1t always gives us pleasure to bear
Of the success of our graduates. The
clipping from the KNOXVILLE
Sentinel shows what efficient work
Prof. John N. Davis has been doing
at Bearden for the past year. SENT
mel: Superintendent d. P. Duggan
yesterday VISITED the public schools of
the twelfth district. To a reporter
for the Sentinel he paid the schools a
high compliment, stating that they
were among the best in the county,
with the exception of the schools in
the city. He states that the school at
Bearden, taught by Prof. John N Da-
Wis, 'o8, is one of the best conducted
schools he has ever seen in this coun
ty or any where else"
The school at Bearden closed on
Thursday,and Friday, April IL, ~.
A. R. Garrison, d. l.. Butler, w.
L. Wright and c. N. Magill visited
The closing entertainment of the pub

of Knoxville, last Friday.
The school has been successfully
conducted by Prof. ]. C. F. Herrell,
graduate of A. L. University al
Hartman. Beaver Ridge Valley IS
one of the finest farming sections of
Knox County and is an excellent

One thing which was of great pleas
ure during our stay in Knox County,
was big fishing party on Saturday.
There were twelve in the party and
the war talk grew so loud that the
fish all fled.
We are glad to hear OF the great sue
cess with which Mr.. Chas. Alexander
is meeting in his work with the Evan
gelist, M. B. Williams. They have
been working IN Illinois this winter
and have done great work in bring
ing souls to Christ by word and song
The Monmouth Gazette says: "Prof.
Alexander sang solo, God will take
care of you Mr.. Alexander is one
of the very best soloists who has ever
sung in Monmouth.
His voice is smooth and shows care
full training. He sings simply and hi
enumeration is distinct in every syl
liable. There is tender express
ivness in his voice that is in marked
contrast to the modern 'hifalutin' sing
ing of the day."
Again the Waukegan Daily Regis
ter says: "Chas. NJ Alexander is
Tennesseean. He says he has lovet
music ever since he knew anything
