Exhibition
at Davis Ridge

On April 81 the Davis Ridge school
completed a most successful term In
it's history. The exhibition which was
given proved to be a great success III
spite OF the d~isagreeable weather
which prevailed. The rain which be.
gan early in the morning and lasted
the entire day kept many away who
had planned to come, but in spite OF
all this a large crowd was present and
we're fully repaid for their coming.
The people began TO gather about sew
en- o'clock and a very enjoyable even
ing was spent, especially by the young
folks who played games Of different
kinds, for what Is a last day OF school
without them. The exhibition began
about $50. The entertainment con-
sisted OF recitations. songs, tableaux
and dialogues and other things all OF
which were entended TO and did en-
terrain and amuse the audience. Al
though outside the thunder rolled and
the lightning flashed none seemed 10
notice It., so entertaining was the pro.
gram and the round OF applause which
greeted each number showed what the
audience thought OF them.
Two very good dialogues were Civ.
en- by the school and one by the Alpha
Glee club. The one given by the school
although II was short was very anus.
ing and received hearty applause. But
the best number on the program vas
saved for the last, when the dialogue,
"a Poor Married Man. presented by
eight members of the A. G. c., vas
played. This play was a comedy
drama in three acts, was one OF the
best ever seen in the Davis Ridge
school house. The time OF playing
was two hours and during that time
not a sound was heard in the audi
ence, except a prolonged laugh which
was heard from the start until the FIN
ish and when the final curtain was
drawn on the last act a round Of APP
pause greeted the play and the play
ers, the like OF which was never heard
in that school house before, and which
threatened to lift the roof from its
rafters.
When at last the program was over
and the pleased crowd started for their
respected homes, still laughing over
the dolngs and sayings of Prof. John
