LAFAYETTE NOTES.

LAFAY ETTE, June 1--we had Il
very good rain i'll the neighborhood
Saturday and another Sunday. Most
of the farmers will get through plant
ing tobacco, though some of them are
scarce of plants, wheat is getting
about already for the harvesters.
Some will begin cutting this week,
the prospect in very fair for good
yield.
We had the pleasure of attending
the commencement exercises of the
Lafayette High School last week.
Those who attended the concert on
Thursday evening we've highly enter
tanned. The charades, recitations,
&c. were all well rendered, rejecting
much credit on the pupils and also on
their very efficient teachers, Bro,
S. L. Frogge. mo Body's Child"
by Miss Mable Marshall, was one of
the most touching scenes we have ever
witnessed. The little bright-eyed
beauty was clad in tattered garments,
with her dissheveled hair heaging
about her shoulders, and as she knelt
there before that large audience, with
uplifted hands and eyes, we could
imagine that we could almost see the
white winged angels lowering over
her impatiently waiting to bear her
spirit to that cline where she would
he "Some Body's Child" On last
Friday night was the annual levee of
the Lafayette High School, which is
Away an occasion of much pleasure
to the young folks and especially SO
was this one, on account of the ice
cream festival which was given in
connection Herewith, for the benefit
of the Christian church. The tables
were beautifully decorated with
flowers of various kinds, which were
only surpassed in beauty and lowell
ness by the fair walters, Misses Lu.
lie Tuck, Sudie Northington, IIally
Rives and Nee Hester. There was a
perfect, "feast of cream and flow OF
beauty" Kentucky is noted for her
pretty woman, and South Christian
can boast of as many and as pretty
as any other potion of the State. The
cream and cake were delicious, and
it seemed as if some of the young
gentlemen would never get enough
We fear one young gentleman would
have been there till now had not a
certain fair waiter been too busily
engaged to devote her whole attention
to him.
We wish to express our profound
gratitude to all of the young gentle
men for their liberal patronage, and
hope life may always be as pleasant
TO them as it seemed to be ON that
occasion. Amoung the young lady
visitors were Misses Lula Rives, and
Lucy and Rosa Williams, of CARROTS
burg, Misses Lizzie Nance and Mary
Campbell, of Roaring Springs, Miss
Ruth Cooper, of Bennettstown, and
