He dwelt upon the importance of
having some definite, lofty pur-

complish such a purpose. The
exclamation contest on Monday
night was a most interesting and
exciting entertainment. Six
young ladies and three young
gentlemen took part, and all of
them acquitted themselves with
a great deal of credit. The prize
was a handsome gold medal, and
was won by Miss Mia Knox,
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Law
renee Knox, of Stanton.
The exercises of the primary
department on Tuesday after
noon were most thoroughly en-
loved. Misses Kabele and Welsh
had their little ones drilled to
perfection. The fan drill and
the playlet, "Cinderalla", were
executed in "a charming manner
by the tots, as was also the May
