OF typhoid fever for some time and is still
in precsrious condition.
Mrs. Gormley can boast Of the finest
garden in town. She IL now eating Irish
potatoes and peas grown by her this season
that lays over any Of our male gardeners

He has some 200 hills and they have be
gun to run We shall call on the Judge
about the fret Of August.
It b and J. r. Carson are opening
several salts wells on their lands and o.
they are not in the ring they think they
have struck small fortune, as salts are
curren, here at so cents per pound.
Jim Dillon IL all smiles since he
hesrd that the bill making Crab Orchard
looal option town did not pass and a
change is also psrceptible in several other
visaEes that could mention, bat space
forbids.
"A. NJ Hiatt sold to Swiss settler a
young horse foe 500. Hunly Singleton
cold to another a plug work horse for $50
they were both by Hats Joe Slonsr, y
which accounts for the very liberal prices
paid for them. Armp is now very sorry
he parted with "Joe" A. our new neighbors
are partial to his stock, but he was bound
to have some Lightning rods. Joe is gone
but Armp has the lightning rods.
Corn is generally backward in thi.
section, but Hunly Singleton has 20 acres
that is 40 exception. II was a piece OF
bluegrass sod that had not been in cultivA.
ton Tor IS years, il il now knee high and
not hill missing II it isA good season
!, ia estimated by good judges to make &c
bblS., to the acre. II no wonder We are
having 40 many new settlers when our landr
will make suchresults Meadows are gen.
orally looking very fine, but some are com
plsining Of a good deal OF cheat.
We had the pleasure OF attending the
closing exercises Of our high school Tues.
day night and were highly entertained.
The large hall at the CJll,ge WAS filed
with the patrons and friends Of the school
The programme was long one and the
clock in the tower struck IL before It wss
finished, but no one seemed 10 tire. Prof
Rice, the principal, and Mise Lille Lyter,
his accomplished assistant, should indeed
feel proud Of their lahore. They certainly
have the thanks and good wishes Of the
President and trustees and / am confident,
Of each snd every patron. Space forbids
the mention that each and every pupil 40
Justly merits. / did not get in in time to
hear the SAluiStory by Miss Lula Stuart,
but it was spoken Of by those present a. q
tine production. "One Hundred Years
From Now" defamation by Henry Pet.
tus is deserving Of mention. "The Three
Little Mushroom" by three very little
girls, Misses Steger, Sigler and Howard,
Was cute and showed training "The
Msneyless Man" by Jop:h Rice was finely
delivered AMI the reply by Miss Maggie
Buchanan was equally good. Brock Of
Ages" song aud defamation by Miss
Mamie Kennedy was good and elected
considerable applause. Fandango" was
we'll performed by Misses Singleton and
Robin and MessrS. Ward, Henry Pettus.
Lee Steinhiles and Will White. A song
by Misses Katie Jsmes, Lear Steger,
Minnie Myers and Eva Buchanan was we'll
received. A defamation, people Will
Talk" was we'll delivered by Mics Ida
Pettus. Vacation Fun" was we'll per.
formed by all, but Kate James deserves
special mention. "Ridng in the Cars
was we'll reciIel by Mss Belle Sigler, and
the answer was well delivered by Will
White. The Gamblers Wife" was re.
cited in concert by some young ladies and
was very nicely done. Guilty or Not
Guilty" was recited by Miss Eva Buchsn-
an and elected much applause. The cal.
esthenics, participated in by all the young
lady pupils, was the finest performance Of
the kind | ever Witnessed, and the drill by
the young ladies, each carrying a broom,
was perfect, Index Of Light" recited by
Robt. Davis, brought down the house, and
the puns he got OIL on several Of the audi.
ence were splendid and the one on Pete
Chandler was dead'ner; ask Pete what it
was. The Naledictory, by Miss Maggie
Buchanan, was highly complimented and
deserved the applause it ELECTED. There
are others that deserve special mention,
but have already drawn out my letter
too long and hope they will excuse me,
When David Ted was governor Of Obi
a Columbus dentist once came to him and
slid "Governor Tod, why do you not
spell your name with two DE-? l spell my
name that way, and | find on examination
of genealogical records that the most em.
inent members OF the Tod family spelled
their names Todd" "Well, you zee,
said the governor very gravely, "the AL

and I believe can get along with one d
