BLACKBERRY WINTER,
Came This Year without the
Usual Berry Bloom.

Blackberry winter, although
about week later than usual, was
ushered in Monday afternoon and
the temperature dropped about 40
degrees in twenty-four hours. This
is one of the few years in which this
cool season prevailed without the
usual blackberry bloom. While
there are a few blooms scattered
over the bushes in some places, bios
SONS are scarcer than for several
years, and the prospects are that
the crop Of berries will be very
short. Many of the bushes were
broken off by the heavy sleet and
the cold weather in December last
alse injured them. While theImer-
curry went down in the forties Tues
day night vegetation was not dam
aged. In some places frost was re-
ported, but it was too light to nip
vegetables.

STRONGER MARKET.
Considerable Animation Dis.
played on Local Breaks,
Heavy Sales of the Weed, Which
Is In Good Order For
Handling.

The local tobacco market this
week was stronger, considerable
more animation being displayed,
and there were also more buyers on
the breaks than for some weeks.
Sales were considerably in ex-
cess of those of last week and prices
were considered good.
The weed is sweating nicely and
is in much better order than it has
been. Reflections were not so large
as on some former occasions.
1t develops that the crop of 1901
is the most useful one raised in this
district for years and a still better
demand may be looked for.
Receipts are not quite so heavy
as they were a few weeks ago,
owing to the fact that a large per
cent. of the crop has been deliver
ed.
Common to good Jugs ranged in
Priceffrom S4.5Olto 5000. Common
leaf brought from S5.75 to S6.75.
Medium leaf went off at from 500
to $500, good leaf ranged from 81
to 50, aud the price on selection,
was from $40 to SD.
The loose market is still active
with good stock on hand.

EXCELLENT SEASON
A Big Per Cent. of Tobacco Crop
Set.

About IS per cent. of the tobacco
has been set in this county, it is es-
tlmated and with another season
the work of transplanting will be
finished.
In some sections, where the rains
were heavy, the farmers have in~
ished putting out their crop. There
are a few neighborhoods where no
rain of consequence fell, but in such
unfavored spots the plants have
been set and watered.
The acreage will be larger than
last year.

BETHEL COLLEGE.
Closes a Very Successful and
Prosperous Session.
Eight Young Lady Graduates Re
ceive There Diplomas We'd
nesday Night.

Beginning Monday night with
the rendition of 1.-THE Spanish
Lady" the closing exercises of
Bethel Female College were con
cluded Wednesday night at the
college.
"The Spanish Lady" was COM
posed by Miss lone Newman. The
leading character Of Ximena was
taken by Miss Elizabeth Drake, of
the college faculty.
Other characters were sustained
by Misses Louise Carr, Ida Schaef-
er, Mary Wright, Polly Graves,
Jessie CARROT, Ethyl Frost and
Georgia Rushing, and a large
chorus of good spirits and Spanish
maidens.
The young ladies all acquitted
themselves most handsomely and
the large audience gave them I'M
stinted applause.
Tuesday night at the Baptist
chnrch DR.. John o. Rust delivered
the baccalaureate address to the
young ladies.
His theme was "The New Heath
enlsm," which he divided into four
parts-commercialsm, aesthetic
ism, occultism and socialism.
Heathens were defined as goddess
persons and the tenor of his ad-
dress was to show that the reckless
persuit of wealth, the devotion to
aesthetics, the encouragement
given to fortune telling, hypnotism
and such things and finally the
tendency to a socialistic contempt
for law and property rights, were
all matters essentially antagonistic
to goodness. The address was lis
tened to with much attention by a
large and cultured audience. 1t
was delivered in the eloquent young
divine's best style of oratory, and
was rendered especially entertain
ing by occasional anecdotes and
humorous illustrations.
At the College on Wednesday
night the commencement exercises
proper were held and the chapel
would not hold the large crowds
present, the parlors and halls being
filled with the overflow crowd.
Eight young ladies were given
diplomas as follows:
Piano-Dell Gaines, Georgia
Rushing, Ida Schaefer.
Bachelor of Arts-Patty BARLEY,
Dell Gaines, Mable Hille and Daisy
Williams.
Master of Arts-Miriam Fades,
Frances Huddleston.
The following musical program
was given before the diplomas were
awarded by Pres. Edmund Harri
son:
The Bee and the Clover. .........

Slavonic Dance. .... .............
misses Gaines and Lam
In Line of March ...............

Misses Lam and Wright

Miss Ida May Schaefer
Hark, Hark, the Lark .........
........ Miss Miriam Fades
The Distinctions in the various
classes were read by Prof. W. a.
Harrison, who acted as Master of
Ceremonies.
The entertainment closed with
the very scholarly and appropriate
address of the President to the
graduating class.
AT ten o'clock the audience was
dismissed and the parlors turned
over to the young people, who for an
hour or more participated in re-
ception to the graduates and other
young lady pupils. This delight
full affair closed the exercises.
