A SHORT OUTING AT MAGNOLIA.

The editor of THE LEADER ran down
to Magnolia yesterday morning, re
turning on the cannon ball, and had
the pleasure of witnessing the closing
exercises of the Magnolia College.
This institution is in charge of Prof.
w. X. Nettles, assisted during the ses-
sion just closed by Prof. W. n. Har-
dee and Misses Jessie Wright, Emma
Hyer and LYNNE Smith, and is the
pride of the town and surrounding
country. There were four graduates
Misses Marcie Stevens and Ida Sprich
and Messrs. Booth Vaughn and Vince
Wroten-the young ladies, as they
usually do, bearing off the honorS.
The valedictory, read by Miss Ida
Sprich, was exceptionally fine, sparkling
with gems of thought; while the salut-
atory by Miss Stevens and the speech
es of the young men were all highly
creditable. Excellent music, vocal
and instrumental, was furnished by
pupils under the direction of Miss
Smith. Prof Nettles was presented
with a handsome gold headed cane
by the graduates, and Prof. Hardee
a beautiful watch charm by the pupils
of his department, both making happy
responses. The most notable feature
of the program was the annual adj
dress by DR.. r. A. Venable, President
of Mississippi College. Lack of time
and space forbid our attempting even
a synopsis, which, at best, could but
fall far short of doing the speaker and
his theme justice. 1t was an eminent
ly practical address, especially applica-
BILE as corrective for existing cOndi-
tions. We hope DR.. Venable may de-
eide to furnish "a copy of it to the
press for publication, as it is deserv
ing of the widest circulation.
The writer feels under lasting obi
ton to Bro. d. NJ Huff, of the Magno-
liza Gazette, for appreciated courtesies.
