the rendition of a well arranged
program.
The decorations were beautiful
and thoroughly appropriate to the
sacred occasion, and the throng of
little ones — members of the
school—In their dainty white
frocks gave animation to the rare

training the little ones had receiv

E. Phillips, who was assisted by
Misses Carrie Beck Davis and An¬
nie White.

Have Already Been Prepared.
Capt. H. D. Terrell has had a
plan on foot for the purpose of or

ing out this plan.
