SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
A Delightful Occasion at Pike
vile, This County.

DEAR ARGUs:-For number
of years, at different intervals, the
citizens of the town of Pikeville
have made every effort to estab~
Iish good school, but all their
efforts proving uneuccessful-but
they have now succeeded at last.
About two years ago Miss Lucy
Waters. talented and accom-
p'i.hed young lady of LsGrange,
N. c., while looking around for a
good opening for school, she
was attracted by the little town of
Pikeville, surrounded by it's fer
tile fsld and beautiful FORESTS,
and at once decided to make an
effort and began to teach in the
little district school building. In
a few months her success wss such
that it was 3 surprise to the en-
tire community.
So rapid was the growth Of the
school that soon the little building
was inadequate to accomodaJe the
students and had to be remodeled
and enlarged.
The most interesting and en-
joyable ocension that has ever
taken place in that town was the
commencement exercises of Miss
Waters school last Wednesday
and Thursday.
On Wednesday night at 8
o'clock large crowd assembled
in the school building and were
delightfully."- entertained until a
late hour with music declamations,
recitations and dialogues by the
little students. They al played
their respective parts exceedingly
we'll, showing in marked degree
that they had been carefully train
ed. Thursday morning dawned
bright and beautiful, and not
withstand'ng the busy season of
the year at an early hour the peo-
pie Of all classes and conditions of
life from all sections of the county
began to come, and soon there
was an emmence gathering.
About II o'clock the crowd as
sembled at the school building and
Hon. B. F. Aycock in fitting
words introduced Prof. Joseph
Kinsey, of Wilson, the orator of
the day, and for the space of one
hour the Professor held the
closest attention of the large au-
dience. His address was replete
with beautiful thoughts and whole~
some advice which made a good
and lasting impression on all
whose good fortune it was to
hear it.
After the address the crowd re-
paired to the school grounds
where they found, under the
beautiful spreading oaks a long
table heavy laden with rich and
tempting viands and after all had
eat to their entire satisfaction
there was plenty left.
A 3 o'clock the crowd gath
cred at the baseball grounds to
witness match game between
the Pikeville and Kenly teams.
After playing nine innings the
score stood 10 to II in favor of
the K My team.
At8 o'clock the crowd as
sembled again in the school,
building to witness the last of
the exercises, for the occasion.
The exercises consisted of songs,
dialogues and plays By the older
advanced students, and all ac-
Quilted themselves in an admir-
able and highly creditable man
ner. Taken altogether it was the
most brilliant and enjoyable oc-
casion of the kind it was ever
the pleasure of the writer to at
tend.
Pikeville is indeed proud OF
her school and 1ustlv 40.

It's Considered Serious.

London. June 1.-THE serious re-
verse which Lord Kitchener reports
Is the first accident of the kind that
has happened to the Australian con
tingent, and ii is supposed to be due
to neglect of proper picketing. Al
though il is offset by the defeat in
tiicted upon DeWet. the loss of the
guns is regarded as serious matter,
which will encourage the Beers to
continue the struggle. More or less
fanciful accounts are published on the
continent of alleged peace negotia-
tions but there Is nothing in them and
nothing has come of the interview
between Mrs. Botha and Mr.. Kruger
beyond revealing the fact that Mr.
Kruger will listen to no proposals IN
less they are accompanied with guar
antee of the independence of the re-
publicS.
