SCHOOL CLOSES
TODAY.
Graduates Receive Diplo¬
mas. Teachers for
Another Year.
The spring term of Pelham High
School closes today after a most
successful term under the princi
palship of Prof. A. L. Ivey. No
commencement exercises were
held but the yearly examinations
were given and promotion granted.
The graduating class was small,
consisting of Miss Mamie Spence
and Miss Ruth Mansfield,
to whom diplomas were awarded.
Prof. Ivey will not be with the
school another year, inasmuch as
Prof. Wilkinson will return in the
fall to his former position as prin¬
cipal. Mr. Wilkinson has been
taking a special course of study
at the University of Nashville
since January and later will take a
summer course at Chicago Univer¬
sity.
Mr. Ivey was elected to fill his
place during the spring and has
been entirely successful in his
control and guidance of the school.
It will be of much gratification
to the patrons of the school to
know that Misses Norton, Hanks,
McDow and Huie have accepted
positions in the school another
year. It isnot yet determined
whether the other teachers elected
will return.
The school closes today in order
to give the children an opportunity
to attend the annual Sunday
School picnic tomorrow.

IT’S A FACT
There was a young fellow, I told
Who suffered with Chills, LaGrippe and Cold,
But he is not troubled any more,
For he came in a hurry to our store
And a bottle of Chill-O-Rine to him was sold.

U. D. C. Entertainment.
The attractive display of rare
curios and old war relics held in
the park last Friday evening was a
most enjoyable occasion socially,
as well as instructive from a stand¬
point of history.
Especially interesting among
the war relics was a “Joe Brown
Pike,” a weapon designed by
Georgia’s war Governor to arm the
old men and young boys who en¬
listed toward the close of the war,
who themselves on foot had to
fight cavalrymen. The original
manuscript granting furlough to
Mr. A. S. McCollum of Baconton
attracted the interest of the young
and old. Various and numerous
other priceless contributions tend¬
ed to the success of the occasion.
Ice cream, sherbet and cake
were served liberally during the
evening.
The average man feels slighted
when he gets into trouble and the
world doesn’t stop to notice.

Great Sight In Sky Next
Friday Night.
New York, May 18.—Prof.
Harold Jacoby of Columbia Uni¬
versity, will not remain by his tel¬
escope during the period of con¬
tact between the earth and the
comet’s tail tonight, being con¬
vinced that no phenomena worth
observing will be noted.
“These comet parties will have
a lonesome job,” said Prof. Jacoby
today. “Tonight we shall not be
able to see the comet, because it
sets with the sun. There will be
a great sight in the western sky
Friday night. It will be more
brilliant than it was in the morn¬
ing. Look for it at the spot
where the sun goes down, and
after the first night look for a
shaft of light reaching up into the
heavens until it seems like a rain¬
bow cut in two.”
