Mr.. E. Winsor's bookkeeping class opened
this week with eighteen p~upils-two of
whom are ladies. 1t is a good opportunity
for young men and ladies to learn book
keeping.
There is great complaint about town In re-
gard to the shape the waterworks people have
left the streets. When the gas mains were
put down all the earth was returned to the
trenches. In this case there is q large pile Of
dirt left in most places.
The St. Louis Republican Lexington cor
respondent said to that paper a few days
ago:-"Rev. Hill and Albert Walker, col
ored delegates from this city, expressed their
indignation at not being given a place On the
ticket. They declared that their race made
up the majority of the voters of the repub-
lican party in the county to which they had
always been faithful. and demanded recog-
milton. They were voted down.
Our local contemporary is amusing. 1t
SAYS the man who wrote the letter to the
Post giving the colored voters hail Columbia
is a democrat. Oh yes, of course. so IL the
editor of the Post, we presume. He is sup
posed to be obtuse enough to permit demo-
Gratis disguised as republicans to use his
columns to fire at the poor innocent colored
voter. What q lot of innocents they all are
jumbled up together in a pack. But the COL
ored voter! What will he do? Why he'll
turn the other cheek to be sure. Has he not
been told that it IS for him to vote the re-
publican ticket and be grateful.
The Jennie Volt Comic Opera Company
sang Audran's best opera, ''Olivette," to a
good audience at the opera house on Thurs
day night. Miss Wolff has a strong and Gull
tivated soprano voice, sings with expression
and easily takes ''high G" with power and
brillia ncy. She is also a good actress and
makes a char ming and piquant Olivette. Mr..
Owen, the tenor, Is a young man with q very
pleasant and promising voice and a prepos-
sessing stage appearance. Harry Adams,
the comedian, was "immense" as Coqueticot.
and kept the audience in q fit of laughter all
the time. His local wsgicisms were very
happy. 1.-THE Daughter of the Regiment"
was given last night, bit too late for notice
this week. "Olivette," for u matinee this af-
%ternoon; and ''Pinafore" for tonight will
close the present engagement of the COM
pany.
DR.. Theodore Gosewisch's card as physician
and surgeon will be found elsewhere. The
doctor, as we frequently noticed, made dis
eases of the eye aud ear a specially in the
best schools Of Europe. With the learning
and experience he had there and here he
comes well equipped to The work. The San
Antonio Daily Light of a recent date said:
"Dr. Gosewisch. one of the cleverest ~oculists
that has come to our city. has gone to Missou-
ri, where he intends to locate permanently,
the climate having considerably affected his
health, being the reason of his departure"
And the Daily Express of that place said:
'Dr. c. T.. Gosewisch, the popular young oc-
ulist snd aurist, who made many warm
friends here. has zone back to his former
in Missouri, and his departure is deep
ly regretted by his friends as well as his pa

Of our farmers were busy sowing wheat,
there was not a very large company, but
those present were much interested in what

the success of the democratic cause. We
