cess OF the day was wholly due the
untiring energy OF uncle George
Calhoun, superintendent, and the
committee-Mrs. Bette Garrison,
Emma Garrison, Otie Caldwell and
Miss Mollie Calhoun. There were
about twenty-five Rotations and a
song, "Will there be any stars in
my CROWN" by the children. All
did excellent speaking and everyone
was delighted. Rev. Holder read
the Bible lesson, prayed and made
an appropriate talk to the children,
telling them when he was boy; of
the advantages children now have
over the children of his day, and
how men and women have suffered
to bring the schools and churches
to what they now are. Misses Mol
lie Calhoun, Lizzie Cashon and
Lesla Cunningham and r. G. Dicky
sang two quartettes to the delight
of the hearers. Nothing went
wrong except some petty little
thieves stole Bud Williams box of
grub and dishes.
