Il. l.. $ Notes.

On Tuesday evening of last week the graduating exercises and the annual address by Gov. Man ship, of Miss. were had.
 Messrs. Hall, Lephiew and Misses Ford. Clark and koonce represent ed the senior class with papers and addresses, appropriate to the oc- , casion. Close attention was given each participant and 1t was easily apparent each had many friends in the audience. Each member was made recipient of immense bou- quets of choicest flowers and hearty hand shakes indicated appreciation not often witnessed on such an oc casion. The address of Gov. Man ship was a master piece of..thought. expressed in language laden with perfume from the flowers of that wonderful Southland. By reason of failure on the part of the en- gravers to deliver ,,diplomas within time for presentation on that even- ing. that part of the programe had to be omitted. The following mem bers of the class were entitled to diplomas for completion of course: Messrs. Hall and Lephiew and Misses Hunter, Ford, Gotham, Clark. Koonce. Mccullough and Conrad. while the following were entitled to department certificates : Misses Shell. McQuiston and Rogers. In addition to the awards to the senior class, the following members of the Commercial De- partment have merited diplomas Messrs King, Lambert .Brockman. Watts. Pyron Ross. Ingram and AycocK.
 "Wednesday evening was the usual annual concert which was presented at the Opera House to one of the largest audiences ever gathered in: Monticello on such an ! occasion. The work exhibited was largely that of the pupils under Miss Mckinney and to say they surprised their friends would be a way to put it. The work of Miss Mckenney was in evidence from the beginning and whilst the pro- gramme was near ! hours long, the crowd did not seem worried The music furnished by the pupils of Prof. Stewart and Miss Hudson was only spice added to or inter- mixed with the work of the de pertinent of expression.
 This closed most remarkable year at the H. U. s. and the ex- pression heard on every hand was i've want next commencement to come in hurrv". The packing of trunks and the usual fare wells at the Fl. U. $. on Wednesday morning left few dry eyes.

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, aud
 Diarrh0ea Remedy.

There is probably no medicine made that is relied upon with more implicit confidence than Chsmberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy. During the third of t century it has been in use, people have learned that it is the one remedy that never fails. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take.
