The commencement exercises of
the Eighth Grade graduating class
of 1901, comprising eleven of our
bright and promising young ladies
and gentlemen, at the Fay Opera
last evening, were attended by a
large and interested audience, the
spacious hall being filled to the
doors, and the credita BILE manner in
which the graduates acquitted them
selves was an honor to their studi-
Gus industry and reflected great
credit alike upon their own ability
and upon the efficient work of their
instructors, under whose guidance
they have attained their present po-
sition in the scale of knowledge.
The class was composed of Lianda
Ella Beach, Michael Edward Bon
ner, Milton Carl Butler, Minnie NJ.
Eaton, Ida Minnie Hermanson,
Alice Mary Jones, Lillis +. King,
John F. St. Cyr, Florence Mabel
Sweeney, Albert F. Shipley and Ray
c. Turney, and it is our pleasure to
extend to each our congratulations
upon their successes, and trust they
may be enabled to continue their
intellectual progress, winning de-
served laurels at each successive
advancement.
| The Class History, as ably por-
traayed by John F. St. Cyr, is repro.
duced, as it gives short biograph-
ical sketch of the class members,
bringing all together in our insti-
tutions of learning, where they have
completed their first step up the
ladder of knowledge under able and
efficient instructors.
"The Choir Boy" by Albert Ship
ley, was rendered in a clear, melo-
dious voice, and was accorded de-
served applause.
The recitation of f"Father's Letter.
by Ray Turney, showed careful
preparation and native ability, while
the address of "Spartacus to the
Gladiators," by Michael Bonner,
| was delivered in a stirring manner
which did credit both to the author
and to the rising young man deliv-
ering it.
The Class Prophecy, by Alice
Jones was one of the most interest
ing numbers of the evening, and
stamped the young lady as stu
dent of the attributes of character
displayed by her classmates. In
able language the speaker portray
ed the prospective future of her
companions in roseate hues, and
should the pathway mapped for
each prove true we feel that none of
the class of 'O1 will have cause for
regret, as life of honor, energy and
activity never faileth of it's own re
ward.

SALE OF THE LAST SLAVE.
How Old Dave Gave His New Owner
the Slip and Went with the
Yankee Soldiers.

s'I think I was the last man in the
United States to sell negro said
Peter Tilton, leaning back in his chair
and putting comfortably at his pipe,
according to a Chicago exchange
at was this way: When the war
broke out | was living at Bolivar,
Mo. Things were not very comfort
able there after awhile. for both the
union and confederate sides We're
well represented, and no one knew
one day what might happen to him
next. / owned several slaves and
was suspected of having southern
sympathi l only wanted to be let
alone, but some people would not
have it that way. so 1 quietly re-
moved to Illinois, where l had rela-
tives and could live in peace.
after awhile things settled down
out there little, the unionists be-
ing in control, and in 1863 ! paid a
visit to my old home to look after
some business ma tiers. When | left
my slaves scattered: they were freed
by the emancipation proclamation,
and /, of course, had no further con-
troll of them. On my return l found
but one of them, Dave, an old fellow,
strong and hearty and with plenty
of sense. He had always been
favorite in the family. and although
he had been running at large for a
long time, was not very happy.
AT that time a story had gone
abroad to the effect that all men
loyal to the union would be paid for
