UNWILLING EXERCISES.

One of the most impressive GER
emonies of the kind ever witnessed
in this county was the unveiling of
Sovereign Lewis Saunders monu-
ment in Hardin Cemetery, 6 miles
southeast of Camden Sunday after
noon by Postoak Camp Woodmen
of the World.
Aside from the ritualistic SER
vice, which was well carried out,
hesinging was good, and the large
assemblyof people, ,includingmany
from this place, followed the cere-
mony with interest.
An attractive feature was the
reading of the Woodmen poem by
Mrs Blanche Sefried, whose voice
is of good tone and power, and her
reading made deep impression.
@. N. Frazier, the rising young at
torney of this city, delivered one
of the most brilliant orations ever
heard in Benton County.
Lewis Saunders was a prominent
young farmer, and the only loss
Postoak Camp has ever sustained
in that locality.

EVENT OF. INTEREST.
Circus dayi

Circus day!
There is a realm Of magic in the
phrase for both old and young
which needs no explanation.
With the advent of the Haag
Shows Sunday morning the small
boy turned out IN full force and
rushed to the railroad yards to
witness the unloading with JOY
in his heart that caused some OF
them to forget the dinner hour.
Many of his older brothers join
ed him at the show grounds in the
afternoon, and there was almost a
constant stream of humanity TO
and from town to the railway sta
ton until late hour.
Many of the older ones went in
the morning to watch, while order,
as at the command of magician,
arose from apparent chaos. There
is nothing slow about circus.
About noon Monday the parade
passed around courtsquare. There
is nothing clings to popular favor
like the circus parade, as was at
tested by the large number who
braved the mud and rain to watch
the passing of the Haag pageant.
There is little new about the cir
Gus parade, but the time-honored
features are always interesting.
No man or boy ever tires of seeing
the elephants carry their great
bulks meekly through the streets,
and no one is bored by observing
the humps on the camels as they
drift by like phantoms.
The lion and tiger and monkey
in the gaudy cage never ceases to
be an object of curious wonder,
and the Shetland ponies always
fascinate the child and proyokes
the exclamation, aren't they
cute?"
The Haag combination is very
good one, and the exhibition here
would have been better if given
half q chance. Mud, mud, mud
everywhere proved handicap to
the.show people and the populace.

clothes? For the best give us a

CLOSING EXERCISES.

Thursday evening of last week
one of the largest audiences that
has assembled at Benton Seminary
for sometime was present to wit
ness the production of "Rebecca's
Triumph" a drama, by the classes
in music and expression.
The plot of the play was devoid
of tragedy and sentimentalism, all
the characters being young ladies.
This lent new interest and charm
to the audience, and it's rendition
was exceptionally good.
The entire program, including
the drill and musical features, was
of high order, rejecting much
credit on Miss Ola Mcdaniel, pi-
ano instructor, and everyone left
delighted with the evenings en-
tertainment.
At the graduating exercises on
Friday evening the college chapel
was again crowded to overfowing
with the friends and patrons of
the school. The members of the
class acquitted themselves with
much credit and to the satisfaction
of the faculty and their friends.
Diplomas were presented by A.
V. Bowles, president of the school
board, to Miss Nicola Anderson,
Herman Bomar, Charles l.. Paf-
ford, Roy W. Barnes, Allan III.
Robinson, Blake Pafford, Lucas
Davis and Miss Robbie Fryer who
have completed the course in the
eighth grade.
This has been q very successful
year in every way for the school.
The enrolment has been much
larger and the standard of work
raised above other years.
1t has been the aim of the fac
ulty to do complete justice to the
students in a literary, in a moral
and in a spiritual sense. The f.
nails delivered by the young men
and young ladies were scholarly
efforts and breathed the moral and
Christian influences which have
been strong feature of the school.
The Benton Seminary is WELD
ing a powerful influence for the
cause of education in our county,
and Camden is taking high place
as center of culture and refine
ment.
The work of the past session re-
fleets great credit on the faculty,
and while there will be some
changes along this line, the long
and prosperous life of the school
will continue uninterrupted, and
it will be the aim of the faculty
and our citizens to maintain even
a better school next year.

We have lately been perusing the

The book Is exceedingly interesting

style Is pleasing.
Every young Kansan should read
this book that he may know some

10 Kansas. There are many people
living today who we're Ia Lawrence

is row At least one person living 10

Though we read the newspaper

with those who were there, we have
never had the whole transaction IN
its minutia so clearly set forth as we
find 1t In Mr.. Cennelley's book.
