weather clerk seemed to have conspired
againft the Coburn Classical, today, in
making up the programme for the weather,
for the rain did not stop to drizzle, it just
poured all day. In spite of the fact, the
commencement Of '95 was a success In
every feature. The church W crowded
at each OF the exercises, the flowers and
decorations showed off all the more be-
cause of the dreary appearance of every
thing out-of- doors, and the graduates
donned heavy wraps and took carriages to
the church and appeared on the platform
as charmiDgly dressed as though the sun
was shining brightly as could be and the
Thermometer was lodging around among
the COS.
The institution sends out this year a
very large class In each course. The
school has prospered under the able man
agement OF the new principal, Prof. f.
W. johnson, during the past year, and
this energetic young instructor has shown
himself to be worthy SUCCESSOR to the
famed educator who was So lo1k at the
head of the institution, the late DR. Han
son.
The college preparatory and the English
and scientific graduates held their gradu-
ating exercises at the Baptist church, this
forenoon at 8 O'Clock. The church was
crowded and everything passed off success
