FRENCH LEAVE A negro
known as Frenchy was a few
days ago arrested and fined for
violation of some city ordi-
nance, not having the means of
paying his fine he was the other
day furnished with a shovel
and put to work on the street.
He worked an hour or so and
fearing the sun would injure
the temper of the shovel he hid
it under a house and took a
walk out into the country. He
sent word to the marshal from
Gay Hill that he was working
to make money to..pay his, fine.
Frenchy is an ex-convict and
a very triflling negro at best.
A ball and chain attached to
such cases as Frenchy would
probably keep him and his
shovel together.

Prettv Youn u

In every feature but the hair, which had
grown white from fever. This lady at IS
writes us: 81 have used Parkers Hair
Balsam six months and am more than
pleased with it. 1t has restored the natu-
raj brown color to my hair and given it a
silky softness, nicer than ever before.
There is no dandrua, no falling hair, and
it leaves the scalp so clean and nice and cool
that am ever SO much pleased, and l

fectant properties that enter chemically into
this preparation render it healing, cleansing

vigorous hair it produces, together with its
property of restoring the hair to its natural
youthful color, leaving the head entirely
freed from dandrulf, clean and healthy,
surprises no less than it pleases. Buy a

THOUSANDS Of bushels of sur

be bought here at 80 to IS
cents bushel and is quoted in
Galveston as in demand at 50
to 81 cents. Galveston is dis
tant only III miles, yet it can
not be shipped because the
railroad freight tariff is too high.

The ball at Pesche's hall,
Berlir, on Monday evening last
was, if possible, more pleasant
and enjoyable than eitherof its
predecessors. There was d. fine
crowd in attendance, and as the
atmosphere was cooled by the
morning rain, dancing was in
dulged in quite. freely, laughter
and merriment, pleasure and
Enjoyment ruled supreme. The
music was furnished by Prof.
Korf's splendid string band,
which added greatly to the,even-
ings entertainment. The fire
works was somewhat of a nov
city upon this occasion, being
the hrst time they were ever in
troduced at Berlin.
Among the fifty young ladies
present, quite a number were
attired in elegant and costly
ball costumes ofthe latest fash
ion, rejecting credit upon the
skill and taste Of the queenly
wearers, who were the perfect
embodiments of grace and beau
ty.
To the young men of the
neighborhood much credit is
due for their manly department
and the hospitable manner in
which they entertained their
guests from other neighbor-
hoods, rendering the whole af-
fair at once pleasant and enjoy
able.

if he had been before the Board. He re-
piled that he had and that he had received
an>appointment TO organize schools all over

roosters have twenty hens each, and each
hen has twenty chickens, how many chick
