Song--"Roll Your Hands"
The singing and marching by the
school was an interesting feature and
excellently done. Miss Minnie Hamil-
ton as accompanist at the organ did her
work we'll. The recltations though
numerous we're spiritodly and intelli-
gently spoken. Some of the small
er children scored for themselves
great successes. The guitar solos were
much enjoyed, also the banjo solos,
Although tho program was long it
would be unfair to criticise as all
did their level best and reflected credit
on their teachers, Mrs. S. Z. Rogers
and Miss Harris.
At the close of the program Major
Hill for tho directors thanked the
the school for their efforts and the
teachers for their faithful work, and
announced that spring term would COM

on the platform, presented each with
an apple and orange as recognition Of
good attendance and behavior. Sing
ing of America" closed the exercises,
The drama Ten Nights in Bar
Room" was presented Friday evening
as announced in the News of last week
and proved very creditable production
The parts were exceedingly we'll rend
cred and showed evidences of careful
training. w. S, Pryor as Joe Morgan
excelled all previous efforts, and Et
Pryor as Switched, the village ne'er
do-well, was very laughable. Cbas
Curtis, in the part of Mr. Romaine
played it with good appearance, and
Leonard Rogers as Simon Slade made I
very good innkeeper. Byron Bennett
as Willie Hammond, win Price as Har
vey Green, and Bob Campbell as Frank
Slade, made good presentations of th'
parts. Jennie Harris as Mrs. Slade
True Randle as Mrs. Morgan, Nint
Randle as Mary Morgan, and Hannal
Lofty as Mehitable Cartright, all hat
important roles in the success of tn,
play, and carried them out excellently
the work of Nina Randle being especi
ally good.
The presentation of the drama form
ed strong plea for temperance, and n
doubt good seed has beon sown.

Thomas II. Hill in behalf of the direct
ors of the school spoke regarding th
work of the school and the improve
ments of the year, and also called at
tention to the idea the play represented
