NORMAL OOMMENOEMENT.
Sermon by Rev. Mr. Rondthaler—
Addresses by Governor Aycock
and Dr. Smith.
The annual commencement of the
State Normal and Industrial College,
always an event of more than passing
interest to a great many North Caro-linians,
is in progress.
The exercises were ushered in Sat-urday
night with an alumnae reunion
and banquet, at which the members of
the graduating class were guests of
honor. The banquet was probably the
best ever given at the institution on a
similar occasion. Miss Margaret Peirce,
of the class of '99, was toastmaster. In
graceful style she introduced the fol-lowing
persons, who responded to the
toasts given:
Miss Eleanor Watson, '•Our Alma
Mater."
President Charles D. Mclver, "The
Literary Societies."
Miss Flora Patterson, a teacher In
the High Point graded schools, "Being
a Schoolmarm."
Mrs. E. McK. Goodwin, of Morgan-ton,
"The ex-Schoolmarm."
Prof. J. Y. Joyner, "Visions of the
Future."
On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock
Rev. Howard E. Rondthaler, of Win-ston-
Salem, delivered the annual ser-mon.
Although the weather was quite
unfavorable, the chapel was filled by a
large crowd of people, who heard the
gifted young minister with a great
deal of interest.
Mr. Rondthaler's subject was "The
Touch of Jesus," his text being Mat-thew
S :15, "And He touched her hand."

MARKET REPORT.
Oar sales have been of medium size
for the psst week, but heavy enough
to keep our buyers and manufacturers
busy all the while handling their pur-chases.
Those selling on our market
were representative farmers from all
points of the compass and expressed
themselves as being well pleased with
prices.
There was a lot of good working to-bacco
sold on our floors this week,
which was very eagerly picked up at
outside prices. All grades are high
and the market quite active.
Col. O. Wemple, president of the
Danville, Va., Tobacco Association,
and a prominent tobacconist of that
place, spent one day with us the' past
week.
A good opening can be made on this
market for a wide-awake warehouse-man
to make money next year. Do
yau want it? If so call on, or write at
once, Bray Brothers, Greensboro, N. C.
This is a fine season for planting to-bacco
and millions of plants will be
stuck. Don't let your back discourage
you, but remember that the man who
grows good tobacco this year will have
dollars for his care.
We noticed several prominent to-bacconists
from different towns in the
state at the meeting of the Grand Com-mandery
of Knights Templar last
week. This is a great order. The
