Monday, January 31st. On Wednesday,,

statements taken came to me and pro-

public. Then wrote the first note and
told them if allsofl them would sign it 1

for Monday. They then signed It, and
as it contained what l expected to OBJ

meeting. They agreed for it to be pub

one. l merely make these statements to

all his teaching there has never been a

say positively that he had the respect of
every pupil in his school. All who Wis

his teaching, and almost the entire Dis

The concert for the benefit of the
Central Methodist church takes place
tonight at Hollenberg's music hall,
23l Main street. The best amateur
talent in the city is engaged for the
occasion. Tickets only fifty cents.
Now that the awnings are nearly all
down, and, as a consequence, the side
walks must be more crowded than ever
during Mardi Gras, those desiring a
good view of the king and his court,
should secure seats on the Court
Square stands.
The ticket sharks at Nashville
caught it heavy when Sarah Bern
hardt performed there. A few did
the same here, but others came out
even, and one or two slightly ahead.
The latter class, however, are as dumb

The great Bernhardt acted "Frou-

morrow, performs at Columbus, Ohio,

the latter point $1,000 was taken on
the first day of the sale for seats. AT
Louisville spectators were selling
seats fifty cents above regular rates,
but they could be had just as nice at a
lower price from The management.
A lady writes: 81 I'm head over
heels in love with the doctrine Of
woman S rights which looks to letting
women have an equal chance with the
men to earn money to make a living
for themselves" Very few men will
offer objection to letting them try that
sort of thingju just as much as they like.
There are a few who manage to make
splendid livings for themselves and
their husbands, and have a good sur
plus beside, but they are like hens
teeth, few and far between.
When 1t comes to the carnival sea-
son our people do not lack in patriot
ism, or a disposition to do their duty
in the revelry. It will be a grand hol-
idaysfor everybody, a day of feasting,
entertaining and good cheer, when
every body will be apt to keep open
house to welcome all visitors, masked
or otherwise. This being the feeling,
all in and about our establishment are
to have rest from labor SO they may
enjoy themselves to the iull. There
will be no paper issued on Mardi Gras.

Mnrifed Testimonial.

AA9A ANlN
It has been suggested through the
Appeal, and talked of in musical and
society circles that it would be an ap
propriate thing to tender a benefit to
Miss Jennie Jones, to be given imme-
diately after Lent. We have had
Emma Abbott, Mile. Bernhardt and
other celebrities from the outside
world and paid high tribute to their
merits and genius. Would it not be
in order to give a testimonial of re-
spect and admiration to such a worthy
and talented young lady as Miss Jen-
ME Jones? Her ability is unques-
toned, and her reputation as a vocal.
ist extends far beyond the limits Of
Memphis. She is not only this, but
she is as kind hearted and generous as
she is gifted and cultured. She has
sung for every public or charitable
cause which called for her services,
and has aided, perhaps, every musical
society or undertaking in the city. A
number Of our leading musical people
we understand, are ready to unite in
rendering her a splendid benefit. anC
the time suggested is at or just after
the end Of Lent. This would be q
well deserved tribute to an cxcellen.
young lady, and we hope to see tb,
idea carried out. 1t would be credit
able alike to the participants and t,
the fair beneficiary.
