In Brother Richardson we had
a devoted brother and constant
attendant at his post as Treasurer
Of this Lodge and one who was
true to the craft from organiza-

Brother Richardson was born

month old when the Lord took
him away.
He joined Hebron Baptist

FRANKLuNTON, La, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 49, 1919
Franklinton High School
Notes.

The lecture by MIR. Damron
Thursday night was quite sue
cess. He is skillful potter as he
demonstrated in his modelling of
a variety of ancient vessels. Dur.
ing the time he made his pottery
he explained every step and gave
q very good lecture containing
verse from Longfellow, Van Dyke
and ether we'll known authors.
Mr.. Damron displayed a very
good variety of porcelain and
China ware and told of the mater.
ial, workmanship and value of
each piece. The most interesting
of his china was a plate of the
same style as that used in the
White House. 1t was of the best
make to be had anywhere, the
set of which it was a model, being
chosen by Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
about a year ago to supply the
White House. Mr.. Damron ex-
planned the difference between
American and European china
ware, and advised the people to
buy the American made in pref.
erence to the other, not only be-
cause patronage of American fac.
tories is necessary and patriotic,
but also because American ware
is a better grade of material. He
compared the different grades of
pottery to persons with different
amounts of education, stating
that person having a college
education was bstter prepared to
stand the tests of life than person
with an elementary education.
Mr.. Covington has been for the
last few days, investigating the
roll of students in the school, and
noting their ages, grade and gen.
eral standing, He found by this
investigation that, out of four
hundred and fifty five pupils en-
rolled for the month of Septem-
ber, there were only two hundred
and thirty nine normal pupils, or
pupils who are in the grades that
they should be in at their respec.
tive ages; there were eleven who
are above normal, having reach
cd their grades younger than is
required; and there were two
hundred and five below normal,
being in grades lower than they
should be at their respective ages,
The next problem is to seek and
remedy the cause for this delin.
quency.
The High school was favored
with a song by the Boys Glee
Club Tuesday morning. The
members of this recently organ
lied band are taking great inter.
est in their singing, as they know
that it will prove both a pleasure
and benefit to them. They are
cooperating with Miss Milligan
in trying to have ready at any
time they may be called upon, en-.
tertainment for the high school,
Miss Milligan is also organizing
a Girls Glee Club which will soon
be prepared to furnish a program
for the school. Both of these
clubs are very loyal in trying to
make their work q success.
The local basket ball team has
sche duled game with Tylertown
for Friday November 18th, the
boys are now putting forth every
effort to prepare themselves for 8
victory, although this game viii
be- played at Tylertown but never
theless the corporation and loyal
support of the citizens of the
town and community will go will
the home players, encouraging anc
helping them.
