Commencement Exercisea at Greena-boro
Female College.
The flfty-flfth annual commencement
of Greensboro Female College la in
progress. The exercises opened Mon-day
right with an elocution recital,
which was attended by a large crowd.
The annual sermon was preached In
the college chapel yesterday morning
by Rev. R. C. Beaman, of Elizabeth
City. He spoke of the influence of
woman on civilization and compared
her atation in life to what it was be-fore
the influence of the Christian re-ligion
touched the world, drawing a
vivid contrast between her exalted sta-tion
in Christian lands and her de-graded
position among heathens today.
The preacher declared that man was
superior to woman iu nothing but the
smaller things of life and that he was
her inferior in many of the nobler and
higher traits. The sermon was a fine
effort and was heard with muoh inter-est.
The members of the Alumnae Asso-ciation
held a very pleasant reunion
and banquet yesterday afternoon and
evening. Many of the alumnae and
former students wera present. At 8 30
o'clock in the evening Rev. Plato T.
Durham, of Trinity College, Durham,
delivered the annual address before
the Alumnae Association. Mr. Dur-ham
is a very gifted young man and
his hearers were both entertained and
instructed by his address.
The graduating exercises took place
this morning. The following are the
'graduates and the subjects of their

Franchise Granted by the Aldermen
—Other Business Transacted.
It is not at all improbable that
Greensboro will have, in the near fu-ture,
a rtrst-class electric street rail-way.
At their regular meeting Friday
night the aldermen granted a fran-chise
for this purpose to the Greens-boro
Electric Company, composed of
M. D. Barr and John Karr, of New
York, and their associates. The fran-chise
is for a period of thirty years and
stipulates that work on the railway is
to begin within the next six months
and that five miles are to be in opera-tion
within eighteen months. It is
also stipulated that the company is to
be prepared to furnish lights for the
streets and power for the waterworks
by the first of next January.
The company proposes to furnish
one hundred arc lights,of which twen-ty-
live are to be on an all-night sched-ule,
for $65 a year each. This is less
than the city is now paying for what
is known as a "moonlight" schedule;
that is, lights that are not operated
when the moon is shining. The com-pany
will also install an incandescent
system and furnish electric power to
private individuals—two things that
are greatly needed in Greensboro,
The gentlemen composing the
Greensboro Electric Company evi-dently

in one of the local banks a cer-tified
check for $1,000 as an evidence I
of good faith. This will be forfeited If I
they fail to carry out their contract

MARKET REPORT.
Our sales have not been very large
for the past week, but have been large
enough to keep our buyers and manu-factures
busy handling their purchases.
They would have been very much
larger but for the excessive rains and
high water, which prevented farmers
from coming to market.
The quality of the offerings remains
about the same, but the tobacco on the
market the latter part of last week was
In very bad condition; some of It was
wet enough to ring water out of, and
as the weather was warm, it would
damage io one night's time, which
made it very bad on the buyers and
kept it from bringing a good price.
Prices on all grades were fully as
good as they have been any time this
season, and a very Intelligent farmer,
who has been selling on this market
for several years, said that he got the
best prices the past week he bad gotten
for a long time. We would say that
prices on all grades remain about the
same to a sbade higher, with a very
active market.

The commencement exercises of the
Greensboro graded schools took place
in the chapel of the Lindsay Street
school laot Friday morning and were
attended by a large crowd. The ad-dress
was delivered by Rev. Dr. E. W.
Smith, who spoke on success. He ad-vised
his young hearers to ever have
a high purpose in life—to aim high,
work bard and persevere, and success
would be theirs. He pointed out that
these elements were more often re-sponsible
for a successful life than

Mr. J. H. Thompson, a well known

of tobacco here some days ago at an
average price of $14 per hundred.
Mr. J. O. Lambeth, a well known to-bacco
grower of the Brown Summit
section, informs the PATRIOT that he
has finished planting tobacco and says
that a full crop will be grown in his
neighborhood this year. Mr. Lambeth
and his brother have put out 90,000
plants.
One of the largest tobacco deals ever
made in the West has just been carried
through in Madisou, H is., by the sale
to a Philadelphia firm of 13,000 cases of
last year's crop of Wisconsin tobacco.
About $350,000 cash changed hands.
The shipment will amount to about
300 car loads.
Mr. Washington Duke, "the father of

said, is in the city attending the com- j

He was one of the first men in

business, and no one has been
more successful.
We learn that a good deal of tobacco
has been planted during the present
season, but the excessive rains bare
kept the land so wet that furl ber prep-aration
cannot be made, hence the re- '
