one characteristic. however, which dis

which has become too common to at

though II really measures all the rest.
this Is longevity. During the past
100 years the length of life of the
average man in the United States AMI

Old sol rose with customary reg

ere he was partly hidden. The eclipse
began about six thirty, attained it's
maximum at about seven forty, and end
ed at about eight forty o'clock.
An occasional cloud obtruded itself
between the gazers and the much look
ed at orb of day, but the weather was
comparatively favorable.
When the eclipse attained it's max.
imum there was probably one tenth Of
the sun visible. Soon, however, the cres-
ent gradually assembled from the lower
portion of the sun to the right side and
to the upper portion. There it became
larger and larger, until finally the
moon passed from oyer the face and
the eclipse ended. ......-

PARRoTT, May 28.-The commence

to close Thursday after three days
OF the most brilliant exercises in the
history of the institution.
Each days programme was eX-
tremely interesting and the musical
feature was unusually fine, contributing
much to the success of the occasion,
Mr., Lee B. Dismuke, in his address
on Opportunity" exhibited high
order of talent as an orator. The
literary address was delivered by Mr..
w. F. George of Preston. Mr.. Georges
reputation as a speaker of rare elo-
quence IS we'll known throughout the
state, and it was amply sustained by
his effort Thursday morning, His
subject was "Crises of Individual and
National Life" and the address
abounded in thought and eloquence.
The commencement marked the
close of one of the most successful
years the school has ever known.
Under the able principalship of Pro-
lessor Stapleton it has fourished as
never before. There were enrolled
during the year 124 pupils, who We're
under the instruction of corps of five
teachers.
Professor Stapleton will not remain
in PARROT another year, nor will any
of the other teachers in the literary
department. He has been offered, and
will probably accept, the superintend-
ency of graded school in a flourish
ing Georgia town.
