As well, remember he states that ten
days inter crossing the South Branch
he visited these caves. Now, from the
time mentioned, from the distance
from Peters Mountain and the dcscrip-
tlon OF the caves, believe they are In
Monroe county. They are about fifteen
miles from the base of Peters noun

There Is another rock In the form OF

comments on arbitration, Speaking OF
the pending treaty OF arbitration be-

When the world comes to be governed
by reason and peace there will be no
longer even pretext for tho vast military
establishments that are breaking the

burden on the toilcrs of tho world, will
drip back into the sseat army OF indus
try and turn their attention to the crea-
tive enterprises of peace. abandoning the
destructive work Of war,
Nor Is 1t alone war itself that Is costly
to the peoples OF the world. The armed
peace OF Europe is frightrul drain on
the resources OF every one of those ma

the large auditorium in the public

the graduating exercises of the class
of 81 On Monday night Judge N. II.
Dent, of the Supreme Bench, delivered
the baccalaureate sermon 10 the class.
He chose for his subject: Partnership
with God" The address was one of the
ablest that was delivered to gradu-
ating class in our town. He used 4
great many Scriptural quotations to
illustrate the great necessity of the
young as we'll as the old forming
partnership with God, and as their
senior partner. No business, or enter
prise could prosper without His aid
and blessing. The exercises closed at
the conclusion of the speech. The pro-
gramme for tonight was opened with
music by the Mandolin and Guitar
Club. The decorations about the hall
were beautiful. There were seated on
the stage the members of the Board
of Education, the entire corps of teach
eTs and number of the ministers Of
the Gospel. The class consists of eight
members. six ladies and two gentlemen,
and considered one of the best classes
sent out from our school. Each one
recited their part we'll and showed that
the diplomas that were given them were
worthily bestowed.
