THE HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO

,jfh8 Como School will close Friday
o| this week. There will be a play
Filday night, entitled “Where’s
Grandma." It will be interesting to
old as well as young and everyone
i**eordially invited to attend. A small
•Attission will be charged.
*The primary and intermediate
gi&dea rendered their program on
Wednesday night of last week. It was
a ihost enjoyable affair. The children
shewed that very careful training
had been given them by those in
charge of the program.
The first number on the program
and one which was highly appreciat-
ed by every one, was the little play,
“The Enchanted Garden.” It was
presented by Mrs. Collins’ and Miss
Jones’ pupils. This play won first
place in the Childrens Day program
at Sulphur Springs on April 14,
1$34. It was a play in throe acts,
with a moral well worthy of imita-
tion. Two characters were seeking to
be beautiful, and the other different
diameter* in the play gave lovely
advice as to what makes real beau-
ty4 finally convincing the seekers cf
beauty that it is kind thoughts.
