HIGH SCHOOL CLOSING.
The Closing Exercises of a
High School That Has
No Superior in

a Class of Eleven Awarded Diplomas
OF Graduation.

Our city schools closed their years work
FriCay, May 2S, after one of the most sue
cessiul ter ms they have ever enjoyed. The
commencement exercises were held Friday
evening, at the New Grand opera house,
and were conducted as thoroughly and
well as the entire years work was con-
Quoted under our superintendent, IL. ID.
Demand, and as the patrons of the school
are we'll aware, that means excellently.
Lexington is noted for her schools, and
Justly so. No town of her size in the state
presents better facilities for educating the
young boys and girls than does she. She
not only has a number of colleges and
schools, but her schools are of n high
grade, and in none OF them do our either s
take more pride and render more ealou
suTpor than to our public schools.
The Lexington public schools have in
creased in size and Importance until they
stand far above the schools of many other
cities which can boast OF n greater number
Of inhabitants. Dur buildings and equip
ments are are as good or better than those
of many larger cities, and the corps of
teachers is made up of some of the most
able instructors in the state. Under the
superintendency OF Prof. IL. ID. Demand,
and the careful attention of a board of
made up of some of our best
citizens, the schools are kept abreast of
the times, and among the educational
Institutions of our city they occupy an :
.onored and exalted place.
Why is it, some may ask, that the public
schools of this city are so much better
those of many other cities and are
constantly growing in usefulness and i'm
portance? The reason is this: No petty
fights are ever permitted to exert
any influence in the choice of teachers.
Many n city sees its school held back and
constantly hampered by little local con-

With hearts as light and hopes as bright

To your trust you have been true.
With tears restrained, and aching heart

May you in long eternity find a perpetual

You have filled your place so nobly, have

POETRY OF THE STARS.
Graduating Essay of Miss Mae EIston,
of Central College.

Our dcstinies are ruled by stars above"
Ages before the birth of Christ gave to
the stars a new and holy meaning, the
ancient Chaldean read the golden script
OF heaven and pondered it. To him the
infinite fields of the sky were as a scroll
on which was written in characters of
living light the good or i'll which the
fates had assigned to him. The beauty of
the stars appeals to all primitive people
although his conception Of beauty

the Populist Executive committee that
resolved against the lease? Mind you,
Hiram l.. Grant is the Republican faith
err of fusion in 1894. He claims to
have engineered the whole thing, and
l reckon his claim is well founded. He
has put three Goldsboro Republicans in
big positions by it, and yet he is still
outside the breast-wOrks. What was he
doing here yesterday? What was John
r. Smith and employees of the peniten-
