CLOSING EXERCISES AT SARDIs.
Successful Term Ended Wuh an inter.
estiug Programme


The closing exercises Of the Sardis
school, seven miles north Of Dawson,
occurred Thursday. The occasion was
quite an enjoyable and successful one,
and the day was pleasantly spent by
the large crowd Of patrons and visitors
present. The programme consisted Of
examinations, recitatiOns and other in
teresting features, and was Creditabiy
rendered. In fact all the pupils, from
the oldest to the youngest, acquitted
themselves so we'll chat to give any one
special mention would be an injustice
to the others.
At II O'Clock recess was taken and
all repaired TO a long table erected
near the school building under the
sheltering limbs of beautiful oaks,
where the crowd partook of a bounti-
ful and elegant dinner consisting of all
the d&inties and delicacIes imaginable.
After dinner the exercises were re-
suned and continued until3 80 o'clock
These showed that the school had some
surprisingly we'll advanced and prom
Using pupils, and their rapid and eff
clent work in geometry. latin, algebra
and other advanced studies reflected
much credit upon them and proved
that they had been under the instruc-
ton Of careful and painstaking
teacher. The work of the little folks
was especially clever and interesting,
and the excellent manner in which
they acquitted themselves in their reel
tations, rapid calculations, spelling
and other studies surprised and capt.
waited all.
Professor Giles method of teaching
is modern and systematic, and his work
in the Sardis school has been entirely
satisfactory, and after the days exer-
cIses were concluded the patrons met
and asked him to accept the school for
another term.
The Sardi3 neighborhood is one of
the most thickly settled and progress
i've sections of Terrell county, and its
people are hospitable and clever. A
stranger visiting this pleasant com
munity is shown every courtesy and
attention possible and made to feel
that he is among friends.
