THE DANBURY REPORTER ; COMMENCEMENT AT 1 1 CENTRAL ACADEMY A Stokes County Student Wins A Diploma This year. ' Central Academy in Patrick county is rapidly taking place as one of the leading schools in arts, science, and teacher-train ; ing of Virginia. In all depart ments attendance averages more i than 400 annually, Students have always attended from our 1 county—2i> altogether have en rolled. This year a Stokes boy captured one of the beautiful {diplomas issued by this papular institution. A local paper has the fo'lowing to say of the re cent commencement exercises there : Mr. Chas. A. Hylton was the lucky Stokes boy this year. It was a great day and the | fine crowd present was a splendid tribute to the educational idea in the heart of the county. Of a two day program crowded into one, but two numbers were missing, ar.d they were supplied, so that all things considered,, with the weather perfectly fair, it was a rousing time for school enthusiasm. This has been the best school year, so far, for Central Acade my in every way. Besides the day scholars, students have at-, tended from all parts of the county—from Stella to Tuggles Gap, from Nettle Ridge to Buf falo Ridge, from Fayerdale to Ararat, from Woolwine to May berry, from Shuff t) Mountain View, from Elamsville to Nunn's Store, from Peters Creek to Vesta and from all the surround-. ing counties and States young, men and young women came to, make their best efforts to pre pare for more useful service in > (life. There were 19 graduatesi lin the State Normal Course. The addresses of Atty. R. E. I Woolwine, Supt. J. Fay Rey -1 nolds and Rev. Dr. W. R. Laird, I of Danville, were listened to at tentively by the people and at their conclusion each was given I hearty appluse. These talks I were most excellent examples of their kind and added much! (inspiration to the occasion. They ! will not easily be forgotten, and all were deeply appreciative of the presence of tiies-j gentlemen, all of whom ars enthusiastically ' interested in educational advan cement in all the land, i Music was of the usual high i order and the participants, whether with the band or the : piano, with either solos or duets, or in the vocal choruses, each i contributed much to the pleasure jand enjoyment of the day. There have been 75 piano stu dents and 101 band students at Central Academy. The orators , among graduates are entitled to much credit for their w:rk and were generally much praised for their earnest efforts to excel. Their names are : Rosa Ruth Mullins, Bessie Salmons, Dovie May Atkins, Hattie Bertha •'Brammer, Rosa Louvina Cock ram;- Esther Barnard Kali and jFred Clifton. Fine Ind amus ing recitations were also well given by Rossi Elizabeth Hopkins, -Lelia France Fiilcher and Clara Maud Fulcher. •' In Presenting the diplomas. Prof. YVm. E. Todd, President |of the Academy, addressed the topic : "The School, the Class I and the Greater Life," encourag ing the scholars all to be satis fied with nothing but the best they can think of and prepare to do in the beneficent work of the world. Those graduating in the normal grade were: Rosa Bertha Mullins, Julia Fannie Morgan, Hattie Bertha Brammer, Olive May Atkins, Lelia Frances Fulcher, Chas. A. Hylton, Olive Louvina Cockram, Eva Dell Smith, Chas. Swanson Dunkley, Clara Maud Fulche, Isham Justin Barnard, Dove May Atkins, Bessie Salmons, Esther Barnard Hall, Arthur A. Brad shaw, Brooksie Helen Smith, Fred Clifton, Alvin Myric Barnard and John W. Frye. All these students made good pass ing grades, and Miss Mullins, whose name heads the list, won the prize, making ten studies the the highest general average. Mrs. Todd, the principal, has few superiors in preparing students for teaching. Seventy six have prepared for teaching ax this school in the last four years. "The Workers' Song," given by the primary department, at tracted much attention from j the fact that the singers were nil at work- doing the things of which they were singing. The attractive drill, entitled "The! Highland Fling," used in j Scottish festivals for a thousand! years, was given in costume by twelve girls. It was done so well that a gentleman present, i who had seen it given in London j by Scotch lasses, said our girls gave it much mo:e gracefully | ar.d truly. This was a most; pleasing success. Those taking part were the Misses Lou Nolen, , Brooksie Smith, Julia Morgan. | Maggie Martin Una Scott, Zelma, Soyars, Texas Cruise, Rosai Hopkins, Giorgie Layman, Pearlie Earls, Ljnnie Layman J and Smith. A great troup of scouts of, whom there are -1G at this school now, fired a farewell salute, a, game of ball was played between . Meadows of Dan and Stuart > teams, photos were taken and! a tired but happy crowd made their way homeward, well paid' to hava spmt th • day with! Central Academy again. ------- Eaiar Work for tin Ming 11:::. Can we farmers help our wives avoid the usuai rush of all-day cooking at threshing time? Surely we can, if we so desire, and that is what we are trying to do in our neighborhood. The writer has been talking about this matter to his neighbors and most of them agreed to organize for this sort of work and help. How are we going to do it? Simply thus: Everyone of us, when going to help his neighbor at threshing tinv.i, will have his breakfast at home, will take his dinner along with him, and wiil ' come home for his own supper. : Thus our wives will have their work only to perform-, and we man will nut lv any worse , for it.--The Progressive Farmer.

I have just read an article in a western agricultural paper where the writer seems greatly ejated that he has found an apple tree a hundred years old. Evidently he does not know that we have in Patrick county many apple trees considerably past the century mark, bearing and in a healthy condition. Nowhere in all the world do apple trees live as long, grow as large and bear as much fruit as they do in Patrick county, Va. The Taylor orchard is more than a century and half old: the trunk of the Handy apple tree is about six feet in diameter, and the Adams tree, only a few miles from Stuart, bore in one fruit. I can mention many in stances where trees have been j bearing for more than a hundred j years, and some of these old i monarchs are so immense in size I that we are reminded of the j mighty oaks of the forest. I am sometimes right much amused at the boasts and claims ! of our Western and Pacific Coast brethren, some of whom can say many very beautiful things about their well exploited section but few of us know that we have some counties in Virginia pro ducing more apphs annually than the States of Oregon, Wash-; ington and Idaho combined. We' have without doubt the finest apple soil, the best climate natural water supply, good sys-; tem of labor, near the best : markets, and numerous other: i advantages, which, in my opinion j ought to place us in the front ; ranks of apple growers every-, where. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I want to say that we have grown j in our "Stuart Orchard" the, largest winesaps ever known. 1 thirteen and a half inches around, running less than sixty! to the bushel, and York and other varieties so large that j sometimes our friends jokingly ] remark that our apples look like ■ pumpkins. But do not think i for a minute we neglect color, j and best of all, flavor, for si::e, j as we can easilv Drove and verv ' readily demonstrate that Patrick county apples are superior to all others. !
