PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE
The Closing Exercises Throughout
Very Interesting.
One of the largest and most
successful commencement occa
sions ot our public school was
brjught to a close Wednesday
evening, alter exercises includ
ing lour days. The past school
year was particularly successful
and the superintendent and fac
ulty are to be congratulated on
the manner in which they have
carried this success into the clos
ing exercises. The series of en
tertainments opened Friday ev
ening with a most taking per-
(ormace by the three grades of
the primary department. To
many this was the most delight
ful affair of commencement since
the wee folks are never more
winsome than when appeariog
in costumes for the pleasure ol
themselves and thiir elders.
The costumes were very good
indeed, as the little figures form
ed and reformed in the pictur
esque groups. The tiny d earn
ers who were conducted round
the world by the fairies may well
have been delighted by their
meeting with the French dolls,
the U. S. soldier, the wee patri
ots and the Chiaese Ting-a-
Lings. The costumes in the
remaining numbers were equally
as good and the young actors
went through their parts with
spirit.
On Sunday the commence
ment sermon was preached by.
Rev. J. G. Herndon of LaGrange
from First Samuel |4;2. Mr.
Herndon held the attention ot
his large audience by the lorce
of his message and the clearness
of his delivery. The music
which was in charge of Mrs.
McDonald, was excellent and
representative of the school, the
choir being composed of high
school girls and boys.
On Monday and Tuesday
morning the members of the elo
cution class contested Jfor gold
medals offered by their teacher,
Miss Ethel Walthall. The medals
were won by Misses Laura Ky-
tle and Annie Ruth Sewell, Lus
ter Bass and Horry Fleming.
The class which consisted of
twenty-two members rendered
the selections with uniform dis
tinction and were a credit to
their teacher.
Tuesday evening was dovoted
to the grammar school, four
grades being represented. The
music, as on Friday evening was
furnished by the Carrollton Band,
which rendered on Tuesday 6
numbers. The other 8 numbers
on the program consisted of rec
itations, songs, [drills, and ta
bleau, all in costume. The
Wednesday morning exercises
were devoted to the graduating
class ol nine members of whom
eight were young ladies. As
Wednesday was the birthday ot
President Jefferson Davis, the
occasion was rendered especially
interesting and memorable by
introducing special leatures in
in honor of the day. The plat
form was hung in Confederate
colors and decorated with red
and white flowers and from each
corner drooped the Stars and
Bars. The salutatory, delivered
by Mias Lucile Cobb, was retro
spect of work, suffering, bravery
and endurance of the women of
the Confederacy. Neal Moses
delivered an excellent oration on
Jefferson Davis, finishing amidst
spontaneous applause. Piano
solos were rendered by Misses
Marie Spence and Marie Brad
ley and a reading “The Shadow
ot a song” was given by Miss
Annie Ruth Sewell. The
Class Prophecy read by Miss
Annie Lou Redwine was
received with laughter and ap
plause which showed how tell
ing were the hits made by the
clever young prophet. Distinc
tion was conferred upon the
class by the presence of one of
its members, Miss Marie Spenc^,
the first “grand daughter’’ of the
school, whose father, D -. Leon
C. Spence was graduated in
.1886. An interesting number on
the program was the “chisten
ing” ol Miss Marie Spence by
Misses Fannie Nix and Jennie
Gaston, acting as spoDs >rs and
showering her with rose petals,
while they gave expression to
their good w ishes . Miss Marie
Bradley then proffered a basket
of flowers whose blooms she said
bore in their mystic language the
message ol love and good will
she wished to convey. At the
close of these exercis ■ nix cl
ient address was delivered by
Col, S. Holderuess in which the
orator edified and entertained
his hearers by his solid thought
and witty allusions. Before the
delivery of the diplomas bv Dr.
W. W. Fitts, Prof. Roe Turner
made a brief but strikirg talk to
the graduating class, paying
them well-deserved tributes, and
offering good council and best
w i has. The diplomas were then
delivered by the venerable pres
ident of the board with a kind
and loving word for each recipi
ent. Especially touching were
his words to the class “grand
daughter,” to whose father now
dead, he had delivered a diploma
eighteen, years before. After a
song larewell, sang by the class
Prof. Adams made a short talk
proffering the stage to the mem
bers of the U. D. C., for use
during further exercises in mem
ory of President Davis. Crosses
were delivered to the veterans
by lhe president of the local
Chapter, who then, in the name
of the Chapter, presented to the
school, framed portraits ot Pres
idents Davis and Lee. These
were immediately hung on the
wall in the rear ot the stage, in
places prepared for them, draped
with bunting and hung with
Confederate flags. Judge W.
F. Brown of the board of trustees
made [a speech receiving the
pictures, and thanking the mem
bers of the Chapter for their ex
cellent thought. Following him
Prof. Adams made further re
marks on the subject of the Con
federacy and added thanks for
himself and the school. The ex
ercises were concluded with the
benediction by Rev. W. E.
Dozier.
The exercises closed WedneS'
evening with a series of plays,
three in number, by the elocu
tion department. The partici
pants were in various costumes
suitable to their parts and enter
taned the large audience with
vim. Music was furnished by
the Carrollton orchestra and the
A & M. quartette. All the ex.
ercises were largely attended
and the people of the town man.

