form was also suitable in senti-
ment. The entire service was very
impressive.
The graduation exercises were
held Monday at 8 p. m. in Avenue
Methodist Church. Mr.. G! r. Mes
sick, President of the Board of
Trustees presided presenting in or

of the occasion and L. L. Fitchett,

mas and pins to the graduates COM
plimented them upon the success
ful completion of the Nursing

The main road leading from
Milford to Greenwood has been
greatly improved by first cutting
back the underground, blasting out
the stumps and widening the road
to its legal width, and at the same
time Strengthening the lines of the
road. Then the road has been
plOwed and rounded over to a good
grade, and rolled to a fair basis.
This has made the public road
leading to Greenwood and on to
BFidgeville a very pleasant drive
for automobiles. The sandy road
from Staytonsville, leading to-

has been graded over, and after a
good rain comes to settle it, that
