The committee on finance reported
that they had made an examination of
the treasury, and found that the resources
of the year, including taxes, to be col
lected in June, would be about 5000.
This would leave a deposit of over $2,-
900 at the end of the school year. In
view of this fact it was voted to close
the schools at the end Of the eighth
month. 1t was found that the deposit
was mostly brought over from last year,
when so many rooms had to be rented
and furnished.
Judge Kellogg reported a form of
proposition 10 be submitted at the

to issue $4,000 in bonds to build ''tW o

The great activity displayed by farm

approach of spring with its rush of farm
work. and they are mostly prepared 10

benefit OF the idea that the early bird
catches the worm. A large acreage OF
millet will he put in early to avoid Mr..
Chinchbug, who devours the late plant

expecting to leave our county for Ore
gon and Colorado, where crops never
fail and tornadoes never come. May
their fondest hopes be fully realized,
and prosperity be theirs. A. Shore,
Jasper Head and Merritt Zinn have al.
ready sold their farms, and others will
do likewise. New men will take their
places here. C. ii. Thompson, post
master of Agnes City. has resigned, and
Mr., Mallory has been appointed his sue
cessor. The Office will hereafter be
kept At Mr.. Malory's grocery store. A

seemed in usual health. This morning
she complained of IA feeling of hcaviness
in the region of her heart, but arose and
took breakfast with her family, after
which she lay down on the bed. After
a little while she got up, but feeling
quite unwell, she walked to the bed
again and was In the act of lying down
when she exclaimed, II am going!" and
Immediately expired. The cause. OF
death is supposed to have been heart dis
ease. The deceased was SO years of age
and was the mother of two children. She
was devoted TO her family and was Ia
dy who was very highly esteemed by
all who knew her. Mr.. Carter ha:
resided in EmPoria for many years, and
the heartfelt sympathy of many friends
is extended TO him in his sore bereave

CslsbratIon of L0nRfslIOw's Day.
The rhetorical exercises yesterday
were Of very interesting character as
most of them were upon the life aud
works of Americas greatest poet, Henry
Wadsworth Longiellow. Miss Cora KEEL
ley read an excellent essay upon the
life and influence of this great poet and
scholar; Mr.. F. Smith reviewed in touch
ing language the sad history of Evan
geline, the heroine of the well known
poem, and Miss Lulu Holmes gave in
her usual pleasant style, the Second
Love Experience of Miles Standish."
This essay was not only intensely in
teresting but at times humorous, as
the writer made some center shots at the
orator, who few weeks ago addressed
the school upon the subject of "Bach-
elors" Master Claud COEnstt recited the
psalm of Life'' in q manner which
received the hearty applause of all. The
exercises Of the day were closed by an
grafton upon the Democratic party by
Mr.. w. p. Beaumont. This Grafton,

Il Sunday Blaze.

Sonday forenoon just after the Ee!ls
had rung for morning service, an
alarm of fire was sounded, flames haV-
ing been discovered breaking iorth
through the roof OF the Second Baptist
church on North Commercial street.
The fire originated from defective fiue,
and had gained considerable Roadway
between the roof and ceiling near the
tower, before the hose carts could reach
the place, but they made the landing in
time to arrest the destructive clement
before it had wrought extensive damage.
When the stream began TO play, it was
a caution to see how the shingles flew,
and how quick Jim Halleck, who was
standing on ladder in the vestibule,
was put out' by the men who had hold
of the nozzle.
The house was literally flooded with
water and the damage from this cause
and the fire combined Will be in the
neighbOrhood of 800. The building is
insured and will be repaired forthwith
The value of our water works was again
demonstrated in this case and the great
advantage to the town of our fire de-
partment was fully attested.

The Wilmington Dell Daily Repub.
iican lately contained the following
item of popular interest: DR.. ]. F.
Speck, who is connected with the Viii
mington Every Evening, speaks rather
enthusiastically of st. Jacobs Oil. DR.
Speck states that he uses the oil in his
family as household remedy, sort OF
universal panscea for all aches and pains
and has always found it to act most hap
PLY. His attention was called to it BY
the many testimonials in its favor, and
he one day used it upon himself for sore
throat. Two applications were sufh
cient to effect cure. He also used IL on
his little girl for sore throat with graft
flying success. The same child
had scarlet fever this winter
which left the tendons OF one
leg much contracted. The little
prattler couldn't walk without assist
ance and suffered much Inconvenience
and pain. Several applications of st. ia
cobs Oil restored her limb TO its normal
condition and she has not experienced
any trouble since. DR.. Speck states thai
he also saw the Oil act charmingiy il
toothache. He thinks St Jacobs Oil il
sterling remedy. ana does not hesitatC
TO recommend It for rheumatism, etc.

We very much regret to learn that the
Emporia Rifles are considerably short
on their entertainments of last week.
The play Saturday night was quite mer-
itorious, and we had hoped to sec a full
house hut our expectations were not re.
allied, and the Rifles are left with a
heavy debt on their hands. 1t seems to
us that if the effort was made sufficient
amount of funds could be raised by sub
scription to place the boys on their feet,
and that such a movement would meet
with encouragement.
