for the purpose of raising money with
which to purchase necessary equip
ment for our ball team. Quite a nice
sum was realized and the boys eX-
pect to get busy at once, and you
will certainly hear from the Poole
vile Ball Team" in the near future.
In Friday afternoons matches, John
and Chester Harris were choosers.
Chester Harris won in both the arith-
metic and spelling matches.
The first rehearsal of our next
play, "Tatters", was given at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Herbert on Friday
evening Much interest is being mani
tested in the progress of this play, and
all hope that the performers will soon
be ready for public presentation.
In a spelling match between the
fourth and fifth grades, the fifth
grade won. Misses lrma Freeman and
Racie Simpson carried off the hOnors
and prizes.
For some time many requests that
the Pooleville debating team take for
debate the question, Resolved that
the Treatment of the Negro is Worse
than the Treatment of the Indian,
have been handed in, so that on Satur-
day evening Messrs. Neaves and Her
bert debated ON that question, with
Mr.. Neoves on the affirmative side.
Mr.. Neaves saw actual service in
the civil war. He spoke with intense
feeling, and unconsciously revealed
the spirit of 1861 which time can
scarcely heal in the breasts OF those
who served. Many anecdotes were
given of cruelty to slaves, and, al
though Mr. Herbert met him ably with
tales of the Bloody Trail of the In
dams" and other Cruelties, the yeter-
an soldier, with his fine eyes kindled
with enthusiasm, and his thrilling plea
for pity for the transported savage
race, touched the hearts of all who
heard and won the decision for the
affirmative.
1t is rare indeed that the young
people of Pooleville have the choice
of two diversions for the same even
ing, but this happened on Saturday,
the night of the debate, when Mrs. Roy
Brady threw open the doors of her
home to those who cared to practice
singing for the convention to be held
at Wheeler in the near future. Some
time was spent most pleasantly in
receiving training from Mrs Brady.
Thirty-five miles is a long, tiresome
trip when taken by ordinary means of