Remarkable Rooster
"Rtv. Wm. Dunbar, pastor of
M. E. Church, has a very extra
ordinary rooster among his
flock of chickens. The rooster
some four weeks ago took a nest
of five eggs and held forth until
five little chicks were hatched
about one week ago, and has
carried them just as a hen would
since. There are seven chicks
in ihe brooJ, the hen having
hatched two, since the rooster
came oft with five. Just why
this little rooster should be gnilty
of such unusual conduct, we are
unable to say, unless, well, we
will say the mother hen had to
attend a series of important club
meetings.

We Never Ask
You to Pay
In Advance
The mail order house says—send us the money
and we will send you the goods.
We say—choose THEN pay.
We offer you the opportunity of examining to
your heart’s content and then please yourself
about accepting or otherwise.
Don’t you think this is a far safer and more natur
al way to shop than to pay in advance for some
thing you have never even seen?
We think it is, and if you will give us a chance
we will demonstrate it to you.

Rev. G. S. Byrom
Rev. G. S. Byrom, after several
weeks of patient suffering passed
peacefully away Thursday after
noon at 5 o’clock May 14th at
Wesley Memorial hospital, Atlanta,
whither he had been carried With
the hope that he might regain his
health. He was in his sixty-ninth
year and a member of the Tennesee
Methodist Conference where he
had given thirty six of the best
years of his life to faithful and
efficient service in the vineyard of
the Master, but ill health caused
his superanuation from the work
and two years ago he and his most
excellent wife, located in Carroll
ton to be near their eldest daugh'er,
Mrs L. K. Smith, of our city, since
which time he has won the esteem
and love and become identified
with our people. He leaves a wife
who has grace sufficient to look up
and smile thru her tears “Thy will
be done,” and two daughters Mrs.
L. K. Smith of Carrollton and Mrs.
Dr. Foster of Tnrin and one son
Prof. G. L. Byrom of.Pocahontas,
Virginia all of whom are living ex
amples of the verity of the state
ment “raise up a child in the way
he should ga and when he is old he
will not depart from it.”
His whole ministerial life was
absolutely, a “labor of love.” He
loved God because his life clearly
said so, and left no place for an in
terrogation point. He loved human
ity, for no man, woman, or child
ever felt the cordial grasp of his
hand or caught the kindly gleam of
his eye that did not receive the
telepathic message, I love you be
cause he first loved us.”
His attitude was one of helpful
ness Jin the Sunday school class
of which his wife was the capable
and earnest teacher his explanation
and elucidation of what we some
times call biblical obscurities and
unfolding and elaborating the truths
that mean so much to all of us,
were much sought for and helpful
to each member of the large class.
We reaiize the fact that a “Prince
is fallen in Israel” and that God’s
own hand in love and mercy did
the work, therefore be it resolved
First That we submit uncomplain
ingly to His will.
Second That in his death the
Methodist Episcopal church has
sustained an irreparable loss and
its pastor a valiant Co-worker in
the cause of Christ, and the town
a living example of the beauty of
the Christ life.
Third That we extend our deep
est sympathy and love to each
member of his bereaved family
and a copy of these resolutions be
furnished each of them.
