On Friday of last week from
lilo to | :35 p. M, in the school
auditorium, DR.. Joseph Thomas
Watts Sunday School Secretary
Baptist State Mission Board
spoke to the pupils of the school
upon the subject of the Bible.
His very simple, scholarly,
helpful and interesting address
was greatly appreciated by the
entire school, who Sat with
their usual good order, and
manifested much interest and
attention i'll what the speaker
was saying.
DR.. Watts, who is u speaker
of great ability and force, closed
on Sunday night, last, at the
Baptist church in this town,
one of the most helpful and
successful Sunday School In
stitutes ever held here.
We trust our Sunday schools

of his earnest efforts, and,

Open Meeting Of the Atheuian Literary
Society.
The Athenian Literary So
ciety, on Friday evening last.
gave to the public literal
surprise and treat.
The program, which was pub
lished III last weeks Post, was
rendered with such degree of
excellence that it reflected much
honor upon the entire school.
and in particular upon those
VINO we're selected TO uphold
their schools honor and good
name. Judging from these, only
average members, we have Just
cause to feel gratiiied with the
progress we are making along
this line. The talent manifested
on the part OF our young ora
tors, debaters and musicians is
due, in large measure, to that
genius which is obtained by
faithful application and hard
work. This should be an EN-
enlargement and inspiration TO
not only the whole society but
to the entire school.
The committee, composed of
Messrs. j f. Bullitt, Q. S.
Carter and j. l.. Mccormick,
decided that the negative side
won the debate, and that Miss
Ruby Kemper was the best
debator. Messrs. Byron Rhoads
and Billy Mathews tied for first
honor in defamation.
At the close of the program,
the president, Mr.. Sam Nickels,
with very appropriate words,
introduced Hon. Il. II. Irvine,
one of the local school board. as
speaker of the evening. Mr..
Irvine, in his usual pleasant
manner, made n most delight
full address on the boy hood of
Washington" the man in whose
honor our celebration was
given.
Literary, Musical aud Moving Picture
Entertainment.
On Friday evening, next, at
the Amuzu Theatre, a Literary
Musical and Moving Picture

der the auspices of the High
School General Athletic Asso-
citation.
Some of our best students, as
well as local talent, will take
part in making this entertain
mont a real success.
Our school has bright pros
poets along athletic lines; we
need just little financial start;
so come out, get your moneys
worth, and at the same time
encourage the boys and girls.

After the recess he again fill

then announced that he would
permit four appropriation bills
to pass if Arizona's admission
was attached to that of New

get Arizona in. When the vote
was takenit stood 80 for the
Owens resolution and 45 against,
the Republicans voting solldly
against admission of either state
with the exception of IA insur-
gents, thus dragging New Mexi
co down and not helping Arizona.
Senator Baily was highly in
censed that Arizona's admission
was made a requirement for the
admission of New Mexico and
sent his resignation to Vice Presl-
dent Sherman, who placed it IN

a prolonged filibuster by |
Senator Owen, the senate de-
feated the statehood measure for
ew.-Mexico and Arizona by a
xo+o of 90 to A5
Senator Owen had insisted that
he would not allow a vote on
New Mexico statehood, which |
put two Republican senators in
the senate, without also state

new state two Democratic sena-
tors will come.
It developed that in voting to
defeat the coupling of Arizona
and New Mexico statehood,
the senate had defeated the
of the New Mexico
constitution as well.
