Oh, no, Judge, we have never

nor accused you Of moral obiquity
hut we did say, that il the charges
which the ST Francois Herald brought
against you in announcing Mr.. Hens
lcy's withdrawal were true, that you
had violated your word aud honor and
betrayed a loyal friend. The Herald,
however, has revised its first state

suppose he would have told you that
Il he hadn't had every confidence in

general historian for last year, was
continued as general historian, with
instructions to have a paper next year.
Mrs. Hyde moved that acommittee
be appointed to revise the constitution
and bylaws, and suggest such amend
ments as may be needed. The present
constitution and bylaws were written
fifteen years ago, and were good
enough then, but need revision now.
The motion was carried, and the fol-
lowing committee was appointed,
with instructions to report next year;
Mrs. Hyde, Mrs. Musgrove, Misses
Mary Smith, Genevieve Russell and
Florence Arnold.
The following committee on finance
was appointed, with instructions to
report to the treasurer, Miss Peak;
Mrs W. G. Musgrove and Miss Anna
Worthington.
There being no further business be-
fore the association, it adjourned to
meet next year.

Miss Trosper was called upon, and
rendered a very pretty piano solo
Mrs. w. H.. Chiles, the president,
delivered her annual address to the
association. She congratulated the
school and the alumnae association on
the fact that the recent fire, which so
seriously threatened the destruction
Of the building, had been subdued
without causing such dire disaster,
and that not a day had been lost to
the school work. She was also glad
to announce that there would be no
change in the presidency Of the school
this year. The present management
has been so entirely satisfactory; the
school has been placed on a firm foun-
dation; success and prosperity are
assured for the future, and we will
all work with renewed energy for our
dear old alma mater. She congratu-
lated the class Of graduates for 1902,
who were soon to become members Of
the alumnae.
Mrs G, w. Hyde moved that the
graduates of 1902 be welcomed into
the association. The motion was
seconded, and unanimously carried.
The following named young ladies
were unanimously elected by a rising
vote:
Eta Louise Rice, A. B.; Elizabeth
Chiles, A. B ; Mary Elizabeth Brown,
B L.; Claudia May Turner, B. L /;
Estelle Gertrude Orth, B. M, Nellie
Marshall, M. NJ; Maud Elizabeth
Mcintyre, B. o.; Sarah Edith Powell,
B. 0 Elizabeth Chafin, Irene Ander-
son, Lillian Ingram Cromwell, Mary
Belle Hays.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1902-05-31

The president called upon Mrs. j.,
H. Campbell to deliver the address o
welcome
Mrs. Campbell was certainly cut out
for a politician. She is a handsome
woman, and her words flowed like oil,
AS an elochtionist she would take high
rank. Her address was extempore,
but she put plenty of force into her
speech, and her gestures seemed to
come voluntarily. She called up the
old days Of childhood; the first day in
school; described the progressive steps
of the pupil; reminded the young
ladies that they had always been
queens, and are yet queens, and sud
denly asked: "Do you not feel like
adding the word Regina when you
sign your name?" She congratulated
the class on the fact that they had
attained the object for which they
had labored for twelve or fourteen
years, and told the young ladies that
the association vas proud Of them,
and it gave her pleasure, on behalf Of
the association to bid them a cordial
welcome. Miss Eta Louise Rice had
been selected by her class to make the
response to the welcome, and she
proved herself we'll qualified for the
task. Her voice was clear and dis
tinct, and her compliments to the
high standing of B. f. G. alumnae
we're very graceful and well-timed.
The members Of her class have reason
to feel proud Of her, and each member
Of the association complimented her
on her address.
There was no college history to be
read this year, but Some items of
interest to the alumnae we're culled
from the college paper, and we're read
by Miss Alice Peak
The president alluded to the
absence Of the usual paper on college
history, and said they were always
glad to hear from any member Of the
association. She called the attention
OF the new members to the necessity
Of keeping a class history, and APP
pointed Miss Eta Rice as Historian

would be satisfied with n rose. But,
as it is, il you would satisfy a mans
desire for roses you must bank them
up before him.
Rev. j. C. Given, pastor Of the
Methodist church, led in prayer.
A duet-"Though your sins be
as scarlet" was rendered by Misses
Dunaway and Coppock. Their voices,
one a strong soprano and the other a
heavy alto, blended perfectly, and
they gave the song in a very pleasing
manner.
President White explained that the
object of the "Last Chapel Exercises"
was that the pupils and all concerned
might hear short speeches and words
of encouragement from the friends
present. He then introduced Elder
r. j. Fenstermacher, who spoke for
about five minutes, congratulatlng
the school on the splendid faculty,
and congratulating the faculty on the
splendid material found among the
pupils. He closed with encouraging
words and good wishes for the future
of the school.
DR.. G. W. Hyde, president of the
board Of trustees, was introduced,
and spoke five minutes. He urged
the pupils to first seek to become
graduates in the school Of Jesus
Christ; TO seek to know something Of
the philosophy Of the plan of saliva
tion. He urged the girls to try to
find Christ before leaving school.
President White stated that he
had heard of a rumor to the effect
that Baptist college would do away
with religious features hereafter, and

treat.
The doors of the art room we're
thrown open to the public Tuesday
afternoon, from 4 to 6 O'Clock, and for
two hours the room was jammed with
%appreciative visitors. All were pleased
with the display, and those who pre-
tended to be critical were well pleased
with the quality Of the work. 1t is a
matter Of wonder that so much good
work could be turned out in SO short a
time.
We cannot mention each picture,
for it would take too much space, and
a mention without a description
would be a waste Of words. The dis
play was not only beautiful to the
eye, but it shows hard and earnest
work on the part of the pupils and
careful instruction on the part Of the
teacher.
Miss Lena Bixman exhibited seven
pictures, all very creditable. Her
charcoal sketch Of the head Of an elk
being a piece that quickly attracted
attention, and won the praise Of all
who saw it,
Miss Eda Love had twelve pieces on
the wall, which we're worthy Of her
nimble fingers. GA Sunset Snow
Scene' was probably her best, and was
very creditable.
Miss Lillian Cromwell, the only art
graduate this year, exhibited twelve
pieces, any one Of which would have
established her reputation asa skIlIful
workwoman. One little gem, the life
sized head Of a child, in pastel, was
beautiful. She is fine in OF hand
drawing and her flowers only lack the
perfume to rival the real article. She
works in oil, pastel, charcoal watel
%colors, oy does the "burnt wood
work, and does it easily and we'll.
Two years ago she graduated from tn,
literary department., and this yeal
from the art department, and has
won quite a reputation as a pianist
and as a vocalist. This is a record 81
which any young lady might well be
proud,

LAST CHAPEL EXERCISES.

One Of the interesting events in
connection with the closing exercises
Of B. F. c., each year, is the Last
Chapel Exercises" These exercises
were held Tuesday morning at 10
O'Clock. The pupils and faculty OF the
school were present, together with a
number Of the friends and patrons Of
the school.
The exercises opened by singing, in
which the well-tralned voices of the
school took the lead, and could easily
be distinguished throughout the song.
The song was a pretty one, and was
well given.
DR.. Thomas, Of Little Rock, Ark.
read the Scripture lesson, selecting
the 9th chapter Of Matthew: LAY
not up treasures on earth, . sc. He
made a short talk on the beauties Of
the lily, and said that we are yet
unable to fully appreciate its beauties.
All men love a rcd rose. II we were
