Music and Expression Classes and
High School Students Entertain
Large Audiences.

Two of the most enjoyable pro-
grams of the commencement season
were given by pupils of the music and
expression departments on Wednes-
day afternoon and Thursday evening.
The entire program on Wednesday
was given over to the smaller pupils,
and as usual they succeeded in enter
tanning the audience. They rendered
their piano selections and gave their
recitations in a most charming man
ner. There were also several bright
songs and dialogues.
! The high school students gave then
recital on Thursday evening. A large
and thoroughly appreciative audience
was present to enjoy their most ex'
cellent program. The exercises were
varied and reflected the splendid
training the young people had re-
ceived.
Both programs were in charge of
the teachers of music and expression,
Miss Hutchinson and Miss Willis.

U. D. C. CHAPTER TO
RAISE 500 DOLLARS
WILL BE ADDED TO EDUCATION
AL FUND TO HELP DESERV-
ING BOYS AND GIRLS.

The Mary Brantley Chapter, U. d.
c., closed one of the most successful
years work since its organization
with a well attended attended meet
ing Friday afternoon, which was full
of inspiration that came from a re-
view of the worthwhile things accom-
plished as given in the reports of the
different officers.
Miss Bell Cheatham led the devo-
tionals, and the president took up the
business in regular order.
The treasurer's report was most
satisfactory The flower committee
has been active and made good
showing. Mrs. w. R. Wall and Miss
Kathleen Grimes were added to the
committee in place of two lost by
death The gift scholarship work un-
der the direction of Miss Minnie
Bridges was reported to be steadily
growing. A large number of Terrell
county girls and boys have been ben
eficiaries of the fund the past year.
The chairman also reported number
of applications coming in, which must
be turned down unless sufficient sum
is raised at once for the extension of
the educational work so splendidly
begun. Mrs. L. Lamar and Mrs. w.
H. Gurr recently collected $4,000 to
be added to the Confederate memo
rial fund, but Mrs. Gurr, who is in
touch with the county schools and
familiar with conditions, stated that
$500 must be raised at once if the
situation is fully met. Mrs. j. G..
Dean expressed the belief that fifty
people of the county could be found
who would gladly contribute SO
each The following pledges were
made: Mrs. Dean $40, Mrs. D. M.
Dismuke $40, Mrs. L. Lamar $40,
Mrs. w. H. Gurr $25. A committee
will carry forward the work of col
Letting and those so vitality interested
in giving aid to the ambitious young
people of the county appeal to the
public to respond literally.
Since the last meeting the chapter
has lost three members in the death
of Mrs. A. E. Pickett, Mrs B. C. Per-
J. ry ana MIS-. w. II. DdNluSoH.
! In a well written paper full of in
teresting "reminiscences Miss Ruby
Proctor paid fitting tribute to the
memory of jefferson Davis.
Another entertaining feature of the
program was the study Surgical
Treatment of Confederate Soldiers
by Mrs. j. H. Lewis.
A very interesting social half hour
followed, light refreshments being
served by the hostesses for the after
noon.
