Hi-Y Banquet

One of the enjoyable occa-
sions of the week was the Hi-Y
banquet given by the boys at
the school house Tuesday even
ing. It was planned and execut-
ed as Father and Son meeting
and plates were laid for about
fifty guests there were no alb
sentees.
About seven o'clock, the
guests began to arrive and some
little time was spent in pleasant
conversation, but not for long.
Master Sam McCool, the presi-
dent and Master Of Ceremonies,
soon noted that the guests were
all present and invited them to
the girls play room, adjoining
the domestic science department
In a few we'll chosen words he
set forth the purposes of the
meeting and introduced Elliott
Beatty who made a short talk
welcoming the guests. Mr.. l..
P. Haley responded in his char
acteristic manner to the delight
of those who heard him.
The next in order was a sump-
tuous repast, faultlessly served
by the domestic science girls
under the direction Of their
splendid teacher, Miss Jackson.
This, we fear, was mistake.
No, the error, if it be one, was
from another source. Some OF
the boys whose fathers were
absent had invited certain young
men to be present instead.
From remarks overheard we
fear that attempts will be made
to persuade some Of these young
ladies that a high school educa-
ton is unnecessary especially
when domestic science is so
we'll understood.
After the repast, short talks
were made by several of the
young men and others. The
speech of the occasion was made
by Hon. R. j. West, who made
a splendid address which might
be called a sermon. The last OF

The residence of Mr.. Jess
Bean was burned Sunday after
noon. The fire originated on or
near the roof, and when dis
covered was under such head
way that it was impossible to
save the house. Most of the
effects in the lower story were
saved, but nothing was saved
from the second story. The fire
engine arrived in due time but. a
defective spark plug kept it
from working properly for a
time.
Our sympathy goes out to
Mrs. Emma LaGrone in the
death of her sister, Miss Pattie
Bennett, who passed to her re-
ward last Friday. The deceased
had been in bad health for years
and had long been SO afflicted
that she was seldom seen away
from home. Since we have
known them, these two sisters
have lived together and much of
the time alone. Saturday the
remains of Miss Pattie were laid
to rest in the cemetery at Union
church, Rev. J. H. Brooks
officiating.

the series of talks will be
made at the Methodist church
Sunday night when Rev. J. H.
Brooke will preach a sermon
teaching the feeling which
should exist between father and
son. Anf
From expressions overheard,
we believe that the fathers
would be delighted to see these
meetings occur more frequently
especially if the domestic science
girls would be willing to serve
graciously as was the case Tues
day evening. What say you
girls?
