the pupils of Miss Bessie Rembert' s
schools, 81 in number, with other
invited guests. The closing exercises
of the pupils began at IL o'clock and
occupied two hours. Then there was
a beautiful May coronation scene on a
stage handsomely decorated with flow

guards in uniform and maids of honor,
the whole furnishing a picturesque
and animated spectacle. After this a
basket dinner was enjoyed,
and the afternoon was passed
in dancing and other ex.
hilarating and pleasant merriment.
Among the visitors was Mrs. Horton,
the County Superintendent of Public
Instruction. The participants all
join in declaring that children never
entered with greater zest into the
spirit of innocent epjOyments, and
they were quite enthusiastic regarding
the entertainment. The public schools
of the county we're all closed on the
last of April, for want of funds, but
Miss Rembert continues to teach a
pay school at the same location.
