were examined at the examination held
there this week. Ninety-four per cent
was the highest average obtained - and
Edwin Mays, of this city, stood second

a big compliment to Mr. Mays and a
credit to this city.
- A prominent citizen called our atten
tion yesterday to the innumerable army
of thistles that is flourishing in the east
end of town. 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.

These are high times in our little city.
Besides strawberries and cream and

happy in the thought of doing honor to
themselves, their beloved homes, and

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.. Those composing the
class were Homer Angell, Pearle. Butler
Beanie Frenflh. TVfahfil - Tiiddell ' TCona

After an announcement by Professor

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. ;
