the City Graded School were signal
success. They were begun last Sum
day morning with sermon by Rev.
J. c. Park. pastor Of the Methodist
church at Greenwood, and closed with
a recital by the music class on Tues
day morning.
The First Baptist church was thor
oughly packed when the Rev. Mr..
Park rose to deliver his sermon Sun
day at Ii d. m. He chose as bis text
Rev. 4th Chapter and 7th verse;
'And the first beast was like lion,
and the second beast was like a calf,
and the third beast had a. face like a
man and the fourth beast was like a
flying eagle" The able and eloquent
divine took the position that the text
showed the four-fold nature of Christ.
He said the Saviour was strong and
powerful like lion; that he was like
the calf or OK, a burden bearer: that
the third clause in the text showed
hat Christ was q man-that he had
suffered with man and had gotten un-
der man that he might lift him up.
AS to the last clause in the text the
preacher said that the Savior was like
an eagle. he scared above and was
above and beyond all earthly things.
That He was the means, and the only
means by which man could be lifted
to higher ideals and out of this vale
of sorrow into the beattitudeS of the
great beyond. The sermon was high
ly enjoyed by all.
For the convenience Of the public
the exercises were held at the opera
house. The pupils were thoroughly
drilled and reflected much credit upon
Professor WOodard and his corps of
assistants Every child seemed TO be
enthuSed over the part assigned him
and anxious to aid in every way the
successful cOnSummation OF an excel
lent program. According TO instruc-
tionS, the pupils assembled at the school
building on Monday morning and
marched i'm body to the opera house.
1t was an inspiring sight indeed, as
they came with rhythmic steps up
Main street aud walked into the opera
house. Each one bore the air of one

Every feature Of the program was
appropriately and faultleSSly rendered.
The Hon. w. S. Hill was introduced
by Hon. w. S. p. DOty. Mr. Hills
address dealt largely with the South,
and the political and economic prob
lens that have confronted her since
the war and he showed how that they
had been wisely solved and the many
obstacles removed from her path Of
progress by devotion to duty and
the adherence Of the people to stand
ards and ideals that gave this section
such prominent place in the councils
of the nation prior to the war. He
paid a splendid tribute to Lamar,
George and Walthall, and said the day
was near at hand when the South
would again come into possession Of
her own and occupy the chief place in
the national council chamber.
Diplomas were presented 10 the fol-
lowing graduates by Hon. w. G. Nc
Lean, a member of the board of trus-
tees: Misses Evelyn Moore and Mary
Moody and Mr.. Eugene Reynolds.
1t has been long while since such
an audience assembled in Grenada as
was at the opera house on Monday
night to witness the annual concert.
Besides the three hundred and odd
school children, there was perhaps five
hundren adults that crowded them
selves into very small space and en-
dured the intense heat all because of
their interest in the public school and
their love for their little folks.
At 8:l5 O'Clock the curtain rolled
upwards and the anxious audience
was greeted by a song, Roses" by
the primary grade, then followed the
remainder of the program which was:
