The Decatur Journal. 1. A. PHILLIPS & CO., Proprietors. Watered in the Poitoffice at Decatur m Second Class Mail Matter. ■ FRIDAY, JUNE 15.1883. High School Commencement. The Third Annual Commencement of the Decatur high school was held on Friday evening last, June Bth, at the M. E. church. By 8 o’clock the spacious building was packed with an interesting and expectant throng. The church was splendidly decorated with flowers, and a motto was suspended across the church near the pulpit, reading—“ Finished. Labor is Pleasant” At 8 o’clock a procession marched in from one of the ante-rooms, consisting of nine flower girls bearing decora, ted boquet baskets, the board of trustees, the ministers, the teachers, and the graduating class. This class consists of the following persons: Misses Melissa McConnehey and Lizzie Brake and Messrs. George Brock, Manassah -Gerard, Craig Miller and Dick Dorwin. , An invocation was offered by Rev. M. A. Teague, pastor of the church. A song of welcome followed, then an <ssaywas read by Miss Melissa McGonnebey, entitled, “Purpose and ■Will.” The essay was prefaced by a charming salutatory. The essay was read with a distinct voice, and it abounded in clear cut thought, elegantly expressed. She showed that .-no person can make a success in any line of life without forming a determined purpose to do right. Mr. Geo. Brock gave an oration on ■“The American Home,” in which he pictured the importance of the influence of home, and showed that the future hope of America consisted in maintaining the purity of home. Mr. Brock made a pleasing impression as a speaker. After which Miss Jesse Allison rendered a beautiful song, the warbling -notes of which floated upon the air. Mr. Manassah Gerard followed with a thoughtful and well written oration, to which the audience gave attention, on a “Nation’s Wealth—lts Men.” He showed that not in gold, or gems, or commercial success, not in the shock of arms, nor in the eloquence of the lorum, but in honest, virtuous citizens, a nation's wealth is found. Miss Lizzie Brake presented an essay, ‘'Life is Short.” An important subject well handled, and distinctly read, so that it was a pleasure to listen to her. A select choir rendered a song with good effect. The choir consisted of Messrs. Mann, McConnehey, Patterson ~jpd Stanton, and Mrs. C. T. Dorwin, Mrs. Clinton Patterson, Miss Hill and Miss Jessie Allison. Mr. Craig Miller then delivered an oration, on,'“Earth’s Battle Field,” in which he showed that earth’s destinies were often turned by the fate of a battle. Napoleon the Great met his great disaster at Waterloo. Had he gained the day instead of losing it, the map of Europe would have needed reconconstruction. Mr. Miller has a very happy delivery. His voice is good, his gestures appropriate and he entered himselfso heartily into the spirit of his oratum that he carried his audience along with him. Mr. Dick Dorwin being next fulled, came forward with his oration on “Self-Reliance.” He presented bis wbjectin a practical/ and forcible manner, showing that self-reliance is emential to success. Mr. Dorwin delivered a touching valedictory, appropriately addressing, in turn, his classmates, his teachers and the board of trustees. At the conclusion of his oration Miss Maggie Hill sang a solo, entitled, «Tbe Test Hymn.” in which the ship wreck of a vessel near shore was graphically described, and the last hymn of a perishing mariner; this hymn was, “Jesus, lover of my soul.” The audience was hurshed to a breathless silence while the soft and gentle notes of Miss Hill, were rendered with perfect distinctness and a pathos that dimmed many an eye.

Mr. D. D. Heller then delivered an addrew to the graduates, which was replete with profound thought and instructive. Miss Anna Lewis, and Miss Jessie Allison performed a fine duet upon the piano. Mr. R. S. Peterson, the president of the board ot trustees, presented the diplomas to the graduates with appropriate remarks. A class song to the familiar air, •Auld Lang Sayne,” was the closing exercises, and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. A. J. Reynolds, - pastor c f the Presbyterian church. At the close of each essay and oration the nine little girls who gathered cp the floral tributes of the audience to the graduates,were kept busy. Some Os the class also received presents of books. An elegant piano stood upon the platform which was preaided over by Mi« Anna Lewis with her accustomed aHL During the whole of the exercises the order of the audience was excellent, and about ten o’clock all went to thar homes feeling that the graduating 4Xerc»es this year were highly creditable to all concerned.

