Closing of the County Schools.


Last Thursday was an ideal day
for the commencement exercise:
of the county schools, and one oi
the largest crowds that ever attend
ed similar exercises in this county
was present at Hermanville on this
occasion. Conservative estimates
place the number of visitors at from
1000 to 1900. In spite Of this fact,
Hermanville was equal to the occa-
sion in amply supplying the needs
of hungry people.
Another feature of the day was
the universally good behavior. For
the past few years there have been
considerable cause for complaint
along this line. In fact. the coun-
ty superintendent had threatened
to abolish the commencement exer-
cises, so important though it IS tc
the graded system.
There were twenty-seven grad.
yates, besides one, Iona limerick,
from the Hermanville High School.
They are as follows
Matte Isabelle Anderson, Mary
Alice Anderson, Hickory Ridge
Marie Louise Armitage. Reganton;
Myrtle Elizabeth Boren, Sallie Bo-
ren, Glenwood Chester Beacham,
McMurchy Addie Clark, Beech
Grove; Lucie Cark, Martin; Aaron
Curtiss, Ross; Matte Davenport,
Pattona; Katharyn Drexler, Rocky
Springs; Carrie Fife, Beech Grove;
Orah Anne Foster, Hermanville;
Ettie May Goodrum, High Hill
Agnes Harmon, Taylor; Nonnie
Harrel, Tillman; James Otis Jones,
Annie Knight, Ross; Made Helen
Luster, Reganton; Mollie McCaa,
Oak Ridge; Claude Duvall Noble,
Sulphur Springs; Josie Eunola Mes
NTH, Brandywine; Estelle Regan,
Rocky Springs; Mona Belle Rush,
Thomas Jefferson Segrest, Brandy
wine; Pearl Lee Taylor, Trixie
lola Wells, Taylor.
The medals and flag were award
ed as follows
First scholarship medal, Myrtle
Satterfeld scholarship medal,
Pearl L. Taylor.
Bernheimer mathematics medal,
Josie E. Nesinith.
Taylor attendance medal, Jeffries-
vile school.
Taylor Flag, Taylor's school.
The honor roll. those making an
average of 90 and above, is as fol-
lows
Myrtle Boren, Sallie Boren, Ad-
die Clark, Ettie Goodrum, Nonnie
Harrell, Josie Nesmith, Mona Rush,
Thos. Segrest, Pearl Taylor, Trixie
Wells.
The address by Mrs. Hoskins of
the Female College was exception
ally good. This is the first time
that a lady has delivered the an
nual address, and this fact lent
special interest to this feature OF
the program. All who were able
to hear her we'll speak very highly
of her talk.
Supt. Russell made special plea
for the pavilion, and it seemed that
his hearers were in accord with
his views.
The debate, Resolved, That il
is Necessary and Practicable tc
Have Consolidated Schools and
Free Transportation for Children
In Rural Districts was very much
enjoyed. 1t was participated in by
the following: Affirmative, Carrie
Fife, Lucie Clark Negative, Non
ME Harrell, Orah Foster. The
Judges decided in favor of the neg
ative.
One OF the remarkable things
connected with the years work
and one that was specially referred
to by the superintendent, was the
fact that there were but lve boy
among the twenty-seven graduates
This is conclusive evidence that the
boys are being taken from school t
help in the farm work.
Startling Evidence.

School Entertainment

On Friday night, Feb. 18th, at the
city hall, there will be given an eter-
tainment by the High School girls.
The main features of the entertain
ment will be music and oratory.
The purpose is to secure funds to
continue the work of beautifying the
walls of the central school building.
About this time last year similar af-
fair was given, and with the proceeds
the walls of three rooms have been
painted and one papered, besides
other improvements.
There has been added to the High
School course the department of ora
tory, and this entertainment will be
an exhibition of what is being done
along this line. This will be the most
interesting and attractive entertain
ment ever given by the High School.

about the only good found for
him is to pay the bills and nail on
loose pickets. On most all other
occasions he is Il nuisance around
the house.
Now and then wise man is
born, and he is usually a success
as a married man. To avoid most
of the sorrows of his kind, he will
on the first of the month give his
wife a sum sufficient to meet her
needs and 60 on his way rejoicing
the rest of the month. But he is
a rare specimen. The average
man reasons that because a nickel
will 60 long way when it comes
to buying liver, a little more
ought to buy the other things
necessary to family peace and
comfort. But it won't. Not
in this world, nor in the world to
come. Amenl

An Optimistic Editor.

A Missouri editor makes the follow
ing statement: "We have dropped a
number of papers from our exchange
list because the aforesaid papers are
bilious. A newspaper can no more af-
ford to associate with sour, snarling,
fretting envious newspaper than to
keep company with that kind of
man. We can't afford to read pes
simistic sheet that is forever out of
harmony with everything. The editor
wants to have faith in God and man
as long as he lives; wants to keep
hopeful and cheerful. Hence he DOM
care to borrow any blue or rub up
against any chronic old sore headed
grumbler. Give US the paper that
sweetens and brightens life, the paper
that arches the bow to hope above us
and cheers US along the way. Leave
the croaking old doleful sound to
those who live in the graveyard and
relish grunts and growls and groans;
to those who fatten on suspicion, dis
cord, nasty insinuations and dirty in
nuendoes. We don't care to read
such sheets"
We believe in sunshine and glad
ness, so to our thinking the above
editor is level-headed on this question.

