The past week has been a busy
one In the Deport school, a full
program of the activities to be
held were published in last
week’s issue. On last Friday
evening the pupils in music and
public speaking rendered a splen-
did program to a large audience
at the auditorium. All the per-
formers were heartily applauded,
especially two numbers by little
Miss Pauline Dickson. The pro-
gram will be found on tho third
page of this issue.
On Saturday evening the grade
students rendered a program of
tive numbers,and Superintendent
Covey awarded the promotion
certificates and grammar school
diplomas.
On Sunday morning at 11
o’clock the baccalaureate sermon
was preached by Rev. J. L. Mor-
ris, presiding elder of this dis-
trict, at the auditorium, all the
churches dismissing their morn-
ing services.
On Monday morning at ten
o’clock the class day exercises
were held.
Monday evening at nine o’clock
the graduating class, assisted b£
others, presented the class play,
"All on Account of Polly.” Ow-
ing to inclement weather, the
audience was not as large as it
would have been otherwise. The
play was one of the best home
talent productions ever seen
here.
On Tuesday evening the com-
mencement exercises were held,
and the principal address was
delivered by Prof. E. E. Davis of
Austin, who is connected with
the department of education. It
was one of the most practical
talks ever delivered to a gradu
ating class in Deport. Superin-
tendent E. L. Covey in a few
well chosen words delivered di
plomas to the following: Misses
Gladys Smith, Mattie Ruth Stalls
Nita Webb, Dora Griffin, Flor-
ence Simmons, Gera Anderson
and Annie Laurie Strickland,
Messrs. F. Fagan Thompson and
Gordon Evans. The program
also included four musical num
bers and two papers.
This closes the school year of
1918 19 at Deport—the most sue
cessful we have ever had. This
in spite of the influenza, which
kept the school closed for weeks
last fall. The time lost, however,
was made up on Saturdays.
There were eight months free
school and one month of sub
scription, and it is believed there
will be funds on hand to pay for
a full nine months term of free
school next year.
With the exception of Prof.
Covey, who will remain in De
port for a short while, all the
teachers have returned to their
homes. Misses Allene and Jew-
el Gray to Floyd, Bertha Bates
to Cooper, Addie Davidge to Par
is, Prudence Haun and Ora Fin-
ley to Celina. The last three
will return to Deport this fall
for the next term of school.

Mack Read sold 125 bales of
cotton last Saturday. He receiv-
ed 37 cents per pound for fifty
bales, and 36% cents for seventy

price has been so low that had he

The purchase price was more
than$25,000, and Mr. Read states
that he just about broke even on
the deal._
