On last Friday evening an entertain
ment consisting of Madam Jarley's wal

party, was given by the young ladies' Of
the Second Presbyterian Church at Music
Hall. As the audience was served to Ice
cream and cake it would seem that Mar
tina took her tea frozen. A week or so
ago the young ladies wanted us to believe
that she drank only "pink tea" How.
ever, several Of the young ladies and
gentlemen appeared in the costume of q
hundred years ago. R. N. Dosssr took
the part Of Madam farley. He was dress
ed In an old-fashicned silk dress, and
wore an immense bonnet, a Ia coal scut.
tie. Contrary to his usual custom, he
wore bangs. Mrs. farley did very well.
Her local hits, her comments upon fash.
ion and the girl Of the period, and her
description Of the effects of love upon the
different classes composing society, were
the best features of her part of the even
ing's entertainment. The figures ex.
hibited were:

Educational Society Meeting.

Pursuant to adjournment, as reported
in last weeks issue, a public meeting Of
the stockholders Of the Jonesboro Edu.
cational Society was held at the court.
house Monday night. The committee
appointed at the previous meeting report
ed as follows:
To the President, Secretary and stock.
holders Of the Jonesboro Educational
Society.
We, the undersigned, committee, to
whom were referred certain questions re.
lating to the power Of the Taxing District
Of Jonesboro to acquire property, by Dur-
chase or otherwise, for public school pur.
poses and to maintain public schools and
for these purposes to levy tax upon prop
erty, ETC., within the District, and also
the power Of the Jonesboro Educational
Society to transfer its property to said
Taxing District for school purposes, etc.
having conferred with those members of
the legal profession who were understood
to question the legality Of such steps, and
having carefully examined the various
| Acts Of Assembly bearing upon the sub.
jcct and the decision Of the Courts in ref
erence thereto report Is follows:
/. By Acts 1881, PIP. 174-17S; Acts
1885, PIP. 1852 ct seq, known as the Tax.
ing District Acts, and by Act 1881, Oh,
113, N. and v. Code, sec. 1916, and vari.
| Gus other acts which are digcsted by
Supt. Paine, dig. School Laws. pp. 1910,
power is expressly given to municipal
government to levy and collect tax for the
purpose Of erecting or purchasing and
furnishing school houses and maintaining
public schools therein, and the grant Of
this power has been repeatedly held to be
clearly within the competency Of the leg
islature. See E. Tenn. University VS..
Knoxville. Q Bsxt., 1855, and many other
cases.
2. The only restriction on the power Of
taxation for the purpose indicated Is that
the total tax levied for corporate pur-
poses-school being such-shall not eX-
coed the levy by the State.
8. II is not necessary that the question
Of taxation should be submitted TO a vote
Of the people; the power lies with the
governing boards.
4. The Educational Society has the
right to convey Its property. but not in
such way as that 1t be diverted from the
purpose Of its purchase; I. G., public
schools. 1t would be highly proper, II
not essential to the validity Of q transfer,
to require continuing guarantee Of the
transferee to keep and maintain public
schools on the property, and to make a
noncompliance with this condition a
| ground Of forfeiture and reversion.

BY the mercst chance In the twilight gloom,
In the orchard path he met me-
In the tall wet grass, with IFS faint perfume,
And tried to pass, but he made no room;

So I stood and blushed TIL the grass grew red,
with my face bent down above IT.,
While he took my hand, as ne whispering said
How the clover lifted its pink, sweet head,
To listen 10 all that my lover said!
Oh, the clover in bloom, love III
In the high wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low, wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when I valnly tried,
In the arms Of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there, and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me;
And he looked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs oerhead
To listen to all that my lover said!

As the night was come with Its dcws at last,
And the sky with is stars was Milling.

And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and said
How the stars crcpt out when the white moon led,
TO listen to all that my lover said

And I'm sure that the wind, precious rover,
