The literary pre- lminaries to choose the Paragould representatives will be held or Thursday and Friday nights of this week at the First Baptist church at eight o'clock.
 While P. H. S. has not always made as high a record for herself in the literary department as in the athletic division of the associa- Iamong the students that the chances for the local institution of learning to capture large share of the honors are exceedingly bright and that by the time for the meet ar rives the P. H. s. team will be one hundred per cent effective in it's efforts and endeavors to cover the name of it's alma mater with efful- gent glory and honor.
 The preliminaries to be held this week will be in the following divi- sions of the literary department: piano, Reclamation, reading and voice.
