latka The meeting will take place at
the Orpheum Theater Tuesday evening,

this, have made arrangements TO that

BARDIN NEWS.

The Bardin school closed last Friday,
the 29th inst, and it was quite memor-
able event notwithstanding the rain
which fell inceSSently until about II a.
m. The patrons and many friends at
tended the exercises nd expressed
themselves as much pleased with them,
and say there was never more impress
Sive school breaking at Barden. After
the exercises the well filled baskets
were brought out and, WE'LL could not
do them Justice no matter how hard |
tried. Suffice ii TO say that we had
plenty and plenty to spare of all good
eatableS; and after dinner we listened TO
some fine addresses by Mr.. Middleton,
County Superintendent Tucker, h c
very pleasant and genial editor OF the
Palatka News and Mr.. r. f. Cradle OF
the Agricultural Department of the G..
S. & +. R'y. We certainly appreciate
the honest and faithful efforts our teach
crs have made and are we'll pleased with
the advancement of our children. Wal
ter Williams and Roy Matthews had
neither missed day or been tardy dur
ing the school session of seven months,
and Clarence and Harry Green were
nearly as perfect, while many others
missed only day or two during the
term. We heartily recommend these
worthy teachers, Prof r. A. Perry the
principal, and Mrs. Clara King, 10 any
school in the state. lOur correspondent
has been, if anything, too modest in her
report of this excellent school. Ger
tainly in lifetime'S observation of ru-
| raj schools we have never witnessed a
closing exercise where the entire school
had been brought 10 higher state OF
proficiency, or had acquitted themselves
with greater credit Prof. Perry has
served his third year at Bardin; he is a
young man who seems to be thoroughly
in love with the profession of teaching,
and who impressed US as being one
young man who has every promise of
bright, even brilliant future in whatever
profession he may select for his life
work. He is a son of County Commits
sioner f. B. Perry of Melrose.-Ed.

The prospects for our Normal school
grows brighter every day and the teach
er, Prof. r. A. Perry, is kept very busy.
Success TO him.
Miss Lonnic EdmonSon, the very at
tractive daughter of our County Treas
urer, was the week.en guest of Miss
Amy MCCraney.
DIR. f. w. Warren, one of Palatka's
able physicians, was out here this week
visiting some of his patients.
The social given at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Key the night of March

a pleasant time to all present. We hear
that one young man had more than one
string to his "beaux." Ask o. J. J.
about this.
Next Sunday will be Easter Sunday
and is our church day, and our pastor,
Rev. ]. f. Black, will be present 10
preach his usual able sermons. All
come out and hear him. We need

Mr.. Hilburn left yesterday afternoon
for Nlacclenny, where he expected 10

joint debate. In regard 10 Mr.. Clark'S
letter OF acceptance OF the MaCclenny in
vitation, wherein that gentleman stated
that he would demand as much time as
both the other candidates should have

seat in Congress" he said. 81 am be-
fore the people TO be elected TO the seat

IN COCOON.

The little city of Coggon, town
Of about 600 Inhabitants, is show
ing how to manage successfully
municipal public utility plants. A
few years ago Coggon installed
municipal water works, issuing
bonds therefor to the amount Of
$4,000 and payable in twenty years.
The bonds haze been paid of in seven
years. and the plant Is free from
debt.
The city also has an electric
light plant. The water plant not
only pays for the operation Of the
water works but it also provides the
running expenses of the electric
light plant. The revenue from the
light plant, with the addition Of
$500 levied in taxes for each Of the
Ave years will ray OF the indebted
ness on that plant.
Coggon citizens are to be congrat-
ulated on their splendid showing
