The LakeView school closed with a concert last Friday night, attended by several hunderd peo ple. * The stage was tastefully, deco rated with magnolios and other beautiful and fragrant flowers. The teachers, Prof. J. R. Strip ling and Miss Reynolds, had la bored earnestly to prepare the pupils to present an interesting program, and the result was a gratifying success. The exercises were lengthy and varied as exhibitions at country schools usually are, therefore it would require too much space to attempt a detailed report of the exercises. The music, and all the other pieces were selected with care, and. the Concert as a whole was decidedly good. Many who at tended say they have never seen it surpassed. The program was rather long, howeve, and several of the pieces selected were not presented, owing to the lateness of the hour. The children all acted well their parts, and reflected credit upon their teachers and themselves The school has been well taught, and as a rule the pupils have been apt to learn. Prof. Stripling requested me to say that he most cordially thanks the people for the assistance rendered in preparing for the concert. The pupils think a great deal of the teachers, and it was with sor row they parted Friday night. These teachers deserve much cred it, for the school has never been taught by better teachers- I guess my last school days are over, and with regret I think that the pleasures of association with my fellow pupils in the school room and on the plav-ground are passed. May you all strive har der every school day, for there is nothing equal to a good education, for it prepares every boy and girl for future success. May the same pupils be with the same teachers in the same school house next year, but if not, I hope you will have teachers that wilrbe as good to you, as Prof. Stripling and Mis$ Reynold have been to us.

Norwood, Perry, Ga- —Extraordinary value Spikes, 1 cent each, at Ribon In Memory of Miss Lannie Means. When the news reached Elko Sunday at noon that Lannie was dead, it caused many a heart to ache. She had not yet blossom ed into womanhood, but was a bud, sweet and tender. She was the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Means, and was an elder sister in deed and in truth. Her manner and style would not im press one that she was of so ten der an age, for she had the care and thought of one much older. She was only fourteen, yet if her little sisters and brothers could only get to Lannie with their lit tle troubles, it suited them as well as mama. Her friends were num bered by her acquaintences. She was an obedient and affectionate child, the pride and joy of both parents and grand-parents. The writer is very thankful that it was his privilege to spend several nights at her home only a short time ago. During my stay she was most attentive and anxious to make me feel at home. She show ed me several school reports; 100 was a prominent mark, for she stood first in all her studies. We cannot sing with the poet. “We never prize the music, till the sweet voiced bird has flown,” for we have always prized Lannie and it grieves our hearts sorely to think we will never see her again in this life. The blow does seem so hard, but we will lingly sub mit to the unerring Providence of our Heavenly Father, Who does all things for the best. Lannie is not dead; she has only gone before us to that Home beyond the skies where she stands at the Pearly gates beckoning loved ones to come. May God bless us all and help us to follow those “Beckoning Hands,” We’ll meet again* Bye and Bye, In the realms of endless Glory. We will meet, yes; Bye and Bye. Cousin, Zollie.
