On ge audience, un Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, on the school campus the class day ex- crcises were given. . This was one of ! the most interesting of the com - Hieneement exercises, the weather being ideal for out-door features. I On Monday evening the graduating exercises took place at the school j auditorium. The first on the prog-i ram for Monday evening was an es - i nay, VComparibOd of the Froebel and . Montessori Kindergarten Systems, 'I read by Miss Delia Kirk. This show-; ed that the author was thoroughly ; acquainted with her subject, as it i was handled in a masterful way. Miss Gay Sibley read a paper "The Bene fits of Prohibition to North Caro lina", quoting from statesmen such ns Glenn. Webb and others, to ear ly out and clinch her argument. The next was an orig'-nal article on "Wood.-ow Wilson", by Miss Helen Tail-irt. Miss Talbirt in her article briefly sketched the life of our pre.-i- d.T.t "l.rin.Hn.r ,,. t,.:lits f his , r.r. suiter and pesonaHty, with which only the close student is acquainted. ; Her tribute to the naticn's chief exe cutive was received with enthusiasm by the large number present. This was followed by a Duet, Qui Vivi (W. Ganz) rendered beautifully by Misses Cornelia -Sample and Ida Eelle Ham. Miss Emma Alison read an article on "Child Labor in the Kcuth", which was a source of in formation to many and which was wfell gotten up. The paper on "Pre paredness" read by Miss Cornelia Sample was ore completely filled with facts as to the present strength of our army and r.avy , as well as a summary cf what the Y,'ilson Ad Tmristration has done ond is doing along the lines of furthering the cause of National preparation. Miss Roxie Crowder read an essay on "The Educational Feature of Moving Pictures", briefly mentioning the treat educational advantages of the moving pictures, of the proper kind, as to travel, scerery, etc., bringing out many suggestions never before thought of by many, f.; to the value of the movies. .After this program the six gradu ates were called to the front where oach was presented with a beautiful ly bound Tolume of the Holy Bible, with a short address which was in teresting and to tbe point. The dip lomas were then presented by Mis8 F. E. Ufford, who was greeted with applause by tbe audience. Miss Uf ford's short address was listened too, both by the young ladies and the crowd, with bated breath. Though uhort it was delivered in that kindly, motherly way, which characterizes that good woman. She closed with the words, "My prayer is that your daughters mty be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace." After her short address in presenting the diplomas she breathed a short prayer and called down a blessing on the young women going out from the school into the world. This address and prayer on the part of Miss Ufford was especial ly touching by reason of its possibly being the last page in her work di rectly in the school. As she proceed ed in that low, tender and well modu lated voice the fall of a pin could almost have been heard throughout L. ,v. v,. The promotions were then rel hj the Lady Principal, Mrs. .va xtarns , and with a song by the student body una wiin the exercises closed .!

CORN, per bu 90c to $1 FLOUR, per bag $3.60 to $3.75 AL- The time has arrived when Albemarle must have better streets. To put this matter off wiil simply mean the retarding of the city's growth, and an unsavory reputation for r.on pi ogl esniveness. The city government stands ready to meet Albemarle prop erty owners more than half way in paving our streets. A tentative plan now being dis cussed is as follows: To pave Main street from Southbound Depot street on the West to Fourth street, on the East; also to pave main por tions of First and Second streets. It is understood that property owners along these streets may be given a chance to pay one-third of cost of the paving in front of their prop erty; that the city will loan money to cover immediate de mands, payable in five or ten years. The Enterprise is not author ized to give out this informa tion as definite. Other plans may be adopted, with which the public will be acquainted. Whatever is done will be done thoroughly, and the city gov ernment should have the hearty co-operation of every citizen and pruperty cvvner in Albemarle. i , , NORWOOD .METHODIST CHURCH I Iist September the Methodist church went into the hands of Pickler Brothers, contractors, of Albemarle. whose contract embraced the erection of an annex on the east side of the house, 2Sxl4 feet, two stories high, ito contain ten Sunday school rooms, '.hnri h This work w.-is done as t:il job has required about eight months PAN El) STREETS FOR KEMARI.E. 1 time, and has resulted in a praeti-jthe !
