Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Parkton, May 17.-Rev. ]. L. Jen-
kins is attending the Baptist conven-
ton at Hot Springs, Ark, this week.
His congregations paid his expenses.
Rev. w. L. Maness is preaching this
week in Fayetteville Person street NJ.
E. church.
The commencement closed Tuesday
night. and it was indeed good one
The exercises Monday night by the
primary department were all to the
good and the building was crowded.
Large crowds attended every enter
tainment and the order was good. Inc
literary address Tuesday evening, de-
livered by Hon. j. A. Oats OF rayette-,
vile, was fine and eloquent, and
brought forth much applause. The
conclusion of his speech was most pa
triotic.
Then came the defamation contest,
which always is interesting. Inc
boys that entered this contest we're
Philip McNatt, Vance McNeill, Oar
row Farrell and William Calhoun. The
girls' contest was as follows: Pear!e
Goodwin, Sarah Walker, Louise Garrls
and Mary Jones. This was some con-
test, as each speaker was on ms Q? OF
her job. The judges were Rev; .. \.
Hall, E. B. Daniel and Mrs. W. =.
Alley. Their job was no easy one, as
especially the four girls were some
what equally yoked, and when you
would hear one YOU would say in your
mind that that one would win. Mr.
Hall made the report on decision and
made most appropriate speech be-
fore stating the winners. He said that
II was no easy job, as all did per-
fectlv we'll, and all deserved prizes,
hut that some one was the winner,
and reported William Calhoun for the
hovs and Louise Garris for the girls,
which seemingly met the approval OF
the large audience.
ONLY three of the high school grad
mated this term, these beng John
Currie. Carl Lancaster and Sadie NC
Kenzie. -
Their diplomas were delivered py
Hon. !. A Oates in most lifting
and humorous manner.
The commencement from start to
finish manifested the efficiency OF the
music teacher, Miss Ina Ammons.
Prof. Edwards reports one scholar as
being present every day Of the school
term. and never tardy single day,
the one was Gadis Hughes.
All of the teachers have returned
to their homes except Miss Crocket,
who will remain over in Fayettev;ile
a few weeks with her sister, Mrs.
Downing.
Rev. W. C. Wallace was a visitor
to our town this week and returned
home this a. m. with his two children,
who have been in school here. They
live at Lake View, S. c.
Mr.. J. M. Johnson has purchaser
the Capt. J. D. Cobb residence on the
corner near the graded school build
ing and will move next week.
The farmers of this section were
never buster than now. Today was
bug-killing day with the potato grow
ers as the weather has been so wet
that the bugs have broken the front
line. If the Allies and American
forces could kill as many Germans
in one day as potato bugs have been
killed today the war would soon come
to a close.
The moving pictures are running
every night since Tuesday night and
all report splendid pictures.
The Red Cross will have rally at
the auditorium Tuesday night at 9
o'clock. The public is invited.
