CLOSING EXERCISES
At GRADED SCHOOL
Address Delivered by Or. P. II.
Sauders. Of Oxford.

The exercises at the close of the Pub,
lie School during the first two nights OF
this week were largely attended and
appreciated by our people. The excr-
cises were successful from start to
nnish.
On Monday morning the children OF
the primary department gave their en-
tertainmcnt. The first thing on the
program was a Visit From Mother
Goose and Her Family" In this play
the children performed their parts well.
After this was a song by the children of
the second grade. The half hour of
songs and recitations by the smnl chill
dren was enjoyed by all and showed
that these children had been well
trained.
On Monday night tho main feature of
the evening was the operatta Princess
snow-white." All OF the pupils in this
play performed their parts well. The
drill OF the "Bluc and the Grey" was
well executed. Then the exercises
were closed with drill by the larger
girls.
Tuesday night was the graduating ex-
ercises, The school auditorium was
tastefully decorated In yellow and
white, the class colors, and upon the
rostrum were seated the speakers of the |
evening, the city officials and members
OF the school board
The graduating class consisted of six

RAISING FUNDS
FOR DESTITUTE
Greenwood viii Make a Contribution
to YazOO City Sufferers.
OTHER TOWNS ARE GENEROUS.
Unfortunate City Has the Sympathy
of All In Its Recent Awful
Calamity.
OTHER TOWNS ARE GENEROUS.

The committee in charge of the
raising of funds for the Yazoo City
fre sufferers announces that Green
woods contribution has already
passed the S400 mark, and it is
probable that it will aggregate more
than $500 before the remittance is
made to-day.
Word comes from Yazoo City
that the situation is yet far from
being relieved. About twelve thous-
and dollars has been received by
the Relief Committee. In addition
to this the city of Memphis has
forwarded about $4,000; Vicksburg
Meridian and other cities are rails
ing subscriptions and it is probable
that the fund will reach $25,000
before the end of the week.
The following from the Yazoo
Sentinel of Thursday will be of in
terest:
1t was with reluctance that this proud |
city, first resolved to carry alone it's
burden of sorrow, finally yielded to the
call of necessity and decided to accept
the numerous proffers of outside aid.

the situation and more and more is it
made apparent that every dollar re-
ccivcd from outside sources can be used
to advantage in alleviating the dire
distress which becomes more and more
marked as the real conditions are made
known to the Committee of Fifteen.

OUTLOOK FOR PEACE.

Following upon the heels of the Arbi-
tration meeting at Washington last week
comes the news from the Far East that it
looks more promising for peace. Let us
hope 80. The civilization of this age
ought to be capable of settling such diff
ferences as exist between Russia and ia
pan in better way than by killing each
other.
Unfortunately Great Britain, the great
est power in the world, except the United
States, when the opportunity was pre-
scented to set a precedent for arbitration
chose rather to make war upon the Beers
than to adjust differences by honorable
concessions. The two English speaking
nations, leaders in progress and in civil
cation. ought to lead in the efforts to
put an end forever TO war;
The invention of modern wholesale ma
chimes that produce death, like the Cat
ling gun and other death-dealing instru-
ments, really make for peace. DR.. Cat
ling always contended that by making
war so terrible he was making war less
and less probable.

A MORNING TONIC.
(Dr. Alexander Maclaren.)

/ begin nv days work some mornings
perhaps wearied, perhaps annoyed by the
multiplicity of trifies which seem too
small to bring great principles to bear
upon them. But do you not think there
would be strange change wrought IN the
petty trifies which all our lives, of what
ever texture they are. must largely be
composed Of if we began each day and
task with that old prayer: Rise Lord,
and let thine enemies be scattered?" Do
YOU not think there would come a quiet
in our hearts and victorious peace to
which we are too much strangers? Ii we
carried the assurance that there is One
who fights for us into the trif1es as well
as into the sore struggles OF our lives,
we should have peace and victory. Most
of us will not have many large occasions
of trial and conflict in our career; and
if Gods fighting for us is not actual in
regard to the small annoyances of the
home and daily life. know not for what
it is available. There are more deaths
in skirmishes than in the pitched field of
great battle. More Christian people
lose their hold Of God, their sense of His
presence, and are beaten accordingly by
reason of the little enemies which come
down on them like a cloud of gnats on
summers evening, than are defeated by
the shock of great assault or great
temptation, which call out their strength
and sends them to their knees to ask for
help from God!
