crowd himself into if an opportunity is pre-

considerable credit. In fact he holds all
the small Offices around here, and has now
commenced taking Camden, and when he
gets through with that place will begin on
Moline, and then take in Davenport. That

How LoNG.-A gentleman said to day in
our hearing that Rock Island was bound to
lead this city in twenty-five years, if we did
not to manufacture as soon as
possible. There is somewhat of truth In
that remark, surely, and it's nearly time for
our capitalists to think of the matter serious
ly. That little village over the river is
looming up ominously, and the sound OF
is coming across the water at a
lively rate. Let us be up and doing
Davenport Democrat.
Very true, as far as our city leading yours
is concerned; but the idea of it taking %
years to do so is, absurd. We shall accomp
lish the task in one tenth that time, if the
rate at which this city has progressed since
January last is any indication of the
future.

HIGH ScHooL FEsTIyAL.-True merit has
iss own -eward, and SO had the boys and
,;-s OF the High School at their festival at
Darts Hall last evening. They worked
faithfully and had many useful and orna.
mental articles on exhibition. The people
knew this, and turned out in good numbers
to show them that their endeavors were
appreciated. Neither we're they disappointed
when they arrived at the Hall. The numer
Gus departments we're neatly and tsstefully
arranged, aud what is more, were conducted
handsomely and as we heard DR.. RheA say,
.'like old folks" for there was no gsmb-
ling, no boring people to take chances, but
ali were allowed to enjoy themselves and
purchase whatever they wanted. The re.
sui, was as might have been expected, all
spent their money freely and
generously, getting value received, every
time. The Young gentlemen and young
Misses of the High School are deserving OF
the highest commentator for the exam
pie they have set for the old folks and for
church societies contemplating such enter
tainments. Among,hthe things worthy OF
special mention we may say that the young
Misses dished up full dishes of the highes,
priced oysters the market afforded, and in
the ice cream departments there was always
full dishes, no stinting to save q penny and
lose 9 pound. At eleven o'clock everything
was sold, all had q good time and went
home satisfied. sLittle Willie Aiken, secured
an elegant scarf BY the votes of his compan.
ions, for being the best behaved boy
in the school, while little 8 year old
May Garter received an elegant $l2 doll
for being the best girl, Little Lens Spencer
came SO near having as many votes as did
Miss May, that her companions voted her
that handsome Rustic Cottage aud doll, q
very nice present indeed. On the whole il
was the pleassntest festival ever given in
the city, and when the High School again
appears before the public in this capacity,
they have the best assurances Of a very
liberal patronage. This they had lastnight
as we learn that they will net three hundred
dollars after all expenses are paid. Vel
