''Sit down and eat, commanded the
two-headed creature. So the Prince
climbed into a chair that was rs tall as a

the plate ON the table.
Two heads clappcd his hands and
hundreds of goblin-dwarfs came hurrying
with huge plntters of food. whole OK
roasted was placed in front of Two Heads
and a dozen chickens in front OF the Prince
The Prince was glad that the platter
in front of him was piled high with food,
because he could pretend TO be eating
for be knew he would be told TO eat every
thing before him, and that he was sure
he could never do.
Just then nc heard a loud tapping over
their heads, and what was his surprise
TO see the two heads stand up and open
the roof of his huge house and let down
on the floor the very marble castle he had
seen in the Enchanted Forest.
While he was thinking about all that had
happened he looked across the table at

Miss Barnett's Recital.

The senior recital given in
Murrell Auditorium Friday ev-
ening by Miss Roberta Louise
Barnett, of Gallatin, Mo, was
one of the best ever presented
by the Expression Department
in the many years of Central
Colleges history.
"The Battle of the Strong, "
a semi-classic by Sir Gilbert
Parker, had been cut and adapt
ed for Miss Barnett's use, and
served as an admirable vehicle
for her presentation.
The story however, appeared
to the writer as secondary, The
ease and repose of manner and
the charming lack of affectation
first impressed the audience.
There followed a fineSse of pro-
nunciation and a carefulness of
enunciation seldom excelled in a
professional reader, and showed
to advantage very careful work
by her teacher, Miss Berry. Add
ed to these many good points,
Miss Barnett's facial expression
was no less effective, and her
personality a valuable asset. She
pleased her hearers and gave
them a thoroughly enjoyable ev-
ening.

ed that a new brick barracks

whole school of Wentworth will
be on one campus which will eX-
! tend distance of four blocks.
The smaller boys school which
is entirely separate from the
main Academy, has proven very
popular and has been full every
year. Though moved to the main
campus, it will still be a sepa.
rate school, and will have it'
class rooms, assembly halls, etc.
right within it's own barracks
They will however, eat in tn
main mess hall, which will b
enlarged during the summer
The new barracks will be tn

/ years; the first being Marin
Z Hall, the second the new gym
} nasium (the largest in the mic
l die west) and now the new bal
n racks for small boys. All c
which indicates a steady aa
i healthy growth of Wentwort

NOTES OF THE TRIP TO
CHIPLEY, FLA, AND RETURN


Chipley is experiencing nothing of
boom, but real, substantial growth
and prosperity are apparent every-
where. Numerous new bungalows
nicely painted and highly attractive,
are t. be seen in the residence Sec
ton, and a sewerage system is being
laid. The estimated population of the
town before the coming of the pack
ing plant was 1000; an increase of
from 20 to 25 per cent in population
in two years is what the Chipley busi-
ness men say the recent growth
amounts to.
At Chipley Wednesday MORNING
the party decided to continue the trim
to Panama City, on st. Andrews Raw
for a few whiffs of sea breeze. n
glimpse of the gulf, and some real"
oysters. A. c. Crockett and ]. q
King, of Ellaville, decided not tc con-
tlnue the trip and remained in Chin
ley, taking train out at 1918 q. m.
for Americas. The remainder oF tba
party left at 9 O'Clock and reached
Panama City at shortly after Il, a
distance of 81 miles, over some of
the worst roads imaginable, owing to
the deep sand and lack Of upkeep,
IWenty-fOur miles out from Chiniev
the tourists met a genteel looking
travelling salesman coming Nv auto
from Panama City Asked the condi-
ton of the roads from there on and
the distance, he replied " Finest in
the world, 81 miles" 1t was after
wards charitably assumed that the
man, probably not being a user of
profanity and not being otherwise
able to accurately express his opin-
ions, gave the opposite to the true
condition of the road AS for the
distance, he turned out to be incor-
rect by six miles.
The road from Chfpley to Panama
City is along the Atlanta and st.
Andrews bay railroad and character
lied chiefly by towns that were but
are not-lumber towns from which
the mills have been moved, leaving
stores many of them with the fami-
liar signs still appearing, and good
dwelling houses, deserted absolutely.
The first thing "Uncle Billy Mitch
ell and Henry Johnson did at every
stop was to enquire for something to
eat. On reaching Panama City they
were ravenous for some "kicking oys-
ters," right out of the bay. The dis
covery that good oysters were not
produced there, and that all to be had
are shipped in from Pensacola, where
many of the Americas oysters come
