About $50 friends and patrons met at En-
terprise school, in Franklin district on april
Is, to witness the closing exercises of the
school for the year. This school has been
taught by Prof G. j. Shipley for the last
three years. The school house was very
tastefully and deliberately decorated with ever
green's and artificial flowers. Prof. Reason
ii. Barnes, of Enterprise. was present, and
interspersed the exercises Of the afternoon
and evening with instrumental music to the
enjoyment Of all.
The program, as a whole, was very com
plete and the scholars rendered their parts
with great accuracy, which reflected much
credit upon both the teacher and pupils.
After the exercises were concluded the
teacher made his annual report TO the trus-
tees, saying that since his stay at Enterprise
school one pupil Of his school had been
awarded a scholarship at the State Normal
School of Maryland: one had been awarded
scholarship to the Western Maryland Col
lege, Westminster, and seven pupils had been
prepared for the Tayorsville Academy, three
of whom will attend the academy during the
summer term. The report was highly APP
preciated. Then came a beautiful treat to
the pupils and friends. The exercises OF the
evening were closed by singing God be with
you till we NEE! again" by the school and
friends. Following is the program rendered;
