Hon. Geo. 6. mathews.

The Hon. George Green Mathews
delivered his interesting lecture on
Brazil here, and in spite of the heat
which was as tropical as his theme
the house was partially filed. Mr..
Mathews has lived in Brazil for
twenty-three years, and speaks from
an intimate acquaintance with his
subject, and even in private CONVEX
satiOn becomes enthusiastic over the
splendid possibilities of a country of
which so little is known here.
Many years ago-in 1893, believe,
Mr.. Mathews represented Marion
county in the legislature, and. as
some of the old timers will remem-
Der, had a narrow escape from death
in the old hall of representatives.
That was the day when a great piece
of plastering suddenly detached it
self from the ceiling, directly over
the two seats occupied by the men,
bers from Marion, on the right of the
gangway, facing the rostrum. A
portion of the detached mass in its
descent struck Mr.. Mathews upon
his dOme-like head, and then flew
into thousand pieces, covering him
and his colleague with white show
er of disintegrated plaster. FOrtu-
nately, however, the blow was
slanting one, and both the startled
members from Marion escaped with
nothing more serious than a bad

Nay Day Festival.


Yesterday morning from nine-thirty
to ten-thirty O'Clock the children of
the primary department of the public
school held their closing exercises.
Quite large number of visitors were
present and the exercises were very
pretty and cleverly executed.
Miss Nellie Stevens and Miss Cora
Griffin are the teachers in this de-
partment and their efforts with the
children are being crowned with much
success. All are devoted to them,
and as one little girl expressed it,
they are sorry school is over, because
next year they can't be in Miss Ste
vens' and Miss Griffin's room.
GA May Day Festival'' was the
name of the pretty little cantata Civ
en- by these little boys and girls. The
story was quite a pretty one and was
well acted. First two lovely little
maidens entered and deplored the
fact that there were no flowers to be
had, as Jack Frost had recently killed
them all. They decided to call on
the fairies to procure flowers for
them. This they did. The fairy
queen, who was beautiful little Ava
Lee Edwards, accompanied by two
pages and the herald, Roscoe Mef-
fert, then appeared. The ideal little
Queen was crowned and seated ON
her throne and called to her flowers
to come and show themselves. At
her royal bidding the arbuters, butter
cups, violets, daisies and other spring
flowers came forth, singing songs of
praise and gladness. They were &C
companied by humble bees and but
terfiies, who buzzed and t1pped
lightly in and out among the flowers.
Next came the crowning of the
May Queen, whom they chose to be
lovely and dainty little Miss Martha
Miller. She was very attractively
arrayed and was crowned by Master
Tom Crawford with a wreath of white
flowers, while her subjects gathered
around her throne and sang beautiful
choruses to their beloved May queen.
After singing and dancing for few
minutes, six of their number, three
! bows and three girls, danced around
! the May pole, while the others sang
.. the song that closed this pretty festi-
| val.
/ Miss Jessilou Martin played the ac-
COMMITMENTS and Miss Erin Yonge
rendered piano solo.
The examination papers and quite
! a good deal of the work done by these
young scholars during the year was
displayed and was most excellent
! Some of them have made most ex-
c-llent progress. Quite number OF
! these children, among whom were
the two pretty little queens, received
! 100 in each of their examinations and
scarcely an one fell before the pass

and friends are very proud OF them
all and wish them happy holiday.
