PUBLIC SCHOOL
CLOSES SESSION
Eleven Granted Certificates for
Completion Of 9th Grade.
HIGH HONOR
TO SEQJACHEE
Pleasing Program Carried Out
Shows a Very Successful
SchooI-Better AccomO-
dations Wanted.

The Sequachee Public School closed
Thursday night, after very success
full term, with a public exhibition in
the Town Hall. There were recita-
tions and dialogues in plenty and all
did we'll. Some nice music also did
much to assist the program, Miss Nj
ma Randle being accompanist, and
leader in preparing it, 'The Indian
Bird being a feature, as we'll as the
opening chorus The "Ruggles Fami-
ly'', wherein the lines were read by
Mr.. Pryor, and then characters in the
family appearing on the stage as men,
toned in the reading was entertain
ing. despite the vigorous cannonading
INDUCED in by Jasper gentlemen on
the outside. Mr.. Pryor fortunately
having a good carrying" voice.
Eleven members of the school were
presented with certificates of having
passed Sth grade in public school, and
are therefore eligible to attend the
County High School, They we're as
follows:
MILFORD Scofeld, Henrie Martin,
Harvey Smith, Dennis Condra, Willie
Lee, Libbbie Coppinger, May Lasater,
Sam Lasater. Will Martin, Sam Mar
tin, Grace Fultz.
Sequachee achieves peculiar distinc-
ton in this matter, furnishing the
largest number to attend the High
School of any place in the County.
Mr.. Alan Kelly, superintendent of
Public instruction of Marion County
made the presentation of certificates,
and complimented the place highly,
saying that the High School would
open with an attendance of less than
hundred as shown so far flom the ex-
aminations held throughout the coun-
tv and Sequachee would furnish eleven
of them. Mr.. Kelly also spoke of the
modern necessity for education, and
urged progress in studies for equip
ment for the world and it's vicissi-
tudes.
Eleven other pupils of smaller di-
mensious, sort Of primary combina-
tion, received prizes for headmarks,
for punctuality, etc, the presentation
being made by Rev. g. N. Draper, in
fitting words, saying that this also
was an honor to Sequachee to have
eleven more remembered for good work
done. Those receiving prizes were;
Carrie Bowlin, Ellen Fults, Daisy
Beeler, Hughie Lewis, Bessie Beeler
Ross Scofeld, Herschall Pryor, Luther
Cabe, Jim Martin, Claud Alton.
There was large attendance of pa
rents and friends to witness and hear
the efforts of the children.
The school has been under the man
agement of Prof W. s. Pryor and
Miss Virgie Lasater, and faithful work
seems to have been done. The school
accommodations, however, are not
conducive to good work, and some
thing will have to be DONE as the con-
ditions are miserably poor. All effort
should be made during the coming
year to get better accommodations and
who will make the first effort?

1t is not one color that is too bright,
too loud for young girl; it is the COM

be remembered when replenishing the
wardrobe, and only those colors be
chosen which will combine with those
already got, fewer mistakes Will be
made. and the number of perfectly

two inches below the sill, and are only
