The County Oratorical.
The County Oratorical will be
held at Oxford May the 5 th, 1905
The preliminary contest f <r
speakers’ places will taka each
district will be arranged by tbe
teachers, so that every boy and
girl eligible shall have opportuni¬
ty to contest. Teachers will ap
point the judges, and do all in
their power to have perfectly fair
decisious.
The following rules shall gov¬
ern The County Oratoricle for
1905 :
1 Each malitia district shall be
entitled to one boy and one girl
representative.
2 Contestants must be between
18 and 18 years of age, and shall
not have had previous profsssionaI
training, but may begin to take
elocution immediately after this
announcement.
8. All contestants must have
professional training for the final
contest on May the 5 th.
4 . The coutest will be divided
into two sessions, one for the girls
from 10 to 12 and the other for
boys from 1 to 8.
5. Two ptoses will lie given of
$20.00 m gold each to the success¬
ful girl or boy.
6. An admission fee of 10 c will
be charged to all except partici¬
pants in the exercises.
7 . The receipts of the associa¬
tion will be used as follows:
$20 to the successful girl.
$20 to the successful boy.
$10 for the church.
$ 5 for piano.
$ 5 for printing.
$ 5 for expenses of judges
and the remainder to the County
Circulating Library, every cent of
which will be for the benefit of the
girls and bovs of the county, not
one cent to go to any individual.
With the experience gained in
the thiee former contests, it is
confidently expected that this one
will excel all others.
Prospective contestants should
begin work at ouce on their pieces
for the preliminary contest in
January.
Of course the success of the Ora
torical Association depends al¬
most wholly on the interest taken
in it by the patriotic public. I
think our contests are leading all
others in the state, and I am sure
that our county pride wilt not al¬
low us to do less than our best.
Let every one help by word or
deed whereever and whenever he
can. The palm of oratory seems
to be slipping to the North and
West. Formerly the South led
the world in this “fine art , and
let us do our best to make its
abiding place among us still.
Yours for higher and better

Democratic Mass Meeting
Pursuant to a call of Chairman
L. L. Middlftbrooks of the city
Democratic executive
a mass meeting of the citizens court! of i
Covintonjwas house \\ sdnetdav held night. in the
After the selection of a tempo,
rary chairman and a secretary.
Col, MidJiebrooks announced the
object of the meeting, stating that
it was pmnariHv for the purpose
of giving prospective candidates
for the different municipal offices
an opportunity to announce them
selves publicly and tor a general
discussion r.f matters pertaining
to the approaching primary elec¬
tion. I pon the presumption that
such announcement and discus¬
sions would probably lead to cer
tain candidates being endorsed by
the mass meeting, Captain Pace
took the position that the action
would be irregular, in view 0/
the fact that the Democratic pri¬
mary had been ordered for the
purpose of settling suchmatters.
Dr - Anderson took a similar view ;
wbereupou Chairman Middle
brooks withdrew his proposition
aud submitted that the object of
the meeting was to elect a new
executive committee. With a
unanimous vote tbe old committee
was reelected, which consists of
L. L. Middlebrooke, chairman;
A. B. Simms, C. A. Harwell, Jas.
R. Stephenson, C. H White and
C. C. Brooks. After this tbe
meetiug was adjourned sine die
