Great Gathering and Most Interesting Exercises. This is commencement week at Wake Forest and never has there been a time when there was such an outpouring of people or morejinterest ing ceremonies. Yesterday was what may be termed as the "big day," be ing the occasion of the delivery of the annual address by North Carolina's great young orator, Rev Thos Dixon, Jr. There was a very large atten dance from Raleigh, and the crowd from all sections of the State was greater than ever known before. All the places of entertainment are taxed to their utmost to properly accommo date them, but, such is the interest manifested in the occasion that per sonal comforts are of secondary con sideration. The exercises yesterday commenced at 10:30 o'clock, and as the chapel bell sounded, a great stream of peo ple filled the assembly hall to its ut most capacity. In the meantime Voeklers' band discoursed the sweet est strains of music. Governor Fowle was given au ovation as he entered, and soon afterwards, Rev Thos Dixon appeared amid a burst of applauses. He was escorted to the stand by a marshal from each of the societies and was warmlv welcomed by Dr C E Taylor, president of the College. The exercises were opened with pray er by Bev Dr J W Carter, of Baleigh, who expressed gratitude for the past work of the College and prophecied a grand future for the institution, Dr C E Taylor, president of the College then introduced Rev ThoB Dixon in the happiest style. He said: In 1883 I attended a lecture given in Eew York by an orator of national reputation.. On the way home the lecture and the great oratorical powers of the lecturer were the subject of conversa tion. In talking about it I said then that there was a young man at Wake Forest College whose intellect and oratorical powers, I thought, were equal to those of -the brilliant orator we had j ust heard. My friend doubt ed the statement and thought my judgment must be warped by my par tiality. Today there are ten thous and people who freely acknowledge aud not from partial reasons, that one of the greatest men and orators of this country is Rev Thos Dixon. Mr Dixon then commenced his ad' dress, comments upon which will be found in the editorial column of the Visitor today. Last night the baccalaureate ser mon was preached to a tremendous audience by Bev Dr WW Landrum, of Virginia. It was a most landable effort and was received with every mark of appreciation. There are quite a number of applicants for the position of Professor of the chair of physics rendered vacant by the resig nation of Prof W H H Michael, but the selection has been postponed un til July. The late Rev Dr J S Purefoy be queathed a sum of money to the Col lege to establish an infirmary. This matter was before the board of trus tees, but they did not seem to think that there was any pressing necessity for the infirmary, and the matter was laid over for future consideration. The graduating class acquitted themselves today with the highest credit receiving the highest praise on all sides. ' The social gathering in the halls tonight promises to be unusual ly brilliant in all respects and a most enjoyable time can with confidence be anticipated. In a word Wake Forest College has surpassed itself in 1 its complete triumphs this year both 1 as regard the intellectual feast offer I ed and in the eclat that has attended I trie exercises. Mr Dixon left this I morning and will lecture inGoldsboro - 1 tonight. . I It is refreshing to note that the I general report, as gathered from gen- I tlemen from all sections of North Carolina in attendance at the college confirms the bright prospects of our farmers. Everybody seems hopeful for a brighter day for the "Old North State." GOV. KOWLK'S OP.NION At tho conclusion of Mr address there were calls for Governor Fowle. He was on the rostrum and was led to the fronjt by President Taylor, He gracefully alluded to his admi ration and partiality for Wake For est. He said he felt like he wanted to thank God for what he had seen and heard today. He referred to the great speech just made by Mr Dixon, and declared that it was the greatest and grandest address he had ever heard from that stage, and he had heard speakers whose fame as intel lectual men and orators was co exten sive with this broad country. "Oh! my friends,!' he exclaimed, patbeti cally and earnestly, "if the principles which have just been set forth by your speaker could be put into prac tice all over this State, what a grand old commonwealth it would be. How many times do you suppose the Gov ernor of the State would be called upon to call out the militia to quell riots. How many times would peo ple assemble themselves in mobs, mask themselves and lay in wait to lynch their fellow man. It would neyer be, my friends no; never,never never! I feel now that I but echo the sentiments of this large audience and of the people of this who e State when I say, God Bless Tom Dixon Acknowledgment. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to accept the hospitalities of the Commonwealth Club of Dur ham, during the session of the State Press Convention July 23d to 25th. The Encampment. Colonel F A Olds has just returned from Wrightsville, where he has been looking after arrangements for the coming encampment. The Colonel says the prospects are that the encampment this year will be a great success in all respects. There will be more companies than usual in camp, and all the arrangements are on a better footing than ever before. Marri ed. Yesterday afternoon Mr Elgar Rembert and Miss Christine Saunders both of Sumter, S C, were united in marriage in the pailor at St Mary's School, Rev Bennett Sinedes, officia ting. There is a bit of romance attending the marriage. It seems that the young lady when in her teens, gave the kindest attentions to Mr Rembert during a severe attack of pneumonia, As a matter of gratitude, Mr Rembert had her educated at St Mary's and a friendship arose between them which ripened into love. This resulted in the marriage.The happy couple have the best wishes of the Visitor for their future happiness. Personal Mention. Bishop Lyman, has gone to Point, Va, to spend a short time. Old Gen W P Roberts, former State Au ditor, is in the city. Col L L Polk and daughters, have returned to the city from Washing ton, D C. Mrs Etta Jones, is quite sick at her residence on West street. Mr Joseph Clements, of Waco, Texas, formerly of Wake county, is visiting friends in this vicinity. Mr H A Wyche, and wife nee Miss Etta Troy, are in the city visiting the family of Mrs C C McDonald. Miss Bessie S Leak and Miss Mary Walker, of Burlington, Alamance Co, are visiting Mrs. Charles Root. After Information. "I say, teacher." "Well?" "Wasn't the fall of Adam a case of Eve's dropping too?" Complimentary. The Greensboro North State thus compliments one of our esteemed cit izens: Colonel Paul Faison is frequently in Greensboro, passing to and fro looking after the convicts and the 1 contractors who have them employ - ed. It is to be said in high praise of Colonel Faison that he has by his energy and attention made the peni tentiary self sustaining. He has not used a cent of the appropriation this year. He has a thousand convicts hired out and looks after them with as much, if not more, attention as if they were in his private business. Such a man is hard to get in a pub lic office. SPECIAL.

This is a fact in all the different phases of life; for instance, in the mercantile line; if the lowest market value of nice all wool challies is 25 cents per yard, and it requires 15 yards for a dress, it cost you $3.75. Now if we sell you 15 yards of the very same brand, made at the same mills, at 18 cents per yard your dress only cost you $2.70, showing a clear saving of $1.05 which amount you have made fairly and squarely just as much so as if you had made it in any of the legitimate vocations of life. While the majority of our ladies have no occupation, yet they can in this way save many dollars, and in the long run make as many dollars by saving in proportion as the husband by his vocation, we nave many things, an examination of which will show you a saving equal to the one mentioned above. We can without doubt give you in twelve months puichases a clear saving of 15 per cent over any house you have ever dealt with. We have made big reductions in all lines for summer months, at Swindell's.
