selves and build better school houses.

mous, “Hurrah for Felton!”

Mrs. Brant's Examination.
The attendance at Mrs. Brame’s
public examinations, last Wednes
day and Thursday, was good, and
the audience was richly repaid for
the time spent there. The examina
! tions ran through alt the classes, and
were most thorough and rigid. The
; children displayed an unusual, and
| in some instances, an extraordinary
familiarity with their text books. It
; was generally remarked by those
who watched the progress of the ex
ercises that they had never seen chil
dren stand such a thorough tcet so
creditably. Mrs. Bratne has taught
a successful school and has reason to
feel proud of the result. She is a wo
man of unusual tael and ability as au
instructress,and possesses to an extra
ordinary degree the power of impart
ing it to others. The examinations
were well attended by the patrons of
the school,all of whom were pleased
and gratified at the progress and pre
ficiency cf their children. Mrs.
Brame has been ably assisted by
Miss Isa Williams, who lias had
charge of the advanced latin and
greek classes, Mrs. S. J. Ware, the
music teacher, and Miss Mamie
Ware, who has assisted in the prima
ry department, At the conclusion
of theexercists on Thursday evening
some special prizes that had been of
fered for proficiency in certain de
partments, were awarded. Master
Thomas Gilreath was presented with
a nicely hound hook for excellence
in spelling. Miss Girlie Cliutm
received a beautiful gold medal for
the most prompt and regular practice
iu music. Miss Fannie Williams
won the prize a gold medal, for the
best general scholarship and deport
ment. The prizes were presented by
Rev. Theo. E. Smith in a brief hut
timely speech.
We give the names of those who
lead in the various classes. A record
was kept of each lesson recited and
from this the standing of each pupil
is made up. Tho season’s record
shows the following names as lead
ers in the various classes:
Greek, Sam Conyers; french, Sam
Conyers; trigonometry, Evans Mays;
algebra, first, Justine Erwin, second,
Allie Erwin; philosophy, Bettie
Cleghorn and Justine Erwin tied;

Candless, fourth, Hugh Hall; latin,
first, Sam Conyers, second,
Fannie Williams, third, Jus
tine Erwin, fourth, Allie Er
win, fifth, Etta Bradley,
sixth, Willie Godfrey anil Harold
Baxter tied.
Where so many did well it is hard
ly fair to mention any names. The
honors in each class were closely con
tested and dearly woo. The chil
dren displayed a laudable ambition
atid rivalry, and we congratulate
them all.
