Thc preliminary oratorical contest of the Richland school, held Friday evening, was one of unusual interest und despite threatening clou.ls quite a large gathering crowded the audi torium to its utmost capacity. The elaborate program published in last week's Courier was announced by J. P. Stribling and began with the thrilling patriotic chorus, "America, the Beautiful." by the school, fol lowed by prayer by Rev. Dr. An drews, of Westminster. Then came the rontest. in which Miss Lon Kilon Bell won first place among the little girls, her recitation being "Startling [{evolutions." Little Miss Annie Lou Maxwell's rendition of '.Little Or phan t Annie" won for her the second place. Among the boys of Ibo pri mary grades Harry Gillespie, with "The Thanksgiving Blessing." won first place, and Drukell Maxwell,with "Little Perry's Awful Threat." won second, In tho contest ol' pupils of tho high school dopa rt men I "Ma randa on Making Ibo Best of Things" was delightfully given by Miss May I ii o Dendy, who was awarded first place among the girls, and "The Famine." by Miss Myra I ?ri vcr, ga ve her second place.
