On Wednesday andFriday nights
of last week musical and dramatic
concerts were given at Ripley for
the benefit OF the "Riplev Free
Male Institute" This is a high
school for boys and young men,
Tuition absolutely free to all. They
have secured the services Of first
class teachers, and will open the
LIST Of September. The coed citi-
zens Of Ripley and vicinity have al
ready subscribed a sufficient sum to
defray the expenses Of teachers,
and these concerts were merely to
raise funds fol procuring necessary
fixtures, such as wall maps, charts,
globes, &C., &c. The concert of
Wednesday night was the best we
ever saw in a town the size of Rip
ley, and as good as we ever saw
any where, and we are confident,
judging from the programme, that
the one on Friday night was equally
as good. Two t~arces, "a Kiss in
the Dark" and >'Ihe Little Rebel
were played on Wednesday night,
and another farce, "Cool as a Gu
on Friday night. The ac-
tresses were Misses Sue Rogan, Ell
fe Falkner, Martha Moore, Etter
hurry, Mollie Harris, Etter Miller,
and Mrs. N. e. Garter. The actors
we're Messrs. r. o. Prewitt, NJ. II.
Armor, D. Fl. Rogan, and N. l.. Mar
mon. The talent exhibited by the
conception and representation Of
the various characters was the rar-
est type. The music was conduct.
ed by Miss Venie Fields of Stone
wall College, who not only showed
her own superior powers in vocal
and instrumental! music, and won.
derful ability to prepare young la
dies, but also good taste in selec.
tons. We heartily congratulate
Ripley on her fine Female School
and the ~ti'ttering prospects for the
"Free Male Institute" and aIso for
possessing those talented young
people who are putting forth such
noqle efforts in the cause of educa-
tion.- Benton County Argus, oath.

We made a short visit to Ripley

the commencement exercises Of

exercises took place at the Pres.
Church, It being Of greater capacity
than the College hall. The Church
had been previously decorated in a
manner which displayed great taste
and skill on the part of the fair
damssls Of Ripley, Of whom she
can boast Of many. BY ten o'clock
il was completely filed. The grad

Martha Moore and MOliio Harris Of

Respectfully Dedicated Wb-the Bald
Headed of Both Sex0o,

my worthy friend and neighbor,
Whence comes that smile serene2"
20, ] I'm now thrice happy
I've found it-CARBoLINE.
ITS just what I've been looking for,
Since I've been seventeen
And getting balder every day
Till got C~ARBoLINR.
Its growing in right rapidly,
My head can now be seer
Like other heads, in silken locks,
Thanks to my CARBoLINE.
II know a pretty, black-eyed maid,
A royal little queen,
Who'll be as much rejoiced as
To see this CARB0LINg.
Shell throw away her switches,
False curls, and borrowed sheen,
And shake upon her shoulders plump,
The wealth of CARBOLINR.
And when our heads are covered Ger,
AS nee they were, ] ween,
Well noise abroad the praisea
OF wondrous C~ARBoLINE.
While kneeling at the altar,
With Father Good between,
We'll call the world to witness
A match from CARBoLINH.
And in the happy aftertime,
When comes q change of scene,
With a little dear II hearts to cheer,
Well call it CARBoLNE."

New Jersey is becoming famous for
her Cabinet organs and Piancfoltes.-
Within her borders upon the railroads
leading to the West and Northwest lies
Washington, thriving young city
whose rise in the enormous mandatory
which stands IN full view Of all trains
passing that place. This man is the
Hon. Daniel f. Beatty, Mayor of Wash
ingtOn, well known to our readers from
his frequent advertisements. His facto-
ry is a mammoth affair having space
of three acres within its walls and using
an adjoining space of eleven acres for
the storage of lumber, etc. The Mayor
has won his way to the front rank by
stalwart merit, in every detail Of manu-
facture, keeping steadily In view the
fact that people cannot afford to pay eX-
orbitant middemen's profits on Pianos
and Organs.
He is one Of the most responsible men
in the State and all who deal with him
can depend upon obtaining not only SUI
perior Instruments, but those lowest In
price as they are made by the most eco-
nomica system and by the most improv-
ad machinery. Ten years ago Mr. BE
atty was poor obscure and plowing bare
foot upon the hillside Of Hunterton Co.,
New Jersey; to-day he stands a brilliant
example Of what honesty, industry and
thrift will do. Who would not encOur-
age such a man9 Read his great offer in
