The host of pretty girls, against the background of the tasteful decorations and the Japanese lanterns made a scene of charm and enchantment that will not soon be forgotten. It is con sidered to be the best junior-senior that has been held at P. C. in recent years. ' Not least among the factors con tributing to the success of *the^ ban quet was the well-prepared food which comprised the excellent m%nu. The Woman’s club, which was in charge of this part of the function, may well take to itself a large share of the credit for the pleasantness of the evening. The music, furnished by Gene Wofford and his Collegians, was an added feature that served to enliven preseht^ by two wee fairies, Eliza beth Graham and Frank Bailey, dress ed to suit the occasion. A sage senior- to-be, Wm. Moorhead, dressed in som ber cap and gown, dealt to every one present a diploma—not for entrance to higher learning, bul to give a peep into the future. After refreshments of ice cream and cake were served the strains of “Home Sweet Home" seemed strangely out of place. LAURENS SCHOOL TEACHING STAFF Ft • 4jlty for Next Year Has Been Com pleted.

Big Rat-Killing Staged At Renno. ' {• ■ Tan M. Ray of-Renno, has gone into the wholeMe rat-killing business and if you doubt it, just listen to this rat- tale, every word of which is vouched for to be true. A few days ago Mr. Ray was moving a quantity of hay and com from a barn when he ran into an innumerable multitude of rats, all sizes, young and old. Several ad venturous boys soon appeared on the scene and a real rat-killing began. Within a short while 423 rats had been killed, a supply that Dlled a large guano sack three-fourths full. After the massacre, the victims were buried. The truthfulness of this story is vouched for not only by Mr. Ray and the boys who helped him in the slaughtering, but by several other Renno citizens.
