 The exercises were opened with prayer by Dr. A. B. Jones of Gadsden. After music by the Southern university band the audience was held enraptured by the sophomore prize Reclamation. Both of the literary societies were well repre- sented by five declaimers from each, and there is quite a difference of opinion as to who won the medal All the speakers acquitted themselves creditably and no doubt the committee will have some diff ficulty in deciding who acquitted himself best
 Last night quite large and apprecia- tive audience assembled at S:30. This being the night of our junior exhibition, great interest was manifested both by citizens and visitors. After prayer by Dr. J. F. Sturdivant of Talladega the brass band gave some delightful music Then the contest began. The speakers Tor this occasion are chosen from the junior class according to their standing in college. There being six speakers, three are appointed from the Belles-Let- tres society and three from the Clario- sophie All speeches are original All six of the speakers entertained the audience with magnificent productions, and the applause only spoke the sentiments of their hearers. The programme was as follows
 Looking Upward" Mr. B. P. Gaines, Tuskaloosa, Ala.
 Music.
 Armenia MT. J. c. Adams, Ozark, Ala.
 Whom Shall We Honor," MT. J. P. Roberts, Easonville, Ala.
 Thomas Jefferson" MT. B. M. Ken drick, Luverne, Ala.
 "Inaction Means Despair" Mr. L. T. Reynolds of Newton, Ala.
 Music.
 Arbitration" Mr. J. H. Leonard, Longview, Ala.
 Music.
 After very interesting talk on "The New Woman by pr. Keener, the exer- cises were brought to close, much to the regret of the visitors.
 The exercises of today consisted of two addresses. Hon. Thomas D. Knight de- livered the alumni address. His subject was Success in Life" From beginning to close the frequent outbursts of thun- dering applause served only to make the young orator more eloquent and impress logic, yet it was beautiful and instruc- tive. The alumni were fortunate in se- curing MT. Knight as their orator.
 After the alumni oration Rev. A. J. Lamar of Selma was introduced to the audience by our popular president as the "St. John of the Alabama conference" In the absence of Dr. Steele Dr. Lamar then delivered short, but intensely in- teresting, address before the literary so- cieties on the subject, Difference Be- tween Reputation and Character" He more than bore up his reputation as the "St. John," and his hearers were held almost spellbound by the instructive and eloquent sentences which fell from his lips. How true, "the frosts which have silvered his sill<en locks have not fallen on his great sympathetic heart,
 After this address the exercises were closed until tonight.
 So far commencement has been a glo- riouS success.
