TIUNTY-BIDGE CLOSING.
Successful Year's Work Closed with
interesting Graduating Exercises
Thursday Evening.
After a most successful year's work,
rlnlty-Hldge school came to a close
last Friday.
Thursday evening, at 8:30 o'clock,
tho graduating exercises took place
at the school building. The names of
the graduates and their essays follow:
Nannie Mae Williams, "Life of Na
poleon."
Wynona Chaney, "The Principles of
a Free Government."
Clyde Barksdale, "Life of Andrew
Jackson."
Mike Parks, "A Plea for Negro Dls
anchlsement".
Ierman Boyd, "Life of Robt. E. Lee."
- Robert Barnett, "Woman, Mere Wo
man."
Marcus Boyd, "The Controllng Ele
ment."
All of the essays were quite good.
After the reading of the essays, Mr.
Jno. D. W. Watts, chairman, of the
board of trustees, made a short but
very interesting talk.
Immediately following Mr. Watts'
talk Mr. J. P. Coats presented certifi
cates to the seven graduates with a
few appropriate remarks.
On Friday, an all-day picnic took
place in tho grove near the Dial home.
A large crowd enjoyed the beautiful
dinner, and the renewing of friend
ships.
During the session just closed, there
have been eighty-five pupils enrolled.
This Is the highest enrollment, by
eleven, that the school has ever had.
The average dally attendance was a
little over fifty. Minnie Irving and
her little brother, J, C, did not miss
a day during the whole session. Min

day in five consecutive sessions.

to know that Mr. Coats has accepted
the prlncipalshlp of the school for]
the session of 1912-13.

Mrs. Mary A. Owens, 218 Forrest
Ave., Greenwood, S. C, says: "I had
rheumatic pains In my shoulders and
my kidneys were in bad shape. My
back ached Intensely and 1 was both
ered by dizzy and nervous spells. Noth
ing Bccmed to help me and as I was
well along In years, I hardly expected
to find relief. Finally I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised and began
taking them. They helped mo at once
and it was not long before 1 was com
pletely and permanently cured. My
experience with Doan's Kidney Pills
has been so satisfactory that I do not
think there is any more effective kid
ney medicine to be had."
