Christmas Entertainment at Jen
nin0s Mill Public School.

Reported for The Robesonian.
The first Christmas enterta inment
Of the season that we have heard of
was given by the children, of the pub
lie school Of the Jennings mill village,
taught by Miss Dovie Prevatt and we
doubt if there will be a better, more
thoughtful or more timely entertain
ment given anywhere during the Yule-
tide. This schooA is largely composed
of the children and young people of
both the morning and evening Sunday
schools Of that cheerful and prosper
Gus little village.
We wish we had time and space to
give the entire program as most ex-
cellently selected and rendered. The
large hall was appropriately decorat-
ed and crowded to it's utmost capacity
| Miss Prevatt is happy in her selec-
tions and in training. The children
are unusually bright and gifted in ren.
dition. We want to congratulate not
only Miss Prevatt on the excellent en-.
tertainment given, but the fathers
mothers and children on being for
tunate in securing the services o:
such an able instructor and trainer.
