Editor, IntcllIEeneer:
The Centennial Jubilee Singers were in
town last week, and gave three entertain
ments to crowded houses. After singing
four nights in Grafton they returned to
this place, and last night sang at the
Opera House for the benefit Of the Read
ing Room. This afternoon they gave a
matinee for the pupils Of the public
schools, who were greatly delighted with
the singers. Tonight they sing in Pala.
tine, then they go to Clarksburg.
Our people have been much pleased
with the singing, the quiet demeanor, aud
the gentlemanly and lady.like bearing Of
this company, and have given them good
audiences. As financial result they
leave over Sl00 to the various objects in
behalf OF which they gave entertainments.
They deserve success, and will doubtless
be literally patronized wherever they go.
We understand there is considerable Ill
feeling in town growing out Of the result
OF last Saturdays election. Our citizens
should remember that they have a COM
mon interest, and should not become alien
ated on account OF these differences Of
opinion. The license ticket was elected
by about thirty.two majority. The tenn
perance people have not given up. the
struggle, however, but are preparing for a
further contest. Col. A. j. Bowen, OF CO.
lumbus, Ohio, has been here lecturing all
week TO large audiences. He is q forcible
speaker.
We are glad to report that there have
been more than twenty new students en-
rolled at the Normal School this week.
The attendance this year will be quite
large, notwithstanding the lack OF an ap-
preparation by the Legislature. Miss
Dickey and her assistants have labored
faithfully, and are meeting with deserved
Ress. @. B. sipe and Geo. NJ. Fleming
were in town this week in attendance
upon the funeral services OF Mrs. ]. o
Watson, who died last Sabbath.
