The Busy Bee Literary Society gave u
public entertainment on last Friday even.
ing 10 n crowded house. The peffor.
nance was a surprise 10 many, from the
fact that all the members oil the society
are so young, that Il was not expected
that they would be able TO do so well In
their frat effort. But the general verdict,
IA far a. I have heard IL expressed, Ia that
il was aboutas good performance as has
been given in the school hall for some
time.
Tha performances consisted OF dialo-
CUES, speeches and tableaux all OF which
were rendered in q manner that shows
good native talent in the performers,
which by proper practice and cultivation,
will make No performers Of some OF the
members. One Of the best, and most en-
ioyable features Of the evenings enter
tafnment was the sweet music discoursed
BY the Bryson String Band OF this place
assisted by McConkey on the Cornet, and
Miss Mamie Warden on the organ.
Every thing passed of pleasantly except
that Q few gentlemen "a forgot for the
time being what good behavior Is and
made more noise than the occasion de-
manded. !.
THE lecture Of Prof. McBeth, announced
for Saturday night at the Presbyterian
Church, did not come of from the fact
that the audience was wanting. There Is
no use In any lecturer trying to get a 30
cent audience in Moundsyille. Hall dol.
lars arc too scarce just now TO indulge in
such luxuries.
Our Circuit Court closed on Saturday
but to-day our County Court begins, to
end when, who a tell? But while so
much Is said againstthe County Court in
general, We suppose that our County
Court will compare favorably with any
one In the State. Our Judge Is 4 man Of
large experience and although not q law.
yer by profession, be Ia practically a bet
ter one than some who are practicing law.
He has the good Of the people at heart,
hurries up business and as he quantity
expressed It, "guesses" as near right as he
knows how every time. His assistants
are men Of good sense, and take 1t in gen.
eral, il there Ia such n thing as q good
County Court, Marshall county has IT,
Hon. W. D. Moore, Of Pittsburgh, was
In town a good part Of last week attend.
ing to the argument for anew trial in the
CockAyne will case. Mr.. Moore is much
taken with our beautiful valley and says
he thinks II Ia one Of the finest places be
ever saw. Whether 4 good large fee re-
ceived by him for bis labor while here
had anything to do in forming the opin-
ion l know not, but would suppose that
It did not detract anything from It.
The Sheriff and his deputies report
thatiti is almost an impossibility to collect
money, times are 80 stringent in all parts
Of the county. What We want Is money,
more money; and II those shining silver
dollars that were TO be the salvation OF
the country In such q short time, do not
soon come rolling this way we will almost
lose our faith In the Silver Bill being 4
panacea for all the financial ills We are
heir to. We need Just about one wagon
load IN Mouudsville to keep thingsliyely.
But though the times Z 10 hard our
business men seem to be doing Just about
n much business or more than they they
were doing . year ago.
Bat for fear Of making my jottings
take the form Of an extended treatise, l
stop TO resume again at leisure. X,
