East New Market Commencement.

ladies yesterday evening were gradu-
ated from the East New Market
High School, the Commencement ex-
ercises being held in the Methodist
Episcopal Church of that town.
Long before the hour for the ex-
ercises to begin, large throlg of
patrons of the school and friends of
the graduates had gathered at the
church, and awaited the triumphal
entry of the graduates, members of
the faculty and members of the
lower grades.
The exercises opened with music
by the orchestra, after which the
Rev. E. w. Jones, pastor of the
Methodist Church, invoked Divine
blessings upon school work and
those engaged in it, the graduates,
and others connected with the
school. Then followed the saluta-
tory, by Miss Bessie Twilley, which
showed the effects of wide know
ledge upon the subject and of care
full preparation. She discussed the
value of association, showing that
while the influence of the .home
fingers through the entire ife,this
Influence may be strengthened for
good or evil largely as the result
of ones companions. Evil surround
ings cannot fail to leave their i'm
press upon those thus surrounded,
and while the evil ones may be
benefited, a good person associating
with such influences will gradually
be influenced by them, and will
almost always descend nearer and
nearer to their level. We are apt
to judge persons by the company
they keep, and if that company is
fast, or not good, we very naturally
associate them with such habits.
The essay of Miss Mary Huem-
mer, who was also Glass Historian,
dwelt largely upon the influence
which woman has welded in the de-
velopment of the better movements

was very amusing, indeed.
z The essay OF MISS Rutn Slacum,
the valedictorian of the class, was
fine, and depicted the
greatness OF hope and brightness.
The thought expressed by MISS Sla-
cum was deserving OF the hlgnest
commendation, and showed the re-
suit of the constant application OF
a close student, VINO nad not only
grounded herself well in the ele-
principles of education, but
had drunk deeply from the wells OF
knowledge. The valedictory, which
was cruched in beautiful language,
expressed feelingly the appreciation
of the class for all the many kind
nesses which had been received ct
the hands of the school authorities,
the teachers and their fellow pupils
All of the graduates received
large quantities of beautiful flow d,
ers and numerous presents.
Following the essays of the gradu
ates, Rev. George P. Jones, D. D.,
Superintendent of Salisbury District
of the Wilmington Conference, made
a very delightful address to the
class. The keynote of his address
was to be watchful, and he urged
upon his hearers the necessity of
