Last Friday Night.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
HICKORY, May 20.-Last night the
entertainment came off at the Wirker-
son school house. 1t was a perfect
success. The school building has a
seating capacity Of perhaps $50, but
every inch Of space was occupied and
some didn't get into the house. The
teacher Miss Clara Fleming. and
her pupils deserve great credit for the
selves, and, by the way, 1t Is not out
Of order to say that the patrons came
to her assistance In such way as to
make its success certain.
The stage was most elaborately and
tastefully decorated with native and
exotic flowers and evergreens together
with a number Of pictures Of our
greatest men, both in peace and war.
To this was added the national colors
Of red, white and blue and the reader
has q mental view Of the interior Of
the school building, as 1t presented It
self. o. -
The children-some very young
were dressed to suit the respective
parts they were to perform. And it's
a source Of great pleasure to know
that these children are those Of the la
boring yeomanry Of the country, and
not those who have been brought up
in ease and luxury In the towns.
The whole proceedings go to show
what can be done by a people who are
so determined as those Of this section
of Western York.
