HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI CONCERT

The patrons and friends of the Pear
High School have a rare treat in store
for them at the High School Alumni
concert which will be given Friday
night, March 18th in the High School
Auditorium.
The graduates have organized an
association and each member is work
ing hard TO draw out :. iull attendance.
The hest local musical talent in the
student of the Pearl High School The
concert is being directed by Mr.. A. G.
Price, we'll known vocalist and
graduate Of the school in the class Of
1901. Mr.. Price is very enthusiastic
over the concert and hopes for large
attendance. The general rehearsals
have been very satisfactory and when
the night of the concert arrives every
thing will be In perfect condition.
The object of the concert is to raise
funds to purchase a stage curtain for
the school. The contract for the cur
tain has already been let to Lebeck
Bros. at cost Of $3.50. The curtain
is made Of heavy green velour with
valance. The Alumni Association and
the Parent Teacher Association are
working together to provide some
needed furnishings for the school. The
principal, teachers and pupils are be-
hind the movement and success seems
assured. A victrola, a stage curtain,
a moving picture machine and furni-
ture for teachers rest room are some
Of the things needed. The public is
urged to attend and thus assist in Sc
curing these things for their largest
and most popular schools Next comes
the debate. The purpose for which
these events are given eliminates the
free list" Dr. F. G. Smith, the prin-
cipal, Is trying to make complete
list Of all the graduates Of the High
School with their addresses. He re-
quests each graduate in the city or out
of the city to send him their local
address at once. This information
will be Of mutual benefit to the grad
uate and to the school.
The graduates of the school are re-
quested to meet in the auditorium or
Friday night March 9Th at the close OF
the concert. A membership campaign
has been started and it is hoped that
every alumni will become a member
of the association.

are expected to assemble at the
church to await the coming OF the
Uniform Rank and the subordinate
lodges.
The idea of the committee seems
to be that the service must be made
more impressive as the order grows
older and from present indications
they are in fair way to succeed.
The custom of holding an annual
Thanksgiving service is as old as the
Order. 1t is day set apart by the
Supreme Lodge on which all lodges
and courts OF the order are COM
manded to assemble and give thanks
to the Supreme Ruler Of the Universe
for the many blessings received dur
the year. The members of the Order
in Tennessee have ample reasons for
being thankful during the past year
in Tennessee the Order has thrived
in spite OF war and the severe wealth
er conditions. Tennessee has secured
, magnificent building for Temple
purposes and success along that line
is being realized daily. The Order
has been able to furnish men and
money to the United States govern
ment in no small measure. Almighty
God has been gracious to us as a
! fraternity. What is true Of this
section is true OF every division of
the state. New lodges have been
organized all over the state. Defunct
lodges have been re-instated, the
membership has increased in every
lodge despite the fact that 80 many
men have migrated to the north.
At the first meeting OF the general
committee the following officers were
selected: Prof. j. B. Bate, chairman
E. T. Brown, vice chairman; DR.. S.
S. Caruthers, secretary, Mrs. Mary
Lee, assistant secretary and Mrs.
Clemmie White, treasurer. At a
subsequent meeting, Prof. j. B. Bate
was elected Chancellor Commander of
the day, E. l.. Kinzer, Master Of
Ceremonies and Rev. ]. C. Fields,
Prelate. knight Avant of Stonewall
lodge, Master at Arms, Homer Brit
ton, Inner Guard, Robt. Ralph, Outer
Guard and Mrs. Mary Lee Worthy
Counsellor Of the day. Mrs. Katie
Wilson, Matron, Prof. N. w. Rider
was chosen as organist. With this
splendid array OF talent, there is no
reason why the service should not be
the best ever held in this city.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this gathering and take part
in the service. The members OF the
Order are always anxious to see their
friends on such occasions that they
may see our Lodges and Courts and
learn something Of the great work
being done by the Order In this
State.
This service will begin promptly
at 2:30 p. m. in the auditorium OF
the Spruce Street Baptist Church
Ushers in sufficient numbers will be
on hand to see that all will be COM
fortably seated as far as possible
Grand Lodge and Grand Court Of
ficers will be on hand on this occa-
sion
Visitors from the surrounding
towns are expected to be present
Sir Edward Anthony, Deputy Grand
! Chancellor in Sumner County is ex-
pected to bring a delegation from
Sumner Lodge. Sir T. A. Williams OF
Franklin, who is a member Of the
Pythian Temple Commission Is also
expected to be present with mem
bers Of the Order from that place.

