COMMENCEMENT WEEK
Dallas College Closes the School
Year With Graduating Exercises
and Interesting Programs.

The commencement exercises of
Dallas College thus far have been the
most successful and interesting in the
history of the institution. Larger
crowds were in attendance and more
interest has been manifested by the
citizens OF Dallas than ever before.
The first number Of the commence
ment series was a lecture delivered al
the Evangelical church Thursday
evening, May 80, by Dr. Kimbat,
Dean Of the Kimball School Of Theol
ogy. The subject of his address was
''Christ Revealed in the Ethnic Rel
gions." This was one of the most
scholarly and interesting address, S
ever delivered from a Dallas plat
form.
On Friday night at the College
Chapel the Philadelphian Literary
Society gave it's fourth annual pro-
gram to large and delighted audi
ence. The program, with the exception
Of the musical numbers, was entirely
original. The productions delivered
showed careful preparation and there
was not a weak number on the pro-
gram. Immediately after the program
the members of the society with their
invited guests repaired to the Dallas
Hotel, where an excellent banquet was
partaken Of. A happy social hour was
spent around the table.
Saturday evening, the Utopian
Society entertained the public with a
highly interesting and amusing
entertainment. From all sides are
heard words Of praise for the excellent
manner in which the young ladies
delivered their program. The most
unique feature of the evening was
, Famous Women," in which some OF
J the worlds greatest women were rep
resented by fourteen young ladies,
The crown Of success was given TO the
'Oregon Pioneer Mother"
On Sunday morning DR.. G. A. Mock
delivered the baccalaureate sermon
The subject OF the address was ''Thert
is Nothing Hid butShall be Revealed.
The speaker asserted his belief in the
superiority of mind over matter. Ht
said that thus far the human race
' had only found the the things which
lie on the surface, but the deeper anC
> more intricate things were yet to b,
I fathomed.
. Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock tn

Associations was held at the colleg
q chapel. This meeting was ably con
Quoted by Professor Metzger. Th

A SHAME.

On Saturday last Mr. Alex Thompson
was married to Miss May Frazier. at
this place. The groom is all elderly man,
apparently S. or 90 years OF age, and
weighs about 200 pounds, while the
bride was very fragile and delicate
child, said to be 10 years OF age, and
looks even younger than that, as she is
SO small. We presume this was legal.
but it was a shame, and the strange part
of ii was that they had the consent of
the brides father, Mir. c. ID Frazier
Mansfield Enterprise.
1t was probably a case of rather be
an old mans darling than young mans
slave AS all the parties in interest
were willing and the marriage was in
compliance with all requirements. what
concern is it to others? Love is never
old but always pert and frisky

SQUIRTING AT A GNAT AND
SWALLOWING A RHI-
NOCEROS

The removing from the sidewalks as
nuisance the shoe shine stands was on
the order of squirting at gnat. The
sinners earned living from their shines
and hundreds of people had their shoes
shined daily by the sinners. As the law
requires the removal of nuisances froia
the sidewalks, perhaps no complaint
shall be urged except from those who
no longer can have their shoes shined
at their pleasure and publicly. However,
here is a query for solution by the head
of the administration If the shoe shine
stands be nuisance, are not the metal
boxes known as trash boxes, to be ruled
to be nuisances7 Some Of these boxes
have frazzled ends and edges and projec-
tons which are menaces to the dresses
of ladies when walking the sidewalks.
This may be styled the swallowing Of a
rhinoceros.

COTTON SEED FOR DEMON.
STRA1ION FARMS.

Mansfield Journal: Colonel Joe Wem-
pie, special agent of the National De-
partment of Agriculture, informed us
Wednesday that 200 demonstration
farms had been established iii this par
ish and that the government would be-
gin to issue cotton seed to the owners of
the farms next week. The seed will be
shipped to Shreveport in car load lots
and from that point shipped to the farm
ers by freight in small quantities. The
land to be devoted to cotton on most of
the farms has been plowed and put i'll
good condition. While the government
advocates early planting, the SEED will
not be planted until all danger of cold
weather has passed. Rapid cultivation
will he insisted upon.

Reach heavens peafsy gate
