 Professor Collins, assisted by an able faculty. has wrought we'll in this time l honored institution, an dthe euImina- ton of the year in a successful com .
 mencement occasion was a fitting close. Sunday morning the commencement
 sermon was preached by Bishop H. C.. Morrison of Birmingham. His dis
 course was one of the most eloquent

 under the direction of Mrs. Collins. was
 pronounced one of the best yet rem dered on a like occasion.
 Monday morning the address before the literary society was delivered by
 James A. Hines of Lafayette. It was very happy effort, and marked the speaker as an orator of much prom ise.
 Tn the evening seven young men Of the collegiate department contested for a gold medal offered by Rev. George Stoves. The speakers did them selves marked credit. The judges
 unanimously awarded the medal to
 Eugene Jeffers. amidst much enth usi- asm.

 an essay read by Miss Avery of the graduating class.
 The baccalaureate address was de- livered by Rev. John Leonidas Rosser. pastor of the First Baptist Church of Selma. It was pre-eminently appro- priate, and was both polished and prac- tical. making a lasting impression upon the large and we'll pleased audience. At the conclusion the diplomas were awarded, followed by a short speech | by Hon. W. A. Handley, President of | the Board of Trustees.
 Rev. George Stoves went to Alexan- l der City today to spend ten days as-

STUDENTS GIVE PLAY
LARGE AUDIENCE WITNESSES
 EVENT IN EUFAULA.
Chsutauaua of the Brenau Continuen to Draw Many Persons-Dr. Brough- ton of Atlanta VIII
 Lecture.

Eufaula, May 26.-(Special )-of all the amusements and instruction afford ed during the Chautauqua none was greeted with a larger audience or gave such universal satisfaction as the Jap- anese play given by the pupils of the oratorical department under the di- rection of Miss Allie Hays which was at the theatre last night.
 The parts were so admirably sustain ed that it seemed to have been lifted entirely out of the realms of amateur dom and placed in critical challenge with professional entertainments seek ing public patronage and applause. The audience was delighted from the be- ginning until the close and although the rendition required fully two hours no one seemed wearied and tho same CTS at the close as was noted in the
 The entertainment was h igh class in every particular and reflects great credit upon Miss Hays to whose untir- Ing efforts and skill In the art of train ing the citizens are indebted for such a rare treat.
 The Otterbein Quartette which has been such an important feature of the weeks festivities were compelled. ow- ing to other engagements to leave here
 
 until the close as was expected. This afternoon they gave another of their charming concerts appearing In both comic and classical selections and never failed to be recalled.
 Voting for the prettiest front yard in the city Is progressing and from indl- cations SO far 1t -ould seem that the vote will be close in several instances The result. as will also be the case for the best pianist. will not be made known until Wednesday night upon the close of the Chautauqua.
 The lecture by Dr. Len G. Broughtor is being awaited with great interest and pleasure and It Is highly probable that standing room will be hard to ob. tain when the evening rolls round.
 The baccalaureate address by Rev Charles Lane and the announcement oi the honor pupils of the institution arc important features that are being awaited with anxiety.
 A miscellaneous concert by the Otter bein Quartette together with mum bert by the pupils of the institution was ar interesting feature of today's program that was highly interesting and great. ly enjoyed .

is a club of which Montgomery has A right to be proud. It Is composed not only of a number of brainty young women, but of those who bend every enort toward making the organization one of real intellectual benefit to them. For three successive years the Tinta gil competed for the prize offered by the State Federation of Women's Club for the best paper read during the year, and each time to their club was award ca the prize. The fact that a member of the Tintagil won the prize every time caused suspicion on the part of the heads of the Federation and the question was asked What member of the Tintagil is on the Reciprocity Committeer A prominent Montgorn- . cry woman-member of another club was on the committee. and she replied: NO member of the Tintagil is mem Der of the committee, and if I should see ft to show favoritism, I would surely show 1t to my own club. The reason that on. each occasion the, prize was awarded to The Tintagil Is that The Tintagil Is the brainiest club in the State.'
 It is an interesting fact that four clubs in other cities are now using the prospectuses of The Tintagil-those on Religion" Scotland" "The Drama" and Grand opera"-and they are being used by two clubs in Lynchburg, Va, one in Tennessee, and by the Nine- teenth Century Club of Birmingham. These prospectuses were gotten up en- tirely by the members Of the club who work out their own line of study. IN COMPLIMENT TO MRS.