Indiana contains 33,809 square miles of territory, making 21,637,760 acres of land. / Editor Dane, of the New York Sun, fan in voted $45,000 in New York reel ertate—-lx. That is just what we intend to do. Parties having real estate to that amount will find ready sale by calling at this office. It will be 108 years to-morrow since Gen. Washington was elected com-mander-in-chief of the American armies. Two days later the battle of Bunker Hill was fought. The Northern Editorial Convention convened at Ft. Wayne yesterday and will continue over to-day. Owing to a rush of work we were unable to attend. We send greetings to our brethern of the press. Our exchanges are warning people to look ont for a couple of frauds who are traveling under different names, claiming to be government agents, in search of those entitled to an increase of pension. They demand five dollars in advance to look up the claim. They ! are frauds. The government has no such agents. Puck is a Democrat but it hits its own party about as hard as it does the other. In the last issue there is a picture of a Democrat sitting on a jagged stump which is labelled, “No Policy.” At the foot of the stump is a bear labelled, “Tariff Question.” The man looks hopelessly down at the bear and mutters, “If I tackle it, it will get the better of me, and if I don’t I shall starye.” That’s about the size of it. The Masons of this place received their dispensation last Saturday and organized the same evening. The fol-> lowing officers were elected for the | ensuing year: J. S. Coverdale, W. M; R. S. Peterson, S. W.; B. W. Sholty, J. W.; G. Christen, Secretary; R. B. Allison, Treasurer; D. C. Townsend, S. D.; Wm. Pillars, J. D.; E. G. Coverdale, Tyler. The Lodge starts out with sixteen charter members under Masonic law. They will have to work under a dispensation until the meeting of the Grand Lodge next May, when they well be granted a charter. The members composing the present organization arc among the best class of citizens of the city and country. The Journal wishes the new organization success. Considerable complaint has been made in regard to the action of the county commissioners in refusing to make any approriation for the building of bridges in the different townships. Every township in the county has one or mdiro bridges to build, /or which it claims that the county is liable. The commissioners, on the other hand, claim that there is no bridge fund on hand, and therefore dismissed every petition for an appropration for building bridges which was filed at the present term of the commissioners court They have made a levy of ten cents on the hundred dollars valuation, as a bridge fund. The levy will give, for that purpose about $4: 000 00, and will enable the different townships to build bridges next summer.

Sabbath School Convention, i Owing to a missunderstanding we failed last week, to give the proceedings of the Adams county Sabbath j School convention was held atj the M. E. Church on the sth inst.,; many important questions connected ) with the wellfare of the school, was j discussed by those interested in the work. The following resolutions were adopted: RksoLVID, Thut the Sabbath School interest, ii dear as ever to our hearts, as we think it 1- : dear to the heart of Christ, and we desire to ' make it all that it ought to bo for the salration I of souls. 2 That we feel It Is both the duty and the privilege of 8. 8. teachers and scholars, to attend faithfully the preaching of the Gospel, and it is the duty of the church to attend the Sabbath School. 3 That parents instead of saying to their. children “go” to ehurch and Sabbath School, should say “come." 4 That 8. 8. teachers should Brst personally believe in Christ themselves, and then labor and pray to bring the scholars to do the sama, availing themselves of every help, asking the guidianee of the Holy Spirit 5 That our 8. 8. libraries and literature should contain only books and papers which have a positive tendency to load their readers to see themsolvoo as sinners needing the Savior Christ, and induce them to bo saved by him, and to be Melons ia saving others. I « While all our teachers should be earnest 1 and skilful Christians to win souls The infant classes should receive the best teachers' 7 We ought to look tithe Sabbath School I children as they will become Christians and labor in our churches as faithful members. 8 The Sabbath School ought not to be made a substitute for, but a helper to parental in I struetion.
