RAYNAL DELIVERS THE ADDRESS Young Lady Graduates Awarded Di plomas at Presbyterian Collere Last Evening: -Those Who , Made the Highest Marks During tlie Year Miss Elizabeth v chambers Receives First : Honor- -Tho Pro- ' gramme in Detail. The "commencement exercises at the Presbyterian College Jast evening were in all particulars-in full keep ing with the high standard of the college. The tones of the great organ were brought , out in full melody as Prof. Anderson played the "Pilgrim's .Cho rus," from "Tanahauser." The president, ' Rev. J. R. Bridges, Rev. Charles Ghiselin and Rev. C. E. Raynall took their places on the ros trum, while a long line of magnifi cent looking young ladies -and their teachers marched elowly into the au ditorium, led by a little boy- Master George Bennett Cramer, the senior mascot. " r " Called upon by the president, Rev. Charles Ghiselin, D. D., made the prayer, leading the large audience into the very presence of the Great Author of all that is. Rev. J. R. Bridges read the roll of honor, explaining the methods of grades and; announced in conclusion that Miss Elizabeth Chambers re ceived first honor in the senior class, and second in yearly average. That Miss t Jessie Boyd received second honor in the senior class and first in yearly average.

The president awarded Bibles and diplomas with touching and graceful remarks and called on the little mas cot to deliver the diplomas, which he did admiringly watched by the . au dience. Receiving the A. B. degree were: Misses Loma Alexander, Jesse Isabel Boyd, Rebecca Neal Caldwell. Laura Catherine Efird, Alice Belle Gordon, Isabel Grey, Irving Harding, Mary McLaughlin, Lola Belle Rodman. Receiving the B. L. degree were: Misses Annie Lee Alexander, Eliza beth Lacy . Chambers, Katherine Stuart Cramer, Vivian Lee Neely, Es telle Rankin, Margaret Wadsworth Roose, Katherine Elizabeth Watt, Mary Hester Wilson. The commencement marshals came upon the rostrum "as the .last diploma was delivered bearing armsful of carnations and roses and every va riety of beautiful flowers, and pack ages, of gifts, etc., which were pre sented to the seniors, creating a love ly, bright scene. The president then introduced Rev. C. E. Raynall in words of praise, which he fully justified in delivering an address that was pure in thought. artistic in style and - clear, in deliv ery . The speaker chose for his theme, a world powerIbsen. He gave an insight into the author's life and his character, naming his best critics, whom he commended to the senior class. He said that Ibsen cannot be classed as an idealist nor a realist, but occupies a position In the liter ary world distinct and apart from ail others. Born of a poor family, Ibsen was reared in dense dark poverty that grew more bitter as he grew older and quivering under it he faced a cold, unsympathetic world. His na ture in eplte of hardships was quiet and cool, and strangely intense; his mind was anilytical. Never able to live in his own land, he began to write in Italy, Germany and other countries, where his genius found recognition. His occupation was that of clerk in a drug store. His best inspiration was found in bright, sup ny Italy. The only book he read was the Bible. Mr. Raynall traced the development of Isben's style from the early works of romance, where he deals with the folk lore of his people, down to his realistic writings, Ibsen is unlike ev The speaker said that it is the most magnificent that northern Europe has ever givenn to the. world. In his realistic writings, Isben is unliks ev ery other1 writer. His writings are not understood they are disposed and ' reflected by many who cannot see their merits. Mr. Raynall crit icised the "Doll's House," "Ghosts" and all' of Ibsen's best known works, showing the significance of the great author in all that came from his mas ter mind, pointing out the great mor al and religious lessons they teach and convincing the audience that Ibsen holds a high place among the great writers of the world. Hamlet," "Juliet," "wouy var- den" and so forth, are as well known to most people as are their most fa miliar friends, but who knows Ibsen's men and women and preachers as Mr. Ravnall does? urely. there is something else to be learned in lit erature and those who missed the ad dress last evening missed an oppor tunity of learning easily a lesson that will enrich and broaden the knowl edge of all who heard the eloquent words that fell so easily from the lips of the great speaker and will make their lives purer and better. It was Rev'. Charles Ghiselin who pronounced a benediction at the close of these impressive exercises. Commencement at Trinity.

This is a new preparation and a good one. It is especially valuable as a cure for chronic and muscular rheumatism, and for the relieX from pain which it affords in acute inflam matory rheumatism. Those who have used it have invariably spoken of it in the highest terms of praise. Lame back, lame shoulder and stiff neck are due to rheumatism of the muscles, Usually brought on by ex posure to cold or damp, and are quickly cured by applying this lini ment freely and massaging the affect ed parts. Soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exeroise or injury, is allayed by this liniment. For sale by R. H, Jordan & Co.

Dear Mrs. Person: I : have been i intending to write to you for several months to thank you for your won derful medicine. I had a little child, one year old last July, and he was taken sick in June with a stomach trouble, and I had two doctors to attend him, and they did not do him any good. . He was sick about three months, and everyone who saw him thought he would die. He was noth ing but skin and bone. I quit the doctors medicine, and went to giv ing him your Remedy, and he began to improve at once, and one and one half bottles cured him, sound and well. He is now nearly two years old, and is fat and well. Every time my children get sick I give them your Remedy. I think it is the best medi cK.e in the world to-day. May God blesa you for the good you and your Remedy have done your fellowman. Yours truly, MRS. MINNIE DURHAM. Glencoe Mills, Burlington, N. C. -J ' M I I, II..
