just closed a very successful session.
The commencement sermon was
preached in the Methodist church
last Sunday morning by Rev. f. l..
Crystal. The closing exercises were
held in the City Hall last Monday
night. The graduating class was
not so large as in previous years.
owing to the fact that several of the
older boys had volunteered in their
country's service. However, the
school has prospered under the SUI
perintendency of Prof c.. P. Smith
and his corps of excellent teachers.
No town in north Mississippi has
cause to be prouder of her high
school than Aberdeen.

Great throngs have attended the
Chautauqua this week. Every pro-
gram has heen rendered with fdel-
ity to advertisements by artists in
their respective lines. Chautauqua
entertainments, because of their
high moral and educational worth,
are the crying need of the present
day. The public is being too much
imposed upon by shows of various
questionable character-sh shows that
do not educate nor elevate to the
higher planes of life. The Chau-
tauqua entertainments are censored
and are clean. That is the best rec
ommendation that any show can
have to commend it to the public.

Grief for that mother, what tongue
can tell A gnawing emptiness at
the heart-an anxious longing for
her return. None can comfort the
grief for mother, nor assuage the
wounded heart. Friends in vain
murmur sympathy. The face that
so often smiled even in moments of
distress or suffering is now hidden.
and human grief shuts out the
bright sunshine OF life. Only the
memory of the happiest and hottest
associations of bygone years bursts
through the rift in the clouds.
There are echoes of songs that
are sung no more; tender words
spoken by lips that are dumb;
blessings from a heart that is still
an unforgotten prayer. and out
yonder in the quiet church yard
mother is sleeping there.
