The Walhalla Alkahest Lyceum was
fortunate in securing for it's fourth at
traction on last Wednesday evening a
lecture by Hon; John Temple Graves, of
Georgia. He chose for his theme "The
Reign of the Demagogue,' and while he
made terrific arraignment of this poll
tical parasite, yet he improved the oppor-
tunity to deliver wise and philosophical
discourse on government, statesmanship
and patriotism. The audience was large
and representative one, many coming
from our sister towns. The speaker held
the closest attention of his hearers for an
hour and a half, and frequent applause
greeted his many fine passages His dis
course bristled with wise, pungent say
ings and was admirably prepared. There
is nothing of the wild and bombastic
declaimer about him, but for intense,
earnest thought, and well ordered
delivery, Col. Graves has few equals on
the platform

| gotten our friends. The school sent our
patroness, Mrs. Coleman, and Youths
Companion, a box. Both were delighted
with our remembering them. We give
part of Mr.. Upham's letter: 81 trust that
| the good work started and carried on by
your school may increase and that its in
| fluence may be felt In other school dis
triots in your county" Each child in
the school has worked so well that our
roll of honor is filled out. The children
are formed in committee to carry out the
plans of school. White Rock will be
found trying for Youths Companion
first honor flag. Our school is in charge
caulay. The geography classes are doing
well in map drawing. Our library is

We had ''Flower Day. last Friday. The
country schools should feel grateful to
Youths Companion for interest shown
tho schools of our county by it. We
appreciate the efforts made by the ladies
who are working in this county for the
Companion.
Mr.. w. X. Thompson, Master of the
State Grange, Ga Christian and cultured
gentleman,) while on a visit to Mr.. John
w. Shelor in January, visited our school
and made valuable talk to the children
and others present. He told Ills of the
Northern and Southern schools he had
visited and of his own school at Liberty
HILL. He was quite surprised when we
showed him our library and our hand
some pictures and flag given us by
Youths Companion. He said: "Thirteen
years ago L was here; l saw a poor school
building. If this public spirit still ex-
lists here until 1925, should see won
derful school that would do credit to any
town." Our clock we bought with to-
bacco tags; keeps fine time. Let other
schools join in this forward march to
improvement and push Occaee to the
front as county of vast in; portance in
the educational world. *M#.
