and sermon to the graduates at the
chapel hall at IL O'Clock, at which
time Rev. F. g. Neely, pastor of
the Baptist Church at Pocahontas,
delivered an excellent sermon. His
subject was Education of Heart
and some excellent points were
brought ont. Rev. Nicely was IN
his usual jolly mood and related
several amusing incident relative
to the subject of the sermou.. He
is very deeply interested in the ed.
ucation of the youth of the county
and his sermon was very instruct
i've as well as interesting. Rev.
Carter, pastor of the Methodist
church was present and envoked
blessing on the students as well as
the entire community as also did
Prof Myrick. Excellent music was
rendered by the choir and Maynard
can well be'proud of the musical
talent of the town and students at
tending the Acadamy.

people. The chapel was filled to
its capacity and excellent music was
rendered for the occasion.

exciting time ball was batted in
his direction and he actually caught
it. He retired the side for the in

The ladies of the town took about
as much interest in the game as did
the men. One was heard to make
the remark. "How can you tell
when they are playing" and another
replied, "whenever you see them
hit the ball and some one does not
stop them they get to first plate"
"They do now"
The game was fast one and not
much time was consumed. The

citizens of the town of Maynard

base ball was arranged between the

that the game was full of errors

game will be played at an early
date between these two teams.

THAT BALL GAME
AT MAYNARD
Republicans and Democrats Crossed
Bats Last Monday and Large
Crowd was in Attendance

One of the most amusing features
of the cIosing of the Academy at
this place was the game of base
ball that was pulled off by the
Democrats and Republicans on the
campus last Monday evening. One
who is acquainted with the gentle
men who constituted both teams
can at a glance at their names read
ly recoe nize the fact that m e
swift p aging was done and it re-
quired the services of two umpires
to keep the game right. There was
some brilliant playing done, chief
among which was stopping the ball
when it was batted to the inner or
outer fald. Following is the score

Maynard Academy
Closed Last Monday

On Monday morning at 10 o'clock
the crowd assembled again for the
class day exercises, and the program
was we'll rendered.
When we say that the papers
read and the songs sung were rem
dered in an excellent manner, we
are putting it very mildly. The
male quartette in the song, "Fare-
well'' brought tears to many eyes
in the audience.
The diplomas were presented by
Prof. Myrick and it was his inten-
tion to make an address to the grad
yates but at the moment found it
impossible to do so. Tears immed-
lately sprang to the eyes of more
than half the audience and the
scene was a touching one.
Prof. and Mrs. Myrick have la
bored well and met with many ad.
versitles under which they had no
control and the attendance of the
school has not been as large as in
previous years. They have many
friends here who regret exceedingly
that they will take their departure
in short time for another part of
the state where they will take a
much needed rest.
The exercises were closed Mon
day night with an excellent pro-
gram. There were ten musical
numbers and was concluded by
drama entitled "Among the Break.
