FIELD AND TRACK MEET.
Within the past two years, the
Lexington High school has made
a pronounced advancement in
the realm of athletics. Of
course, prior to that, base ball
and football teams were a mat
ter of course. But within re.
cent years, the students have en-
deavored to support all forms of
athletics and although that was
but a short time ago, an admir-
able spirit is being shown.
The second annual track and
field meet consisting of the reg
ular events was held on the
Wentworth campus Friday af-
ternoon. Almost every high
school student from the
ages of u to 20 took part and the
meet was characterized by a
great degree of enthusiasm. AT
though the NEE. was an individ-
ual competition, considerable
rivalry existed between the up
per and lower classes. The
prize awarded to the athlete
making individually the greatest
number of points was a gold
medal BY winning five frsts
and four seconds, which totalled
81 points, Robert Groves was

Wallace, Morris, Neer and
Wright were closely behind the
leaders.
In mostof the events, the boys
showed good form and careful,
persistent training. Good time
was made in the low hurdles,
half mile, 22O yd. dash and quar-
ter. The attending crowd was
very large and encouraged the
boys a great deal by frequent
applause.
Besides the medal, the boys
competed keenly for a fine and
valuable array of prizes which
had been contributed by the
merchants of this city. The
prizes were pretty evenly divi.
ded and all seemed satisfied.

CLOSING RECEPTION.
The high school, from the pro-
ceeds of the recent entertain
ment given at the opera house,
gave a final reception in the audi.
forum at the school Friday ev.
in honor of the seniors.
Almost every pupil attending
the high achool was present at
this reception. The walls of the au-
ditorium we're tastefully and attract

ing and cut flowers. During the course
Of the reception, the high school cho.
rus rendered an original song from
the pen of Prof. B. M. Little entitled

that number a chorus of male voices
helped entertain the guests with va
rious songs and yells. The prizes won

talon was enabled to cross on
this.
SHAM BATTLE.
The sham battle which took
place at 1880, this time was a
great success. This was due
to the large number of partici-
pants and to the opportunity
which the enlarged field gives
for spectacular work. The two
heavy guns were placed at the
south end of the field and on the
brow of the hill were a number
of i~nfantrymen in the defensive
party. The attacking party
drove these back to the guns and
finally captured the guns.
An interesting feature was the
work of the hospital squad in
clearing the field of dead and
wounded. Imitation blood was
used to make the effect more
realistic. To round off the en-.
joyment of the spectators a
traitor was shot.
INDIVIDUAL COMPETITIVE DRILL.
Immediately after dinner the
fifteen candidates for honors in
the individual competitive drill
were lined up. Lieutenant
Ferris was the Judge. After
drilling a short time five men
were thrown out and shortly
afterwards four more. This
left Mann, Sellers, Teichmann,
Levy, Richardson and Kellogg.
On a maneuver in oblique march
ing Sellers was the only one
right, and he therefore won the
medal.
ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT.
Wednesday evening the opera
house was completely filed on
the occasion of the annual enter
tainment. The program wes
opened by two selections by the
band, These were we'll render.
and enthusiastically received.
A dumb bell drill by sixteen of
the small boys followed and
naturally made a big hit with the
audience,
The feature of the entertain
.ent was His Sister Jane" a
in three acts written and
produced by Capt. D. A. Ruebel.
1t was a neat and clever play and
was well acted by the cast made
up from the senior class. Cadet
Wyatt took the title role and
scored a triumph. He
made a buxom and winsome lass.
bis whistling speciality was
wonderful. Cadet Uhl proved
attractive as a girl and received
many compliments on his
beauty. Tisdel as the old
was capital and Drinkwater
made a fetching French maid.
The male roles were we'll handled
by cadets Hoge l, Woodland,
Griffith, Richardson, Nc.
Yoakum l, Kellogg and
Moore 1.
A pleasing feature was the
singing of Capt. Ruebel and
Miss Aull's Wentworth song
the first and second
acts.
GRADUATING EXERCISES

Thursday morning to witness the
graduating exercises. After an

IT lessons TEE TRAFFIC.

A great glass works at Huntington,
w. Va, has closed its doors, and sew
eral glass manufacturing plants in
Pittsburg are working on short time
and with many hands suspended indefi-
nitely. The head of one of the concerns
said that prohibition was the cause of
the slump in the trade of concerns
making bottles and tumblers of various
sorts.-Savannah News.
This is an indication that prohibition
does prohibit Intoxicants are not con-
venient; it has to be sent for by ex-
press or sequestered in dens, and thus
delays the use, decreasing the amount
of consumption of both whiskey and
beer, and very materially decreases the
demand for bottles. Prohibition, it is
also reported, has decreased the cigar
trade, as men formerly stood around
bar-rooms, imbibed freely, and smoked
cigars frequently. The lack of oppor.
tunity to indulge in convivial drinking
has curtailed the demand for cigars
What man is not bettered physically
mentally and financially by leaving of

MARIETTA CHURCHES
AND MINISTERS.

1T is remarkable that neither the
| First Baptist Church, nor the First
Methodist Church, nor the Presbyterian
Church, has ever produced preacher.
The rector at Americas Rev. James b.
| Lawrence is the son of K. Def. Law
renee, of Marietta Episcopal Church. -
Marietta Courier.
The Courier has been wrongly in
formed. 1t would be remarkable" if
true, and we know the Courier will be
glad to correct it.
Rev. w. D. Anderson, one OF the
grandest, brainiest and most consecra.
| ted preachers that ever adorned the
North Georgia Methodist Conference,
was converted here at q sweeping revival
and entered the ministry as member
of the Marietta Methodist Church. de
was assigned to the passionate OF this
church when the conference met here,
by request of the members, and served
the church faithfully, and when he de-
parted this life, he was a trustee OF the
Marietta Methodist Church. He was a
commanding figure in the conference,
of unbounded influence. and was pastor
of First Church of Athens, First Church
of Atlanta, LAGRANGE, and other places,
and was presiding elder of the Marietta
district. II he had lived, he would have
been made bishop, as his name was on
the lips of brother ministers frequently
for that sacred and responsible place.
Then, there is Rev. Charles Lane.
Who is it that doesn't know Charley
Lane? who breaches and lectures, and
does as much good as any one in making
other people happy and better
Rev. John M. Lowrey, born and raised
in Marietta, who worked side by side
with the editors of the Marietta Jour
nal at the printers case, entered the
ministry as a member of the Marietta
Methodist Church, and became presid-
irg elder. He was the son of Rev. BAIL
Lowrey, and was related TO Bishop Hay
good.
Then, there is Rev. Claud L. Smith,
one of the brightest young men that
ever entered the ministry, who was an
active member of the Marietta Metho-
dist Church, now a missionary in Brazil,
doing grand work.
From the Baptist Church, Rev. John
ME Logan, an able preacher and earnest
worker, now in charge Of church in
Alabama, and, by his life, rejecting
credit on the First Baptist Church here
who helped to educate him at Mercer.
DIR. /. w. Waddell, a member of the
Marietta Presbyterian Church, and
ordained here as minister; man OF
great learning and pulpit power, presi-
dent of several colleges at different
times, and filling acceptably prominent
pulpits, and is now in Florida.

here have contributed strong" preach |
