Mr. Vass arose and announced that it became his painful 1 duty to inform the pupils and the public that Prof. O'Neal had withdrawn his ap plication for a position in the school for the re.xt year, and as; a testimonial of the high regard in which he was held by his eias-j. jR' had the pleasure of pre- i senting him. on the part of the class, a beautiful cane. As the Professor went forward to accept it a shower of boquets were hurled at him. He is a good teacher and his many friends here wish ' him success in his future field of labor ; w-hercver it may be. SONG. : The cane presentation was followed ! bv a song Auld Lang Syne from the 1 Third and Fourth Grades in words well suited for the occasion. MPLoMAS. , The graduating class Allen and Leah Jones Thomas, were present c llie President of the l.oar .

Recollect mg that tn .vvledge is power, stop not herein your pur-e.it ol the same, but press for ward to the front rank, and endeavor to stand, a peer among the w ise. the good and honored of the earth." Tin: RESPONSE. Tiie response, by Miss Lottie Hubbs, was well read, but her sweet, gentle voice is not strong enough for reading to a large out-door audience, conse quently many did not hear it distinctly, though it was well received by all. The benediction was pronounced by Ulv. Mr. Vass. and thus closed the sec ond year of the New Berue Graded School. Aud now we with to say a word to our people about the future success of the school. It is hoped to have l he new building completed in time for the open ing, of the next session. But the new building is not all that is needed. Do we de-sire to make New Berne the edu cational center for this entire section' If so. we must have a large, well-arranged hall in which to have the annual commencement exercises, so that our friends may come from the country to witness them. No belter advertisement can be made for a school than these an nual exhibits where large numbers of people from the surrounding country gather to see what has been done, and see if it is a proper place to send their children to be educated. We are glad to see so much unity among the trustees, and such earnest efforts on their part to make this school a success. Evidence of this on their part will draw the hearty support of the community. Let us regard this institu tion as a common interest around which we can all rally, and New Berne will soon regain her former proud position in culture and literature. Till: MEl'TENANT (lOVEKNOK.
