ST. PArRlcK's SCHOOL CLOS
ING EXERCISES.

A splendid audience assembled
at the High school auditorium
Tuesday evening to witness the
closing exercises of st. Patrick's
school.
The program presented by the
pupils was varied and interesting.
Each number called forth we'll
merited applause. Ii was re-
splendent with patriotism, and the
patriotic notice especially brought
forth the genuine love of country,
which is a vital part of true edu-
cation.
Where all was excellence it
would be invidious indeed to make
distinctions, but some numbers
so captivated the minds and
hearts of the audience, that they
must be mentioned.
| The Shaking Quakers, led by
Desmas Schwertley, was such
number. From the moment they
appeared on the stage till their
exit, they captivated the hearts of
the entire audience, and we laugh
indeed to hear their last may"
"The Star Spangled Banner
brought the audience to their
feet. The words were rendered
by Miss Grace Owens i'm her usual
captivating style, and the panto-
mime presentment thrilled our
souls.
While the "Three Things I
Love-" by Chester McCune,
Thomas Mccarthy and Stanley
Atherton held the audience SPELL
bound and gave evoked applause
in splendid voice, Mr.. Atherton
rendered the we'll known words,
land with wonderful pathos
brought tears to many an eye,
when, wrapped in folds of his
country's flag, our own dear
Star 'spangled Banner" with his
mother, old and gray, on the one
side, and his sweetheart, young
and gay, he delivered the chorus.
For today it is not the refrain of
a sweet song, but picture of the
reality, which is facing many
soldier hoy. many a mother, old
and gray, and many a sweetheart,
young and gay.
The closing remarks by Rev.
Father Nolan were very apt. He
laid special emphasis on the fact
that the new parochial school was
not an usurper mid the schools of
Missouri Valley, but an addition
to them, striving for the same
thing, having the same noble
purposes as our other schools,
but following what he and his
community believed to be a SOL
emn obligation: that in the
Training OF the child, instruction
in religion and the other studies
should go hand in hand, for that
they were prepared to make sac
rifices, but that st. Patrick's was
in opposition to the other schools
he emphatically declared NO"
These remarks brought amost
meritable program to a close. II
demonstrated that those in charge
have in the few short months
they have been among us, worked
faithfully and we'll. We are glad
of their advent. We rejoice in
their success, and we hope they
Twill long remain among us, work
ting out their noble ideas in unity
with, if differing somewhat from,
our other schools. We appre-
ciate their efforts and their sac
|rifices, and we assure themet that
they always have our heartiest
Incorporation and sympathy i'm
their work; that they are training
lyOung Americans to love their
country and their country's flag,
was amply demonstrated.
Again we voice our apprecia-
| ton of the excellent program, and
Jour thank for the opportunity af-
|forded us of witnessing it, and
|being both entertained and in

WELL-KNOWN FRESHMAN VISITS
NEW YORK.

Among the many out-of-town promi-
nent Irish-Americans who visited New
York city during Decoration Day week
was Thomas O'Flynn, from Minneapo-
lis, MINI. This hustling young Irish
man combined business with pleasure
on this trip, as he represents the we'll
known business firm Of the Powers
Mercantile Co., being connected with
the firm for more than two years in
2 managerial capacity, having full
charge of their fur department, and
his success from the executive view
point has exceeded his own most san
guine expectations. Mr.. O'Flynn is a
Galway man, coming here when quite
young and previous to his present po-
sition he was connected with Nc
Creepy Co. of this city, for over twen-
ty years, his first start being cashboy.
While in New York Mr.. O'Flynn had
been the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Matt.

EAMONN CAENNT.

The Sunday morning previous to
his execution he attended mass in the
prison chapel and waved goodbye
to his young sister-in-law, Miss Lilly
O'Brennan, who was amongst the GO
women prisoners in the gallery of the
church, arrested because they acted
as Red Cross nurses to the Irish Re-
publican army. The following morn
ing at 3:45 A. M. Eamonn walked UNI
llinchingly through the barrack yard.
Then the woman in the prison heard
the CHASTITY volley and knelt in prayer
for they knew his soul had gone be-
fore his Creator. He died as he lived,
for Irland's freedom.

OBrcnnan, OF Dublin, a daughter OF
the late Francis O'I3rennan, a 'G7 man,
and q great grandnicce of the late
Archbishop Kirby, Rector of the Irish
College, Rome. On the morning Of
their marriage the Papal bcnediction
was cablcd to them. She was a pupil
in his Irish class and became a fluent
Gaelic speaker. Their marriage was
performed im Gaelic by the Reverend
Father McIncrny, who had fastened
from the battle field OF Fontenoy,
where he gave the memorial Grafton,

Atlanta, Ca. Especially The most
famous aggregation Of horses and
drivers ever assembled on race track
in America will take part in the 1917
Grand Circuit races, at the Southeast
ern Fair, October 1920. Trotters and
PAGERS holding world records, and
driven by men whose names stand
highest in the racing world, will com
pete for prizes totaling in value
$4,000.

assure the people of the South a
yearly opportunity to witness the
greatest races on the American CONT
nent 1t has been aptly said that
the Grand Circuit races represent in
the world OF sport what the annual
season OF Metropolitan Grand Opera
represents in the world of music
they have no superior in the world.
The Southeastern Fairgrounds at
Lakewood, as people who attended the
races last year will recall, affords an
ideal setting for the Grand Circuit
races. The fast one-mile track is
built in wide sweeping oval, around
a lake, nesting among wooded hills.
The concrete grandstand has seating
capacity of 5000 people, and overlooks
every point on the course. In fact, to
spectators situated anywhere near
the race track, the horses are visible
during every moment, as the track
circles the margin of the lake for its
entire course.
The racing events will be in charge
of Scott Hudson, chairman of the
racing committee, again this year, and
the eighteen big events will be:
No. 1.-2:14 Glass Trotting,
THE Atlanta Cup $4,000
No. 2.-2:OS Glass Trotting,

If You can spare the space I
would like to thank the kind people
for their answers to my letter Of the
Bird instant headed Pensacola" sew
craL said that they had read the let
ter; one party said: "There is more
truth than poetry in that; another
party said: "Ghat is right; a good
suggestion" and another said: ~
heartily endorse the tone Of that
letter." but none said I have an
empty seat in my vehicle and would
be pleased to have some one to 60
along; or I would be pleased to see
that those people get out to the serv-
ices by having my vehicle carry
them stating what they would be
willing to do. There are so many lit
tie things like that tina we can do
to help the other fellow. The writer
heard some young people talking
among themselves and in answer to
the request Of why someone else was
not there, replied: "She has 90 one
to come with her" Some would like
to 90 and can not go; others can and
won't. What are we going to do?
II any one reading this article
feels like that they could spare a
little time along this line in case they
consider the parties worthy and
would kindly indicate the particular
sphere in which they are willing to
work or the number and the places
| they are willing to carry those that
are unable to pay their way or walk.
it will be a pleasure to the writer to
see them in reference to the matter.
