Closing Exercises Of
Sublimity Schools

That the closing exercises of the Sub
Unity schools are always interesting,
iS fact well known to a large portion
of this papers readers, but the exer-
cises closing the school for this yeat,
held in the c. T. hall Sunday, were, in
the opinion OF the writer, ahead of any
we have attended for some time. The
fact that there were eighteen graduates
in the class. and that one Of them had
the highest rating of any of the Sth
grade graduates in the county, while
another stood third in the list, gave ad-
ded' interest to the occasion.
The hall was packed to overflowing
with interested parents, friends and
spectators, all enjoying to the fullest
the extensive program.
Orchestra music was furnished by
Messrs. Hueberger and Susbauer and
MISS Doerfler.
There was the usual number of songs,
recitationS, etc., all pleasing and we'll
rendered. "Tnere Was Little Girl, )"
an Operetta, was an amusing affair,
which taught q lesson. 1t was well
given by the children. Recitations by
John Susbauer and Miss Hermens show
ed careful training on the part of the
instructors. and were both well received
by the audience.
The song by the High school class,
Come Where the Lilies Bloom, " was
given in an excellent manner, and re-
ceived an encore. The drama "Where
Pride Leo" was of especial interest,
as it was composed and dramatized by
Miss Florence Denny, a member of the
class, who eXcellently took the part of
Mrs. o O'Donnell. an Irish lady. Sim Et-
eel, as Mr. Couldbe. and Angelne Her
mems, as Mrs. Couldbe, the parents of
a large family carried their parts we'll.
Miss Prange as Claire, the eldest dau-
ghter, whom pride led to blame the
breaking of a dish on a little sister,
and who afterwards acknowledged her
fault and was forgiven, did extremely
well in her part.
All others in the play had their parts
well learned and gave an exhibition
that would be a credit to older and more
experienced persons.
The song, "Roses," by members of
the Sth grade class, was given in very
pleasing manner, Henry Steinkamp,
valedictoran, gave his address in poet
zeal form. 1t was full of good thought
and well presented.
Hon. Z. F. Carlton, assistant super
intendent, gave an interesting and in
structive address, impressing upon the
graduates the value of "Service" in
making their way through life.
County Superintendent Smith follow
ed with brief address, congratulating
the people of Sublimity on the excell-
ence of their schools, and the teachers
on the good work accomplished. He
then distributed the diplomas and pre-
sented Miss Ida Koenig with a medal
won in the county spelling contest.
Rev Father Lainck thanked the Wis
itors for their presence, congratulated
the parents on the excellent showing
of the schools and encouraged them to

HARRY 4. WATSON
TO LEAVE CDNSOL
Successor AS West Virginia
| Manager Is c. H.
Tarleton.

E. R. Lyon, general manager OF
operations OF the Consolidation Coal
company, announced this morning the
appointment of Calvin H. Tarleton as
manager Of the West Virginia division
OF the corporation to succeed Harry
II. Watson, who has resigned to de-
vote his time to the development OF
some coal property Of his own. The
official announcement OF the pending
change, which will go into effect May
!, included a note to the effect that
Mr.. Watson had intended to retire
from the service OF the Consolidation
at the first OF the year, but that he
agreed to remain few months longer
at the request of the general operating
officers OF tho company.
The new head of the West Virginia
mines began life as a mule driver
IS years ago. He did not remain In
that humble position, however. for in
a short time he was full fledged min
or, His next step was to the respon'
sibilities OF fire boss at the CASTOR
mine near Fairmont. From that he adj
vanccd to the assistant mine foreman
ship and finally the foremanship.
In 1908 he was appointed the gen.
cral mine foreman to New England
and CASTOR mines serving in that ca.
pacity with George,-T. Watson who
was superintendent OF those, mines
from 1901 to 1906. In 1906 Mr.. Tarleton
was advanced to the position OF d.
vision mine inspector and short time
later was made chief mine inspector
OF all mines In the West Virginia d.
vision and in 1909 was promoted to
superintendent OF mining for the
same territory. which position he has
held until the present appointment.
His many experiences from the be.
ginning of his coal mining career un,
til tho present have admirably fitted
him with direct intiDnte knowledge
OF all the mines in this valley. Mr..
Tarleton has for years been consid-
cred an expert on mine ventilation
and sanitary conditions, and has de!
voted great deal Of his time and
direction towards improving safety
conditions and arrangements. He Is
not only personally acquainted with
the management OF each mine, but
with the employees as we'll, and Is
held in the highest esteem by them.

TO VOTE MAY e
Eyes of Good Roads Enthu.
siasts Now Turned to

The date OF the road bond election
in Grant district has been fixed by
the county court for May %. May 20
was the first possible date that could
have been used, as the law requires
30 days notice after the publication
of the petition. But because of May
20 being on Saturday. it WAS thought
more advisable to fix the date for the
following Tuesday, which Is May %.
The result of the special election
In Lincoln district is being eagerly
awaited by tho good roads workers
all over the county. This election IS
10 be held on Wednesday, of next week
which is April 26. The coucensus of
opinion throughout the district seems
10 bo that the bonds will carry by 4
large majority. The fact that both
Fairmout and Warrington districts,
which are OH each side Of Lincoln.
have practically all of their roads i'm
proved, has by contrast influenced the
voters of Lincoln district to consid'
erable degree.
The leading citizens throughout the
entire district are thoroughly convin'
ced of the benefit to be derived by
the whole community by permanent
improved roads and the majority be-
lieve that the bond plan Is the most
practical of any method Of building
them.
