Friday and Saturday Evenings
at Eastern Normal.

Friday evening Latin play was pre-
sented by Prof. Grinstead's Latin class.
The Climax was unfortunately unable TO
have a representative present on that oc.
casion. and our faculty of imagination
is not sufficiently developed to enable us
to draw on it and then declare the re-
suits to be facts. We learn, however,
that the play was we'll presented and
enjoyed by select though not large
audience.
Saturday evening large and appreci-
alive audience greeted the rendition OF
Hiawatha, an operatta by the Normal
Glee Club, under direction of Prof. John
G. Koch, with Miss Kean as accompan-
list, and the Berea Orchestra rendering
the instrumental music. The costum-
ing was perfect. The participants looked
like veritable Indians with their toma-
hawks, songs and dances. Little Miss
Mary Hardin Vaught, the wee little
''injun" in her Indian solo. deserves
special mention. A pleasant evening it
was for all.

Mrs. Sim Turpin's Birthday.

Mr.. and Mrs. Simeon Turpin live at
Joe Bogg's place on Bogg's Lane. Sat
urday last was Mrs. Turpin's birthday.
She paid but little attention to it. Her
family connections, the Gentrys (she
being Gentry and Mr.. Turpin's peo-
pie decided to play joke. Mr.. Turpin
was taken into the secret. 1t was his
part, under pretext of some kind, to get
Mrs. Turrin away from home. During
their absence, the Gentrys and Turpins
to the number of about seventy-five,
came in and took possession of the Tur-
pin home, bringing with them baskets
we'll filled with old ham, spring chicken,
pie, bread, cake, pickles, salads and all
the good things which the Gentrys' and
TurpiLs know SO we'll how to prepare.
Upon returning home and in sight of the
house, she could but wonder what all
those people were doing to call and take
possession of her home in her absence,
as they seemed to have done. However,
she was determined to welcome them in
true Kentucky style and give them "a
bite" to eat. Upon entering the house
she found everything ready for the feast.
The fatted calf had been killed, even
though there was no return of the prod
igal son. The situation then dawned
upon her and a good time was had,
handshaking, greetings of friend and
kinship relations and good cheer, with
tempting viands in abundance.
Mrs. Turpin had another happy sur
prise on her birthday: Mr.. Turpin pre-
sented her with a FIVE passenger Over
land touring car, with electric light and
electric starter, one Of the handsomest
cars in the market and most complete
in every detail. He purchased it from
the Overland agent, Mr.. Allen Earring, OF
this city. Sunday afternoon Mr.. Earring
took a party, Mr.. and Mrs Turpin in
cluded, for ride in the new car. They
went to Lexington and the ]. B. Hagir

est, and home again safe and sound aftel

Monday Evening at Madison
Institute.

Margaret Covington presents The
Bishops Silence assisted by Elizabeth
Burnam, pianist, was the evening en-
tertainment. Miss Coyington recited the
beautiful story. She had mastered her
subject, went to the very heart of the
story and gave it to her hearers in a
clear natural voice. Miss Burnam, in her
attractive glrlish manner which captivat-
ed the audience, rendered the instru-
mental music. The Wedding March"
from Lohengrin found response in the
hearts of her hearers perhaps more than
any other number. Her gentle touch
executed at times with spirit, was espec-
tally noticeable. To these two young
ladies and 10 Miss Moore, who planned
the program and taught the work, the
audience is indebted for an hours Ell
joyment.

Florida Newspapers.

We note with both pride and pleasure
kindly criticism in the Ocala, Florida,
Banner, in speaking of Kentucky edit
ors now living in Florida and the men,
ton of three of our ex-Climax editors
now pushing the quill in the Palmetto
State. To three editors mentioned, the
Climax begs leave to add another name,
that of Mr.. A. ID. Miller, associated with
Mr. q. E. Woods as managing editor of
the Lake Region, at Eustis. Mr.. Miller
until recently was editor and part owner
of the Richmond Climax The Messrs.
Walton were formerly for short time
associated with the Climax, as also was
Mr.. Woods some years ago. The Gil
max takes very great pride in the sue
cess that is attending our Kentucky
Florida editors, especially our ex-Climax
editors. But then we expected nothing
else but success for them. Kentucky
editors are the salt of the earth" or
Gods elect" That's what we think
Here is what the Ocala Banner says of
them:
The Orlando Reporter-Star is one of
the newest, cleanest and most success
full newspapers that reaches our sane
tum. 1t carries the Associated Press
news service, is splendidly and consci-
entiously edited and is in every way a
creditable and praiseworthy publication.
The Messrs. w. P. and E. G. Walton, its
owners and editors, are from Kentucky,
and are experienced newspaper men.
But the most wonderful publication of
them all is Mr. Clarence E. Woods pa
per, printed at Eustis-the EuStis Lake
Region. 1t is marvel of typographical
excellence. In this respect it is excell-
ed by no newspaper in the United States.
Its typographical beauty is not its only
merit, for few newspapers are more fell
citously and meritoriously edited. The
Messrs. Wood and Miller, its editors, are
also Kentuckians.
