oundl the little fellow wvell bundledh
p but almost frozen, and carried

myve had him ever~ since, gave him
he name of Patrick Nash Boggs, and

Patrick Nash is a fine looking little
Fellow, and while the identity of his

iis intelligent look andh fine features

fentle people. Now lie is the pride
f Calhoun mid thoy say he is the
'cutest kid in town."

.the last examination, and receive th
long-loked-for diploma.
The student body has been enter
tamed this year by programs by the
different grades. They have been es
pecially fine since the opening 0
spring. Some of the best render<
lately were by Miss Sarah Keith of
the tenth grade in a paper on the
Immancipation Proclamation; read
ings by little Miss Gravely and Miss
Kitty Smith. They have been great
sources of inspiration to all hearers.
The only damper to lessen the
spirit of th e school at the present is
the possibility of school having to
close on account of insullicient. funds
to run on. Unless the patrons come
to the rescue with liberal donations,
it is possible that school will have to
else. 'This will necessitate the con
tinuation of the chlidren ' in their
present grades next year for a period
of two months. It is hoped that
sonme wvay wvill be found to meet this
dlifhculty.--How plain is the fact that
something needs to be (lone for Pick
ens High School. Is it right for pat
rons to sit idly by when they might
bestir themselves and (do somethinig
material for their school and .chil
dren?

menat I have ever seen, the crowdI was
simply immense. The vegy' ~est of
order prevailed during the entire ox
(ereise, which .was a very long pro..
gr-am, to be car~tried out by the chil..
dren. Tfhey did remarkably well
which showed the best of training by
the teachers. The teachers this ses
sion have been Mrs. Mary McComnbs,
Miss Eva Farmer andl Miss Jessie B.
Edlens. AtL the close of the exercis
esc Mrs,. McCombs made a beautiful
short talk thanking the children for
their good behaviour (luring the en
tire session. Years ago Maynard
school house was one of the best and
most commodious school buildings in
the country, but now it is entirely
too s4mall, and the progressive trus
tees are planning to build one of the
very best buildings to be found any
where for school purposes and it is
without doubt one of the very. best
communities ini the county. Alex
Rains, Jinm Ligon and Jipi Findley
are the trustees and that means suc.
cess .in the undertaking. The comn

what they have already and for what
they are goingto have in tho way of
