The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1901-05-21

we met Miss Sue Sublettc and Mrs.
A. Bourne, of Lexington, KY, and
Mrs. Helen Moses, of Indianapolis,
who had been to Hazel Green on
business connected with the Hazel
Green Academy. We did not learn
what the c. w. b. M. will do. In
the afternoon we went to Athol,
and there, through the courtesy of
Mr.. Kratzer, in charge of the pay
car, we rode to jackson, arriving
at Z o'clock. We always stop at
the Arlington and are cordially re-
ceived by Judge Hagins and wife.
This was Society night at the
hotel. Twenty couple responded
to the appeals of a string band.
We were not invited to take part.
We saw the whirl of white and
pink and blue and red, and enjoy
ed the sights and sounds. Our
sleep was not interrupted as the
merry go round continued.
On Saturday morning we met
Mr.. John d. Streng. whom wc had
not seen for about twenty-six
years, when he was miller above
Hazel Green, and the writer was a
mill boy. He had been q resident
of Breathit county before locating
at Hazel Green. This was during
the reign of feuds in Breathitt.
Circumstances were such that he
contemplated a return to his native
county. His wife fearing that he
might become involved in the feud
objected, especially if he contin-
ued to drink whiskey. He. then
and there promised to drink no
more whiskey. They returned to
Breathitt. He informed the writer
that his promise had been kept.
We wish that all men would part
company with the accursed stuff.
If so, this old world of ours would
enter upon a new era of happiness
and prosperity and thousands of
men would be saved annually from
drunkard's graves and hell.
THE ACADEMY.
We went to the academy. Prof.
Dinwiddie kindly showed us the
sights which we had not previous
lv seen, and written in our Facts
and Observations. The Manual
Training Department is an import
ant one in the school. There is
well equipped carpenters depart
ment, including ten lathes and
forge and drill. We were shown
samples in match boxes, indian
clubs, book-racks, tables, stands,
bookcases, ETC., all the work of the
boys.
In the Sewing Department the
girls are instructed in drawing,
designing and dress-maKing, There
are four machines in this room.
We were shown through the kit
chen where the girls receive regu-
lar instructions. (This kitchen is
separate from the regular kitchen,
where cooking is done for the oc
cupants of the dormitory.)
There are six members of the
Senior Glass, and once each week
meal is prepared for invited guests.
One girl will buy what is to be
used, and prepare the food, anoth-
DIR does the cooking, another SUI
perintends the table, ETC., and thus
the work is done in courses from
week to week. We were not there
on company day. If we are invit-
ed to partake of such meal, the
announcement will be made as a
Fact d Observation. AS part of
the Culinary Department is a lab
oratory supplied with acids, spi-
ces. extracts, measures, etc., etc.
Chemical effects and combinations
are studied, as they apply to cook
ing.
Each department is under an in
structor, well qualified, we sup
pose, for the work assigned.
These comments are made be-
cause the ADVOCATE PUB. Co. are
friends and advocates of education
and religion and what else is for
the good of man. We did not ask
for advertisement or lob work.
