CLOSING SCHOOL EXERCISES.
Another Successful Year Closed for the iiat-
 tig PL1.iC Schools.

The Union church would not hold all the people who wished to attend the closing exercises of the Huttig public school on last Friday evening.
 The graduating class consisted of seven members of which num- Der Miss Lydia Bradford was the only one from the common school course t"e other six being from the commercial department. They were Miss Beatrice Morrison and Messrs. James Gibson, w. s. Rich ardson, E. A. Woolley, Wm P, Bryant and Robert M Baskin.
 The following program was rem derered and every number highly appreciated by the large audience. To make special mention in these columns would be a hard task as each graduate acquitted her or or himself with credit:

A. w, King Messrs w. A. Rider, F. w. Scott, A. E. Culbreath and J.U. Brown acted asjudges to awarda a fine gold medal given by Prof. J. J. Cox to the pupil rendering the best oration and by Miss Margie Newby to the music pupil who had made the most marked advancement. The first medal was awarded Edgar L. Adams, who is certainly entitled to much credit for the work done when it is known that he worked at the planer each day and took the bookkeeping course at nights and mastered it. The medal given by Miss Newby was awarded to Miss Bonnie Bershen.
 The address to the class by County Examiner J. F. Mckenzie was a strong one and if his advice is followed by the graduates they will make no serious mistakes in life but should each make his or her mark in whatever vocation they choose.
 Much credit is due to Prof. J. J. Cox and his able assistants, Misses Mamie Curl and Miggie Newby and Mrs. e. s. Watkins for the success of the exercises and also the suc- csssful term of school of which they marked the closing. There are few towns the size of Huttig which can boast of as good a school building or as an efficient corps of teachers.
