SOCIAL AND PERSONAL
High School Glass Night.

On Tuesday night, May Is, 1915,
the High School seniors very ably
entertained an interested audience
with their class night exercises.
Preceding the entertainment of the
evening Miss jeanne Garth admir-
ably rendered several we'll chosen
piano selections.
In his address, as president of the
class, George Meadow, made an
earnest appeal to his classmates to
fulfill all their High School teach
ings in becoming real men and wo-
men. In announcing each speaker
he showed a great degree of origin
atty.
Lila Caldwell, as historian, brought
forth facts, probably forgotten by
those whom they most nearly con-
cerned, which brought forth many
ripple of amusement and applause
from the audience.
AS pOeI, Vllld WulCoOh "ouiu
have made Bryant sit up and take
notice by her parody on his "Thana-
topsis."
Following this the class musician,
Jeanne Garth, rendered another ex-
quisite selection in her inimitable
manner.
The prophecy, by Vivenne White,
was a marvel Of futures lovely-and
unlovely.
Beauchamp Mcconnell, in very
appropriate address, presented to
the school and board of education
the beautiful gift of the class, a
statute of Hebe, goddess Of youth.
DR.. Miles, with few well-chosen
words, recited it.
All kinds of surprising marvellous
gifts were presented to the class by
Kate Kirkman as giftorian,
Willie B. Forester, as bone ora
tor, brought down the house by his
witty sallies. At this point the
juniors were invited to the stage
when Miss Mary Lee Rogers, as class
president, met the advances Of the
seniors with a few pointed remarks
on behalf of the juniors.
The evening was closed with the
school-song, alma Mater" rendered
| by the two classes.

Delightful Children's Day.

Childrens Day last Sunday at
Obion Chapel was largely attended,
splendidly rendered and literally
contributed to this important col
lection. The songs, Rotations and
pantomimes by the children and
young people were very elevating
and entertaining. The short ad-
dresses by the superintendent, E. F.
McSpedden, and the pastor, Rev. H.
B. Terry, were suggestive and in
spring. Protracted meeting will be-
gin at this church the third Sunday
in August. The pastor will be as
sisted by Rev. J. ]. Thomas, of Mar
tin.

On May IL at the commencement OF
the Memphis Conference Female 1nsti-
tute of Jackson, Tenn, fifteen young
ladies graduated from the literary de-
partment, and one received English
certificate; two graduated in the piano
department, one in expression, and an
other received art certificate. This his
toric school, which was used as hos
pital during the Civil War, and has
alumnae all over this nation and some
in other nations, has until now only
nominally belonged to the Memphis
Conference, but the title has recently
been transferred in fee simple to the
Memphis Conference, and it is expected
that the school will be much developed
in the near future. The attendance OF
students has much increased during the
last one or two sessions.

which has formerly met at Vanderbilt
University, will this year be held in the

large audience was present and the pro-
gram was we'll timed Everyone of the
little girls and OF the older ones acquit-
ted herself beautifully and with the we'll
earned distinction that comes from prac-
tice and application to study. Every
one OF the performers received the most
generous applause and approval. Miss
Beulah Allen is good musician and a
painstaking teacher. She has been en-
trusted with the musical education OF
quite a number of the girls and boy 8
OF Union City and her work has re-
ceived the highest appreciation. 1t is
hardly possible that one deserves special
mention more than another, but the
songs by Vivian Woodrow and Louise

ing effect, and Brownie Massey brought
down the house with his violin num-

NEW ADDITION TO OSSIAN.
w. p. Mullaney Has Ground Survey.
ed for New Addition.

w. P. Mullaney is taking step
in the right direction-one that will
add to the building up and growth OF
Ossian. He has decided to open
new addition, and while the addition
has not yet been named, we'll ven
ture to name it "Mullaney's Addition
to the Town of Ossian."
A few weeks ago the surveyors
were over from DEBORAH making a
survey of the addition, but the
ground being frozen too hard at that
time, the completion of the work
was postponed until later.
We haven't the data and figures
at hand, but the new addition will
run north and south. The street will
be opened at the west end of the
Mullaney grove, near the ball park,
on the Ossian-Calmar road, running
south two or more blocks, as occa-
sion may demand. The street will
be fifty feet wide, which will be am
pie room for four foot walks and ter
races on either side, besides leaving
ample room for nice driveway. The
lots will be $50 fest deep and so feet
wide. Several of the Mullaney build
ings will be removed to make way
for the new addition, on which the
work will commence as soon as pos
sitle. 1t is a beautiful location, in
fact, nearly the only desirable loca-
ton left in the town. The ground
is high, dry and level, and the lots
should sell readily.
Ossian has grown in the last five
years, and the opening Of several
other additions will help it grow
more. The towns growth has been
retarded for want of residences and
desirable gound to build them on.
There are two other desirable spots
in town that could be utilized in this
way, the owners of which ought to
get busy at once.
With Mullaney's addition, the new
dwellings to be erected by carter,
and several other new residences in
course of erection by individuals, the
scarcity of dwellings for rental pur
poses will be greatly relieved and the
wants of tenents supplied in Ossian.
Let the good work continue.-Os-
sian Bee.
