I eiiee remained ciitic t expecting a return o iml suddenly, warning, the he auditorium he large audi tor a while, t the lights.but owing in a thunder storm the peo j pie began to move out, the musical w as declared off for the night and every one plunged through the darkness as best as they could by the aid of matches, and returned to their homes. The lights re turned at nine o'clock, but too late for ihc musical, which had been postponed till Saturday night. At that time the class appeared to ex cellent advantage in the splendid program and delighted every one who was present. Miss Musgrove as a careful and pairsiaking teach er of music and her pupils all re tiect in their work the guiding hand of one who carries them through the introductory steps up to the most difficult compositions of the great masters. At the con clusion of the concert prizes were aw arded as follow s: Mary Hold ford, for technique and best work; Fva Siainback, for interpretation: Pauline Morehead for greatest progress. Friday evening was full of inter est lor every pupil and friend of the school, the program opening with a piano duet, "Flight of the Witches," Mary Holdford and Willie Filackwell Musgrove. Then came the graduating exer cises, the class of full graduates being Ruth Barklcy, Ruth Clark, Mildred Spiers, John Johnston and (ieorge Riitenhouse. The salutatory, by Miss Barkley; "Class History," by Miss Clark, "Prophecy," by Miss Spiers, "the Class Will," by John Johnston, and "the Valedictory," by (ieorge Rineiihouse, were all excellent, showing careful preparation, thought, mind heart and an earn estness that impressed the audience most favorably. The "Class Will," by John Johnston, was most in geniously prepared, and each and every section was most enthusias tically applauded, as he proceeded to bequeath, ilem by item, such good ihinps a they po-.sessed for the benefit of die pupils fullowin" iu their wake Hon. W. ii. Daniel, chairman ting exercises there was a very pleasing event not on the program, the presentation of a beautiful pic ture of the great seal of North Carolina to the school by the Wel don Piook Club. Miss Annie W. Pierce, a mem ber of the Club, in a most graceful manner and a delightful little speech, inuodued Geo. C. Green, whom the Club had chosen to rep resent liicm in presenting the pic- lure. Mr. Green made the speech of his life. He was spokesman for an organization of splendid wo men, tne weiuon rsooK uud, as sembled in a body, and he felt that he was honored in appearing in be half of this organization, having for its object great aims and pur poses along educational lines and civic improvements. Mr. Green in well chosen words traced their work from the organization of the Club in 1910 down to the present day, and called attention to the laudable work in which the ladies of the club are engaged in estab lishing a library which they hope soon to open to all. He spoke in eloquent language ot the great seal and what the motto stood for,, that is the State of Noh Carolina says in plain English, ! To be rather than seem to be, thus putting the ban upon all shams and frauds. W. F. Daniel, chairman of the school board, on behalf of the fac ulty and pupils, accepted the pic ture in well timed words in his usual impressive manner, thanking the Club for a gift which is highly prized by the school. Then fol low ed a piano solo by Miss Fva Stauihaek, "Sextette from Lucia di l.ammermoor." Superintendent John D.

WELDON 33 YEARS AGO. From the Roanoke News, 22, 1880. May The literary society is consider ing the advisability of selling some of their lots in town to parties who will build on them. The Roanoke Literary Sneiety met Monday and elected ollieers for the ensuing year as lolbnt-: President J. ('- Simmon ; Vice-President G, G. I.vnch Treasurer - W. T. Whitfield. Secretary I.. M. Long. Executive Committee- W. II. Day, I. I., l-.mry, J. I. l-.vans The following new members w admitted: John O. Burton, ( ' T. Whitfield, R P. Spiers, I S W il limits, R. S. Hall. When the Baptist Church was dedicated Noah Biggs, Esq., of Scotland Neck, assumed the debt of the church. He has since, we learn, made the church a present of the amount and the church is now out of debt, and unencumber ed. Such generosity should be known by all men, and the exam ple followed as often as possible. V' John Dunston, the celebrated violinist, is now living in town. He was a pupil of Pomp Long's and plays very much like him. When he draws his bow and strikes up, "Gray Eagle," or "Clear the Track," people are reminded of old times when Pomp and Trim were necessities of every ball room in this section. On Monday, Major Emry, con tractor, broke ground for a three story brick building for R. W. Dan iel. It will have an inposing ap pearance and will add greatly to j Washington avenue. A few more I such buildings would make Wel don a pretty place. We congratu late Mr. Daniel on his enterprising spirit. On May 20th Thomas Martin Crowell died at his residence a few miles from Halifax, in the 81st year of his age. Mr. Crowell was a descendant of a brother of Oliver Cromwell, who came to this coun try for refuge when the crown of England was restored to Charles the Second.
