Friday evening, June 19, 'OS, marked the fifteenth annual commencement of Dakota coun ty 's proudest boast, St. Cather ine's Academy. A large gath ering of patrons and admiring friends witnessed the delightful panorama of juvenile loveliness which annually more than pleas es a large and appreciative au dience. lhe order ot program was much the same as former years, the students all gowned in pure white, marching in perfect har tnony with the entrance march which was skillfully executed by the Misses Mary Buckley and Mary McGonigal. When the stage was filled to overflow ing with fair young girls, rang ing from the six-year-old minim to the single, sweet girl gradu ate ot US, the audience was treated to a beautiful vocal sc lection entitled, "Silver Moon.' As the girls left the stage, the class colors, pale green and white, were disclosed, forming a most artistic background, while the motto: "We have reached the bay ; the ocean lies beyond," was easily deciphered against it. "An Indignation Meeting," the next number, Was presented by the minims and in true ju venile style greatly pleased the auditors. A reading entitled "ine juggler ot louraine,' was remarkably well rendered by Miss Cecilia Flaharty. A dia logue, "The Twentieth Century Juveniles, involved much child ish wisdom mixed .with baby wit, and was cleverly enacted by the little intermediate girls The next number, a farce en titled " Poison, ' was most pleas mg and laughable. The role o invalid was taken exceptionally well by Miss Delia Timlin, that of nurse was so well filled by Miss Mabel Riley that the audi ence was convulsed simply by a glance at her, while Misses Mary vomns ana jieien leiier, as conspiring diplomats, would put many a politician to shame. A pantomime, "Doctor Bills,' pantomimed by three tiny girls xvose anu niicen nartnett and Mildred Ryan, and explained in a singing voice by little Mary Sheahan so pleased the audience that an encore was requested, but owing to the length of the program it had to be dispensed with. Lord Tennyson's much read poem, "The Princess," was next presented in dramatized form by the junior girls. The synop sis of the play was read by Miss Charlotte Harty in a clear, audible voice. The leading role of Princess was taken by Miss Gertrude Hall and the equally arduous and corresponding role of Prince was filled by Miss Helen Sullivan, whose elocution and delivery ' were excellent. The dramatic personae was made up of the following: King Gama Ioretta Cahill Florian Minnie Kceffe Cyril.. Mary Ryan Ipse. . .' Mary Ileeney Lady Psyche . .Margaret Ashford Lady Blanche .... Mabel McGec Melissa Mary Waters Violet Mary Buckley A number of girls represent ing the pupils of Ladies Blanche and Psyche made up the per sonnel. The play is a heavy, elabor ate piece of acting and was ex celently rendered by these am ateur thespians. The costumes were appropriate and most gor geous. The play was inter ' , spersed by two musical numljicrs which greatly charmed the au dience, a vocal solo, "Oh, Dry Those Tears," by Miss Mary Buckley, and a brijliant "Valse Caprice" by Miss Cecilia Fla harty. Then came the Valedictory, ably given by the sole member of the graduating class of '08, Miss Margaret Lucille Quinn. It was a sad, sweet finale to a most harmonic whole and was eagerly listened to. Miss Quinn touchingly referred to Alma Mater, the good Sisters whose untiring efforts have brought our beloved academy to the eminence which it today enjoys, and to the dear school mates and happy school days left be hind forever. The Very Rev. P. F. McCarthy presented Miss Quinn with her diploma, gold medal and uni versity credit card, and in a few well chosen remarks brought the program to an appropriate close. Miss Quinn enjoys the dis tinction of being the first grad uate of St. Catherine's under the new normal law. During the past year the work of the school has been thoroughly looked into by the State In- spectector and upon his approv al State Supt. J. L. McBricn has raised its standard to that of a normal training school. Under this new ruling a gradu ate of the academy requires no further normal training, and is ready at once for a position, and more than that she is the proud possessor, at the same time, ot a first grade certificate, which under the old course, required tne applicant to tcacli six months before the granting of a first grade certificate. That the people of Jackson are justly proud of this praise worthy institution in our little town, goes without saying. That the grand and heroic work it has accomplished in the past may be duplicated in the future is a sincere wish that must find an echo in hundreds of grateful hearts. m I Items of Interest from our Exchanges , Silver Greok items in Potion Lender Mrs Barney Peroon returned a week ago irom uomer, where sue had been visiting relatives.

Do you know that the well inform ed, far-seeing, conservative land buyer is now investing his money in the Texas Panhandle, and he does it be cause he knows that land there will positively double and likely tribble before two years hence. Ourcompany owns every acre of land they offer for sale, they buy iu large tracts at whole sale prices thus the low prices and easy terms at which we sell. The Findlay ranch, the tract we are now selling is iu Deaf Smith county and oonlaiuB over 100,000 acres of nice, smooth, feltile land. It abutts right up to the new C R & P Ry, now in operation, reasonably close to the main hue of the banta Fe and with two new rail load 8 to be built through this tract of laud, work on one is already in progress and two 'new towns located in the Findlay rinch. The following taken from the Pauhandla Progress has this to say of these new railroad projects; just as we go to press we are in receipt of a letter from the secretary of the Hereford Commercial Club in which it is stated that the city has raised the $00,000 required of it by the promoters of the Colorado & Gulf 'dilroad, and that work is to begin im mediately upon that line from Here ford north. . ibis road is of great importance to the whole Panhandle country, and parti'H'larlyo to Deaf Mmith county. "Coiitinuniug, Mr Elloit writes- The Club has under headway another road from Tucumcari, N M, through Deaf Smith and other counties to the Orient railway in Knox countv The sum ot $200,000 has already been offered for this line. Hereford will put up $00,000 or $70,000 if the con fit ruction begins here and goes west to iuoumcari. The road as outlined would touch Kelso and go directly through the fiudlay ranch. At this writing the road seems to be emong the probabilities of the near future." Panhaudlo , Progress May 1, 1908.
