A, {. I. COMMENCEMENT.

Those who attended the
closing exercises of the Atlantic
Collegiate Institute which have
been i'll progress this week were
pleased beyond their expec>
tations. Some of our oldest clti-
zens say that it was the best OF
it's kind they have ever seen in
Elizabeth City. The boys, of
whom there was large number,
did so we'll that we feel that it
would be TN just to mention any
individual, and we can only say
that their efforts were very high
ly co1nplimented i'll general.
The girls, OF course, pleased
the audience more than the boys,
and with faces beanirg with
smiles, acquitted themselves so
admirably that we would like to
make personal mention of them
all and the manner in which
they performed their parts but
the want of space forbids us
from SO doing, which we exceed
~ regret.
The program each night Was
well prepared and most ad1nira<
BILE presented.
Wednesday night the annual
address was delivered by Mr.. E.
E. billiard, editor of the Scots
land Neck Commonwealth, who
was greeted by large audience.
He is quite a fine speaker and
the pleasure which his address
afforded his hearers was fully att
tested by their appreciative de-
monstrations.
The people of Elizabeth City
have great reason to congratu>
ate themselves upon the school
facilities which have been af>
forded them. Such a school as
the a. c. Institute, under the
excellent management of Prof.
S. L. Sheep, who is assisted by a
corps of experienced teachers,
is an invaluable help to any
community and should be appre
ciated and we'll sustained by all
who value the education of their
children and would have them
prepared fol duties as well as
shares of this life.
The graduating exercises took
place last night with the follow
ing graduates:
