the High school auditorium. The
entire student body of the school

An eloquent and appropriate ad

Confederate chieftain was delivered
by the Rev. J. M. Airall, pastor of
the Methodist Church.
A feature of*the exercises was
the presentation of a medal for the
best essry on “The Remote and
Immediate Causes of the War Be
tween the States.“ The local chap
ter of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy had offered a. medal for the
best paper cn this subject. The

Following the exercises, the Vet-

trfhnder of Stephen Klllott, where
a bountiful dinner wr-s enjoyed,
which was conceded and executed
in a manner peculiar to the gra

Reed. It was a regulec CocfedeAte
love feast, and will long be remem

It la one of the traditioi* that
have come down almost from times
prehistoric than a cold Winter, with
heavy snowa, means big crops for
the season following. It is not a
mere guess that severe winters as
sure better farm yields; It is a the
ory breed upon the results of long
experience. Hard freezing is appar
ently part of a chemical process 4 the
makes many soil elements available
as plant food. A hard wnter also
destroys, in the larva or egg stage
many bugs aud worms thr-t feed on
food plants. And the heavy snows,
as th«jy gradually melt, send dowr-
nltrogrn to the roots of wheat, rye
and the forage grasses and nour
ishment to the roots of vines and
fruit trees. Winter Is nature’s
great chemical fretory, and the fac
tory is working up to Us full ca
pacity when the tefnperatpre is
down to zero.
This winter, swewping over the
great corn and wheat zoi:»» prr lries,
with Its zero blizzards, means the
laying out before the horning of
millions of grasshoppers and little
green bugs that- occasionally rav
age the whes-t and hay fields. Fall-
seeded wheat sometimes gets w-
ter killed during a severe winter,
but rover if there |a a blanket of
snow to protect the roots from
low temperatures. A cold, snow
bound winter entails hardship, and
suffering upon many, but it ge
ally balances matters by making
way for a prosperous summer and
autumn.
