Closing Exercises

The commencement exercises of the
| Tupelo High School began Sunday
morning by the delivery of the COM
mencement sermon at the Methodist
church by Rev. L M. Lipscomb, of
New Albany. The sermon was replete
in many divine truths as they relate to
man and their application was made in
telling effect upon the congregation
that filled the spacious auditorium.
Tn Thursday morning at the Comus
theatre the closing exercises took place
with an interesting program.
Divine invocation was offered by Rev.
w. L. Duren, of the Methodist church.
Following which Van K%incannon, Jr.,
and Charlie Mitchell, students of the
9Th grade, were called to the stage
where they were presented with medals

of the session which had been good al
though many difficulties had been met.
He thanked the Board of Trustees for
their loyal help during the session.
The graduating class numbering five,
four young ladies and one man, then
delivered their addresses. Each was a
model in itself and we have never
heard graduating essay of a higher
class upon any occasion. All acquitted
themselves with distinction and much
credit was reflected upon the school.
The graduates with their essays were
as follows: Miss Christine Robertson,

Miss Forest Milan. After Graduation,

many lovely flowers manifesting the

Mr.. w. H. Smith delivered the adj
dress of the day. His direct and force
full style appealed Immediately to the
audience and he held their attention
throughout. Eminently practical, Mr..
Smith went into a discussion OF those
things which serve the best purpose in
the education of the young. He takes
issue with the system that relies solely
upon text books cut of which the young
must be educated. This education I'M
fits the boys and girls of the country
for the practical duties of life VIII. oh
they encounter upon leaving school.
Along with the mind the hand should
be educated and together the well
rounded character is the out come. He
has devoted much time and thought to
the study of education for the young
and his information along this line has
been gained by practical intercourse
with educators and methods. His
address before the school will re-

give a just and judicious estimate
of the character of those who
have gone from us, and to set
ones self to the task of giving
a full and detailed estimate of
the worth of a true man is a
foolish impertinence. For life
is a many-faceted diamond, and
no single eye can catch the flash
from every facet. Some things
we may know and relate. but
many equally valuable traits will
not find witness this side of the
judgement. And the force of
all this appears when we would
undertake to tell the story of a
life that for twenty five years
has been leaving sunshine and
fragrance and sweetness along
every path, and has given a
name to be a household treasure.
But to refuse to bring a gar
land because it may not be a
perfect garland is to be untrue
to ourselves and untrue to our
friend. | shall not undertake to
delineate the virtues which enter
ed into the character of DR.. Bon
ner. but simply speak a word of
praise and appreciation of the
man fallen in the very midst of
his usefulness. 1t is no unusual
thing to find a halo above the
Pickering light of the sanity
life ripened by the processes of
years of service, for age makes
the deed more tender and re-
Election softens the light. But
the attractions of the activity
and aggressiveness characteristic
of middle life stand out in our
thought, while tenderness and
grace ripen unobserved. For
one in the zenith of his power
and effectiveness DR.. Bonner
was singularly beloved. The at
tachment to those to whom he
minlstered in physical affliction
was very marked they are
bereft. The humble folk to whom
he had been as an angel of mer-
cy for a quarter Of a century
carry their distress upon their
faces. And it is no disparage-
ment of his worthy successors to
say that in the going away of
DR.. Bonner we all feel a sense
of desolation. We know that
the place of a man, tried and
true, is hard to fill; and that the
value of friendship has never
been determined.
In the waning hours of the
tenth of May, on the threshold
of Gods holy dav, he lay down
to rest from his labors. Quickly
the sorrowful story had threaded
the darkness of the night; and
along every street people with
aching hearts were moving to
the bedside of their friend. In

HOW SOME WORDS ORIGINATE
Construction of Language as Much q
Piece of Carpentry as Building
Of Ordinary House.

Word building is as much piece OF
carpentry as is house building. Only II
takes longer. Sometimes century or
more. And by that time the words
first meaning is usually changed.
For example, the old word for
"neighbor" was "sib." Ones good
neighbor was known as ones good
sib." This became shortened to god
sib," and later to gossip" Then the
words whole meaning changed and
gossip no longer meant good neighbor.
but applied to the sort Of talk ex-
changed between good neighbors.
Take the word farmer" too. The
old word for farmer" was "boor."
(And "boor" later was used for de-
scribing farmerlike or rough persons.)
The farmer living nearest to one was
known as the "nighboor," and this
phrase, in course Of time. was twist
ed to "neighbor."
