One OF the most significant fea-
lures Of the present political situa-
tion in louisville is the secret nature
of the plan OF campaign being wagsd
by the Democratic machine. Every
thing Is being done under cover and
not more than dozen men at the
most know what is going to happen.
Evidently there is to be no pretense
OF consulting the Democratic voters.

FINAL EXA MINATION.

The final examinations in the
school were held last week. A
great deal of interest was mani
tested by all the pupils, and but
few failed to pass. Five pupils
averaged over SO per cent. on fl
nal examination on all their stud
les. l. L. Miller, Geo. Sublett,
Blaine Russell, Depsey Beard,
Ray Ware and Miss Annie Farris
were the leaders. Too much
praise can not be given all the
pupils for the honorable and de-
termined way in which they con-
Quoted themselves on the exam
nations. The result was GER
tainly gratifying to pupil, teach
er and parent. Weekly examin-
atoms were held during the en-
tire school, and will be continued
during the next school. "Thor-
oughness and practicability" is
our motto.

to all. After the reading Of the
honor roll and the awarding of
the medals for the highest aver
age, DR.. Hancock addressed the
audience. He presented two
questions. asking which will the
people of Cane Valley choose.
Do you want the school in our
midst to be a public school with
two teachers, or do you want it
to be a high school with six teach
ers =? The progressive spirit and
the educational inclination of the
people of Cane Valley were quick
ly shown. In a few minutes
nearly $500 was raised with
which to supplement the public
school fund, thus assuring the
continuance of the Cane Valley
High School under it's present
teachers. Prof. j. H. Sanders
will continue as principal, with
not only the assistance of his
present co-workers, Prof. Kerr
and Miss Blevins, but also the
assistance of three other teach
ers to be selected later, two of
whom will be music and elocu-
ton teachers. The people of
Cane Valley and vicinity have
decided to have a school second
to none in this section of the
State.
After much cheering by the
audience and a few closing re-
marks by Prof. Sanders, Bro.
Dudgeon dismissed the crown
with prayer.

AS a result of the liberal
donations and the educational
spirit of the people of Cane Valley
the Cane Valley Public school
and the c. V. H. S. will be con-
solidated, and will take the name
of the latter.
Owing to the great interest
manifested and the big success
of the c. V. H. S. this spring,
the people of Cane Valley have
decided to spare neither money or
time in making this school one
of the best high schools in the
state. Every enducement will
be offered to pupils who expect
to attend school. Prof. Sanders,
Prof. Kerr and Miss Blevins
have already been employed and
another teacher will be employed
during the spring term. A music
teacher and also an elocution
teacher will be added to the
faculty, thus offering all the
advantages to be had at any high
school.
Two literary societies will be
organized at the beginning of
school, also a glee club. We ex-
pect to have vocal, string and
instrumental taught.
An athletic club will be organ
lied during the summer at which
time series of entertainments
will be given for the benefit of
same. We hope to raise $3.50 for
the benefit of the Athletic Asso-
citation, a crack team basket ball,
tennis club and ball team will be
organized. If you are interested
in school and are thinking of at
tending school, be sure to inves-
tigate the G. V. H. S. and get
rates, &c.. before deciding where
you will go. Write to ]. H.

REPORT OF PRIMARY DEPART
MENT.

|
MENT.
The work in the Primary De-
partment of the C. V. H. S., has
been satisfactory throughout the
past term. The pupils have
shown a great deal of interest,
have attended regularly, and
have been kind, obedient and at
tentive to their teacher.
The prize for highest average
was won by Miss Eula Sublett,
her average being SO per cent.
She certainly deserves credit, as
she averaged q hours study a
night. The contest was a very
close one, and only a fraction of
a per cent. won the prize.
Count Dudgeon, David Banks
and Alice Hopewell won prizes
in spelling. Alice Hopewell, Da-
vid Banks, Stanly, T. 1 and
Spalding Smith won prizes in
reading; T. |. Smith also won a
prize in arithmetic.
The roll of honor is as follows:
Eula Sublett, Count Dudgeon,
Stanley Smith, Flora Wilson Or
ly Christie, David Banks, Harry
Hutchinson, Tye Faulkner, George
Beard and Johnnie Farris.
Mamie Rice, Count Dudgeon
and Harry Hutchinson are on the.
honor roll of attendance.
The pupils and teachers are
looking forward to the opening
of next term with much pleasure.
l wish to thank the people of
Cane Valley for the kindness and
hospitality shown me during my
stay with them.
| have never been in any place
where more interest has been
manifested by the pupils and pa
irons of a school.
May our school prosper and
prove a blessing to Cane Valley.

REPORT OF THE INTER-
MEDIATE DEPARTMENT.

The work in the intermediate
Department of the G.. V. H. S.
for the term just closed is very
encouraging, and satisfactory n
every respect.
Throughout the term the inter
est Of the pupils never tagged in
the least and they look forward
with enthusiasm to the opening
of the fall term.
The following is a list of the
prize winners in the intermediate
Department: Matte Callison,
Ada Sublett, Ruth Sublett, Bes-
sic Rice, Branch Sublett, Josh
Johnson, James Vaughan and
Lucille Banks.
A medal was offered for the
highest general average, this
was won by Matte Callison. The
contest was closed, and Matte
deserves credit for winning over
so many worthy contestants,
and all the pupils joined in con-
graduating her.
The roll of honor was as fol-
lows: Matte Callison, Pinkie Cal
lison, Nancy Dudgeon, Iva Sub
lett, Ruth Sublett Mary Sublett,
Josh Johnson, James Vaughan,
John Smith and Ira Vaughan.
Ivy Sublett, James Vaughan
and Henry Moore did not miss a
day during the entire term.
The department of the pupils
of this department was almost
perfect for the entire term. Per-
feet harmony prevailed among
the pupils, without a single
break in the discipline of the de-
partment, a record not often
made, and which speaks much
for pupils and patrons.
The pupils seemed to regret
only one thing and that was the
close of the school. Not much
was said about the good times
to be had during vacation, but
one and all were looking forward
to the opening Of the fall term.
The future Of the C. V. H. S.
looks bright and fair and at the
close of the term. Many were the
words of encouragement heard.
from pupils and patrons.
Many thanks to the good peo-
pie Of Cane Valley for their hos

shown during our stay with
them. May prosperity and hap
piness be their portion, is the
wish of a true friend.
