Washington S Birthday at Schools

The anniversary was Saturday
last. The date was anticipated by
one day and celebrated on Friday
the 21st at the Public Schools in
all departments, and that to the
Joy of every youthful heart. The
child soul responds readily to the
impulses. That of the boy does
particularly. His nature is so SEN
sitive to these electric waves of pa
triotism prevalent at certain sea-
sons that he becomes unconsciously
a part of the days celebration.
What an indispensable adjunct is
young America on an occasion like
''Washington's birthday" Yet,
does he exactly understand ust
why we love the immortal George?
No. To-w1t: "Teacher. Johnny
Jones, why do we love Washing
ton?' Johnny, cause there amt no
school on his birthday, ma'am. "
Here we have the patriotic impulse,
but alas for the exact reason.
AS a result the youngster must
be informed upon such high and
noble themes as George, The
Hatchet, The Unfortunate Cherry
Tree, and Trenton, Valley Forge,
Yorktown, etc. A noble effort in
this direction was made on the part
of our teachers on the day men
toned. The pupils entered heartily
into the celebration and as result
the occasion was a success. A
goodly number of visitors was pres
emit, such, we dare say, as has not
been seen here in many a day.
At ten o'clock these interested
friends were invited to the high
grammar hall, Miss Wingo princl-
pal, Misses Merrymann and Mckee,
assistants. Here they were enter
tanned by program as rendered
by the pupils of the sixth and sew
enth grades. 1t will suffice TO men
ton some of the features only:
Defamation, lode to Washington,
Master Willie Beckham; Washing
tons Fortunes" six little misses in
costume representing patience,
hope, justice, faith, courage, wis
dom; recitation, Kathleen Rey-
nolds; defamation, Master James
Crockett; flag drill, by number of
boys and gfrls-a feature especial
ly enjoyed. The primary hall, Miss
Josephine Tardiff, principal, Misses
DeBow and Bransford as assist
ants, comprising first, second and
third grades, entertained at IL
o'clock. Some of the numbers most
successfully given by these little
people were: A chain of events in
life OF Washington, eight little
boys and eight little girls; acrostlc-
George Washington" oy about fif
teen little first grade people; decla-
nation, Master Vivian Reynolds;
salute to Washington's picture, by
school; incidents IN life of Wash
ington, songs by the little people
appropriate to the occasion. Sou
venirs in the form of tiny hatchets
were given to the pupils.
At one o'clock the visitors were
invited into the first grammar hall,
Mr.. Garth, principal, Miss Bond
and Miss Beckham assistants.
Here the members of the fourth and
fifth grade rendered a program, be-
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1902-02-28

ing like the others, full of the
theme George Washington and
patriotism. 1t would be difficult tc
mention specialfeatures since every
number of the sixteen members on
program was, in some way, d spe-
cial feature. But it suffices to speak
of the little master Washington's
in costume. "To the picture OF
Washington" by i've boys; dia-
logue, fourth grade; solo by Misses
Katie Belle Darrah and Mary Kin
nard exceptionally good; song, a
true soldier, fourth and fifth grades.
If there were space but we see the
printer shake his head warning
ly-a all might have honorable mem
ton.
At two o'clock the company of
visitors repaired to the high school
hall, Mr.. Burkitt principal, Mrs.
Carter and Miss Mcclure, assist
ants. Here there was an excellent
violin solo, selection from Faust"
by Miss Dixon Sanding, member
of high school department and by
no means mediocre performer;
splendid reading by Mrs. Nellie
Hughes Mathis; part recitation by
several young ladies of the depart.
ment, also by young gentlemen of
this hall; reading "History" of the
flag, Miss Richards; reading, Mr.
Polk Church; selection from Mr..
Dooley, Mr. Grover Schliefer. These
were interpersed by appropriate
by Mr.. Burkitt.
After the program the visitors
we're conducted to points of inter
est in the building, among them
being the furnace room where the
1eating plant begins.
We suppose nowhere was the
lay more fifty celebrated than at
our public school, and though
George and his Ratchet are now an
I'D story to us who are older grown,
It's well to revamp it anew every
rear just for the children's sakes.

Circuit Court Clerk Killebrew, of
Weakley county, received notihca-
dion this week that Tharp, the
negro who killed Deputy Sheriff
Bomar in Henry county last year,
will be tried there in the circuit
court at the present term on a
change of venue. Tharp was tried
and convicted of murder in the first
degree in the circuit court of Henry
county week before last, but Judge

Early in his career as lawyer
William Mckinley was accustomed
to pass butchers shop on the way
to and from his office and for a long
time was puzzled by certain notice
which he saw there. In the morn
ing he would read, Good pork
sausages, 20 cents" On his return
in the evening he would sometimes
find those sausages still 20 cents a
a pound, but more often the notice
was changed and the sign read:
Fine pork sausage, IL Cor some
times 1O) cents. The matter, he
said, used to worry him. Sausages
we're not of so perishable nature
that they would not keep until the
next day and he could not under
stand it. So one evening he stop
ped at the shop, made some casual
remark and then inquired the price
of sausages. "Ten cents, said the
shop-keeper. But" replied Mr..
Mckinley, 'they were 20 cents this
morning. $50 they were, Mr.. Nc
Kinley,' replied the butcher; $50
they were. Then l had EN-, now
haven't. Sausages at 10 cents is
simply to get me a reputation for
cheapness Seer" The future Tres-
ident saw and was in the habit of
saving that great many reputa-
tons were wade i'll that way.

Memphis Commercial Appeal:
The Ohio Supreme Court has de-
cided that suicide clause in life
insurance policy is not valid. We
believe the courts opinion is alb
solutely just. A company should
examine every application closely
and reject it if there is any sign of
it being sought for fraudulent pur-
poses. But after a policy is made
out payment should be made, no
matter how the insured comes to
his death. Some companies issue
policies which state that they are
incontestible from date of issue.
This is the honest and the appli-
can't should seek protection in such
companies. Insurance companies
that are prone to go into the courts
and fight widows and orphans are
good institutions for the living to
let alone.

This levee, for which Representa-

SPOTSYLVANIA SENSATION.
THE CASE WAS GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
Money Was Stolen, But Nothing More Serious
Occurred.

The sensational stories, which appeared
in several papers. to the effect that a bor-
rihle crime had been committed IN Spot
sylvania county, were greatly eXagg' r
ated and some oi the statements are
without foundation. 1t is true that the
home OF MIR. Nelson d. Burruss, near
Thornsburg, in Spotsylvania county was
robbed of money during his absence, but
the story of assault is entirely untrue.
Sixty-three dollars in money was taken.
and the thieves will probably be arrested
i'm a short time. 4 $50 gold piece was
presented at store at Marlc aud
changed for white man, who IL sus-
pected of being connected with the rob
berry. and a $50 note has been changed
at n store at Goodloe's for colOred girl
who has worked for Mr. Burruss II II
believed that these two parties stole the
money, and the officers are investigating
the matter. Three weeks ago a lot OF
bacon was stolen from MIR Burruss, and
il is now believed that the same cOlored
girl committed that theft.
These facts were gathered by n repre-
sentative OF rHE FREE Lance at Spotsyl-
wanna court yesterday, who investigated
the affair Judge Waller had been ap'
pcalcd to 10 oiera reward for the alleged
perprirator OF the vile crime supposed To
have been committed, but when the facts
in the ease were brought To light, II was
deemed unnecessary. "a the law amply
provides for the ease rs 1t exists.
