it was their duty to strive on-

and to do all they could for
the general uplift of the human

Y Walter Washington4, cq^red,
had a horse stolen i Saturday

horses, or believed.the stock law
should be rigidly enforced, came
along and took him away. The
matter was reported to. Sheriff
Houchins and the county will
doubtless have another contribu-
tion to make to the colony of
horse thieves at Huntsville.

and as is usual, the young ladies
of the class came in for a full
measure of credit Miss Carrie
Bennett read the history of the
class in her most attractive and
pleasant manner. The class poem
by Miss Alma.Neuhaus was ex-
ceptionally well received and
was listened to With rapt atten-
tion by the large audience. The
class prophecy by Miss Frances
Bennett was indeed a credit to
the young lady,, and her gaze in-
to the fu tfire beheld many things
of importance in store for the
class of 1911.
Deserving of special mention
was the chorus, ‘‘Hunter’s
Song.” ''This feature was under
the direction of Mrs. H. M. Tip-
pett, assisted by Miss Lola
Arnim, and the eluant manner
in which it was carried out re-
flected great credit upon those
having it in charge.
Too much cannot be said in
praise of Prof. Jones and his
corps of efficient assistants, who
have been untiring in their ef-
forts in giving Hallettsville a
school second to none in the
state. And that the efforts of
the superintendent have been
appreciated is attested in a re-
solution by the school board com-
mending him for his success in
placing the school to that high
standard it has attained.
Dr. R. T. Milner, president of
the A. & M. College, who was
to have delivered the graduat-
ing address, was unavoidably
detained, and Prof. McKnight, a
member of the faculty of the
same school, was sent to’ repre-
sent Dr. Milner. Mr. McKnight
made a talk along practical lines,
which received the very closest
attention throughout. Being con-
nected with the agricultural de-
partment of the college he laid
particular stress upon the con-
servation of the soil, and also
treated upon the scientific side
of agriculture and the sub-
sequent, benefits to be derived
from adhering to the rules laid
down by thq state and federal
governments, who are spending
millions annually for the better-
rment of this pfiase of commerce.
. The diplomas . were presented
by Hop. Friench Simpson. Mr.
Simprafi addressed the class
briefly and offered some valuable
in them. “There is strug-
gle,” raid Mr. Simpson, “con-
stantly going -on to hinder and
retard the growth of our splen-
did institutions. E v e ryo n e
should gird himself for the con-
flict to suppress the crying evils
of the day of graft, selfishness
and avarice so common in the
mad rush for gain and place, of
law and the evil spirit, which
snaps its fingers in the face of
justice and threatens to imder-
mine the very foundatiels of
our civil government. Turn to
the prints of the day ' and you
see labor boldly
death and destruction by d
miting the property
dare to disagree
the one hand,
victed of the
ing of legislatures*
justice and departments of state
on the other. And thus N you
see, what the nation needs is
men—brave men; honest men
with the power and the will to
see right and do right”
The class was composed of
Misses Fannie and Carrie Ben-
net, Alma Neuhaus and Messrs.
Leslie von Rosenberg and Roy
Young.
Valuable
Leslie von Rosenberg, a mem-
ber of the graduating class of
the Hallettsville high school for
the present yesr, Friday Umt
presented to the school a com-
plete history of the world, com-
piled from the works of the most
famous authors of ancient and
modern times. The work is in
ten volumes and is a most valu-
able acquistion to the school li- *
brary. The, gift is indeed an
appreciated one and Mr. Rosen- -
berg has the sincerest thanks of
the faculty and pupils.
