turn, seemed to transmit the spirit
to Commencement day.
The Commencement Day pro-
gram was further given stimulus
by very timely and inspiring mes
sage of greeting on behalf of the
Alumni by Mrs. Annie Bell Harper
of Mendenhall.
The main address for the day
was given by Mr.. Ben Cameron.
Attorney-at-Law, Meridian. And
judging from the manner in which
he delivered himself, it would seem
reasonable to suppose that there
had been something of spiritual
conspiracy between him and the
speaker for the Sunday service.
He did a very superior job in exaIt-
ing, even glorifying individual,
human personality: 81 am the Mas
ter of my fate.'
At the conclusion of this feature.
the graduating students were Civ
en- certificates as follows: High
School 81; Junior College-Teach-
er Training 2; Business and Com
mercial 2; Trade certificates -
Shoe Repairing 8; Cleaning and
Pressing l; Bricklaying 4 Auto
Mechanics 5; Carpentry 1; Photo

The Institute was host to a
large group of alumni, former stu
dents, patrons and friends from
over the state and beyond, in at
tendance upon this 44th observ-
ance. And everyone present SEEM
ed in accord in pronouncing this as
the high point thus far attained.

prelate over the second district and
living in Baltimore, he ventured in
the meat business. His unorthodoX
methods of slaughtering and stor-
age brought him afoul of the law
and his steel gloved handling of
church affairs caused him to be ex-
lied to Mississippi but down here
he has set grand example and
waxed fat.
The bishop has become not only
husbanman of souls but a grower
of great crops. He is a successful
farmer.
Three years ago when the church
sent him to Mississippi he found
himself the chancellor of Campbell
College the denominational school
here. The plant is not a large one
but it is a fine little school. There
was beautiful home for the
chancellor on the campus and the
school owned farm of 600 acres.
Bishop Davis elected not to live
on the campus. He moved into one
OF the nicer tenant houses on the
farm which was about Is miles
from the college. There he took the
lead in fence building, ditch dig
ging, hog raising and pasture ar
rangement for cattle.
So well did he labor that all of
the obligations on the farm were
paid. Also, there is a cash balance
to conduct the business in 1861.
All along there have been ample
supplies of milk, eggs, butter, fresh
pork chops, back bones, roasting
ears, butter beans, peas and other
vegetables.
In 1850 the farm produced and
sold "a bales of high grade, long
staple cotton. The bishop has set
an example to farmers all about
that success can be both spiritual
and material. Mississippi and the
bishop have both benefited.
