Miss Ira and Master Knox Fierce,

Class Prophecy. Graduating Essay Read by Miss Prichard Alford, at

the Close of the Brandon Graded School.

’Tis a mighty journey which the human imagination takes when it is transported from the present, through the dimly-lighted future. But as; our imagining faculty has been called upon to perform this duty, we send it forth, though frail and ill-equipped, on Its mission.

With feelings of mingled awe and pleasure, we draw aside the impenetrable curtain that has been adjusted by the hand of a wise creator to hide from view the events of coming years. And lo! we behold a mysterious land called futurity. We put on the x-ray glasses of the gypsy, and gaze eagerly before us, till the object of our search has been accomplished, and the life, pursuits, and hap- penings of each member of our class determined.

In this curious, uncertain land, we find the mile posts of time still planted along the way, and now, me thinks, while looking far into the interior, we behold the one marked 1927—twenty years hence, and truly many decided changes have t^ken place.

There is a peculiar something common to nature that causes all things just ahead of us to appear to a far greater advantage than those around us. Campbell expresses it beautifully when he says:

“At summer’s eve

When heaven’s aerial bow, Spans with bright arch the glittering hills below, Why to you mountains turns the missing eye, Whose sunlight, summit mingles with the sky, Why do those cliffs of shadowy tint appear More sweet than all the landscape smiling near?

’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountains in its azure hue. Thus, with delight we linger to survey the promised

joys of life’s unmeasured way, Thus from afar, each dim discovered scene More pleasing seems than all the past hath been. And every form that fancy can repair, From dark oblivion glows divinely there.”

We look again and looking, find this truth affirmed, for we see

only beauty and pleasure, and our class-mates here—though happy now—seem happier then. Of course a few shadows have been cast along their way, but they’ve only served to soften and to sweeten their natures. And now, at this date, 1927, we see them securely resting on the sunny side of life.

You will be pleased to hear, that of the eight girls in our class, not one appears a cross, disconsolate, old maid.

First, we see Graham Burney, with her bright face, and save

for the silver threads that shine in her wavy locks, and the digni- fied position she holds as queen of her lordly palace and its master, we find in her the same sweet Graham of 1907.

And now a lovely home surrounded by a landscape as beautiful as ever human eye beheld, comes floating out before us. ’Tis far away from the rush of the noisy city—far out amidst the cool and silence of the wood, where the hand of God hath reared the venerable columns, and woven the verdant roof—where no traces of man’s pomp or pride exist. In this home, basking in the love of an honest, happy farmer, we see our friend, Emma Buchanan.

Where is fun-loving Ruby Enochs? Why, there she goes, first in one direction, and then in another. It takes a quick eye to catch a glimpse of her as she flits from place to place, seeking and finding only the sweets of life. She, too, Is on the shady side of life. But cheerfulness has kept her heart young, and she is now a much admired tourist

Lookl Can’t you see that throng of people gathering into the first church of one of our southern cities, to hear one of the most noted missionary lecturers of the age? She is right from the field of action, and as she gracefully moves before her anxious audience, we recognize in her our stately, dignified Mary Berry.

But look again! there is another scene brought so perceptibly before the eye till, it seems to me, that the strains of music from the touch of some classic performers and even the voices of the merry crowd, quite audibly reach our ear. This scene is a grand stone mansion on an up-to-date avenue of some flourishing city. Is it

Washington? Is it Chicago? No, listen! It is our own Brandon. On the door plate of this mansion in letters of gilt, we find this name:

Judge somebody. Within are all the luxuries of life. There’s a

great banquet being held here to-night, and th ere attired in the loveliest costumes of the day, we see three handsome matrons re-

ceiving the happy guests. ‘Tis Mrs. Judge Somebody, assisted by her two most intimate friends. We forget the elegance and gayety of the occasion as we watch their faces. Surely we have seen these faces before. Well, I guess we have for the mistress of this lovely home is none other than Att- wood Thornton, and the fair ladies beside her are Marie Dick- son and Merle Gayden.

But why all this merry making? In honor of whom is this great fete? Why, ’tis Harris Collier! The ope boy who was brave enough to graduate with eight girls. We pictured for him great things in life, and we are gratified to see our anticipations realized. As we

see him there tall and handsome, recognized by all present as one

of the greatest authors of the age. He no longer composers dog- gerel about the ninth grade girls of Brandon, but startles the whole world with his gifted pen and wins laurel after laurel in the field of literature.

Now there’s one other to find. So we look once again and see

our own face mirrowed there—we too receiving our part of the joys of life. But fearing to reveal our own future, lest you suspect the secret longings of our present, we leave this part untold, and gaze on through the mists of years, till we see another curtain even

heavier and closer drawn than the first. This lies between the land just described and the Great Beyond. With fear and trem-

bling we draw it aside gently. Our imagination falters and dares not attempt to draw this picture—as it has the rest—for this is Heaven. The lenses in our glasses are changed. We no longer see

with the x-ray eye of the gypsy, but with the eye of faith. We behold our class again united, and there where hope is lost in fruition. May this last prophecy become a happy realization!

torney. All beat 5 is expeoted to participate in the pionio.

New Prospect- Health of this community is good.

Judging from the straw ballots some of the candidates are down but remember the heavier grain is always the first to be blown down, but being richer and more vigorous is the first to regain its position which it holds until the harvest.

The farmers in some parts of the

county seem to be wearing long faces over so much wet weather. But why should we wear long faces when we

have already harvested a large crop of oats, and have good prospects fox

making a fine potato and oane crop; plenty of time within which to make a oorn orop, and the expectation ol

getting fifteen cents for the little cot- ton we make* Better smile and put forth that wasted energy toward bet- tering the crops, then when the gold en harvest time appears we will not

only reap a muoh larger yield, but b< in better health to enjoy it.
