The Graded School commencement was held on last Friday and Friday night. The exercises were a great success, best yet had by the school and proved of much Interest to our people, all of whom are Interested in the success of this Important Institu tion. The exercises commenced -at 10:30 a. m. In the Chapel. Dr. B. K. Huysde livered the address of welcome in a most appropriate manner, which was followed by prayer by Rev F. M. Shamburger, after which the follow ing programme was rendered: Chorus Joys of Spring Geibel. Essay General Joseph Wheeler Otis Steffo Brown. Essay Forestry: A National Prob lem Louie Moffitt Mitchell. . Essay The Beglnningof tbeAmer lcan Navy: John Paul Jones Sophy Llttlejohn Taylor. Chorus Invitation from Summer Marzo. Essay Alaska and Its Possibilities Earnest Brodle Howard Essay Woman in Literature. Sap pho Geo. Eliot. Mrs. Browning Lillian Minor. After the reading of theesHays came the reading of distinctions und the presentation of certificates. The cer tificates were presented by Mr. S. W. Minor, of Durham, in a most pleading address. The presentation of the Davis Med al was by Prof. C. T. Goode.prlnelpal of the school In a brief, but most elo quent speech. Following this was the chorus, "Merry Juue" by Vincent. In the afternoon at 4:30 the presen tation exercises by the Jr. O. U. A. M. were held in the Chapel, and a large audience witnessed the following ex ercises: - PROGRAM. Address of Welcome D, Prayer Dr. Dunaway. Song Columbia, My II. Bland. Country School Chorus. Address The Junior Order Dr. ''orest Col- ('has. Brewer, of Wake I lege. Song The Star Spangled Banner- School Chorus. Presentation of Bible B. S. Roye ter. Acceptation of Bible W. A. Devin. Song The Heaven Born Banner School Chorus. Presentation of Flag R. G. Klt trell. Acceptation of Flag D. H. Bland. Raising of Flag Marie Medford. Song Amerlca-Audlence. The concluding exercises were held la the Opera House on Friday even ing aud were witnessed by a full house. At S;.0 a musical debate by the children was given which proved very amusing and interesting, which was as follows: "Which is Better, Winter or Sum mer Affirmative King Winter, Jack, v rost, I he Brownies. Negative flowers. Bees, .t'.uttei flies. v 1 we have witnessed In some time was the children consisting almost of the entire school who were lined up upon the stage and beautifully rendered the above musical debate. The scene was one which greatly pleased the audience and elicited much applause. The manner In which they acquitted themselves showed the thorough and careful training they had received. The annual address was delivered at the close of the other exercises by Dr. Chas. D.McIver.of the State Nor mal. Greensboro. The speaker was Introduced In a most felicitous man ner by Judge A. W. Graham. Dr. Mclver spoke for over an hour and made one of the greatest address es ever heard in Oxford. He Is easily one of the greatest teachers and ed ucators In the State and in the en tire South. A report of this splendid ed ucational address would be Impossi ble, but to hear it was a source of in spiration to the children, the parents and the friends of the school and all those interested In public education. The speech will be long remembered by those who heard It. We are glad to say that the Graded School closes in a most prosperous condition. " The attendance and the work was never better, aud the per sonel of the corps of teachers Is all that could be desired. The work done by Supt. Bland, Prof. Goode, the principal, and all the teachers during the past year has given great satisfaction to the pa trons of the school. We rejoice that this is so and that the prospects for the next year are most promising. Bacon truly says that "ourstudles and education should neither be a couch on which to rest; noraclolster In which to promenade alone; nor a tower from which to look down on others; nor a fortress whence we may resist them: nor a workshop for gain or merchandise: but a rich armory and treasury for the glory of tne Creator and the ennoblement of life." The Oxford Graded Schools are to train the mind to think and observe; to acquire a thirst for knowledge; to develop the mind, heart and hand and fit It for the duties of life and to train children so they may be able to appreciate and enjoy Intellectual gifts. Why Not Give Judgeship to Durham ? It is now a foregone conclusion that Hon. A. E. Brooks, of Guilford, will be renominated for Solicitor by acclamation at the coming conven tion. It Is also safe to say that the able and brilliant Wm. W. Kltchtn, will be renominated for Congress without opposition. Nowshouldnot Durham county, which Is one of the leading counties In this Judicial Dis trict both as to population and In men who have rendered valuable ser vice to the party, be recognized In the Judgeship? For many years Dur ham has sought and received few honors at the bands of the party. We believe that now. Is the time that' the party should acknowledge herclalms and nominate the well-fitted J.Craw ford Biggs for Judge. No one denies that he is worthy, that be Is able, that his public and private life Is lean, and that he possesses the qualities which are necessary for this high of fice. In all fairness can Guilford, who has been given the Judge and Solici tor 8 years, again claim both these honors? Under the circumstances can the claims of Durham be justly ignored ? We believe that Granville will take pleasure In .casting her solid vote fo Mr. B'ggs, svho Is a native son of old (Jranvllle. MUSIC CLASS.

