j JOHNSONVILLE GRADED SCHOOL \
Johnsonville, May 22:?The closing
exercises of the Johnsonville
Graded school were held here Thursday
and Friday, evenings of this
week.
On Thursday evening a very interesting
and amusing play was presented
by the pupils of the higher
grades to a large and appreciative
audience.
On Friday evening another inter?i.:

eSUIlg yiugiailimc new
rendered to a large crowd, after
which the literary address was made
by ex-Lieut-Gov T G McLeod of
Bishopville. Mr McLeod said were
he asked to suggest a symbol of
education, it should be an interrogation
point, and if he were asked to
inscribe theron a motto, it should be
the one word, "Why?" In his
enlargement of this theme he said
that all education is the direct res alt
of intelligent questioning, and was
particularly happy in his remarks
throughout the discourse. He del;ghted
his audience, and Mr McLeod
will always find at Johnsonville a
glad welcome.
After his addre^ Mr McLeod was
? : called on to deliver a certificate in
J music to Miss Rowena Adell Eaddy;
I . a medal in music, Miss Birdie Eaddy
for the greatest progress in music
during the session; and prizes in
spelling for the highest averages in
. the 5th, 6th and 7th grades as follows:
Eva Tanner, Albert May Ead.
dy, and Ella Russell Poston, respecfttralu
.

Mr McLeod was particularly
pleasing in his remarks to the winners
of these certificates and prizes.
_ There were no graduates from
the high school this year on account
of the school having put in the
eleventh grade.
Johnsonville having recently voted
to issue $15,000.00 in bonds for the
erection of a modern school building,
the architects are now engaged on
plans and specifications and we hope
to have the building ready for the
next session of school.
For the session of 1915-16 the following
teachers have been re-elected:
Misses Elise Rollins, Myrtle
Poston, Henree Newell and Gertrude
Culberson. The principal and masic
teacher not yet elected.
At a recent meeting of the build^
ing committee and members of the
Methodist church it was decided to
commence at once the erection of a
modern and commodious church
building which will be a credit to
Methodism here.
Mr Walton McLeod of Lynchburg
and Mr Singletary of Bishopville
were here Friday evening to attend
the school exercises. %
/ There is a movement on foot
- which we are informed will soon be
put into execution to build a new
block of brick stores on Broadway
street., This will fill a long-felt
want here, as there has been a continued
cry for store buildings which
80 far have not been furnished to
#rceet the demand.
Mr Jackson Huggins, who recently
znbved here with his family from
Hemingway, has moved into his
new modern home and is now erecting
a large market building on
Broadway, which he will occupy
with his general market business
immediately on completion.
Two new mercantile firms have
recently opened up business here,
and others are only awaiting the
completion of store buildings. Watch
Progressive Johnsonville.
Best Thing for a Bilious Attack.
"On account of my confinement
in the printing office I have for years
been a chronic sufferer from indigestion
and liver trouble. A few weeks
ago I had an attack that was so severe
that I was not able to go to the
case for two days. Failing to get
any relief from any other treatment,
I took three of Chamberlain's Tablets
and the next day I felt like a new
man," writes H C Bailey, editor
Carolina News, Chapin, S C. Obtainable

A fellow in this town ate German
noodle soup and French fried potatoes
yesterday, and now he can't
understand the war that is rafrin#
in his stomach.
A wise man talks of others. The
fool babbles of himself.
Bennett School Closes.
Salter3 Depot, May 24:?Bennett
school,about five miles from Salters,
closed its session Friday night, May
21. After an opening prayer by Rev
W I Sinnott and a welcome song by
the entire school, the welcome address
was delivered by little Miss
Zouleame Shirer. The exercises consisted
of songs, dialogues and drills,
and the excellent way in which the
children performed their parts reflected
great credit upon their
teacher. Miss Motte L Clement.
While it may be invidious to select
any portion of the entertainment
as worthy of special mention,
tun PYPreises seemed to be Darticu
Iarly enjoyed, viz: The drill in which :
eight girls with sunbonnets placed
backwards upon their heads went
through various movements on the
stage, and "The Sick Doll",in which
little Dr Emmett Brown,s?ven years
of age, wearing long trousers and
otherwise fitted out as became the
dignity of his profession, ministered
to the sick doll of little Miss Sallie
Boyd.
Delightful music was furnished by
Misses Minnie and Lucile Bryan, the
prizes were delivered by County Su
perintendent R N Speigner and ar.
interesting and instructive address
was given by Solicitor Philip H Stoll,
which was followed by the closing
song, "Vacation Song", sung by the
entire school. WIS.

him many explanations.
Lame Back.
Lame back is usually due to rheumatism
of the muscles of the back.
Hard working people are most likely
to suffer from it. Relief may be
had by massaging the back with
Chamberlain's Liniment two or three
timoo a rlnv Trv it. Obtainable
everywhere.
