MARLIN
Marlin.--Sunday was another high day at the Marlin Baptist Church from the
Sunday school throughout the day; every phase was largely attended; the Eastern
circle conducted a St. Patrick program which, as a novelty, was enjoyed by a
large attendance. Thursday and Friday the church entertained the Falls
County Interscholastic League in its annual session, under the leadership of C.
A. Wyman and his able assistant; this session was easily pronounced the
greatest in the history. The famous pageant, "Heaven Bound,"
was repeated Thursday night to an overwhelming crowd; this play drawn comment
from many people. The Y. W. A. plans an Easter program 4 a.m., Sunday;
come out and enjoy the cantata. Services were well attended all day at
St. Paul A. M. E. Church; Rev. Coffee preached two able sermons. At 3 the
Masons and Heorines sermon was preached. The Booker T. Washington High
School was victorius during the Interscholastic League--Brenham Graves won in
high jumping, poll volting, broad jumping and in 50-yard dash; William Johnson
won in shot putting; Willie McGruder won in 440; Tinola Robinson won in junior
declaming; Robert Hobs won in senior declaiming; Austin Kitcher won first prize
