Our declamation contest took place
last Monday. The two best boys and
the two best girls from each Seventh
grade were chosen. Mr. E. A. Nisbet,
Mr. Tom Lane and Mr. Frank Harrold
were the judges.
Those who won places were Paul
Sampson, John Butt, Mattie McNeil and
Winifred Hopkins, from the Seventh-1;
Ottie Prather Johnson, Robert Slap
pey, Minnie Reese and Lula Howard
from the Seventh-2.
On Friday these eight pupils will go
over to the High school and say their
speeches again to decide which is the
very best speaker among the girls and
the very best among the boys.
To them will be given a copy of
Longfellow’s poems and a copy of
"The World’s Best Orations.”
The May Queen contest came to an
end last Monday. Lena Mae Finch won.
The score was: Lena Mae 1167, Win
ifred 954.
We made quite a neat little sum for
the library.
The queen will ride in a carriage
decorated with pink and white flowers.
Miss Hardy hasn’t chosen the maids
yet, but there are going to be six of
them. We hope that the May Festival
will be a big success, and that there
will be a large crowd to witness it.
Below we are giving a story written
by Eva Lindley. The ony suggestion
made by the teacher was the title and
the object of the quest. The story’ is
published without corrections, just as
she wrote it.
"THE BUTTERFLY’S QUEST.”
Once upon a time a cocoon hung high
up in an old tree. A beautiful butter
fly’ was enclosed in this queer-looking
cocoon.
At last Mr. Butterfly came out of
his bed to see the world. He was as
happy and beautiful as a rose in sum
mer. At last Mr. Butterfly grew so
lonesome that he was obliged to study
over the question of selecting him a
bride.
One day as he was sitting on his
front porch, Mr. Bee came along. He
noticed that his friend was looking
I
very sad, so he asked him: “My dear
friend, what is the matter?”
Mr. Butterfly looked up and said,
“Oh! I am trying to decide whom to
choose for a bride.”
“’Why not take Miss Tulip?”
“Oh, no, ’ said Mr. Butterfly. “She
is a Hollander.”
Then Mr. Bee said, “Why not take
the little Miss Violet?”
Mr. Butterfly laughed and said, “Why
1 should have to own a drug store to
support or supply her with medicine.
I believe I will propose to Miss Sweet
Pea.”
“Ho! That you won't,” said Mr. Bee.
“Our wedding bells will ring next Sun
day morn,” And saying this, Mr. Bee
walked away.
The next day as Mr. Butterfly was
out strolling in one of the parks, he
happened to meet little Miss Pansy.
“Good afternoon,” said he, when he
was close enough for her to hear.
“Pleasant afternoon, I’m sure.”
“Why, it certainly is. I W’as just
thinking what a lovely afternoon this
is,” she said with a smile that seemed
to Mr. Butterfly as sweet as honey.
He smiled back and said, “Miss
Pansy, if no one else is going with you,
may I accompany you on a short
stroll ”
Miss Pansy blushed and said shyly,
"Why, I W’ould be delighted to have
you.” So they strolled along to
gether, and at last he got an invitation
to come to see her that night.
That night he went with a nice five
pound box of candy to see his “lady
love.” That night he came home a
much happier butterfly than he had
been in a long time, for he had really
proposed and she had accepted.
The very next month, which would
be June, he would hear his wedding
bells. He was very happy. Miss Pansy
in her warm soft moss bed was happy,
too. The very last thought before she
closed her beautiful eyes in slumber
was of him.
Downstairs her mother and father
were thinking also of their daughter's
happiness. The father said, “This is
surely love on first sight.”
At last the grand night came, and
down by the .brook w’here the grass
prows green, there was a very beauti
ful scene. The trees were covered

HER SWEETEST IN
THE CinSUNDAV
Sunday was an ideal Easter day, the
most delightful one in years, so the
older citizens say. All nature smiled,
as did the people. The votaries of
fashion rejoiced that the day was just
right for a proper display of their glad
rags, while the more serious-minded
rejoiced that the day was bright and
symbolical of that first Easter morn
when the hearts of the people were
made glad over the resurrection of a
Savior and a King.
In the early morn almost as soon as
the sun in its effulgent glory began
to peep over the tree-tops the people
began to wend their way to the various
places of worship, there to mingle their
voices in song, proclaiming the glad
tidings that the world had no[ for
gotten that morn when God had given
back Christ the Lord.
The various churches of the city
were full to overflowing with young
and old, with hearts filled to the brim
with love and praise to God, their
'•oices mounting high in song, praising
and glorifying His name.
Appropriate programs had been ar
ranged for the observance of the
day. Flowers in endless profusion
formed the decorations, the lily, em
blem of purity, the rose and the
sweet-pea seemed to vie with each
other in their beauty and fragrance i’l
making the day one gladsome season.
At the Methodist church the pro
gram was all that it could be. Each
participant was at his or her best, and j
las their voices mingled in songs of
praise, a spirit of gladness and con
secration filled the hearts of those
who heard. The feature of the observ
ance in this church was an Faster Can.
I Uta by R. M. Shutts, and was com
i posed of songs, solos, duets and cho-
I ruses, depicting in all of its leautif'iL
solemnity the Easter story and the |
resurrection morn.
Lorenz's cantata, "The Lord of Eas
tertide,” was given at the First Bap
tist church, and in a manner most
pleasing and delightful to all present.
