BL00M1NGVALE GRADED SCHOOL I 7r^rrr7r The 1915-16 session of the Bloomingvale Graded school came to a close on April 10. The school has been running six months this year, and the pupils and teachers have been hard at work during the whole . ... ~ i session. This was the hrst year that the school has had two teachers, and they necessarily had a good deal of grading and regulating of work that could not be done before, j We hope now that much better work can be accomplished another year. We enrolled this year fiftytwo pupils, but only forty-five of these made the required attendance of ten days and could be placed on the yearly enrollment. The school ought to have fifty on roll another year, as there are several younger children in the community. The commencement exercises of the school took place on April 9 and 10. The programme was as follows: I Sunday 11 a. m.?Sermon by Revj P S McChesney of Kingstree. Sunday, 8:30 p. m.?Literary Address by Professor 0 M Mitchell of i Rome. Monday, 8:30 p. m.?Exercises by : School. , Mr McLnesney gave us a ueauuful sermon on Sunday morning. Indeed, it could hardly have been excelled. Every one who came to hear him enjoyed it, and felt benefited. Mr McChesney was assisted in his services by Rev J F Pittman, the , regular pastor the Baptist church here. Professor Mitchell's address Sunday night was not an inch behind the notch. We all Knew that he had something good in store for us, and we were not one bit disappointed. His lecture was most interesting, forcible and inspiring. Mr Mitchell was delighted with the material progress the community of Bloomingvaie had made since his last visit here, and he tried to impress upon the people the necessity of a parallel development along educational lines. Every one was deeply impressed by his remarks and we hope they will have a lasting effect. The exercises Monday night seemed to be greatly enjoyed by all who ' attended. There was a large crowd present, some coming from Trio. AnHrpwu. f!pd?r Swsmn. Rhpma and Warsaw. We appreciate the people's interest and hope that they felt that their time had not been wasted.

Cecil Camlin was the only pupil in school who had not missed a day at the end of the term. PERSHING USES DODGE CAR. ! Army Off leer Praises Its Performance In Hard Mountain Travel. "Dodge cars are 'on the job' in pursuit of Villa," said C M Asbill of the Dixie Auto company, distributers of the Dodge line in this terri- > tory. "When Gen Pershing led his troops across the border he traveled in a Dodge Brothers' motor car, and | four other touring cars were used in the transportation ofsupplies. These cars have, of course, been since supplanted in this work by the big trucks shipped to Mexico, but the touring cars are still in use by the army. According to the transportation department they have made wonderful records in tne desert iravei aiter tne | fleeing Mexican bandit. "Reporting on the performance of the Dodge Brothers' car that carried Gen Pershing on the first advance,! an army officer said: " 'We had practically to make our; own roads and from what the Dodge j Brothers' car showed on that trip 11 believe it could climb a wall. The! car went through mountain passes 1 and over places where it was necessary for the engineering corps to blast out a trail before the trucks could get through at all.'
