Nearly 23 years Old
Mr. Lytle who was the son of Mr.
W. A. Lytle of Norfolk, would have
been 2.1 years old had he lived until
September- He was married about
five years ago to Miss' Annie Khcin

E. Reinhardt. and besides these is
survived by two little daughters and
a sister. He has been linotype oper

of n few months he spent in Concord,

faithful to his duties, considerate
of his yssr'.; bites and, a good hus'band

An audience that taxed completely
the big auditorium and overflowed
into balconies witnessed Ihe "Stolen
Flower Queen" a beautiful operetta
by the pupils ox the- south school
last night. It was a veritable child's
midsummer night's dream and
scarcely has there been a . scene as
intrancingly beuutiful as that last,
night.
Miss Virginia Allen, principal of
the South school, was director of the
operetta with Mrs. R. 5. Brown as
musical director and Miss Oneita
Miller director of the speaking parts.
They were given able assistance by
the teachers of the South school. The
execellency of the training that the
young people received was evidenced
in the fine manner in which the
operetta was given an the histororion
ie ability of the young people them
selves was remarkable and the audi
ence manifested their1 approval of the
entertainment and their enjoyment
of it by round after round of ap
plause. Much honor is due the teach
ers and the pupils for such a credit
able entertainment. The proceeds
amounted to $315.85.
The scene was surpassingly beauti
ful with pretty children in gorgeous
and colorful array weaving grace
fully in and out in light, airy dances.
The singing parts were well taken
and the lines were spoken with ease
and anility. Music was furnished
before and after the performance by
the high school orchestra.
This was the second of the com
mencement plavs of the spring", Ihe
North school pupils having given an
entertainment last Friday night. Mr.
Carver announced the high school
fii:ih wWch will be held the latter
part of the month.
The stage was a scene in fairy
land and was abloom with lovely
flowers. The queen's throne was in
the center and around this the
sprites gathered. Happiness reign
ed supreme until:

nnrt first that the missing Flower
Queen is not in their realm. Then
com?:; the North Wind, with Jack
Frost and the Snowflakes to say that
no flower has been seen in the great
white spaces by frozen seas. The
Fast Wind, accompanied by Autumn
Leaves and Indian Fays, have also
sought in vain every stream and in
every woodsy dell. When the West
Wind and the Chrysanthemums ad
mit they cannot find the Flower
Queen, Johnny Jdmp-Up again has
to raise the drooping spirits of the
Flowers.
When all seems hopeless, a
trumpet i heard, and the Boy
Scouts appear, bringing the Flower
Queen whom they have rescued, and
the Weed lving, bound as a prisoner.
The Flower Queen, restored to her
Kingdom, leaves the iate oi
the King of Weeds to her resources,
the Bov Scouts. They decide to send
the Weed King to the Wizard of the
West who will transform him into a
wonderful and useful plant. In
.gratitude for her release and re
turn to her dominions, the Flower
Queen commands the Fairies to
weave a spell of fertile fields and
o-cnerous harvests and bestows this
gift upon the Boy Scouts.

groes were burned to death at the
same stake here at 5 o'clock this
morning by a mob of 500 men fol
lowing their implication in the as
sualt and murder of a 17-year-old
girl, whose mutilated body was found
Thursday night.
Snap Curry, the first negro burned,
was taken from the custody of Free
stone officers early last night as he
was being conveyed from Worthem
to . some point west. It is alleged
that he confessed that he had as
saulted and murdered the girl and
that, in his confession be implicated
two other negroes, J. II. Barney and
Mooe Jones.
All three negroes were rushed to
Kirwin, the home of the dead girl,
and an iron stake driven into the
ground in the heart of a small square
of the town. Oil was poured on the
heap and the flames rose to a height
of 25 feet. The pile was still burn
ing this morning.
Third degree methods were applied
to Barney and Jones, but they stead
fastly maintained their mmccn.ee.
After the third negro had been.
burned to death all three bodies were
piled together and a mass of oil
poured over them. This was ignited
and the flames leaped upward.
