VANCLEAyE ACADEMY ENTERTAINMENT
Editor Democrat-Star.

Editor Democrat-Star.
The entertainment given by the students of
Vancleaye Academy at the close of school
was the most enjoyable fair we have attended
for years. The school-house was crowded,
and a great many had to remain on the out
side.
Each of the children did so well that We
hardly know where to bestnw the most praise,
but we rather think that Master James Martin
with his bride, little Mss Daisy Ram say, won
the applause of the evening.
Master Phil Davis in his recitation, "a Mig
ger to his Dog" was understood and appre.
ciated by all.
The closing dialogue, "Never Mind The
Whar and De Wharfo," brought down the
house. Just to look at the faces of "Uncle
Scip," "Dina" and "Wash," was sufficient Ia
make the most sober minded lose his serious
ness.
The Hoop Drill was beautiful, and each one
from the largest Town to the smallest showed
perfect training.
"The Doctor" Master Houston Martin, and
the "Litile Mother" Miss Bertha Ramsay,
deserves praise in the acting of their parts.
"The Ten Little Niggers' were perfect carl
c%atures.
All pronounced the school exhibition Il per
feet success in every respect.

Editorof Dcniocrat.star
One year agsI wrote ypu concerning the
colored teachers of this county. How poor
and careless they we're in their own mental
development. Ny letter, the veacbers' insti-
tute and a progressive superintendent has
changed all. AT the examination Just closed
eight or nine applicants succeeded IN securing
certificates. Two, Mrs. G. :. Farley and
Miss Amelia G. Claude received first.class
LIST grade licenses. These young women,
to my certain know ledge, have never been in
a college, or any high school. The common
schools OF Jackson county are all they have
ever attended. They deserve much credit,
and should feel proud of their attainments.
Let others do likewise, aud every teacher
should study TO improve themselves intellect
ually. and morally. Let them magnify their
positions.

for q. S.rSenator and Harrison county
should instruct for another. which
now seems likely. Our Senator would
also be IN the same mudd!e. If this
MISTER has not already been discussed

mittee require the Floater to divide
his vote INTO halves, and uur Senator
divide his vote INTO thirds and our
half and third respectively must be
east as we. direct.
Extending TO you and to all my
