HELD INSTITUTE AT PRESTON.
The Teachers of Webster County In
Session.

Preston, Ora. June t2.-The annual
session of Webster County teachers as
sembled at Preston June 3rd with
Prof. A. f. Archer, of Lake City, Fla.
as conductor. By his courtesy and
gentlemanly manner, Prof Archer en-
deared himself to the teachers and
those who had the opportunity of hear
ing him.
It is the verdict of all the teachers
that he has the true conception of the
duties of conductor.
The daily routine of work was inter
spersed with music, with Miss Annie
Lee Bell as organist The teachers
feel grateful to her for her kind assist
ance. May she be the recipient of the
sunshine which she carries with her.
On Tuesday night, the good people
of Preston entertained the teachers at
Lawn Party on the court house square,
the constancy of the man in the moon,
which shone beautifully, giving in
SEPARATION to each Romeo in discussing
subjects (not pedagogical with a
Juliet.
To Misses Ella Moore and Ella Bell
especial credit Is given for their efforts
to make this occasion successful.
They succeeded, and 1t is the opinion
of all the teachers that 'the1r good
looks are excelled Only by their good
Deeds" May their lives be as refresh
ing as the cake and Ice cream which
they served.
Wednesday night at the Baptist
Church, we were delightfully."- enter
tanned by Prof. Archer's lecture on
the PHILOSOPHY of Life, or the Storms
and Sunshine of Life, It grinned
like basket of possum heads from be-
ginning to ending with anecdotes,
which were heartily appreciated.
The teachers, resident and visiting,
entertained the people of Preston with
an extemporaneous entertainment at
the school house Thursday night.
The orations of Messrs. Archer,
Spivey, Slappey and the recitations OF
Misses Harris, Kidd and Stapleton
were models of excellence. Tears oil
laughter streamed from the eyes of all
at the rendition of the cold school
debate by Hollis Kenyon,
The entertainment was enjoyed by
all; people were sorry they could not
laugh more. Beautiful music was fur,
nished by Miss Bell. Messrs. Bell and
Sapp.
The last entertainment was given on
Friday night at the hospitable home OF
Mr.. and r. S. Bell. It was enjoyed
| by quite crowd of young people.
[ know that voice sentiment COM
mon to all the teachers when I say
that the institute was one of the moss
successful ever attended. To Com
missioner Stevens, Prof. Archer, the
good people of Preston, the county
board of education ana all, in the
name of the teachers, thank you fol
the hospitality which we have received
at your hands.

TWO WORLDS AND THEIR

BY ETHEL N. CoLsoN.

The trolley car which had been dashing along toward Chicago stopped suddenly held upon a suburban street corner by the inevitable coal wagon with a ten dcncy to break down. Franklin Atherton gazed idly at the earnest group of Salva- ton Army workers on the other side Of the street. Suddenly in r1oneFtary ces- sation of the ponderous drum-beats clear, sweet, feminine voice faltered out softly:
 Deep in the quiet grave"
 The rest of the words were surprising Salvation Army adaptations of the most characteristic type. But Franklin Ather- ton never heard them With bound he girl whom he would have asked to be- come his wife long ago but that he feared to face poverty with her. He had not seen her for nearly two years.
 Margaret! How came you with these peopleT'
 The girl looked at him graveiy.
