—Rain fell plentifully at Perry
last Saturday afternoon and night

Last Thursday another school
year was conclnded at the Perry
Puplic School, and at about 10:80
a. m. the graduating exercises be
gan. Upon the stage were 18
members of the graduating class;
the teacher and the editor of , this
paper.
The program of these exercises
was published last week, and we
deem its reproduction unnecessa
ry. The two original speeches and
essay presented by the leaders of
the class, Jack Holtzclaw, Ira
Nunn and Miss Issie Barfield,were
carefully prepared and excellently
delivered. The music, declama
tions, recitations and songs were
all well rendered, the whole com
bined making one of the most
pleasing occasions ever enjoyed
in our school chapel.
The diplomas were delivered by
Mr. John II. Hodges.
The graduating class embraced
the following boys and girls, the
oldest being less than 17 years of
age:
Jack Holtzclaw, Ira Nunn, Is
sie Brrfield, Courtney Hodges,
Ivan Starbuck, Carey Andrew,
Lula Hurst, Nellie Cheek, Kate
Moore, Maggie Day, Lucia Ed
wards, May Thurmond and Clyde
Gurr.
Thursday night fhe younger pu
pils predominated in the enter
tainment, and a Perry audience
never gave evidence of greater en
joyment on . a similar occasion.
The program was as follows:
Chorus—A Natural Spell, by
Seventh grade.
Recitation—Our Baby, Ruth
Andrew.
Motion Song—Five Little Fid
dlers.
A Two faced Fantasy—Clowns
with painted faces on the back of
their heads. '
Six Little Grandmas—six small
girls.
Brownies’ Flirtation—Eight
Wax Dolls (represented by little
girls) and eight Brownies. This
received an enthusiastic encore.
Pontomime—Gipsy Countess.
Operetta—Queen Floras’ Day
Dream.
Declamation—The Blaok Horse
and his rider, Rob Baldwin.
Pantomime—Coming thro’ the
Rye.
Good Bye—Song, Miss Lucia
Edwards and May Thurmond.
The entire exercises wero ex
cellent, reflecting credit alike up
on teachers and pupils. We re
frain from any attempt at a spe
cific report, other than to say
that the rendition of “Our Baby,”
by Ruth Andrew, who is not more
than six years of age, captured
the crowd.
The pleasure of the evening was
somewhat marred by the incapaci
ty of the hall to comfortably ac
commodate the crowd. There were
not seats enough, and as many in
front seats would stand up, many
in the rear could not see.
District Conference at Perry.
Fext week, beginning Wednes
day night, the annual conference
of the South Macon District of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South will be, in session at Perry
three days. While the number
constituting the conference is not
yet definitely known, as some of
those appointed may not come,
it is calculated that at least 20
ministers and twice that number
of lay delegates will be here.
In accord with their proverbial
hospitality, the people of Perry
have heartily agreed to entertain
the delegates, and homes have al
ready been provided for them "
The reception committee will
meet the incoming trains Wednes
day afternoon and Thursday and
direct the guests to the houses
where they will recive most cor
dial welcome and be at home in
the fullest sense of the term dur
ing their stay in Perry.
Thore will be more than mere
routine business in each session
and pleasure and spiritual profit
will be the full portion of all who
attend with an earnest desire
therefor.
It is hoped and expected that
the people of Perry and surround
ing country will liberally attend
each session and service.
The official announcement of
the conference is as follows:
“The South Macon District
Conference, at Perry, will open
with a missionary sermon by Rev.
J. B. Johnstote, Wednesday, June
25, 8 p. m. Reports from charges,

all other medicine I ever tried for
coughs, colds, croup and throat
and lung troubles,” says D. Scott
Currin of Loganton, Pa. One
minute Cough Cure is the only ab
solutely safe cough remedy which
acts immediately. Mothers every
