The Liberty Normal College closed another gocul year's work last week. lhe commencement days proper were on Monday and Tues' day and the fttendance was even greater than previous years. Mon day evening was the occasion of the reciters contest. Miss "Lnra ( Bowman, of Liberty. was the winner of the prize. While all the others were creditable, it is well to say that Misses Lala Brown of Ramseur, and Bronie Coble, of Liberty, deserve spesial mention On Sunday, May 20, the Annual sermon was preached by Hev. C. E. Maddry, of Greensboro, X. C. The preacher took for his text, Esther, fourth chapter and the last part of the fourteenth verse: "W no Knowetn whether thou art come to the King dom for such a time as this? His theme was Individual Opportunity We scarcely evi-r have the privilege of hearing" as strong a sermon as was this. The speaker's words were with power and we believe they will have lasting mlluences tor goon. The next exercise tooK place on Monday night, May -.2 1st. Ten young ladies contested for the Ke epers' Medal, and the class in music furnished the music for the-occasion.

His address was a stronii plea for the education of all our children, lie pleads for si ch an education of mind, heart, and body, us would eiialde the student to go out and become a leader in his chosen calling, or at least to be able n compete successfully with his fellow man in the race of life. He says that the rtason some men. nay even most men fail, is not that thev did not have it in them to suc ceed, but that they did not have the chance. The child who is trained and educated may have no more mental pow er or ability than the one w ho has not; the reason he succeeds above the other is that he had the chance to develop what was in him while the other had not. It is the parent's duty to give his children a chance, to seud them to the Liberty Normal College where they will have a chance, and then the parent may be assured of their success in life. On Tuesday night the program was varied. Two plays, A Pretty Piece of Property and Vanity Van quished were given. The former by Misses Mary "Thompson, Minnie Seawell and Effie Kichardson; the latter was given by Misses Sal lie Durham, Carmen Grimes, Lalah Brown and Hassie Jones. Messrs. W. I. Ward aad Joe Hamlin were the gentlemen actors in the first and D. A. Neece in the second. The special feature of this pro gram was a butterfly drill given by sixteen young ladies. It was highly enjoyed. The jantomime "The Holy City" aad the tableaux were exceedingly well rendered. An Old Lad? Dies at Worlhvllle.

Hill again, and taken from them, the triplets that were left motherless some nine months ago. No doubt it is well remembered that during the latter part of last summer, triplets were born at his home, and that after two weeks ill ness the mother was taken from their midst leaving the home deso late and sad, wirh the little ones still living. They grew nicely through the loving tender care of the family's watchfulness and de votion until recently, when taken with something like teething and died very soon, all at nearly the same time. The little girl, Rosa, was first to go, and ditd on the 22nd and buried the 23id. The little boys, Roland an I Reg. n, both d'ed on the 24th and were buried in the same grave with Rosa on the 25th. Thus they all three now sleep side by side near the loving mother who went before them, and all are joined together in the Paradise above, ! where there is l est evermore.
