Our school closed last Fri-
day. Quite a large crowd
came to attend the closing ex-
ercises which were composed
of nice speeches and essays,
and showed that the children
had been under good manage-
ment of Prof. Lewis, our
teacher, who returned to his
home near Rockdale Saturday
evening.—Little Star local.
Editorial—The editor of the
Recorder sympathizes with
his fellow newspaper men in
Wortham, Mexia and neigh-
boring prairie towns—not be-
cause they do not live in good
business towns; but because
they know not the sweetness
of life when nature in her
grandest and most charming
form is next door neighbor.
Where the melody of the
feathered songsters fill the
air, and the perfumes of na-
ture’s own flowers is like the
sweetest essence. Where wo-
man—God’s most perfect and
exalted creation—excels in
noble traits of character and
possesses all that tends to
place womankind above all
else that pertains to beauty—
heart, face and form. Yea,
verily, brethren, we feel for
thee deeply, for such is not
your lot. Though you point
with pride to your railroads,
your large, commodious busi-
ness houses, and your many in-
dustries—we in the brush, are
“the salt of the earth.”
Mr. H. J. Griffith and Miss
Relda Otts. two of our popular
and well known young people,
were the contracting parties in
a quiet home wedding last
Sunday evening at the resi-
dence of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Otts; Rev.
J. L Russell performing the
ceremony that united the lives
of the two young people. Only
a few relatives and friends
were present. May their lot
together be one of happiness
and prosperity.