KATE HAYS FLEMING. THE OXFORD SEMINARY. Commencement Exercises Great Sue ces. Able Sermons Successful Years Work. The regular annual commencement exrte of Oxford Seminary began last Sundav moruing with the bae cnlaureate sermon at the Baptist chiir. h bv Rev. Dr. J. W. Lynch, ot Wake Forest. Dr. Lynch Is rightly regarded as one of the most able and senolarly Divines In the state, and well did he sustain his reputation on this occasion. His sermon on Sun day was based on part of the "Ser mon on the Mount." "Take no thought for the Morrow, etc." the subject being "Anxiety and ItsCure.' While even a synopsis of this splen did sermon Is Impossible It Is safe to sav that It was well up to nis nign standard and delighted the large consrreiratlon who heard him. The music for this service was furnished bv the vounsr ladles of the Seminary, one hundred or more voices joining lnj the singing. Miss Tourman.vocal toacher, rendered a beautiful solo which was well received. lAt the evening services Dr. Jasper Cj Massey.pastor of the Raleigh Bap tlst Tabernacle, preached the ser nion before the Young Woman's Mis sionary Society. Dr. Masse y chose as his subject "The mans Christ Jesus hjs humanity and his Lordship." He ipllvered a most eloquent sermon. lr. Massey Is pastor of the largest llaptlst congregation in North Caro lina. Though a young man he Is one the greatest divines In his denomi ration and la a most excellent pastor, ills delivery Is most Impressive and his manner engaging. By common consent his sermon on Sunday even ijg was regarded as one of the ablest ijimmeucement sermons ever deliv (ten in Oxford. (The choir at the evening service as composed entirely of Seminary students. Miss Louise Buchanan sang u solo, greatly to the oellght of all ho heard her. Miss Buchanan has tor some time been the organist of the Baptist church, aud Is highly tal ented lu music. The art exhibit came at 3:30 and was held In the studio. The exhibit was viewed by a large number of persons and was pronounced, very Ine. Class Day Exercises were held on Monday at 11 o'clock a. m.

Bachelors of Letters Rowena Margarett Daniel, Lucy Cleone Llles, Pauline Lois Whitley. Graduates In the school of piano music Louise Buchanan. A very pretty ceremony during the ('lass Day Exercises was the Juniors receiving the Seniors, the Juniors marching In trout with flower chain and opening ranks for the Seulors, while the Seniors marched in the ae companymeut of the class song sung by the entire school. ! The general opinion is that this ?Wirierr. which was held at 5 i. in. was the ve'ry best of the many given ny this excellent institution. There was an unusually large number of piano solos, also many grand quar tettes and many advanced students In the class. There were also many vocal solos and vocal quartettes. Two fine choruses were sung by 50 tr more members of "Slkes Singing Class " The thorough training irlveu was maulfest in every piece sung. Miss Tourman, who has been at the head of this department for eight years has no superior lu the Stale In her profession. At the conclusion of the class ex ercises came the report of the Presi dent, who mentioned the improve ments made during the year. New pianos, new furniture and new scien tific aparatus, have been added. The new building burned last November has been replaced, and is now occu pied. The total enrollment foe board ing students for the year iust closed was 115. The local patronage was better than for many years past. There Is now only one vacancy In the chair of teachers. The assistant vocal teacher has resigned to accept! a similar position at Randolph-Macon College. Her place will be filled by Miss Jane Lacy, who Is a graduate at the Great Metropolitan College of Music, of New York City. and a past graduate of the Oxford Seminary. Two of the teachers In the Seminary have left for the study in Cornell Uni versity. Miss G randy will take a special course In Literature and His tory. Miss Egbert will take a special course In Science. Miss Tevln Is at the Paris Conservatory of Music. All of these will return In the fall. Those who attended Seminary exer cises pronounce them greatest success ever had at the school, and there were more visitors present than ever before. We note with pleasure the continued success of this most excel lent institution of learning, and the editor extends warmest congratula ions to President Hobgood. HARGROVE NOTES.

It depends on the strength of the stomach to what extent food eaten is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation who have abundant fond to eat. when the stomach and its associate, organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duty. Thus the stomach is really the vital or gan of the. body. If the stomach is "weak" the body will be weak also, because it is upon the stomach the body relies for its strength. And as the body, considered as a whole, is made up of its several mem bers and organs, so the weakness of the body as a consequence of "weak" stom ach will be distributed among the or gans which compose the body. If the body is weak because it is ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in all the organs heart, liver, kidneys, etc. Ihe liver will be torpid and inactive, giving rise to biliousness. loss of appetite weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache, backache and kindred disturbances and weaknesses. Mr. Louis Pare, of Quebec, writes: "For years after my health besran to fail, my head grew dixzy. eyes pained me. and my stomach was sore all the time, while everything I would eat would seem to lie heavy like lead 011 my stomach. The ductors claimed that it was sympathetic trouble due to dyspepsia, and prescribed for me. and although 1 took their powders regularly yet 1 felt no better. My wife an vised me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and stop taking the doc tor's medicine. She bought me a Untie and we soon found that 1 began to improve, so I kept up the treatment. 1 took on tiesh. my stomach became normal, the digestive organs worked perfectly and I soon began to look like a different person. I can never cease to be grateful for what your medicine has done for me and 1 certainly give it highest praise."
