COUNTY GRADUATING EXERCISES.
Nigh and Common School Graduates
HonoreG by Teacher and Parent.

ing week of the Trego County
High school were held at the
Presbyterian church Sunday
evening, May Is, where Rev. AL
lison delivered an appropriate
address to the Senior graduating
class of 1910.
The church had previously
been arranged with floral and
other decorations for the occasion
which together with the electric
lights that were in service for
the first time, added beauty and
cheerfullneSs to the surround
ings and the inspiring words of
the speaker seemed to penetrate
the soul of every hearer through
out his discourse.
The seating capacity of the
church was not sufficient to ac-
commodate the large crowd in
attendance and even after the
aisles and passageways were
filed with camp chairs, many
were turned away who Seeked
admission 1t was a Union SER
vice throughout and in addition
to select choir and musical pro-
gram, Revs. Green, of the M. E.
and Rev. Mumford, of the Bap-
tist churches, assisted with the
religious exercises
The entire graduating class
were present, occupying the
front seats, who seemed to ap-
preciate and profit by the touch
ing and impressive words of
praise and advise which were
rendered them and everyone
present will doubtless long re-
mem Der the address delivered in
honor of the graduating class of
the Trego County High school in
1910.
COUNTY COMMON SCHOOL EXER-
CISES AT COURT HOUSE
TUESDAY NIGHT.
The common school gradual
ing exercises, embraSing every
school in Trego county with the
city of Wa-Keeney included,
were held in the court house
Tuesday evening, where sixty
pupils, composed of both boys
and girls, were honored by re
,ceiving their diplomas for faith
full and persistent school work,
which will also act as passports
from the grades into the High
school course for advanced edu
cation.
The court room where the ex
erciSeS took place, was artist
.cally decorated with flowers and
ferns and long before the ap
pointed hour for the program to
begin, standing room was at a
premium and many persons,
principally Wa-Keeney people,
were unable to secure either a
seat or place to stand.
The exercises opened by the
graduates marching into the
room in double file to the music
of Rustic Dance" march with
little Clara Gibson and Margaret
Hardman manipulating the keys
at the piano, after which the
class remained standing until
the invocation was delivered by
Rev. Allison, when they were
seated.
A piano solo, The Joyful
Peasant was then rendered by
Miss Jane Schinkowiseh,' when
the county superintendent intro

People. Shocked by Unexpected Death of
Chief Magistrate. Turn TO Mendoza For
Guidance and Are Giving Him Their
Support-Resume of Negro States.
manship In the United States.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.

The death of Don Jose Domingo dc
Obaldia, president of Panama, which
occurred on March 2, and the ascend
ency of DR.. Carlos A. Mendoza to
the presidency recall some interest
ing facts as to the part which Ne.
groes have played in national and
state affairs in the United States. One
of the most striking instances in this
connection happened in Louisiana in
1871, when our own Pinckney Benton
Stewart Pinchback, who is still living,
was on Dec. 6. 1871, elected president
pro TEN. of the state senate and also
lieutenant governor to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Oscar Dunn.
Mr. Pinchback was acting governor
of Louisiana during the impeachment
trial of Governor Warmoth from Dec.
0, 1872. to Jan. 13, 1878. He was also
nominated for governor, but withdrew
in the interest of party peace and was
elected congressman on the same tick
ct. He was chosen senator Jan. 10,
1873, but after hot debate which
lasted for three years. he was not al
lowed to be seated The vote was
thirty-two to twenty He was,
however. given the pay and mileage of
a senator.
B. X. Bruce served as sergeant-at-
arms of the Mississippi legislature and
on Feb. 8. 1875 was elected United
States senator, taking his seat in that
august body March 4 and serving until
March 8. 1881. In West Virginia at
the present time j. 9. Gilmer holds
the position of state librarian. And so
we might go on to enumerate many
more exceptional examples in which
the Negro has proved his worth and
shown his capacity as a statesman.
DR.. Carlos A. Mendoza. the new pres.
ident of Panama, is Negro, the ac'
knowledged leader of the Liberal
party. He is a self made man who
by his own energy and perseverance
has become one of the most Influential
men in Central America He is g
noted lawyer and has always taker
a lively interest in political affairs
In most every revolution on the 18th
mus for the past ten years he has
been leading figure President Men
doza has issued the following procla
nation on the death Of Presiden
Obaldia expressing the sorrow OF thu
nation AT the event which has depriv
ed Panama of the noble and disin
terested services of her most illustri
Gus SON. The proclamation says:
AS tribute to the memory of my chiel
fellow citizen and friend knowing as
knew his desires, aspirations and patri
otic endeavors | declare that in the shor
time | shall occupy the undeserved pos
of president | Will inspire all my acts Il
the policy of concord. moderation and tol

Nothing in the political situation on
the isthmus has so far arisen to occa-
sion alarm. The people Of Panama
have been concerned only with the
death of the president, who was looked
upon as a great organizer and who
had just completed plans for the de-
velopment of the country. The con.
servatives and the partisans of the
late president are giving their support
TO Mendoza.

Only a Dollar Now.

The Lincoln Daily journal has
cut the price to a dollar from
now until January l, 1911, with
out Sunday. The big Sunday
paper will be added for only a
quarter extra, therefore most peo-
pie will no doubt take the S1.25
worth. This makes an exceeding
ly low price during a specially
interesting time, as nearly every
family will want a Lincoln paper
during the next few months. The
State Journal reputation as a
free, independent, clean newspa-
per will prove of special adyan-
tage during the warm campaign
now begun. The paper stops
when the time is up without any
notice from you whatever, so
that you see it is no plan to get
you started and then force the
paper on you.
Why not try a dollars worth
at this cut price.
