THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
THE JOINT DEBATE,
THE BOYS OF THE G.
RONIAN AND LYSIAN SOCIE
TIESSETTLE THE QUESTION.
Tin 1 members of the Lysian, G.
F. O. and Ciceronian societies of
Gordon Institute, with colors fly
ing, were out in full force at the
auditorium Thursday evening Inst
as well as many of their friends
to hear the debate, which had
been arranged to take place at
that time.
The following was the question
for debate:
“Resolved, ‘That the United
States Should Withdraw Entirely
From Cuba, and Leave the Cuban
People to Work Out Their Own
Freedom Without Interference.”
The Lysian society was repre
sented by Messrs. Walter Marsh
burn, Warren Woodward and
James Kelley, for the affirmative.
The other two societies were rep
resented by Messrs. Bolton, Cook
and Autrey, for the negative.
From start to finish it was ex
ceedly good, all of the boys ac
quitting themselves with credit.
Mr. Bolton, however, captured
the audience and the honors. His
first speech was good, presenting
splendid argument with plenty of
spirit. His closing effort, being a
reply and somewhat impromptu,
swept the audience off its feet,
and lie was quite vigorously ap
plauded. When the judges, Revs.
W. R. Branlmm. F. R. Graves
and C. W. Durden announced that
the negatives had won, the ap
plause approved the decision. All
of the speakers were highly com
plimented on their efforts.
The music pupils of the Insti
tute furnished a number of pieces
which added much to the pleasure
of the evening.
THE “DEESTRICK SKULE.”
A Fine Entertainment "Which Was
Largely Attended.
The exhibition by the pupils of
the “Deestrict Skule,” under the
auspices of the Presbyterian
church, was held at the audito
rium of Gordon Institute Friday
evening last, and it proved to be
a very enjoyable occasion, and
also a profitable one, as some
thing like SIOO was the sum real
ized.
Mr. C. O. Summers was the
school master and right weil did
he perform the duties of this high
position. While he did not bring
into use the old hickory which
was once so famous, he showed
that he knew how to use a stick
when necessary, and he could
scold equally as well as a regular
Yankee teacher.
The boys and girls all showed
) off well in the exhibition. Through
such school exhibitions have come
| many of the world’s greatest men
land women, and the“readin, ’rit
j in’ an’ ’rithmetic” taught in such
schools have been the foundation
of the world’s greatest advance
ment in literature, art and science.
It was a most enjoyable occasion.
Dr. E. C. Riplev was there as one
of the pupils, barefooted, with his
toes all tied up in rags. Dr. J. A.
Correy asked his teacher over and
over again about the word, pictur
esque. He never did know it, but
he turned out to be a fine speaker.
Messrs. Ben Turner, Ed Minhin
nette, Shi Gray, Merritt Thurirqui,
John Holmes, Bob Brown and
“Little Buddy” Fifield and Mrs.
J. R. Jordan, Mrs. J. A. McCrary,.
Mrs. Shi Gray, Misses Joe Oli
phant, Mae Seaman, Arley Mur

Lane, Rosa Montsalvatge were |
some of the pupils.
Judge Oliphant and Mr. E. W.
Rose were the committee to visit;

Mr. C. H. Morris has been dis
playing this week something new
in the way of hen fruit. It is one
egg inside another. The egg was
laid just so, and the outside one
is about double the size of an or
dinary egg, while the inside one is
perhaps a little smaller than the
average. Both are good eggs and
perfectly formed. Probably not
another case similar to this has
ever been heard of, at least not in
our knowledge. Mr. Morris-states
that this egg was laid by a Buff
Cochin hen, and she is still enjoy
ing good health.