A LAY SERMON.
BY HAMILTON HAMILTON.

| have chosen to talk to you
this evening, beloved, on the sor-
rows of a married man. Surely
if man was made to mourn, mar
ried man was made to weep. His
code of life, his coat of arms, is
"get." The first thing he hears
in the morning is get up, and
it is get this and get that all the
live long day, and in the evening,
when he comes home with a pretty
fair imitation of Markham's man
with the hoe hump, if he has for
gotten to get anything on his list
he is told to get out. Get, get,
get, is his breakfast, dinner and
supper, and his couch and pillow
by night. So universal is this
anthem, dirge or hymn (hymn |
guess) that | known a man who
runs his hand in his pocket every
time his wife calls his name.
Force of habit.
l am not trying to defend mar
ried man. Two-thirds of his
troubles are of his own making.
In the very first place he was told
not to do it. But he did. He
did more. He took his sweetheart
by the hand one balmy evening
and leading her forth into the soft
moonlight told her a great many
things he would do for her if she
would leave her happy home for
him. He told her that her every
want should be his pleasure.
That she should have horses and
carriages and fine raiment; that
he would devote his life to sup
plying her smallest wants, and all
that kind of moonshine. OF course
he knew he was only an actor on
a wooden stage, and all the seem
cry shown was of his own paint
ing, but how was she to know?
She thought he really would die
for her, and she is giving him the
chance. His promises were all
made in one note, but she is col
lecting them on installments. To
the uninitiated, be careful what
you promise when you hold your
sweetheart's hands. Woman is
-
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1904-02-13

quick to forgive, but slow to for
get.
Another trouble with married
man is he deals stingily with his
family. He will not understand
why, when he has paid for the
weekly wash. he has not wiped
out the entire family need for the
next ten days, nor will he under
stand that his wife ever needs
over very small piece of money.
He stays confused by the term pin
money. He thinks that means
nickels and half dimes. And he
won't be informed. Another
thing: a married man can easily
remember how long he has worn
a hat, but his wife's hat always
looks new to him. He can tell
when q button tears loose on his
clothes, or a section gives way,
but he cannot understand that
there is such thing as darning
Willie's pants for the last time ;
he can tell when his own linen
bursts loose or frazzles, but he
cannot understand why Susie's
linen should FRAGILE at both ends
and rip in the middle, and new
rags become necessity. He
knows, too, that he likes a good
cigar. and must smoke four a
day, but he cannot understand
why the rest of the family want
chewing gum and taffy.
The SORROWS of a married man
have reached their climax when
he essays to do the second fiddle
part at his wife's pink tea. After
digging up the necessary "spon-
dulix" to enable his wife to entice
the greatest amount of hilarity
from her guests, he dresses as one
waiting for the executioner and
bides the fatal hour. When the
guests have arrived, he watches
for his opportunity, and when no
one is looking sneaks into the
parlor and sits down in corner,
and feels about as large rs a
dimes worth of radium at 81 .000.-
600 a pound. If he attempts to
move he steps on something alive
and goes back and sits down.
Next days he pays the bills and
takes a breath. Most married
men are separate institution
from the rest of the family, and

1T WORKED WELL IN WACO.

Democrats in Waco held a pri
mary election Tuesday, the first
under the Terrell election law. II
the law works as WE'LL in county
primaries as it did in this instance
people will fall in love with it.
Il never saw an election as clean,
as orderly, as honest as this,
was the comment heard on all
hands from the representative,
law-abiding element. But one
old hummer, who had been a
power in past days, when he could
collar a voter, march him to the
polls and see that he voted right
was heard to remark as he stood
at the "dead line," a good hum
dred feet from the voting place:
"This is a derned fraud. What's
this country coming too, anyway?
Men don't seem to keer any more
for their rights or have spunk to
demand .'em." This comment was
the highest praise of the new law.
And yet, and yet-there was talk
of buying and selling of votes, of
combines" and the like, but that
isn't chargeable to the law-Waco
Tribune.
The Tribune need not expect
perfection in the election law, for
a law cannot be framed to deter
men from seeking to buy and sell
votes. But this fact cannot be
blamed to the Terrell election

THE HERALD never could see
why such fuss should be kicked
up over taking a few trifline
negroes out of the country. We
would be infinitely better off if
several hundreds of the lazy
loafers could be induced to go to
Africa or somewhere else. OF
the Industrious, law-abiding ones
we have no complaint to make.

Music, games, etc., filed out the

A big crowd was present.

Card of Thanks.

Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Fore request
the Herald to express for them their
sincere thanks for the untiring efforts
and great sympathy of friends and
neighbors, during the sickness and
death of their darling baby girl. And
it is their wish that they may one and
all be spared such great sorrow. Mr..
Fore says no one fully appreciates the
sympathy and help of friends and
neighbors until they go through some
great trial, such as they have just passed
through.
