THE BRIkkLFY
SCHOOL CLOSING
Grammar School Exercises
Last Night, a Big Sue
cess, With Remark
able Record

This week has been a busy
closing the 1867 term
at the Brinkley school and Prof.
Baumgartner and his splendid
corp of assistants are highly
gratifed at the splendid results
attained.
The examinations have been in
progress thru the week and it is
reported that splendid averages
have been made.
The Grammar School Closing
Exercises, last night, drew a
great throng of people and %
bright young people received
Grammar Department Certifi-
Gates of promotion.
The highest average for the
year in this department was
SO Sc, made by Ike P. Boyer
and the next two highest yearly
averages was made by Jno. F.
Cole and Ida Mary Pipkin. The
class historian, Emmons Mitchell
told in his history that II out of
Sc had been perfect in attend
ance; that there had not been a
single pupil in the Grammar
Grade tardy this year; that
there were only two pupils who
had ever attended elsewhere
than the Brinkley school, all
reflected credit on the very able
teacher of the Grammar Grade,
Miss Louise Dickinson. whose
untiring work is largely respon-
sible for the splendid results in
this department.
The exercises were the finest
| have ever attended in Brink
ley.
Tonight is the High School
night and Hon. H. H. Myers of
Little Rock, delivers the address
to class of 13 bright boys and
girls.

Big Day at Hunter June lst.

AS has been mentioned and as
per the big page ad in this
weeks ARGUS that progressive
neighbor town of Hunter. to the
north of Brinkley, is planning
for a rousing big day on next
Friday, June 1st, when they are
to have a big town lot auction
sale and barbecue dinner cele-
bration.
Hunter is coming ahead faster
than any other little city in East
ern Arkansas. They have the
country around there, they have
the right kind of good people
and they are catching the spirit
of push.
The barbecue dinner will be
served in the Woodlawn Park
while sale goes on by the ladies
of the Hunter Baptist church.
Don't miss this big event.

ing an addition and otherwise i'm
proving the home. Farmer
Davidson was off in the woods
looking after business but Mrs.
Davidson was in command and
everything was running as
smooth as oil. A few weeks ago
l told of having seen the pref
tiest strawberry patch here that
| had ever seen in the county.
Then saw the berries in bloom
this time | saw and tasted the
berries for Mrs. Davidson, in
her very clever and and hospit-
able way, presented us with a
gallon of delicious berries for
our dinner. This strawberry
patch consists of about 2 or 3
acres, and they had gathered
and sold from it 352 crates thus
far this season. They sold the
first at $3.50 per crate and the
greater part of the remaining
crop at $3.0 90, with the wind up
up at $3.50 and a few at $500.
This makes an average of more
than $500 per acre for Monroe
county strawberries and yet our
business men and land owners
insist on forcing people to raise
cotton. But never mind Uncle
Sans war is going to fix this old
crop system to fare We well. :"
But back to the Davidson farm =
M~s = wilson has SO young
and 40 more good
chances. They have just shear
ed 20 sheep and got an average
of 6 lbs. of wool from each or
about $500 per head. They have
so acres of splendid wheat and

~2 00 pc, u possibly $4 cr
