Owing to continued bad health,
Bro. Jesse resigned the office Of deacon

ments.

la conclusion it ought to be said
that our college here, formerly called
Baptist Female College, but now Lex
ington College for Young Women, has
not only proved a blessing to the
town and community, but also a
blessing to the state and the country
at large. 1t has specially been a
arime factor 10 supporting and
w strengthening the local church.
