, clSeo aU tne southern seminary
| absorbed public interest this week.
The ideal weather added very much
to the pleasure of the occasion.
The baccalaurate sermon at II u. III.
Sunday, by DR.. s. X. Cox of the
Baltimore Conference, was most
excellent and helpful discourse. 1t
2 gave such satisfaction that the young
ladies of the Seminary met in mass
meeting and by resolution asked
for the manuscript for publication.
The audience unanimously endorsed
the request, and the discourse will be
printed in pamphlet form.
"A crowded house greeted Rev. G..
II. Buchanan on Sunday night, when
he preached the annual sermon before
the Missionary Society of the Semi
nary.
The Hon. II. st. Geo. fuckers adj
dress, on Southern Education, was
eloquent, forceful, telling, and he
discussed some very vital issues. His
presence was very much enjoyed. His
daughter accompanied him.
The graduates are: Miss Lille
Milligan of Buena Vista, full literary
course; Miss Pauline Embree of Buena
Vista, elocution; Miss Gertrude

also excellent and reflected much
credit on those having them in charge |
