afternoon and evening, was the most
satisfactory event Of its kind that
every occurred here. The young folks
raised good-sized sum of money

from the outside could have given a
tenth of the satisfaction and close
personal interest as this given by our
school children.
The fun began with the parade
around the courthouse square and
some of the principal streets. Long

was crowded with expectant people,
but it was worth waiting for. Fol-

conveyed the sightseers over the
grounds, intelligently describing the
different attractions, some of which
were as follows:

Dozier as hypnotist. Miss Corneia
