est notes, “Hot Time in the Old
Time.”
The orchesta intended taking a
part in the exercises, but one of

Winters Literary Association.
Last Saturday eve will be long
remembered as the time of the
most enjoyable meeting ever held
bv the Winters Literary Associa-
tion. For some unknown reason
the President was absent, and
after waiting some time for him, i
R. S. Kelly was called to the I
chair and presided during
meeting. Secretary Dale being
present, the minutes of the pre
vious meeting were read and ap-
pr ved. The program was then
taken up and rendered with most
satisfactory results.
The exercises were opened with
a recitation bv Miss Helen Sher-
ril. Then followed in succession
recitations bv Miss Kthel Eoff
and Miss Lillian Kelly. As these
are all quite young members
they deserve much praise for the i
elegant manner in which they
rendered their parts.
While the pieces were all good,
two, at least, deserve special at-
tention. Prof. T. A. Fannin read
that highly pathetic description
of Franklin’s visit to to his
mother. The profound attention
given to this showed conclusively
that every one present enjoyed
the reading,

like, that the
untarily spread over every face in
the audience.
As Winters has long been
noted for its excellent school and
the high literary attainments of
its citizens, we hope that the
present Association may, if pos-
sible, be ultimately brought up
to that high standard of former
years.
Miss Lillian Sheeley who is in-
structing a class in elocution, will
soon give an entertainment. The
exercises will be conducted by
teacher and pupils and as she is
an elocutionist of unusual ability
we feel assured of a rare treat.
The pupils who are taking elocu-
tion under this lady, who former-
ly taught in Henry College, are
truly proud of their teacher, and
interest in this attractive art is
rapidly developing. Stoic.

After all our church is now ready
to pccupv, so next regular Metho
dist day there will be services in
the new church. A new organ
and an intelligent choir will add
greatly to the attractiveness ot
the occasion. Everyone must be
present, fill the house to over
flowing. I can’t say when it will
be dedicated.
We are very sorry to add to the

she was disappointed, but very
glad that she cannot leave for
some time yet.

ever we surely will go when Miss
Moore recovers from the measles.
