County Graduates.

Graduating exercises were held in
Dist. 1872 Friday evening, May 18th.
A large crowd gathered early in the
evening to listen to an interesting
program consisting of music, recita-
lions and essays given by the class of
1901. The class was composed of
Ethel Post, Clarence Norton and
Glenn Brodie. These three persons
formed into class early in the fall
and resolved to win in the spring ex-
animation; this meant a great sacri>
fee to these young people, laying
aside all of the winters amusements,
and strictly adhering to the words of
their teacher and their motto:
Wiz or Fail. The frat one of the
class that greeted the audience was
Miss Ethel Post in well gotten up
essay on, Looking Backward Step.
ping Forward" This alone gave
evidence to attain that ideal.
Mics Glenn Brcdie's essay on 1.-The
Mingled Threads of Life" WAS full of
tenderness and sweetness. This life
was compared to a siiken cloth-a
thread of which is woven each day.
These threads consisting of two colors
black and white, which are sunshine
and shadows She indeed made every
one preaent feel that great care
should be taken In the way a word
was spoken.
After the hearing Of the essay g
Supt. Hennessy presented the diplo-
mas in a very instructive and inter-
esting speech.
The patrons of District 102 and
vicinity are high IN their praise Of the
way in which Supt. Heunessy held
these exercises, as it gives every
school boy and girl encouragement by
seeing their schoolmates graduate
and that an education is worth striv-
ing for. RAJAB

nation Of the steamship company. which
will combine the Atlantic Transport. the Leyland

been consummated. and that the papers will
be signed soon after the arrival of President B.

ocean on his way to meet Mr.. Morgan for that
purpose.
big underwriting syndicate is forming to
guarantee the execution of the financial plan.
A report in financial circles was that there would
be given for the Atlantic Transport stock $500
in cash and $500 in par Of the new stock. This
not confirmed. but it stated positively
that the deal would provide for an exchange in
part stock and part cash. 1t is stated that the
new company Will have among it's stockholders
the big railroad syndicate interests.
Contracts exist between the companies to be-
come constituent parts of this combination and
every railroad running TO Atlantic Coast and
Gulf ports. These contracts il is said. control
the tonnage brought TO the seaboard for export
With such position, the combination
would be able to maintain rates or kill off any
competitor who would refuse TO enter into the

already have secured, a financial interest in this
combination The Goulds, Hartman, Kuhn
