VOLUME XII
The Lindsey.WiIsOn.

The graduating exercises Monday
morning marked the closing of another
successful year in this well-known in
stitution of learning. Profs. Nelson
& Moss, the principals should feel proud
and justly so at the progress the school
has made under their management.
They have been ably assisted in all the
departments, and the subordinate teach
ers, as well as the principals, can truth
fully say 1--WE have used our utmost en-
deavors to give entire satisfaction.
During the year just closed there
have been more grown pupils in attend
ance than ever before and the advance
ment has been rapid, perfect harmony
prevailing, throughout the year. One
little drawback occurred about three
weeks ago-measles got into the school,
and number Of pupils left for their
respective homes before the closing
days. With that exception it has been
an exceedingly prosperous and healthy
year, and the outlook for the September
opening is fiattering.
The various entertainments given
last week were of the highest order and
fully mp to the expectations of the many
who attended. 1t was not so a repre-
sentative of this paper could be in at.
tendance, but judging from expressions
from those who did, they were certain
ly entertaining, rejecting much credit
upon the teachers and the performers.
The following recitals deserve special
notice.
On Friday evening pupils of Miss
Gibbs, assisted by those of Miss David,
gave an interesting program and fully
convinced the large audience which was
present that they had indeed been well
trained. Several solos and duets were
rendered by the music pupils and were
given in a faultless manner. Miss
Howard sang in her usual pleasing
way and the Glee Club also gave num-
Der that was especially enjoyed. 1.-The
Princess" by Tennyson was the play
given by Miss David's class on Satur-
day night and was indeed success
from beginning to end, especially was
it interesting to those who have read
the book. Each one deserves special
mention for the rendition of his or her
part. Miss David certainly is to be COM
plimented on the success of the play, as
measles interfered with many of the
characters.
DR.. w. B. Kicks, of Bowling Green,
one of the leading ministers of the
Louisville Conference, delivered the
Commencement sermon before the pu-
pills and friends of the school Sunday
morning at the Methodist church.
The church was filled to its utmost ca
pacity, and a very helpful and thought
full discourse was delivered. His sub
ject was Christian character and it
abounded in many wholesome admo-
nitions to the pupils DR.. Kicks also
preached strong sermon to large
congregation Sunday night.
Monday morning Mr.. M r. Gabbert
and his sister, Miss Gertrude, were
awarded diplomas. They made their
acknowledgements in an Grafton and an
essay. Mr.. Gabbert's speech was fine
production and Miss Gertrude's essay
was we'll written and entertainingly
read. The address to the graduating
class was delivered by Rev. w. B.
Kicks, d. D., of Bowling Green.
Mr.. and Miss Gabbert received many
beautiful and useful presents.
The people of Adair county are just
ly proud of the Lindsey Wilson and its
management. 1t has done more than
any other enterprise to build up Colum-
bia, and as the years come and go the
people will continue to bless the day it
was established. In due time the fac
ulty for next year will be announced,
Profs. Nelson & Moss remaining as
principals.
