Graduated with Distinction.

Th6 Democrat mas received n0WS-
paper clipping from a Lawrence, Mass,
paper relative to Miss Ruth McWhorter,
formerly of South Paris. It will be
remembered that her father, the Rev.
Andrew T. McWhorter, was pastor Of
the Congregational church in South
Paris up to two years ago, when he and
his family went to Lawrence, where he
became pastor of the South Congrega-
tional church of that city. Miss Ruth
entered the high school of Lawrence and
graduated last week with great distinc-
ton. There was an interesting feature
to her graduation which the clipping
above referred to will disclose:
"One of the features of the high
school graduation exercises in the city
hall Wednesday afternoon did not mate
rialize, owing to Misunderstanding be-
tween Principal James D. Horne of the
school and Supt. Bernard NJ. Sheridan.
"The proposed feature was the pre-
sentation of the Washington and Frank
lin medal, the gift of the Massachusetts,
Society of the Sons of the American.
Revolution, to the high school pupt'
who excelled in the study OF United,
States history during the past school
year.
"The winner was Miss Ruth Nc.
Whorter, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A.
T. McWborter, but the popular student
was not presented with the medal be-
cause there was no medal to be pre-
sented.
SIT seems that during the early stages
of the school year, the society offering
the medal communicated with the super
intendent of schools asking IL such an
award would be acceptable. The matter
was taken up by the school committee
and the medal was accepted, TO be given
to the most brilliant student in United
States history. Due to a misunderstood
ing the note Of acceptance was never
sent to the society and consequently the
medal was not received to be awarded
to Miss McWhorter.
"Just before the graduation exercises,
Principal Horne consulted with Supt.
Sheridan, but it was case of one rely.
ing on the other to send the note of
acceptance, consequently 1t was never
sent. School authorities are now In
Communication with the society and
when the medal arrives 1t will be pre-
sented to Miss McWhorter, who was the
winner in spirited competition"
Miss McWhorter also composed the
class ode which follows:
Farewell, Lawrence High dear old school, good
bye!
We must part, the future calls.
Many a busy day, many happy hour
We have spent within thy walls;
So mid work and NAV, tOilinQ day by day,
We at last have reached the goal
Where new lessons walt, In the school Of life,
We now enroll.
Farewell, teachers dearl With q trust sincere
We have followed where you led.
You have helped US on when the way was drear,
And the clouds hung overhead.
We would give you thanks for your service kind,
Thro' the four long years we've stayed.
Though we say goodbye We'll ne'er forget
Your faithful aid.
Good bye, classmates dear Though we say
farewell
From our motto never fall;
And when trials come, let us not forget
Perseverance conquers all.
Though our ways may part and afar we roam,
Whether sun or clouds unfurled,
With willing heart let US do our part
In this great world.

African missionary Visits Snyder

There was large audience at the
Methodist church, last Sunday to
meet and hear DR.. ID. l.. Mumpower
tell OF his experiences in Africa. DR..
Mumpower Is a Medical Missionary
in the Congo Free State, now under
control OF the Belgian government.
He has spent many years there and
has done a good work toward bring
ing civilization and Christianity to
those savage tribes.
He says II takes time and patience
and tact to lead those people to de-
sire enlightenment. They have their
tribal customs and heather religions
which can only be dislodged by care
full leading. When they succeed in
getting a native won over to the
Christian religion he makes an en-
thusiastic force in presenting the
gospel to Others, but IL takes time.
Dr.. Mumpower and his family have
suffered much deprivation and have
been subjected to dangers from ma
tives from wild animals and from
diseases that prevail there. He has
been back in the U. S. A. for two
years and will go back in July to the
field OF his life work.

The Richardson Echo, published
by Sam Harden. Secretary of the Tex

The old Bailey idea of treat 'em
rough was carried into the gathering
held by the abbey clan in Dallas last
Saturday. One of the main spokes-
men for the meeting applied rather
obscene language to the governor OF
Texas. This class of campaigning
used to get a crowd somewhere, but
not in these days of modern politics
and saner thought. The crowd was
split on the gentleman's remarks;
this coupled with an address from
Oscar Galloway, another Bailey
leader. predicting the defeat of Bal
ley in the July convention. and all
this added to the steady downpour
all day. caused the followers of the
Mighty Joe to be rather down spir-
