The commencement exercises of Markham high school were held Friday evening, there being five graduates. A large crowd of people were in attendance, and the program for the evening was a splendid one, but was interrupted near the last by the rain which came up, causing so much confusion that the address which Prof. Echols of Palacios was giving, had to be discounted, which was a disappointment to many, as it promised to be such a fine one. However, everyone was delighted to get the good rain.
