Gated in our town about eleven years,
and in that time, no difficulty Of any
consequence has occurred. A disturb
ance was recently attempted, but the
guilt of one party was SO clearly proven
that the question of "who slit his ears
was quickly decided. The gentlcmanIy
department of the cadets in our churches
and on our streets has been subject OF
remark, and tic President Of this insti-
tuition has not only devoted himself to
to their interests, but, at one time,
opened night school Mt his own ex-
pensc for the boys of the town whose
business prevented their attendance at
day school. We hope to see them all
back in October, and their number moro
than doubled.

James T. Harris, late banker at Geor.

Special Agent Smith, of the Postofice
Department, and lodged in the Dallas
Jail. Harris is charged with using the
United States mails for acquiring mon.
ey under false pretenses. The manner
of working his game was in distribut-
ing, through the Northern States, Cir
culars representing that the people of
Wilmington county were in distress,
owing to the total failure Of the crops,

These circulars closed by stating that
all remittances should be addressed to
