ningham's paper was good, but few
caught the meaning as he did not
read loud enough. Edgar McBath's
Grafton, "Steps in Advance" was in
our judgement the best delivered
and ablest production of the even
ing. 1t was excellent for one of so
little experience in public speaking
and had the true 10Th century ring.
Miss Annie Edmondson, who was
awarded the medal for having the
best production of the evening, read
a well written essay on "Chivalry."
This essay was good from a literary
standpoint, but the reasoning and
conclusions were not so sound. 1t
is hard to covince an audience of to
day that the days of "Chivalry' re-
presented higher and better state
of civilization than the present.
The entertainment showed that
earnest work had been done and
Prof. Stinson deserves a great deal
of credit for the excellency attained
by the school during the past year.
He came late and labored under
great disadvantages, but he can
certainly feel encouraged oveK3the
present outlook. Another pleasige
feature of the entertainment, that
deserves special mention, was the
Violin playing by Miss Maggie
Newly. The audience was favored,
by her, with several beautiful
selections.
Rev. J. D. McAllister and J. M.
Gates attended the Southern Meth

time was reported.
