have the
alumn@ held receptions. They were 30
manifestly enjoyed by every cne that at
the business meeting on last Thursday
they decided to hold one every year here
after, as stated before. The other TWO were
pleasant occasions, but last Friday night
.'capped the climax" and was the most
ENJOYABLE one of all. The association had
appointed Messrs. G.. w. Sullivan, g. Fl.
Mahon and w. D. Hutto "com mittee on
introduction" They performed their du-
ties in the most satisfactory manner, ex.
cept when they changed q man g. little too
soon. Ice cream was elegantly served by
a committee of the alumne. F<om 8 till
IL O'Clock were the hours, but all we're
loath to leave at IL, and, in fast, many
fingered as long as possible.
At the meeting of the alumna, the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the next
