Junior Order Present Flag and Bible
to Bona Vista School.


Bona Vista school at Bear Pond by
Gold Leaf Council, No. 116, Junior
Order United American Mechanics,
Tuesday afternoon were of very
interesting nature.
Prof. Charles E. Brewer of Wake
Forest presented the flag and spokeat
length ON the principles for which he
Junior Order stands, and no one
who heard him could fail to have
better understanding and a higher
appreciation ofthe order. Prof Brew
er's closing remarks in analyzing the
flag, taking each part singly-the
red and white stripes, the blue field,
the stars-and telling what it repre-
sented was one OF the finest things
we have ever heard. Prof Brewer is
strong man and a capital speaker
and his effort Tuesday was worthy
of the man and the occasion. He was
introduced by Thad R. Manning.
The Star Spangled Banner was
then sung by the school and Mr.. j.
c. Kittrell accepted the flag in a
speech that did him proud.
Song, the Red, White and Blue fol-
lowed and Rev. j. T. B. Hoover pre-
sented the Bible Talking about u
subject with which he was conversant
and affording opportunity for anec-
dOte and illustration Mr.. Hoover sur
passed himself on this occasion.
Rev. G. w. Holmes accepted the
Bible on behalf of the school in one
OF the most pointed and appropriate
talks that was made although he
said he had no speech to make and
had not understood that he would
be expected to do anything more
than formally accept the gift from
the Juniors as he was at home and
the people had the opportunity of
hearing him any time.
The speeches were OF a high order
and the exercises throughout were
very interesting and enjoyable
There was a large crowd present
the spacious auditorium of the school
building being full while many were
on the outside
Praise God from Whom All Bless
ings Flow was played by the orches-
ira and the exercises concluding with
the song, America, after which the
school and the Junior Order were in
vited to group themselves in the rear
of the building for Mr.. e. E. Pope to
take picture of them.
The flag was then hoisted and the
exercises were at an end.
The committee of arrangements OF
which Mr.. w. T. Written was chair
man did their work we'll and to them
much is due for the very successful
and pleasing manner in which every.
thing passed Off.
