The bill by Messrs. Moore and RoD-

LOCkHART WINS.

The Lockhart High school basket
ball team met the Wesley Chapel High
school team on last Friday afternoon.
After some star playing by both
teams, Lockhart got into the game
proper for the victory. The Lockhart
five soon demonstrated their ability
over the visitors and the game re-
suited in score of 8 to Sd in favor of
the locals. For the visitors, Vaughn
was easily star, shooting six of the
points made by his team. Good and
Broom were the most consistent play
ers for the locals. 1t is a self-evident
fact that Good for Lockhart is a nat
ural-born athlete, and we are depend
ing upon him to feature in Lockharc's
future victories. The fast locals, hav-
ing taken Wesley's Chapel scalp on
Friday afternoon, were smarting for
another victory on Saturday afternoon
when they met the Union High school,
The game was called at $3.50 with a
snap. Both teams were on their toes
for victory. The Union boys played
hard ball to the end, but the star goal
shooting of Good and Worthy and the
fast work of Engle at right guard
proved too much for the Union lads.
The game resulted in a score of 7 to
81 in favor of the local sagain.
On next Saturday afternoon the
Lockhart five will meet the fast Union
High school again on the Union court.
Those who see the game will have an
opportunity of seeing some excellent
High school basket ball.

In the presence of large number
of friends and relatives she was laid

MONDAY MORNING
BUFFALO SCHOOL PATRONS
GIVEN A RECEPTION

Prof. F. E. Shuford, after making
a thorough canvass of his patrons. de-
clded that there should exist a closer
relation between the patrons of Buff
talo Graded school and the teachers.
He, therefore, hit upon the unique
plan of having his teachers to coop
crate with him in giving to the pa
irons of the school public reception
at the school building. All who at
tended the reception last Friday night
are loud in their praises of it's sue
cess.
About loo. were present.
The program consisted of music.
violin solos, vocal solos, quartets.
duets and other musical features, all
OF which delighted the audience.
Short speeches were made on peril
nent school subjects by the county
superintendent, Prof. Jas. H. Hope,
Rev. j; B. Bozeman and others.
AT the close of the program Prof.
Shuford called attention to the fact
that each teacher was waiting in her
room to receive her patrons and to
entertain them further by serving
light refreshments. The patrons then
repaired to the respective class rooms,
where they were delightfully."- enter
tanned.
The principal announced that these
receptions would doubtless become an
annual affair lin connection with his
school work at Buffalo. If so, judg-
ing from the first one, the patrons of
Buffalo Graded school will look for
ward to them with delightful antici-
patton.
