The Evening Shade Sabbath school
is in growing condition. With J. N.
Shaver as superintendent, P. H. Wilker
son as bis excellent assistant, and j. 6.
Yarbrough, secretary, ell Of whom are
indefatigable in their efforts to make
the institution success, accounts for the
very noticeable interest manifested by
both young and old of the village. A
good corps Of teachers come regularly up
to the relief of these gentlemen, which
adds everything to build up good Sun
day school.
The callege building was scene Of
mirth, music and matchleSs pleasure, last
Tuesday night. Evening Shades bellies
and gallants, besides several visitors from
distance, made Ga attendance above the
expectations of ell. While the prompter
yelled "eight hans zup and Circle" in one
portion of the room, those who would not
"trip the light fantastic, passed the time
in pleasant conversation and engaging in
the social games known to such occasions.
The crowning features Of the evening, Of
which we delight to make mention, were
the excellent wsltzing by Miss Virgie
and Master Eddie Craig, with very diff
cult variations, and the splendid music
furnished by Prof. Brunn's home band.

grace and long.tsiled coat, in she side

q "tickler," about the size Of q sixteen
gill flask, minus two gills, the bulk OF
which he was trying to hide with his left
arm and hat. He knew that the act Of
entering court room while court is in
session, armed unlawfully, was frowned
down years before the Arkansaw legiSla-

court room was well filed. The attorneys
with one exception, were sitting around
the clerks table biting pencils, reading,
etc. The jury was "in the bsx" chewing
tobacco and locking alternately at the
lone exception" and the Judge. The for
mer was endeavoring to translate the In
struetions of the court to the jury IN an
;mnertsnt state case, while the latter was
abstractly taking in the contents Of the
room, noting the conduct Of these passing
in and out. Those who are acquainted
