from tho injiuions effect of convict

Baccalaureate Sermon by Rev. Hartman, D. D., and Graduatlno
Address bu Rey. Harru G. Teagarden.
SALUTATORY, ORATIONS AND VALKDICTORY BY GRADUATES HEARTI
LY RECEIVED-SUPT. TEITRICK PRESENTED DIPLOMAS
The M. E. Church Not Large Enough to Accommodate the Crowd That Wanted
ro Witness the Commencement Exeicises.
The West Ueynoldsville public schools
closed a very successful term lust
Thursday. For the first time in tho
history of the school, coinine lice incut
exercises were held. Kev. 1. M. llart-
luun, D. I)., CiiiulM'rland Presbyterian
preaelier of Puiixsutawney, preached
the baccalaureate sermon In the Ueyn-
oldsvillo Presbyterian churcli Sunday
evening. 4th Inst., to a largo congrega
tion. Tho sermon was a owerful one
and could not htlp but inspire all who
heard it, esM'cially the young, to put
forth greater efforts to win in the raeo
of life. Beautiful potted plants In
bloom were conspicuous In and around
the pulpit.
Monday afternoon a reception was
held in the West Reynoldsvillc school
building. Drawing, paper cutting and
folding, geometrical forms, written
work, &c, were on exhibition at the
school building during tho reception.
Some of tho work was very fine; it was
all creditable. A notice had been sent
that book donations for tho school
library would bo thankfully received
and twenty-eight volumes of excellent
books were donated to the library that
day. A largo number of tho parents
and friends attended tho Monday after
noon reception.
Somo of the finest specimens of the
pupils' drawings wore on exhibition in
one of the largo show windows of A. D.
Docmer & Co.'s store.
Tho commencement exercises held in
tho M. E. church Wednesday evening
surpassed the sanguine expectation of
the large audience that was packed into
tho church like sardines In a box. The
exercises wore to begin at eight o'clock,
but peoplo began gathering in front of
the church at seven o'clock and a quarter
after seven, when tho church doors
were thrown open, a crowd suHiciont to
fill the large auditorium was In waiting
and crowded into the church like a Hock
of sheep getting through tho opening
In a fence when the bars wore let down.
Peoplo were turned away because thoy
could not even got Btandlng room; both
outsldo aisles wore filled the full length
with people standing, who stood during
the entire exercises almost two hours.
At eight o'clock, while the orchestra
played a march, tho graduates, Misses
Etta Sykes, Elizabeth Kouhler,' Miloy
Stiles and Mr, Milton M. Dompsey,
marched into the church and took seats
on the elevatdd platform. The program
of the evening was then taken up. The
first was an Invocation by Rev. J. W.
Crawford, pastor of the church. The
M. E. quartette, John Trudgen, John
Redded i If o, D. M. Dunsmore nnd S. M.
Lowther, favored the audience with a
fine selection. Miss Etta Sykes then
delivered the salutatory "A Welcome
to Peace," which was delivered in a
masterly manner. ' Tho orchestra,
which was composed of nine pieces,
played a selection after which Miss
Mlley Stiles' oration, "Putting 011 the
Brakes," was delivered. The oration
was fine and contained good advice for
all who heard it, especially those who
re starting In life at a fast speed.
"March Onward" was sung by the
Aeolian Octette, Dr. H. Brown King,
J. Fred. Gelslor, F. Penrose Alexander,

F. Henry Beck, S. Max Lowther. T.
Itooks Mitchell, II. Grant Woodward
and P. W. Me Uenthin. This was
followed by an oration, "Training the
Young." by Miss Eli.uheth Kochler,
which was certainly a very fine oration.
Miss Frank in King sang a piece that
was well received. The valedictory,
"No Steps Backward," by Milton L.
Dempsoy, closed tho participation on
tho program by tho graduates. The
octette sang. "A Catastrophe" and made
such a gisid hit that they were called
back for a second selection. Rev.
Harry O. Teagarden, Cumberland
Presbyterian preacher of Oliveburg,
this county, and a t run tee of tho
Waynesburg College, was Introduced
by Prof. Mitchell to deliver the graduat
ing address. Rev. Teagarden, who is a
healthy and lino looking specimen of
humanity, delivered a very able address.
Ho is a good talker and a bright young
man and it is not likely that tho congre
gation at Oliveburg will get keeping
him many years, as larger congregations
are looking for just such ministers.
After music by thooichestraoiir worthy
and efficient county superintendent,
Prof. R. B. Teltrick, delivered an
address and presented the graduates
with diplomas.
Tho people were well pleased with
tho evenings exercises and went totholr
homes feeling that they had been repaid
for venturing out in the mud and rain
to attend tho commencement exercises.

The West Hcynoldsvllle public school
building, of which the above Is a
picture, was erected in 13RT. There
are four large school rooms In the build
ing. About two hundred pupils attend
school in this building.
The teachers and directors of the
West Reynoldsvllle schools are thankful
to the Presbyterian and Methodist

churches, and to the Reynoldsvllle
people who took an active part In the
commencement exercises, and all others
who assisted In making the commence
ment a success.

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters Is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed when the languid,
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver Is torpid and sluggish and tho
need of a tonic and alterative Is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will net more
surely in counteracting and freeing tho
system from the malaria poison. Head
ache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. "(lc. and $1.00
