MOTH, Commencement at Perry. .7/ • i_ * The school year of 1900—01 was concluded at Perry Public School last Thursday, with commencement exercises in the morning and concert at night; The programmes prepared were exceptionally well rendered, and the attendance was large—at night ev- ery foot of available space was occu pied, many standing. Much applause was given the pupils, and liberal praise accorded Prof. Driskell and his assistants, Miss May Hodges and Mrs. S. P. Bufin. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. I. M. Anld, followed by an Instrumental duett. ThegSa- lutatory, an exceedingly well, written paper, was then read , by Miss Blos som Davis, Interspersed with music, were dec lamations as follow^: “The South During the Revolu tion”—Carey Andrew; “Man’s Material Triumph”—Ira Nunn. “Emmett’s Defense”—Jack Holtz- claw. “The New South”—John Hodges. “Washington”—Gordon Rogers. Valedictory, an exceptionally good- paper, Miss Gussie Riley. The exercises were concluded yvith a farewell song by the graduating class. The graduating class consisted of Misses Gussie Riley and Blossom Davis, John Hodges and (3-oidon Rogers, they having earned rank in the order named. The declamations were in contest for a geld medal offered by Prof. Driskell. The boys did exceedingly well, and we learn the judges expe rienced considerable difficulty in de termining who had earned the med al—awarded to Ira Nunn. As only one could get the prize, the others should not feel humiliated in any degree. In delivering the diplomas and medal, Prof. Geo. W. Smith was ex- ingly happy in his choice of words, compliments and admonitions. The evening exercises began at about 8:30 o’clock, and the audito rium was crowded to the utmost. An instrumental duett was follow ed by an opening address, splendid ly delivered, by Master Lott Touns- ley. The program originally comprised 27 numbers, but several were omit ted on account of expressed evidence of impatience at the great length of the performance. There were three or four pieces of instrumental music and six songs; five recitations, three drills and sev eral dialogues. The drills, “Flower Exercise,” “Daisy Drill” and “Daugh ters of the Regiment,” ware excep tionally pretty and exceedingly well presented. In “Sing Me a Song of the South” and “Two Very Similar Twins” Estelle Edwards and Bessie and Louise Dasher were encored. We would be pleased to give in dividual praise to every pupil taking part in the exercises, as all deserve high compliments, but that would occupy more space than we can spare. The teachers regret that the pro gram occupied so much time in its rendition, from 8:30 to 11, and they and the pupils were mortified that the flag drill was cut short by the expressed impatience of the audi ence. The exercises are prepared for .the special benefit of the pupils and the pleasure of the patrons, and in order that there be no partiality shown, every pupil must be given a part. Therefore it is absolutely im possible to have a short program, unless more than one evening is used. Taken all together, all who air- tended join us in saying the exer cises were exceptionally good, and that both pupils and teachers de serve much praise. ■ -—s—-*-•—* - A Terrible Explosion “Of a gasoline stove burned a lady here frighfully,” writes N.

A good summer coat that is washable and cool for 50/, at Negro Killed at Grovania. At about 9 o’clock last Monday; night an excited messenger came to ’ Perry from Grovania and reported that a negro had been killed there,' a white man wounded, and that there was great danger of further and perhaps greater trouble. Dr. Holtzclaw went to Elko to at- ! tend the wounded man. Sheriff . Cooper and Deputy Riley summon ed about a dozen young men as a; possee and they, with Coroner Schil- 1 ling, went to the scene of the trage dy. Upon their arrival, late at night, everything was quiet, no indication: whatever of any further trouble. Coroner Schilling and Deputy Ri ley remained at Grovania all night. Sheriff Cooper and possee returning home, arriving just as a new day was dawning. Tuesday morning an inquest was held over the body of the dead ne gro. From the inquest testimony and reports from Grovania people we gather the following facts: Several days prior to the tragedy, Hence Riley, a negro man of notori ously bad character, got into a disa greement with Mr. Baird, the depot agent at Grovania,, over a matter of- well-digging, and threatened the agent with serious bodily injury, drawing a large knife. A warrant for the arrest of the negro was is sued and placed in the hands of Constable Walter Means of Elko. Monday an effort was made to ar rest the negro, he being at work in a field near Grovania. The negro refused to submit, and began firing at the officer with a Winchester ri fle, the officer shooting also. The negro exhausted the loads in his rifle and retreated to his home to get more cartridges. Constable Means secured the assistance of several gentlemen, and together they closed in on the house, broke in the win dows and door, fired the contents of pistols and rifles in a regular fusil- ade, killing the negro. In the fight Mr. John Mathews, a farmer of near Elko, received a flesh wound in one of his thighs. About fifteen bullets entered the body and head of the negro. Mr. Matbews was hurried to the train for Elko, where he received medical attention. It is not believed his wound need be at all dangerous. The negro was a desperate char acter, had served a time in the coun ty chaingang for stealing a hog, had been whipped for his threats against white men, and carried his Winches ter rifle constantly. The inquest verdict was that the negro came to his death by gunshot Wounds at the hands of parties un known to the jury. Unusual Requests. It is the desire of every newspa per editor to publish-all the avail able items of local news, and no tices of arrivals and departure of citizens and visitors are promi nent in the list; Usually such notices are pleasing to the persons named. Last Saturday, however, we were requested by three differ ent persons, “don’t put it in the paper.” A citizen was about to leave town until Monday evening, biit he requested us not to mention;'it in the paper. A citizen who had been in an other state about four months, had just returned home for a short stay. We asked him a few ques tions, and then he requested us not to say anything about his re turn. . A young lady who expected to receive company on Sunday from a neighboring town. She was ear nest in her request that the name of her visitor should not appear in the paper.

Last Friday morning. at Ever green cemetery, a precious baby boy was buried. On June 29th, 1900, an infant gladdened tbe home of Mr. and Mrs- E. J. Thompson, about 5 miles southwest of Perry, and they called him William Daniel. On June 6th, 1901, the Heavenly Father called the, precious boy to his eternal home. The little fel low had been sick only three days. All that medical skill or tender nursing could suggest or do was without avail * 4 the child was want ed in Heaven. This bereavement is especially sore to the loving parents, as he was their-only child, they having suffered a similar bereavement scarcely more than a year ago. Human sympathy cannot as suage the great sorrow of the pa rents, but only He can give com fort who said “Suffer little chil dren to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the king- domjof heaven.” The bereaved parents have the tenderest sympathy of their many friends.
