FEgRIpaY HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES,

On last Sunday evening, the
hearts of all were made glad, as
the first Commencement of the
Ferriday High School, was open
ed with a Sermon by The Rev.
Joseph Kuehlne, Rector of The
Trinity Church, Natchez Miss,
who rendered a most elegant SER
mon, which was enjoyed very
much by every one. Mesdames
Goudchaux, Hodges and Allen
gave appropriate solos. The quar-
tette by Mrs. Hodges. Mrs Fos-
ter, Or. Stewart, and Mr.. Wales
was indeed a great tribute to
Musical talent.
On Wednesday evening the
primary grades, under the super
vision of Miss Harmon, presented
Cinderella, giving splendid
credit to their teacher in playing
their parts so well. The second
part of the program" Midsummer
Eve" was presentedby the inter
mediate and Grammar grades I'M
der the supervision of Miss Murf
and Miss Holderman. These
teachers deserve a great deal of
credit for the splendid evening
entertainment. In conclusion
Professor Hooker presented the
following students with certifi-
Gates of Promotion from the
Grammer school to the High
school. Ilene Ormsby, Margaet
Pekins, Roda Pasternack, Elenor
Crothers, Doris Casper, Eunice
Pestridge, John David King, and
Joseph Roberts.
Thursday night the Graduating
exercises were held. All were
looking forward to this night with
pleasure, although the graduating
class was small we are proud of
them and have all kinds of faith in
their ability to make for them
selves a place in this world of
which any one would be proud.
Helen Gorham and Ray Stewart
had the honor of being the first to
graduate from this school. Ray
read the welcome address which
was enjoyed by all present and
Helen read the past, present and
future, which was very witty and
should her prophesy come true we
shall turn out from our school a
boy and girl for all the higher
walks of life. The address of the
evening was given by the Rev.
Saunders on the Methodist church
Natchez on True Friendship"
in which he brought out some
very helpful hints. He kindly
offered his services to come back
and visit US again which we
accepted with pleasure. Supt.
Stricken delivered the diplomas
in a very elegant and charming
way, telling them that they were
the first to be so highly honored
from this school, also what splen-
did advantages await the others
who are to follow.
The High School girls sang
several songs, which were great
lily appreciated. We wish to thank
the faculty for the results OBJ
tanned through their earnest eff
forts and patience this year.
The Ferriday High school has
just installed an electrict light
plant that will add greatly TO the

Natchez does not seem to care
much for the comfort of our people
who have unfortunately to do
their shopping in that burg.
Their narrow and dusty streets
are an abomination, no sprinkler
has been under the Hill, that we
know of, since last year, and
many people have their clothes
ruined by the filthy dust. what's

BRANCHES MUST CLING
To The VINE Or PERISH

AT the Sacred Heart cathedral last
night Rev. Father O'Callahan, 0. S. 3.
OF Washington, who has been preach
ing special sermons during Lent, spoke
on the unity OF the Christian church.
In the course of his discourse he said :
Besides the written Gospel which
has been handed down from Apostolic
times in the great treasury of the
church. there fs that greatest of all
treasures. tradition, or the unwritten
word of God Many in their quest for
the great truths of Scripture are told
that they must not only search the
Scriptures according to their own
private judgment. but must also delve
into the inexhaustible treasury of ira.
dition with the same flickering light.
'One faces the most impossible OF
tasks, for surely 1t is difficult enough
to discover the whole Gospel of Christ
a complete statement and the church
could be nothing in fact but Christ
perpetuating himself among men. He
must have remained as the Vine as
he calls us the branches.
Essential unity is in the root and
trunk of the vine and not in the
branches. If the vine is destroyed no
human effort will ever bring it to life
again If there ever was a church of
Christ on earth, this church will con-
tinue to the end. Individual Christia ne
or groups OF individuals may be it's
branches but the branches cannot con-
stitute the vine. Either they must al

they will wither and die

the substance of the inference drawn
here from the cable dispatch of Karl

correspondent at Berlin. containing
the text of an alleged secret agree

Should Mr.. Won weilsnId.'s dispatch
be confirmed and 1t was suggested
here tonight that this government
had an inkling of supposed secret
treaty between England and Turkey.
the entire Turkish question, which
still awaits solution, may take new
turn. President Wilson has already
declared that the Turk must be ex-
PEELED from Europe, and it would in
deed be a surprising thing were it
finally established thai while the
president was still in France, Eng
land entered into a pact with Turkey
whereby she would be granted con-
troll of the Dardaneiles In return for
permitting the sultan to remain in
Constantinople.
There is nothing here to show that
the treaty was signed.
France, with her extended inter
ests in Constantinople, would have
cause for the greatest resentment.
