spoke feelingly of the Providences of God.  The quartette sang "In the
Garden" and the "Beautiful Garden of Prayer" a favorite of Nancy.

chair that can never by filled.

Locust-school notes-

The community is proud of the record the Locust team made in the two
tournaments as they defeated both Sanders and Ghent in the District
tournament, making them champions and made a good showing against the strong
Port Royal team in the regional.  The following letter has been received
from the secretary of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association:

Mr. R.J. Wade, Principal
Locust High School, Carrollton, Ky.

Dear Mr. Wade:  From the District tournament report I see the Locust High
School won the Class B Championship. Probably you may not know that your
high school has the smallest enrollment of any member school in the
association, and I want to congratulate your team on its championship...Tell
your boys I am pulling for them.  YVT, R.E. Hill, Secretary-treasurer.

  Mr. Hill probably does not know that it took our entire high school
enrollment (boys) and two from the grades to make up our squad.  A real
compliment to the fighting qualities of our students.

Married-May 18, Robert Green and Mildred Denning, colored, of Ghent

Interesting Items of Long Ago: A.T. Metcalf sent to this office this week a
copy of the Carrollton Democrat of July 7, 1894, in which is given an
interesting account of a school entertainment at Locust, written by the late
Geo. Dallas Mosgrove, who was teaching the school at that time.  The
following notes, taken from the article, will be read with interest by many
of our older citizens.

A stage had been prepared for the occasion by Elmer Kagle.  Music was
furnished by an orchestra composed of Louis Breek, cornet; Henry Phillips,
bass horn; Bert Metcalf, leading violin; Meck Rosell, second violin, Fred
Packham, guitar.

Dallas Taylor played for the marches, executed by 16 girls, Rhoda Pulliam
and Anna Thurman being leaders.  Annie K. Cribbins, Margie Shoots, Florence
Chatham, Bob Robinson and Dallas Taylor constituted a quintette of singers.

"The Cross" a spectacular representation in 12 parts was rendered by the
school:  Margie Shoots, Annie Cribbins, Susie Driskell, Anna Thurman, Rhoda
Pulliam, Florence Chatham and Mabel Mosgrove carrying flowers, while little
Lena Pulliam made a speech.

Others who took part in the exercises were Maude Thurman, Jessie Gray, Mary
Cribbins, Mattie King, Jimmie Mosgrove, Oscar Hanlon, Grace Humphrey,
Clarence Morrow,Shirley Kendall, Gertie Harsin.
