Everyone knows what a pest they are and how important it is that they be cut down. Now is the' time - to destroy them before they hare gone to seed and prepared the way for the coming of a greater throng next season. . There need to be a thistle ordinance on oar city's statute books and it would be well to revive the practice of compelling them to be destroyed. CLOSING OF THE YEAR. Final Exercises of the Fublie Schools' Yesterday Fall Report of All . .That Happened. These are high times in our little city. Besides strawberries and cream and green peas and spinach, we revel in pretty ribbons, dainty muslins, the sheen of bright new slippers and BtiTl brighter eyes, and the smiles of those happy in the thought of doing honor to themselves, their beloved homes, and -$2.50 $1.75 instruction that for the larsrer nart 3.00 2.00 of the year has been the larger part of 3.25 2.25 their lives. ; Even when the happy 2 25 2 00 thought that this was the end, mixed with an anxiety about the performance, sent the pallor to the cheek of the performer, the interest of the audience Was as hearty and even more sympa thetic. Fully 500 people crowded the Baldwin opera house last night to see the closing exercises of the .high school the exhi bition of the' junior class. The stage was a bower of flowers, arranged in very pleasant effect, and the fair, bright faces gathered on the platform lent van inter est to the scene that was felt by every. one in the audience. Long before the hour for the exercises to open every eeat was taken, and a bush of expectancy was over the owd as the curtain rose and disclosed the class seated on the front of the stage, with the singers in the background..

TVfahfil - Tiiddell ' TCona rftTRowe, Jennie Russell and May Sechlar, After an announcement by Professor Gavin as to the necessity of preserving order, the program commenced by the rfiinm'ntf nf tho ilnnMa nnartofta ' rtm posed of Prof. Strat ton, Glen Allen, Curtis Egbert, Earl Sanders, Catherine Martin. May Sechlar, Myrtle Michell and Georgia Sampson. JNona Kowe then read an essay on "The Past and Present," in a very pleas ing manner. Her enunciation was good, and the thoughts of tte paper were ex pressed in graceful language. She spoke of the education of the youth in ancient times, and of the marvelous results of the present age. - In reciting "Whitman's Ride" Miss Jennie Russell scored a success. - The piece was new to most of the audience, and everyone felt a great interest in that journey of 1342, which did so much for the csuntry in which we live. The ges tures of the speaker were in good taste and her manner free from any fault. ' The solo by Myrtle Michell was heart' ily received by the- audience, and re ceived the generous applause that fol lows all of that young lady's efforts. "The Future of America" was the title of a patriotic oration by Homer Angell, in which he pictured in hopeful words the future of our country. His oration had a breath of patriotism in it that was very pleasing, and his- last sen' tence, "There shall be but one flag over North America America, the nation of nations," was a fitting close to his ora tion. ; The recitation by Miss , Mabel P.idde'.l Continued on Second Page.
