When the train carrying the special car in which rode General Fitzhugh Lee and staff reached Greensboro last evening at 7:25 a burst of enthusiasm such as was never before seen in this city greeted him. The announcement of bis coming had only- been made a few hours, yet there was a tremendous crowd, numerous flags and a brass band at the depot to extend to him the greeting of the Old North State. The assembly was numbered, by what we take as con servative estimates, at from 5000 to 6000, and was composed of all classes and colors and all united in one hear ty, long andioud round, of. cheers as the gallant Lee stepped out upon the platform. "Speech, speech, speech,' rang from a thousand throats and as soon as he could be heard the General said in part: "My friends": I sincerely thank-you for this splendid demonstration. I have joined the army now and am not much in the speech-making business. We are men of action now, not of words. I am happy to see so many of my North Carolina friends and to witness this outburst of patriotism and enthusiasm. We are engaged in a war now and whatever the differences of opinion regarding the necessity for it and the causes which led to it, I am quite sure we are all agreed that the war must be prosecuted to victory. Those who wore the blue and those who wore the grey are fighting togeth er a united people for our flag and for our country against a foreign enemy. Again I thank you for this demonstra tion. I am only a soldier. I have been run out of Cuba and we are now going back to run somebody else out." Every sentence was punctuated with loud cheers, and as the last words were uttered the train pulled out, the band played "Dixie," flags waved, hats went up and wild hurrahs and cheers rent the air. General Lee stood on the platform as long as the train was in sight, and no doubt returned to his seat with in creased determination and strength to, prosecute vigorously the war of human ity., THE ANNUAL SERflON. Before the Graduating Class at Q. F. College. The commencement exercises of Greensboro Female College began this morning. After the singing of "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow," Rev. L. W. Crawford, D. D., led the audience in prayer. The scripture Tesson was read by Rev. N. H. D. Wilson. The annual sermon to the graduating class was preached by Rev. W. S. Creasy, D. D., of Win ston. The theme of his sermon was that man is under a special Provi dence that every human life is a Di vine Providence. He proved in a very eloquent and stirring, way (1) that man belongs to God because of crea tion because he made him; that God is a far greater sculptor than man that he gives the human structure life, feelings and thoughts; (2) that man belongs to God because of redemption; that after man was made by the Di vine Sculptor he was stolen away by the devil apd that Christ had to be given up for the redemption of the stolen stature; (3) that inconsequence of belonging to God man owes Him the best of his body, mind and soul; that he has given man opportunities ." pleas ures, friends, and possessions; that everything man has been given him by God; (4) that man must get into the way of God and remain in that way before he can accomplish the pur poses at his life; that those have suc ceeded best who have gotten into this way most; that the . sculptor, painter, poet, man of business, society, and church must enter into the way of God and receive from his hands the guid ance that is Divine before permanent success will crown their efforts. Me then gave many illustrations ot suc cessful men and women wno nave nveu in this Divine way. . : The influence on the audience was marked and everybody left with the impression that the first day of com mencement had been a decided success. After the sermon Rev. J. E. Gay led the audience in prayer and President Peacock made the announcements for tonight. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. H. Weaver, D. D.
