The parade formed at the court house and was headed by the Mars Hill College Band which rode in a wagon drawn by two of Z a d e Sprinkle's finest horeses. After the parade was over came address delivered by Dr. R. F" Campbell of the First Presbyter ian Church a t Asheville. Dr. Campbell delivered a splendid ad dress and was heard by a full house, On Friday night came the recitation and declamation contest participated by the select ed'graduates of " the various 'pub ic schools of the pounty. Two medals were offered, one by the Citzen's Bank of Marshall for the best declaration, one b y Bank of Frennch Broad for the best recitation. The girl's medal was won by Miss Trissie Ammons. Miss Ammons frequently brought the house down." Her recitation was equal, in its deliv ery, to any that w e have ever neard. All agreed that she was deserving of t h e medal. The medal offered for the best decla mation was won by Vance Brown but close to him were Clarence Eller and John McElroy. It was rather diflcult for the judges t o decide between these three. All of the contestants did well 1 n both the contests. The declama tion medal was delivered by E. Zeph Ray a n d the recitation medal by Miss Carry Kinsland. There were eighty-eight grad uates who recieved diplomas from the county Superintendent, Prof. R. G. Anders. The diplomas, or rather certificates of comple tion of the seventh grade work, were signed b y the different members of the Board of Educa. tion and the county Superinten dent. ; They should prove an. in centive to hard work among the children in the public schools of the county.

Said Brother Smith, "The people of this com muity know that I am a good moral man. I have never sinn ed. I wouldn't do such a thing. I think it would be degrading to me to join the church." In a case like that don.t you think Brother Smith would be taking rather high ground? On a sys tem like that you can figure out justhow long it would take to establish one church in the com munity. On that basis how long would it take to set set up the kingdom on earth? On that basis about how long would it take you to figure out just what sort of a man Brother Smith was?
