Mr. F.H. Savage has received a card from his son, Fred,
stating that he has been transferred to the Officers Training School at Camp
Jackson. Fred left Camden in the last quota and his selection to the Officers
Training School is quite a compliment to him. We doubt not but he will make
good in every way.
J.D. Bloch of Mobile was elected supreme representative of
the Knights of Pythias of Alabama for the unexpired term of F.W. Lull of Wetumpka
by the Grand Lodge at the closing session late today. Mr. Bloch will attend the
session of the supreme lodge next year.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES: The commencement exercises of the
Wilcox County High School were opened on Sunday morning when Rev. H.M. Henry of
Oak Hill preached the commencement sermon. Quite a large number of out of town
visitors were present.
On Monday evening, the oratorical contest for the Matthews
Medal was given. Six speakers participated: Robt. Tait, Lynch Alford, Wirt
Moore, Louis Lawler, Henry Hawthorn and Jake Marcus. The medal was awarded to
Lynch Alford in a brief, but effective, presentation by the donor, Mr. B.H.
Matthews. The program was interspersed with music by members of Mrs. Hardy’s
music class and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The closing scene was a
patriotic pageant which was highly enjoyed.

three men who captured Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Her mother was a member of one
of Alabama’s most prominent families. Miss Hill is a niece of Ben H. Hill of
