The final game in the decisive set Of the
series between Mr.. Emerson and Mr.. Fox,
was played late in the afternoon, and was a
sharp struggle. marked by many brilliant
plays. Mr.. Emerson scored rapidly to 40,
with nothing for Mr.. Fox. Then his oppo-
nent began to score, and three fine plays
made deuce game. Each side had vantage
before Mr. Fox scored two successive points
and the game.
Mr.. Dana was waiting for chance to
play the winner In the Fox and Emerson
contest, and Mr.. Fox at once gave him the
opportunity. No other tournament game
was then in progress, and all the spectators
on the field gathered about the court, liberal
ly applauding the contestants, whose fine
game gave their interested friends abundant
opportunity to show their appreciation. Mr..
Dana's play was noticeable for the strength
and skill of his serving, Mr.. Fox meeting it
with such promptitude and good effect, how
ever. and playing his own serve sets to such
advantage that the two sets each resulted In
his favor as follows:

sion of it.
Students of Westsr Academy
carried with them, to their homes
six hundred mid-year catalogues,
to supply their friends who are in
terested in education.
Rev. Mr.. Walker visited school
Wednesday morning and conduct
ed the opening exercises. He gave
q very nice and very encouraging
talk to the students on the i'm
portance of improving their pres
ent opportunities.
The closing for holidays was an
occasion long to be remembered
by both teachers and pupils.
Prof's. Anderson and Mason ad-
dressed the pupils for a short time
commencing them for their pro-
gress and their courteous deport-
ment and inspiring them with a
noble ambition for the future. I'm
mediately after this, one of the
students, Mr.. Simpson, advanced
to the rostrum and in neat little
speech presented a very elegant
gold headed cane to Prof. Mason.
Mr.. Dameror, another student,
presented Prof. Anderson with it's
counterpart in nicely worded
address. The Professors respond
ed to each of these with speech
in which they expressed their
high appreciation of the gifts and
also of the spirit which prompted
the students Of Western Academy
to present them.
Mrs. Anderson then arose and
in behalf of the young ladies pre-
sented Prof. Rause with nice
toilet case. Prof. Geo. T. Mason,
on behalf of the gentlemen of the
institution presented Mrs. Ander-
son with fine family Bible, to
which she responded with a very
appropriate and elegantly worded
address. After this Misses Nellie
Fisher and Maud Long on their
own behalf presented Profs. An
derson and Mason respectively, a
shaving set and collar and cuff
case. In the evening Mrs. Davis
and her pupils gaze musical en-
tertainment, after which the stu
dents and their friends remained
and enjoyed themselves socially,
listening to music discoursed by
LaBelle Band and recitations de-
liyered by members of the vari-
GUS societies. They all seemed to
enjoy themselves very m uch and
separated for their homes with
many mutual wishes for Merry
Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

EDITOR GRAPHIC:-l believe it
is customary where one has been

answering one question, and say

his giving and answering one or
more questions, and leaving out

Does 1t not leave the devil clear,

Browder seems to be very fond of

the book with "a skip, hop and

for his side to skip the whole

he uses toward me. Among other

the poor, Miss Sattie Glenn. Jack
Frost, Prof. Forquer. Santa

form was most exquisitely decora-
ted with evergreeens and spow,
and the costumes were nearly per-
fection in every way. Pattie, who
appeared in faded and patched
calico, with shawl over her beauti-
full ringlets, played her part in a
most skillful manner. The Fairies
in their georgous costumes, rep
resented much of the beauty, re-
tlnment and musical talent of
Kirksville. Prof. Forquer, who
was the Chief drill master in the
preparation, was presented at the
close with an elegant present, on
the part of the Sunday School.
THE C. P. CHURCH.
The exercises of this Sunday
school were held in the Opera
house, which was packed from
parquette to gallery. The exer-
cises opened with an address of
welcome and prayer by DR.. J. B.
Mitchell, the pastor of the church,
followed by a prologue by the
Orchestra. The greeting glee
was then given by the entire
school, and was followed by a
beautifully rendered duett by
Misses Alta Baird and Lena
Wilkes, and the invocation to
the goddess of Joy, a solo by
Miss Matte Dinsmore. These
exercises we're followed by the
Christmas Cantata, "Santa Claus" )"
PRESENTATIONS = Frost King,

W. Ross; Goddess of Joy, Miss
Anna Nelson; Goddess Of Hope,

Mirth, Mrs. Ed. G. Picker; God
dess OF Dreams, Miss Grace Sharp;
Goddess of Peace, Miss Ida Mil
Ter; fairies, Mrs. Fl. E. Patterson,
and Misses Hila Richey and
Matte Smith.
The beautiful Christmas Cantata
was almost faultlessly rendered in
every detail. Probably the most
beautiful and entertaining part,
however, was the bedroom scene.
When the curtain arose on this
scene six little children were rep
resented as dressed ready for bed,
and with tneir attendants were
hanging up the little stockings.
After the children were put to bed
and the coverlets tucked close
about each little face, the Goddess
of Dreams entered and put them
to sleep by singing a lullaby and
waving over them her magic wand.
Then entered the three fairies,
each of whom sang asolo and then
joined in beautiful trio to fur
ther deepen the slumbers of the
children. After the departure of
the fairies Santa Claus entered on
tip toe and proceeded to fill the
stockings. While engaged in this
he stumbled over a chair and
awoke the children, who sat up
and gazed in mute astonishment.
After making them pleasant
speech, he bade them good night
when he retired. The children
then jumped out of bed to exam
lie the stockings, which were we'll
filled. The ex ercises closed with
Santa Claus and the entire school
on the stage, and the singing of
the song "To Thee Indulgent
Father, These Festive Scenes We
Owe"
The entire program WIS under
the management of Mr.. W. J.
Brasfield, to whom as! leader ard
drill master the great success of
the occasion is due.