HADLEY SCHOOL NOTES.

There may have been some changes
made in our school that the public
doesn't know anything about. For
instance, DR.. ]. l.. Leach was former
ly one of our medical examiners. He
answered to the call Of his country,
and DR.. L. A. Fisher is now filling
that place temporarily till his return.
He made an examination of the chill
dren of this school some weeks ago in
the discharge Of his duty. He offered
some healthy suggestions which were
carried out in our school,
DR.. c. V. Roman has charge of the
department Of eyes, ears and nose.
In his examination he found several
pupils whose throats, eyes or ears
were effected in some way or another.
These defects were pointed out to the
parent or guardian, and l am quite
sure proper steps will be taken to
remedy these defects. Dr. Roman adj
dressed the pupils Of the second floor
Of this school which was very inter
esting His talk was on these three
subjects: Work, behavior and love
for your country and home. He said,
you can tell an educated man or
woman If his or her life is based on
these three things"
We are always glad to see DR.. Ro
and DR.. Fisher visit our school, More
than two weeks ago we had some
trouble here with back waters. The
front entrance to the building was en-
tirely shut Of Enterance to the
building and yard was gained by CON-
ing in from the rear. In the face Of
all this we came and had good lesson
as usual.

GUST A SMILE"

We are very much in love with
boys. The fact that Jacob had twelve
sons used to impress US immensely,
when on Sunday afternoon our
mother made US read Bible stories,
instead Of promenading up and down
the pavement in front of our home.
At first we rebelled but as the riot
was put down Immediately in first
class order we acQuiesed gracefully,
and once we were not allowed to
make acquaintance with the little
boys In the street, we proceeded to
get acquainted with Joseph and
Samuel and all the little boys Of
Biblical fame.
We suppose that our reason for
liking the male sex came about be-
cause Of the preponderance OF that
sex in our own little family. A girl
with four brothers and no sisters
usually immerges into womanhOod
either with profound respect for or
wholly antagonistic to the male ele-
ment. We are forced to admit that
We immerged respecting the male
element immensely, though we are
an ardent suffragette. OF course
while respecting them, they seem to
intuitively understand that we must
not be domineered over.
Boys are such ripping good form.
They never gossip. They never nag.
They do not cry for little scratch.
In fact we like them because they are
risky. We have landed on top the
coal house at oar old home many a
time with the assistance Of a brother
pulling from above and a brother
pushing from below. or course com.
ing down was an altogether different
matter. After having been helped
into the mischief by them, they LEFT
you to come down as best you could
especially if the avenger in the form
OF your mother was awaiting you
decent. Right here we would lik,
to remark that boys never change
Even when they are forty they art
Just boys grown up, that's all, will
the same boy is tendencies.
A little boy visited us one morning
this week and when he went away h
left US smiling. As we sit down t,
write this story we are still smiling
This little boy is perfect gentleman
A delightfully."-, inquisitive, well bred
boyish boy. AS we opened the doc
, for him, we stepped out on the pore
in negligee to bring in the morning
paper.
7 why don't you dress?" he asked
5 1--WE mean too, Just as soon as W
write this note to your mother" W
/ replied.
8 What are you writing?" We wer
= asked.
= I'VE are answering what she wrot
8 u.s."
: Have you had your breakfast
g mo" we replied.
i I'VE have had our breakfast Ion
8 time ago." we were informed.
