Every recitation had "A meaning hymn an
uplifting power and from first to last it proceeded
without break or confusion--a credit to the mind
that planned and directed it, as also to choir and
school. The variety aud beauty of the plants,
flowers and notices that adorned the platform

decorations together with the inspiring services
so helpful alike to the happy and sorrowing-sc

GRoToN.-The final sale of property belonging
to the estate of W. b Barnett took place on Satur-
day of last week, and went off at very low prices.
Nice open buggies sold at about seventy dollars;
one nice covered buggy was struck OIL to Myron
Bailey at ninety dollars, or about half the price
asked; lumber wagons sold at thirty-six dollars;
the carriage shop, which includes blacksmith
shop, playhouse, etc, was decided to Mr.. George
Iewksbury for about fifteen hundred dollars,
which is less than half it cost Mr.. Barnett. With
these low prices the percent. to the creditors
must be small. II it had not been for the life
insurance policy which he left, which was for
the benefit of the widow, for one thousand dol
lars, the family would have been left in very close
circumstances. 900. A. l.. Clark has sold his cottage

work here. Some of the best citizens have joined
and do not forget their obligations, The Juve-
