State Superintendent J. L. Bond
to deliver the address to the
graduates. Both men accepted
the invitation. The baccalaur
eate sermon will be preached in

at which time all patrons and
friends of the school are respect
fully requested to attend. The
address to the graduates will be

Mr. Bond has written the prin
cipal of your school that he will
arrive at Jelks on the fast train
Friday afternoon. Being at the
head of one of our most import
ant state departments, Mr. Bond
is a great man and our town will
be honored by his presence. It
becomes our duty to extend to
him every courtesy at our com
mand. All who have automo
biles are urged to meet the train
at Jelks, take Mr. Bond for a
spin thru our farms, then back
thru progressive McCrory, and
on to his place of entertainment.
