closing Exercises Held on Last we'd
nesday Evening.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure of attending the closing exercises
of the Bryan Academy, Wednesday
night, and all present were treated
to a most interesting program.
The building was filled to it's ca
pacity, and the crowd, a good natur-
ed, jolly set, surely enjoyed the var
ious songs and dialogues, and also
the pretty duets, by Miss Basker-
ville's music scholars.
Supt. of Education L. W. Living
ston opened the exercises with a
short prayer, and at the close, ad-
dressed the school in short and
very complimentary address, and
winded up by saying that the best
thing of all, however, was the re-
freshing rain that commenced to fall
soon after the exercises began, and
was continuing until its close.
Prof. McCown, and his assistant
Miss Baskerville, deserve credit for
the manner in which the scholars
deported themselved, and it is the
opinion of great many that the
trustees would be doing thu correct
thing to employ both Of them anoth-
er session.
The music pupils did most remar.-
ably we'll, keeping perfect time,
which attasts thorough training on
the part of the teacher.
