three boys dropped out or did not report. They were the representa- lives of the Old Potter, Old Cove and Grannis schools.
 The words were given out by Prof. T. C. Virgins of the Mena High school, while a number of per- sons as judges watched intently for the missed words. After spelling steadily for three rounds of thirty minutes each. and no one was win ner, it was suggested that all who had missed more than one word be eliminated, and after doing this there remained eight contestants in the race, four of them having a per- feet score and four having missed but one word each. After spelling three more rounds and the noon hour had arrived the contest was still unsettled, there being still two contestants who had not missed a word and three who had missed lOnly one word each. Early in the contest it became evident that the race for first place would be be- tween Miss Ethel Goolsby of Board | Camp, Miss Irma Nichols of Two Mile and Miss Ona Anderson of Oak Ridge. Turnout the entire contest these three remained calm and de- | Iiberate, each spelling with the as surance that indicated familiarity with every word in that part of the speller to have been covered by the contest. Just before noon, Miss An derson, who had stood up remark ably we'll, and seemed good for the end of the race, missed the word serial evidently having mistaken the meaning of the word. This mar rowed the conlcst for first place to Miss Goolsby and Miss Nichols, with Miss Anderson of Oak Ridge, Miss Ceeile Nations of Yandervoort, and Miss Gertrude Perry of Elm Springs in the race for second place. lt was necessary, upon taking up the con- test after dinner, to go ten lessons beyond the hundred selected in order to select the winner. In the final roundup, Miss Irma Nichols of Two-Mile won first place, and ! Miss Ona Anderson of Oak Ridge second. IL is worthy of note that Miss Goolsby, Miss Anderson and Miss Nichols spelled every word that came to them in the hundred les sons that were selected for the con- test. The medals awarded the win ners were donated by the Lochridge Dry Goods Company and the Wat kins Hardware Company.
 The final contest in the series was i that in basketball between the boys team of the Vandervoort schools, and the team from the Mena High school, which was the only athletic event The contest went easily to the Mena team in score of 56 to ?,
