MARION, VA, May 29.-Special.-The
closing exercises of Marion Female Col
!ege began Sunday. the sermon before the
school being preached by DR.. Hallman, a
prominent Lutheran minister. Last night
the primary department gave a very sue
cessful entertainment. and to-day Mr.. A.
]. Montague addressed the school.
Mr.. Montasue's subject was Woman
in American Politics., which he handled
in an able manner, and impressed all
who heard him with his ability as plat
form speaker. He said woman had place
in politics. but her influence was not, and
ought not to be, at the polls, but in the
home, where she prepared and gave moral
tone to the men, who, coming on 10 take
the place of their fathers, kept alive the
eternal state: and so TO woman's in
tluence he gave the credit Of most of what
we are to-day. Only favorable criticisms
have been heard of the address.
Even those ladies who hear these adj
dresses before girl schools yearly, and
who tire of hearing platitudes about wo-
men and wish the men would talk about
US like we We're somebody and think Mr..
Montague another smart man gone
wrong admire his style and easy manner
on the platform, and credit him with
good speech.
