The children of Junior Chautauqua Saturday afternoon presented the "Pageant of Average Town." The tent was well-filled; the pity even then was that there were not ten times as many people present The pageant was as well rendered as could be by juveniles after only a week's training. There were tiny fairies. little woods folks, and the like, and a mosquito, a fly, etc, well made up, who were banished by a good woman to whom the children had suppositi- tiously pointed out the light Songs and short speeches were had, and the little citizens of "Average Town," which was Kinston, acquitted them selves creditably. "We are proud of our town," was acclaimed to the world from a gaudy red banner, and "are you proud of us?" brought applause. They were not all parents that com prised the audience, either. Chautauqua has as one of its ob jects the perfecting of the embryo citizens, rather than teaching old dogs new tricks. The chautauqua is a link in this way between the par ents and the schools. "Clean up and brighten up" was the theme of the "Pageant of Average Town." , The Varkony-Hines Company gave a splendid concert The piano accom paniment of Mr. Gabriel 'Hines and his piano solos were very good, as were the selections of Mr, Varkony and Miss Oliver.

Mrs. Pickett surprised her audience in the display of real platform ability.

Stie spoke of her beloved husband and told of their iromantic meeting ''Sand court ship. She was but a child then, and when she married a year or more lat er, she gained the sobriquet of the "child bride of the Confederacy." Lee, Jackson, Davis, Grant, Lincoln and other notables were among her per sonal friends and of those she spoke. At the conclusion of Mrs. Pickett's address, Mrs. Yarnall, the superin tendent, a New Englander, took Mrs. Pickett's hand, and said she wished that to be taken as a token of the union of the North and South, never to be again torn asunder. The audi ence arose and applauded in a way that its sincerity could not be doubt ed. . i is- Saturday night the Varkony-Hines Company gave another concert and the Avon Players presented the play, "The Man From Home," , very cred- tably and acceptably to the large and appreciative audience. A congregation that filled the large tent attended the union religious ser vice under the chautauqua tent Sun day night On the platform were four pastors of the crty, Messrs. C. W.
