The exercises at the Oxford Female Seminary on Tuesday night were of the most agreeable character. The Chapel, by the way, is not capacious enough for the requirements of this school which holds such a popular position in public favor. Since the confirmed illness of Prof. Hobgood Rev. C. A. Jenkins, an ac complished scholar and gentleman, has been serving as President of the Semi nary. He has had an able corps of assist ants, indeed in this respect the Seminary stands u nsu r passed . The large aivMence in attendance Tues day nijrht saw the results of good training in the creditable character of the exer cises. The music, was of superior merit and the recitations were splendid, reflect ing much credit on the bevy of lovpty lassies who were the actors in the inspir ing exercises as well as upon their teach ers. We wish we had time and space to particularize. The School Festival, a Cantata by the class was handsomely rendered, as in truth were all the features of the night's enter tainment. The iollowing young ladies are the graduates from this institution the present session: Misses. Sallie and Evie Street, Mill Creek, N. C, Miss Nettie Beckwith, Glenmore, Ga., Miss Lillie Bowling, Lus ter, N. C, Miss Lonie Kronheimer, Ox ford, N. C, Miss Annie Carleton, Durham, N.

L Poteat, of Wake I'orest, delivered Thurs day at 11 o'clock a. m. was in every re spect appropriate and highly instructive, showing that there was no mistake made in selecting him as orator. Everything about the public exercises at the Seminary so fas have been of a very pleasing and successful character. Oxford and those interested in educa tional interests are to be congratulated that this far famed Seminary will be in the hands of an accomplished educator in the future, Prof. Penick, who hopes to add still more to its fame and patronage than it has ever yet enjoyed.

The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual.

So many feel they owe their restoration to health to the use of the Great Alterative and tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c. and $1. per bottle at J. G.
