EXHIBITION XT ALMON
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
•
Almon surpassed herself Friday ev¬
ening last. A crowded house, an ap¬
preciative audience, good music and
a perfectly executed program were
the principal features of the big en¬
tertainment at the Academy Friday
evening. Miss McElreath, the popu¬
lar and talented principal of the Al¬
mon High School, exercised great
care and much activity in her prepa¬
rations for the entertainment and it
was a complete success and forms an
epoch in the history of Almon. It
would have done credit to a much
larger town than Almon. The selec¬
tions were all well selected and the
children all acquitted themselves
nicely, and the verdict of the entire
audience was that it could not have
been surpassed. Sweet music was
discoursed by the Covington Brass
Band and the boys deserve special
credit for their part. Following is
the program:
School Song—By the School.
Recitation, No More Spanking—
John Wingate.
Recitation, At the Bars—Amber
Coggins.
Music—By the Band.
Song, No Sir—Winnie Rice and
Clyde Young.
Hoop Drill—Nine Girls.
Dialogue, The Interviews—Charlie
Berry and John Wingate.
Pantomime, Jesus Lover of My
Soul—Twelve Girls.
Recitation, Kentucky Philosophy—
Clyde Young.
Music—By the Band. *
Indian Drill—Eight Small Boys.
Recitation, Four Lives—Lollie Rice.
Dialogue, The Census Taker—Am¬
ber Coggin and Oliver Young.
Music—By the Baud.
Song, The Schoolgirls Quarrel—Ce¬
cil Marbut and Gertrude Hyatt.
Recitation, Little Orphan Annie—
Roy Presley.
Garland Drill—Twelve Girls.
Music—By the Band.
Play, The Persecuted Dutchman
Three Girls and Six Boys.
Poppies, A Sleepy Drill—By Eight
Small Girls.
A VISION ON THE VELDT.
The Form on the Rooks That Con¬
fronted the Soldier.
I thought I saw a form of some kind
between the bowlders. I Jumped to
the conclusion that it was a soldier. In
one second It had vanished. 1 chal
lenged, but got no answer. Those
pieces of rock seemed to terrify me.
I advanced toward them, but saw
nothing. I retired back and took up
my position, leaning on my rifle. My
eyes went again to the same place, and
there, standing between the two bowl¬
ders, was the outline of a woman. I
brought my rifle to the present, cover¬
ing the form which Itood before me.
I saw her walk from one piece of rock
to the other.
I watched and saw her repeat her ac¬
tion. She then stopped and leaned up
against one of the bowlders with her
back toward me. I again advanced
to where she stood. When I had got to
within forty or fifty yards of her I
saw her turn round and look straight
at me with a careworn and sorrowful
face.
Then I saw and knew who she was.
It was my own mother. I was not mis¬
taken, for she walked within a few
yards of me, at the same time looking
me dead In the face. She then turned
about and walked to the two pieces of
rock, and I saw no more of her. About
three weeks after I received a letter
from home telling me of her death and
burial.—“A Grenadier’s South African

“Many queer reasons are advanced

In here last week. Her late mistress
was a bridge fiend. One day for the
want of money to bet she and her
friends played with their maids for
stakes. At the end of the game each
woman considered herself In honor
bound to stick to her agreemenL and
an attempt was really made to swap
servants according to the nps and
downs of the game. Borne of the girls
thus raffled off changed places willing¬

Rough on His Lordship.
A carpenter In an English town hav¬
ing neglected to make a gibbet that
had been ordered by the hangman on
the ground that he had not been ptild
for the last one he had erected gave so
much offense that the next time the
Judge came to the circuit be was sent
for.
“Fellow,” said the judge In a stern
tone, “how came you to neglect mak¬
ing the gibbet that was ordered on my
account?"
“I humbly beg your pardon,” replied
the carpenter. “Had I known It was
for your lordship It would have been
done immediately.”
