The schools of this city began last
Monday morning. A visit to the pub
lie, private and parochial schools re-
veals the fact mot an unusual one
at the beginning of a term,) that
the number of students in atten-
dance is small. Additional ones how
eter are continually coming in, and in
a short time the schools will again be
filled.
The Peerless Dramatic company
will be in Phoenix Hall tomorrow
evening. They visited Morris not long
ago but it was an unfortunate time and
then audiences were small. Their en-
tertainments however gave universal
satisfaction, and upon this visit they
will doubtless be greeted by full
house.
The annual school meeting for this
school district was held at the school

Wheaton was elected clerk to succeed
III. Hutchins whose term of Office ex-
pired.
Many resident in town shows by
the hay seed in his hat, that he is q
farmer. 1t has at last become quite
fashionable for our town folks to own
and run farm. For a long time.
most of the farms ran their owners,
but strict business management has
reversed this order of things, until
the former comes out at the end of
each year, something ahead of his ex.
penditures.
The Peerless Dramatic Company
have excellent scenery, an excellent
orchestra, excellent actors for the
principal parts who are supported by
excellent actors and always give an
excellent entertainment. If you en-.
ioy excellent acting don't fail to hear
this excellent troup in Good & Bris-
bine's excellent hall tomorrow even
ms. Excellent reserved seats may be
bought at Good & Brisbine's excellent
store.
