Barton academy opened its basket
ball season lasf Friday evening by
defeating Greensboro high 54 to 16,
before" a large audience in Durkee's
hall. Both teams played well, not
withstanding the fact that this was
their first game. The early minutes
of the game found the teams battling
evenly, but before the first half ended
Barton had locafed the basket and
had a commanding lead which they
held throughout the contest. The
feature of the game was the accurate
shooting of Capt. Cornish and Lewis,
the former caging 13 baskets and
two foul throws, -while the latter ac
counted for 11 baskets. Thompson
and Batten played well for Greens
boro. '

the talent is the Embers quartet. This
quartet comes from Los Angeles, Cal.,
and is a noted Pacific coast male quar
tet with their own accompanist.
The other numbers come on Janu
ary 24, February 21 and March 22.
Except for the fact that the Le
gion has taken hold of the Lyceum
course Barton would not have had
one this year and they risk consider
able money in putting it on, the cost
of the course being something like
$600. Let us show our appreciation
by supporting the course. If it fails
to pay its way this year the prospects
will, not be bright for a course next
year. '

Methodist Church Fair.
The Alliance fair held last week
Wednesday at the Methodist church
was financially and in every other
way the greatest- success in years.
More booths than usual were set up
this year and the articles which they
contained ' were numerous and at
tractive. The supper served by the
committee in charge was voted by all
who partook of it as A No.l.
The amount realized from the. sale
and supper cannot be definitely stat
ed at this time as some of the mfihey
has not yet been turned over to the
treasurer, but it will ..be noted with
great satisfaction that the money
raised last week" will be more than
enough to finish paying for all of the
work done on the parsonage this sum
mer and fall, which amounted to sev
eral hundred dollars and included re
building chimney, shingling and
painting the buildings, and building
and screening in a" large 30-foot piaz
za, besides other necessary repairs.
Every cent of the money for this work
has been raised by the Woman's Al
liance, through faithful work in the
last year and a half.
n F"?ay evening an entertain
ment and box social was given by the
primary school. The pupils acted
their parts remarkably well and were
well patronized in their endeavor. A
good sum was netted from their food
and .box sale.
A pleasant birthday surprise party
was given Mr. Sturtevant at his
boarding place Saturday evening. Ai
a pleasant reminder of their appre
ciation of his work with them his stu
dents and fellow teachers presented
him with a fountain pen. Sandwiches
cake and coffee were served.
We regret the absence from school
of bylvia Hinton, made necessary by
the serious illness of her mother.
Students in the junior room have
transferred to tKe main room, thus
trivia a better opportunity to equip
their room more exclusively for the
home economics class. Oil stoves,
cooking utensils and a sewing ma-,
chine have been added to the equip
m?t of home economics room.
The home economics class will have
