Dora Mystic Llndlev Co.
The Dora Mystic kindley Com
pany greeted the theatre goers at
the Masonic Opera House Monday
evening. A three act comedy en
titled "The Circus Girl" was
presented for the amusement ot
the audience. The company did
not fail to amuse those present,
for the ever-ready wit of Harry
Undley usually is sufficient to
amuse anv audience. The play iu
its entirety was passably fair, but
not near so good as Harry Lindley
usually puts on the stage.
The performance Tuesday ave
uing, "The Girl From the Golden
West"', was of the same character
of that played Monday night, but
was not nesrly so well presented.
But for Harry Lindley's wit there
would have no life in it at all.
The performance of Wednesday
was nothing more than a rehearsal
it being the first time that the play
had ever beetl attempted by the plav
ers. The play was entitled, "A
Daughter's Sacrifice".' It was
really "Haael Kirke" under an as
sumed name.
The specirttidK,introduced were
good;"h«*f were practically the
same at each performance.

CdebratlQi el Washington s Birth
da?—Closing 01 the School and
Speaking
(Special Correspondence)
Last Friday Griffins district ad
ded another chapter to her illus
trious history It being a general
holiday for the people to observe
aud celebrate the birth ol General
Washington aud also the public
school came to an end. The cel
ebration of the birth of Washing
ton and the chool commencement
combined mode one of the noblest
and graudest events that this dis
trict has ever been heir to. The
crowd did uot number as many as
dip at some of our political pic
nics, but the number was large.
As toon as the sun began to
warm the air the people began to
gather at the school house which is
on the same lot that the historic
Smithwick Creek church »tands.
The people assembled and dis
cussed the general topics of the
day until noon wheu there Was
spread a haudsome diuner of which
was. partook freely and at one
o'clock the bell tapped and all
gathered tb the school building to
hear the address of the principal,
Mr. Sylvester Peele. upon the life,
character and habits of .Washing
ton. He spoke at length of Wash*
ington's boyhood days aud de
clared to the boys of the school
that the life of Washington should
be followed for his traits are
worthy to be followed socially,
morally and intellectually.
After the conclusion of Mr.
Peel there were several reci
tations and dialogues bearing upon
the history of Washington which
were entertaining aud instructive,
and good for the moral, intellect
ual development of the community.
When the school exercises were
over Mr. Plenuy Peel addressed
school and said ih part:
Mr. Teacher, - dear nthdfcnts,
parents, ladies and gentlemen, 1
am before you to speak to you of
our past and present history and
to predict for our future. 1 am
glad to say that 1 am a citizen of
this district; when 1 say I am glad
I say it with pride, for I have a
reason-to proud of the moral and
intellectual record of this district.
I will challenge any rural district
in the county, if not any one,
upon the class of men turned out.
We have produced as fine brain
as has ever beeu produced in the
county of Martin. We have in
this house today as fine material
to make noble men aud womcu and
are we going to let this material go
undeveloped; are we going td
think more of the almighty dollan
than we do our sons and daugh
ters, are we going to cultivate
field crops and let the minds of our
children go untutored? No! No!
I will answer . We must do bet
ter in the future than in the past.
We must continue t.he fight against
illiteracy until it is finally blotted
out froi» this community. There
is but one way to blot it out, and
that is by self sacrifice.
I hope before many years we
_ . ,T—»m- rair rr
may have a school running eight
months In the yeai instead of four.
We Can h«ve it for the state stands
ready aud willing to bet}* us.
After Mr. l*ee! twk his sent the
principal made a strong appeal to
the parents and to the children
to follow the footsteps of the pai-t
and continue to improve our good
reputation, for we must l>e not like
dumb driven cattle but hewers In
the field of progress.
The crowd then sang: "My
Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land
of Liberty."
