the patrous showed that they were
proud of their children?and justly.
They have full right to be.
Rev W II Hodges of Georgetown ;
preached the sermon to the graduat- j
ing class on Sunday morning. The!
sermon, from the text, "But Daniel i
purposed in his heart that he would j
s. tot defile himself with the portion j
of the king's meat, nor with the wine j
wnicn ne arans, was eloquent auu >
exceedingly appropriate. Rev Mr'
Hodges preached again Sunday evening.
Both sermons were evidences of
the ability and power of the preach..
er. Uuiou church choir rendered ex- (
cellent music prepared especially for
the occasion at both services.
On Monday evening "Miss Matil- '
da's School" was rendered by the '
primary grades. It was a remarkable
success and a fitting testimony of the '
ability oi Miss FiCUtis. the primary .
teacher. "The Isle of Jewels''was i
aiso given on this evening, in which ,
were pupils from the fourth to and :
including the eighth grade. Scenery, j
costume and pupils formed one;
charming effect of beauty. 'Twas a 1
glimpse of fairy land as beautiful as,
artist's pen ever pictured. The success
was made possible by the skill
aud effective efforts of Misses Dibbk-,;
Marie Rivers and Sisson, who labored
untiringly in training the
children.

truths he presented.
To the class of 1909 Wednesday
evening was the occasion of all occa
siODs. The stage was handsomely
decorated in. white and -blue, the
class colo:3, and with pot plauta,
geraniums and ferns of every description,
and the effect was unusu
ally pleasing. On the stage were the
graduating class, the teachers, the
trustees and Rev T J Clyde. 'Twas
profoundly inspiring as number af

The music consisting of duos,
quartettes and sextettes was furnished
by Miss Bessie Rivers, the
music teacher, and her many pupils
during Tuesday anu weunesuay
evenings' programmes. Two pianos
were used and, in fact, the music
was one of the special features of the
commencement. Miss Rivers and her
pupils received many fitting compliments
oil the skill and talent displayed.
One of the pretty features
of the closing exercises was the presentation
to Miss Rivers by the
church choir at the close of Sunday
evening's service of a handsome parasol
as a token of their love and esteem.
On the whole the exercises were
all that could be wished. Everything
was favorable for success. The large
auditorium, seatiug four hundred,
was crowded every evening, wefher
perfect, and the children e

Men past middle life have fouud
comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney
Remedy,especially for enlarged prostrate
gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L E Morris,
Uexter, Ky, writes: "Up to a year
ago my father suffered from kidney
and bladder trouble and several physicians
pronounced it enlargement of
the liver and advised au operation.
On account of his age we were afraid
he could not stand it and I recommended
Foley's Kidney Remedy,
and the first bottle relieved him, and
after taking the second bottle he was
uo longer troubled with this complaint."

1904 in an old building which had
formerly been used as a store with
an enrollment of about fifty or sixty,
and closing in 1909 with nearly
three hundred on the register in
one of the finest school buildings in
the county. The teachers were all
elected for the next school term,
but to the sorrow of pupils and parents
alike, Miss Chandler aud Miss
Elam resigned their positions. Miss
Chandler is au enthusiastic, capable
music teacher and the amount of
work accomplished by her classes
this year is little short of marvelous.
In Miss Elam also the school has
sustained a great loss. The school
deeply regrets the loss of these
teacher whose places, will be hard to
to fill.
The following pupils wou medals
from the various classes:
N Davis, scholarship; Watts Venters,
scholarship; B Newell, behavior;
Blondel Cocktield, scholarship;
Wilrna Huggins, literature; Eva
Venters, advanced music; Cornelia
Cocktield, beginners' music.
