Repot ted for The Robestinian. 'The nation's birtbday, just one day late, A host of friends did celebrate; The Fifth is our holiday On Hickory Hills just over the way." The above refers to a most novel and interesting celebration of Independence Day which took place at Hickory Hill, about four miles from town, last Tuesday. The occasion was the commence ment exercises of Hickory Insti tute, a school yet in its infancy, taught this year by Miss Bessie Boone. The stage setting was out doors among the hickory and oak trees, curtains and seats be ing conveniently arranged. Htd, white and blue Dunting and Hags were artistically ar ranged on the trees which sur rounded the stage. With the sunlight and green background the effect was beautiful. The program as given below was SDlendidlv rendered by the school: 1. ' Salutatory Address. 2. Introduction of Institute, 3. ''Bern' Good." 4. Tribute to Liberty repre sented by a May Queen, a June Bride, a July Goddess, and an Au gust King of Harvest. 5. Recitation -4 'AnOldSweet heart of Mine." 6. "Hurrah for the Fourth." 7. Patriotic Quiz. 8. Song "Farewell Hickory Hill." Picnic lunch. 9. "Thank Heaven the Ta ble's Set." Especial mention must be made of that picnic lunch. It was all that could be desired in the way of good things. Near the end of the feast Miss Lois Boone gave a beautiful toast to the guests. Miss Hettie Boone gave a splen did toast to the hostesses, faculty and students of Hickory Insti tute. One of the most striking num bers on the program was the song "Hurrah for the Fourth' It was composed by Miss Boone for the occasion and sung to the tune of "Dixie." The words are so patriotic that others will ap preciate them beside the writer, so a copy is given below: HURRAH FOR THE FOURTH. (Tune "Dixie") There's a hint of gladness in the air, With crackers booming every where; Hurrah for the Fourth! The Fourth of July! Chorus: Then we'll shout and sing together, Hurrah! Hurrah! With colors flying through all weather To keep alive independence Away !A way! Away in all America! With Uncle Sam to back our boast, And Billy Taft-the Nation's Hurrah! Our country's all right. (Chorus) 1 here s history, too, to matte us great. With honors heaped on every State, Hurrah! Let go! Three cheers for Jefferson! (Chorus) But let us sing the old, yet new Of Washington, the Wonder True, So great, so brave, His country did save ! (Chorus) We'll ever revere stars so white, Salute the red and blue at sight, Hurrah! Our flag! The bravest that floats! (Chorus) The Uppermost Topic.
