COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.
Closing Exercises of the Graduating Class
The Alumni Reunion and Banquet.


A large audience assembled at the
town hall on Thursday evening of last
week to listen to the exercises of the
Alumni Association. The stage decora-
tions were superb. Red and yellow
bunting-the college colors-was over
hung with handsome lace curtains re-
lieved here and there with few sprays
of delicate green.
After prayer by Rev. F. A. Strother,
Mr.. Walter X. Hill was introduced and
delivered an Grafton entitled money
and Its Functions" which was com
plete review of the currency question in
all its phases. \ quartette composed
of Mrs Frank Hill, Mrs. c. c. Frazier,
Messrs. f. Rush Turner and NJ. l.. Eich-
elberger enlivened the program at this
juncture with some very choice music.
Miss Mary NJ. Myers then read an essay
entitled woman as Teacher" which
was an enthusiastic and earnest appeal
for the employment of more women in
our schools. A soprano solo by Mrs. II.
C. Getzendanner was of such high merit
as To be enthusiastically encored by the
audience. Historian j. Frank Turner
gave an interesting history of the class
of 1880. The members of the aSSocia-
ton then rendered Good Night Che
rus" which was followed by the benedic-
ton. A pleasant feature of the evening
was the presentation of a basket of flow
ers TO Prof Joseph McMurran by the
members of the Alumni Association.
Miss Mary Trussell made the presenta-
ton speech and Prof. McMurran accept
ed the flowers in few well-chosen re-
marks.
At the conclusion of the exercises at
the hall the member of the association
and their friends repaired to the Entler
Hotel. where mine host entch had
spread IA delightful repaSt for the re-
freshment of the inner man. After all
had partaken of the daintieS spread be-
fore them, President VIM. j. Knott, Jr.,
called for order and in an eloquent adj
dress introduced Mr.. II. c. Getzendan-
ner, who responded to the toast The in
fuence the College has had on this com
munity." His remarks in reference to
the distinguished father of Shepherd
College" were greeted with applause
which shows that the association APP
preciateS the work of Prof McMurran.
The Alumni Association was replied
to by Prof. c. J. Miller, who produced
an array of facts and figures to show
that Shepherd College is no longer in
the rear where some are disposed to
place her Prof. A. c. Kimler respond
ed to the toast THE College" in an
earnest speech asking the cooperation
of the association in placing Shepherd
College at the head of the list. Prof.
Joseph McMurran gave history of the
early trials and struggles of the school
by way of reply to the toast The Nor
nal School Work--Has ii received such
an official recognition as to build up the
schools and increase the attendance
upon the same" After agreeing unan-
imously to hold another banquet in 1896
the happy company took their departure
in the wee small hours" after spending
delightful evening.

and the exercises closed with "a song, af-
ter which the many beautiful flowers

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed TO be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh TO
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Hall S

The commencement exercises of Shep-
herd College were held in the town hall
on Friday evening in the presence OF an
audience that crowded the large room
almost to Sutfocation. Among those
present were many old students now
living in other places and persons from
this and adjoining counties The pro-
gramme was opened by prayer by Rev.
Geo. q. Everhart, followed with COM
mencement march sung by the college
pupils. The graduating class was COM
posed of five young ladies and two
young gentlemen, each of whom had an
Grafton or essay Following is an alb
stract of each of the papers:
"Around the World" by Miss Nellie 3. Marten
How often we neglect and look slight
ingly upon our own times in favor OF
earlier days and the supposed classics!
Does not our main interest lie IN the
present? Should it not be our earnest
endeavor to get in true touch with our
own times and find our true place there
in? This is necessary if we wish to live
intelligently, and fulfill the true pur-
pose of our existence. If we fail to be-
come acquainted with the current news
of the world our minds grow narrow
and preiudiced, and like Rip Van Wrinkle
we awake after awhile to the realization
that we are twenty years behind our as
sociateS.
Whatar conversation and correspond
ence if we know nothing of the events
of the day? They must certainly prove
stale and undressing Keeping up
with the incidents which affect civil
cation is much more important than
keeping up with the fashions and there
are times when we realize what great
disadvantage il is 10 be back number
in fashion.
What has the world been doing during
the past year? Considering few of the
acts in the one grand providential drama
which forms the worlds history, we see
that all nations are bound firmly togeth-
er by one thread of progress.
1.-The Teachers Preparation" by Miss Gene

We live in an age that has imbued
the young with u desire to rush into
life's work without having made the
preparation necessary for the achieve

have common school education, with
the idea that their preparation is COM

ers even of elementary schools should
have at least high school education,
for the sake of its broadening and deep

Bragonier.

Mr.. Richard X Bragonier. in speak
ing of Improvement in Navigation,
began with description of the little
boat built by Rumsey, and traced the
improvements made subsequently, up
to the present time, when the ocean is
crossed in few days. He mentioned
changes not only in commercial vessels,
but in war ships, and instruments as
sisting in navigation. Unfortunately,
Mr.. Bragonier's manuscript is not at
hand, so that an abstract of his GRAFTON
cannot be given.
