A Word From Antioch, Sept. 9, 1920

Just a word from Antioch: We are having a fine time around old Antioch; the farmers are jubilant over their fine cotton and corn, which are very good, but when they hear of the great slump in the price of cotton they are a little blue. The most beautiful flowers have their thorns. The new dormitory on the school grounds will be complted soon, so school will start on time. But what I started to write about is our singing class. We have 50 or 60 pupils; our teacher is Prof. A.D. Currie of Laurinburg, and he knowns what he is talking about. The book we use is Progress in Song. Wish you could hear them sing "My Far Away Home" and "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Our school will close Sept. 15th. We will have a concert thaqt night. A play entitled "The Beautiful City" will be given, and after the play Prof. C.D. Franks will address the school and the audience, so we ask you and your readers to come.
