Last week beginning with We'd
nesday was a gay one for the
young folks of our high school. On
Wednesday night April goth the
Juniors entertained the Seniors at
the beautiful home of DR.. Grady.
Miss Margaret his daughter being
one of the Juniors. The teachers
were also present and babe time
to turn backward in it's flight and
make them have their childhood
for that night, which was granted
for the games and music was some
thing long to be remembered. A
full four course supper of the most
most elegant and dainty character
was served. The juniors were very
heartily congratulated upon their
uccess as entertainers and of
course feel highly repaid for their
efforts in SO well pleasing their
honored guests. On Thursday even
ing April 21st the large doors of
the Christian church were spread
open for the purpose OF admitting
the mass of people who had gath
cred on the outside to witness the
event of the season-the class OF
1910 graduate. The evening was an
ideal n the raging blizzard that
threatened no doubt hid behind the
mountains and let the moon have
sway and every thing was lovely
and mild. There were six gradu-
ates as follows: Misses Alma Pc err
man, Maggie Berry, Genevive Bis
hop, Susie Copeland, Laura Vaughn
and Martin Bates. On account of
the very lengthy program only
three of the six had the honor OF
reading their essays. However
they were all beautifully written
and ere of unusual merit. Little
Winnie Eta Williams in a most
pathetic voice which was clearly
heard over the whole building
made a speech of the goodby kind.
She represented the sth grade.
Then Miss Ella Copeland gave the
juniors address to the seniors in a
very cordial happy style which
made the seniors feel unusually
good. The next thing and which
was indeed the best stage talk We
have had in years from a real live
sure enough orator was made by
DR.. Coulter of Warrensburg. His
talk lasted over an hour, but no
one who had a taste for listening
to a talk on the higher things of
life hardly stirred in his seat so
thoroughly delighted at listening
to true socialism, and quotations
and recitals of parts of beautiful
poems from this silver tongued
speaker. The music furnished by
some of Miami's young lady song
birds was simply soul stirring.
The presents that the graduates
received could not be carried away
individually so great in number
were they. The fruit and flowers
in sweet profusion were lavished
upon the six lucky graduates. The
best part of it all is that these
graduates have been considered
the largest and most intelligent
class and having the highest grade
that the high school has turned
out for years. May their unbound
ed success be a booster for the
class of 1911.

The Florida Hog

The most intelligent of domesticated animals, says an authority. is the hog. Half the history of Florida for the last thirty years has been battle for hu- man rights against this animal. He could roam the streets, root up the gardens, and there was positively no defense under tine law. The legisla- ture has at last restricted his rights, and an eastern man who goes to Flor ida every winter, after expressing due appreciation of the change, recently said:
 Hast fall as was entering the state an old SOW with several pigs came to the steps of the car at Palltka, evil dently desiring to mount the steps. The colored porter took a broom and cried:
 "'Shoo there, you black rascal. this ain't yo' cahr, nohow.'"

5 he A Rnn ZOg1 Sonth America's Wonderful River

While the Amazon is the worlds greatest river, if rot in length at least in the volume of water which flows through it, it is the worlds strangest river is well,
 The few travellers and explorers who have jcuraeyed up this watercourse to its many sources in the glaciers of the South American mountains tell stories which are almost incredible about the literal maze of streams which unite to form it, each stream having its birth in one of its great ice masses. Yet 8 few hundred miles below, where they merge and create the river, the tenn perature is such that it works it's way through perfect labyrinth of tropical vegetation.
 Only the mariner can tell the place where the Amazon really has it's mouth, because the opening it has made on the eastern coast of South America is so wide that it extends over 100 miles. A long distance before one comes to the mouth of the riyer.. however, one is really sailing on the waters of the Amazon, says Chambcrs's Journal, be. cause they force their way so far out into the ocean. They say that 300 miles out at seq, off the mouth of the Anna zon, you can hoist bucketful of fresh water out of the ocean from the deck of the ship, such is the quantity of its water that flows from that gigantic basin. s 4
 Long after you have entered sthe actual river and have it's banks to north and south of you, if you are in midstream you willsoon. be out of sight of land, such is the breadth of the vast channel. x The river stretches far into the ocean and farupths country. Take 2 map of South America and look out a place called Iquitos. It lies four fifths of the way across the continent from east to west. Yet from Iquitos there is fortnightIy service of ocean-going steamers to Europe. which descend

some 5000 miles of the river before they reach the sea.
 l. is not only one branch of the Anna zon but many that are thus to be re- garded as the same as ocean highways. The southern branches of the Amazon are broken by rapids along line where a low continental shelf exists. Above these rapids, however, there is again deep water. Thus beyond the falls of the Madeira there are over 10, ,000 miles of navigable water on that river and its branches, and these only await the making of short railway less than 200 miles long to be brought into connec- tion with the other highways of the world. ...-- .-.... .m.........
 Away in this remote part of the South American continent nature has been indeed generous, for in addition to the wealth of rubber there are known to be deposits of gold and other precious minerals. It is said that nearly every one of the glacial streams wash ing down the foothills of the mountains carries sand laden with gold which has been accommodating in its bed for cen,u- ries, but as yet none has been secu :ed by the miner, owing to the distance to these streams being so great and to there being no route by which machin- cry or tools for getting the gold can be taken to these places.
 Not only Sir Martin Conway but other travellers who have ventured along the upper river and its tributa- ries say tbat here a curious earthly paradise really exists. To the surface of the water the suns rays seldom reach; and one may go many miles

duly thankful TO the powers that are

grateful for? Has anything taken
