f W. M.DUNN ♦ ••.sell: ! BARTER’S ROMEI CIGARS ; :the P BEST ON THE MARKET • FOURTH YEAR the best th— -11 '""" jhat s the Verdict by The Peonle Who Attended the ROME PUBLIC SCHOOLS Closing Exercises at the Op' era House last Night. Sup erintendent Harris and His Little Folks in Their Glory. Last night’s Program at Nevins, was a fitting finale for one of the successful years the Rome Public Schools have ever known. Long before the hour for the cur ;tain to rise the house was packed ;from pit to dome and hundreds of happy mortals were glad of stand ing room privileges. But the hour arrived —it always ■ does, and Superintendent Harris came to the front and informed the irrepressible small boys, who covered much of the territory of the galleries, that unless they play ed quiet, and very quiet at that, that he would have all of them re moved. This little speech had a cooling effect on the small boys’ ardor, at least. Then the curta’n went up, and with Miss May Clark at the piano, the high school girls marched in and executed with precision the mazy movements of the hoop drill. ■CI-ad in pink gowns and armed 'With circles of flowers they capti 'vated the big audience—very prompt'y. Master Linton Vandiver made a ■ ringing speech full of vigor and >'fire and won a well deserved storm of applause. His subject: The ’Georgia Volunteer. Then Master John Glover, also full of snap and bovish impetuosi. ty. came forward and borrowed the ear of the crowd and charmed it with the beautiful word-picture: 1 The Storming of Quebec. ” These ' tiro boys will be heard from in the coming generation. Glover McGhee, one of the city’s 1 most promising younger- men was f the last of the deciaimers. His theme was “Georgia” and he bor- ' rowed the crowd's other ear and soon had it charmed. The next number was “The Hunters song’’ sang in chorus by the High School girls—audit was ' beautifully done. But the unique event of the eve ning was the “Gossip” in panto mi >e by the pretty liltl* Fourth Grade maidens, a score of these little Misses, clad in grand-mother costumes, with white caps, specta cles, capes, aprons and hand bags and “humping heavily”‘and lean ing on walking, canes hobbledin and marched and counter march ed and then did the go-sip in p in tomine to an ancient perfection Bless thosj little mimmics, how the Hustler of Rome wishes that each one may live a hundred years *nd be as sweet in old age as they wore clever last night. The Violin Solo by Miss Lucy Wright betrayed the masterly touch of tha’ remarkably pretty young lady. The truth of the busi ness is Miss Lucy is as gifted in handling of a bow as her papa and I nclos are in the gift of oratory.

Benefit of St Peters Church Building Fund, ry friend Netticote and while gathering flowers, loses the ring given her by her k ver. As they re turn to the castle, she passed the farm and announces to the assem bled peasants her loss, promising to whosoever may find and restore the ring any reward which lies in her power to bestow. 80-Peep, in her search for Bo Blue, discovers the ring, and per suades him to return. Misstress Mary forgivea him and receives at 80-Peeps request, a new deed of he farm from Ladye Lea, in place of the lost document. The First scene of 80-Peep is laid in a farm ya’d; the second, a Meadow and the third is a Village Green with May pole in the back ground. Little 80-Peep was represented by Miss Mary Wright, the little daughter of Col. W. A. Wright. Miss Mary is a little beauty and with her young rich voice was “the girl for the part” Miss Alva Wads worth, younger sister of Ar'hur Wadsworth made a matchless Boy Blue. Miss Alva is as naturally graceful as she is pretty and that’s saying all that could he said for gracefulness. She’s a winsome lit tle woman. Mistress Mary was well inter, preted by Miss Mattie Baily, daugh ter of Mr. James Bailey, down the Coosa. Miss Baily has a sweet voice and was easily at home be fore the footlights. Zula Adkins was a charming Gill. The truth is Zula Adkins is a charming little lady and always reflects credit on the family coat of arms no matter what the char acter in the cast or when the occa sion. And Janie Hawkins and Katie O’Rear as Silver Bell and Cockle- Shell were a pair of charming little lasses. Miss Stella Green was a “hope less Taffy.” Miss Stella has a won. derfully sweet voice and shows its cultivation. Miss Cora Clark took the part of Lady Lea and was assisted by the star of the evening, Miss Ma mie Parish, the most self sufficient, flouncy little piece of disdain and vanity that ever warbled a bird like note from a stage. Mamie P.. - ish can act the “little vixoii to perfection. Then came the Graduation exer cises of the Eighth Grade, the first number of which was recitation by Miss Abbie Mo es: “King David's Lament;” followed by Miss Hill’s Recitation of “How Ruby Played. Miss Moses and Miss Hill are both dark eyed Southern beauties and each is a girl of ability and talent. The valedictory wos charmingly delivered by Miss Lula West, as fair a maid n and accomplished a little lady as ever grew up in the Hill City. •And then President of the B >ard of School Trustees, M. M. Pepper, came forward and surrounded 1 y the School’s staff of teachers ami the Board of Trustees and facing the Graduating class, he made a. happy little speech ami “forked over” the mucg ooveied “sheep skins.” Superintendent Harris, t tanked the audience and ordered the cur tain and a most happy crowd dis ported to the four quarters of the ' city and the surburbs thereof.
