Mrs. PAGES school has on its
roll just four pupils Miss Leila
Edwards, aged Is years; Miss
Helen Wright, aged IL years;
Miss Martha Wright, aged 10
years, and Miss jamie Edwards,
aged 8 years. The school while
small, is one of the most promis-
ing, and the daily labor and toll
of the little ones during term
show the efficient and eloquent
progress they have made. All
their final examinations were
above the general average of
93B, which speaks for itself.
Miss Helen Wright is to be
highly complimented for the
manner in which she handles the
piano. Her quick ear for music
assists her very materially, and
her selection, Fanfare Mill
taire", is about four classes
above the general average of
children the same age. She is
also awarded high honors in all
her studies for the year.
Miss Martha Wright won the
medal this year for her music.
She is a very studious, and a
very apt pupil, and has made
wonderful progress in all her
work, which is clearly shown by
the contrast between now and a
year previous.
Miss Leila Edwards is worthy
of credit for her part. She, too,
has not allowed the year to roll
by idly, gaining numerous points
over her work of a year ago.
She has also made progress in
her music, but with considerable
effort, as she does not possess
the natural talent, as is general
ly the case with pronounced
musicians; but her other advsn-
tages over her work make up
for this deficiency. Her elocu-
ton is worthy of high praise,
and her natural talent leads more
to this than to music.
Miss jamie Edwards, while
only 8 years old, does wonder
fully well ,recites beautifully, and
her music is excellent. With
the required practice she will
make quite a musician.
Mrs. Pace deserves great
credit for her careful and never
ceasing efforts in teaching these
children, and judging from the
work they have done it has not
been unavailing, as only the
best tutorage can bring these re-
suits.

Boardman's baseball team won
the game with Whiteville on
Friday last. The game was we'll
played, and worthy of praise on
both sides. The batteries were:
Boardman, Covirgton and Gov
lngton; Whiteville, Tucker and
Smith. The score was Board
man 3, Whiteville 2. The fea-
lures of the game worth mention
were: Men struck out by Gov
ington, Is; men struck out by
Tucker, IL; errors by Boardman,
., errors by Whiteville, 4; hits
by Boardman, 8; hits by White.
vile, 6.
The game was the fairest ever
played in Columbus county. The
teams were we'll matched, and
the umpire's decisions were alb.
solutely fair, and we'll based.
We appreciated their coming
over, and the next time they come
we will try to make the game
more interesting by finishing it
IN our favor in about half the
time.
A special feature of the game
was the playing of Miller on
short stop. This is probably the
record-breaking game for the
number of innings ever PLAYED
In Columbus county.
