Toward the end of the week, little

On Friday evening, June A, Miss Alma
Huddleston entertained at dinner in her
home on South Ninth in honor of Prof.
Hatch, principal of the city schools in
Pascagoula, Miss. 1t was very lovely
affair and everyone seemed to enjoy
the delicious repast. The guests were:
Misses Geneva Brown and Bonnie Mae
Burks, teachers in the local city schools,
and Prof. Polk, principal of the Queens
burg school. Of course Prof Hatch was
the guests of honor. Being a single man
and deeply impressed with Miss Hud-
dleston's lovely voice, and her personal
ity in general, we might guess his real
business in Laurel. Incidentally, how
ever, he was present at the graduating
exercises of the city schools the same
night. Immediately after the exercises
another entertainment was given in his
honor at the home of Mr. Blalock on
South Sixth Avenue. 1t was very highly
enjoyable affair, and we all hated it
when the music struck up Home, Sweet
Home" Prof. Hatch left the followin
day for Chicago via Meridian, where he
will take up summer study in the Uni
versity of Chicago.

me as she really pitied me. Yes, the or

thing that they may enjoy without US

should allow the schools to bow or
should we bring them up to the schools.
