Mrs. Ne~tdR Watkins
Entertains Her Music Glass

SVSAS0 SNNt AAes0 S0hCN RA9SS 0O10
ing commencement week was the
entertainment given by Mrs.
New ton Watkins to her music
pupils at her home on West Pine
street, Friday afternoon, from
four to half past seven o'clock.
They combined the usual re-
citaI with a social gathering, at
which refreshments were served,
games were played and the en-
tire company Joined in having a
splendid time.
Every thing was in loneliness
for the occasion. The house was
beautiful in its decorations Of
pink flowers, green vines and
nasturtiums and sweet peas were
in profusion in the dining room
and the five tables where refresh
ments were served were beauti.
fully decorated with these.
At half past four they were
called into the parlor where the
music began. The progam con-
sisted of duets, piano solos,
songs, etc. Every one performed
their part well. We wish we
were able to give the names of
the different pieces and the ones
who played them. The playing
of some of the very young pupils
deserve especial mention as they
would have done credit to one of
several years their senior. The
time was fine and not a single
mistake was made by them. The
program was varied and not tire
some.
Each selection was good and
each one did well.
At the conclusion Mrs. Watkins
in a very pleasing little speech
delivered eleven beautiful ''Di-
ploma's of Honor to eleven
pupils. go.
Almost this number failed to
get one not because they hadn't
done good work, but for various
causes, some for sickness and
other reasons. Some of the ad.
vanced pupils whose studies were
such at school they failed to get
in the required number of hours
each week. Mrs. Watkins also
paid a glowing tribute to her
class. AS we'll as we remember
these were some of her remarks,
That having taught since her
girlhood days with the exception
of a few years since her mar
rage, and in some of the best
schools In the state, she had
never had a more amiable, obedi-
ent set of pupils and that the
slightest unpleasantness h a d
never arisen between teacher and
pupil during the entire time. The
ones who received a Diploma of
Honor" were: Pauline Ennis,
Nell McLonghlin, Mildred Skin
ner,' Hattie Lee Walker, Ethel
Dykes Cleo Swearinger, Ruth
Lee, Alma Campbell. Mary Alice
Leath, Lillian Leath' and Forest
Carney.
They were then ushered into
the dining room where the most
delicious refreshments were SER
we'd consisting of ice cream, cake
and etc.
Mrs. Watkins proved herself
not only to possess a tact for
teaching, but we'll versed in the
art of entertaining. Almost forty
guests were present.
Old King Sol had long hid him
self behind the western horizon
when the last ones mended their
way homeward, their hearts filled
with the pleasure of this happy
occasion and which will live in
memory for many days to come.

acres of cane corn standing in tho field
and many farmers have had their sun
ply OF prcvcndcr cut considerably by
tho early frost, which was more than
two weeks in advance of the average
time for n killing frost In this imme-
diate section.
The long continued rains of the latter
part Of September and early during this
month kept the farmers from cutting
the corn. and last week they were ,p-
able to make sufficient Roadway nj their
work TO save all OF the fodder before
1t was caught by the low temperature
In some places the corn was caught
still green, and 1t was bleached In q

may be utilized for early feeding Ex-

little or no damage was done TO the
