 Messrs D. H. White and J. c. Atkins of Bourland's Store gave us a pleasant call Wednesday. MT. White not ouly subscribed for the paper himself but for MT. o. K. Mcdaniel, formerly of this county, but now a resident of White Oak, Texas.
 Now that the Prescott High School is without a principal, re sug gest that the board of trustees make an effort to secure the service of Prof. Ansley. He is a ripe scholar as everybody knows, gentlemen of the first water a more industrious, hard working man in the school room could not be fo und. And the consolidation of his school with the Prescott school would be quito an item, too.
 Prof. s. II. Pope closed his school with a full attendance. He has fought here successfully for ten months. The five months term just expired, in which he was asis. ted by Misses Kirkland and Thom- asson, was a subscription school, supp orted by the first citizens of the place. There was a sad parting between him and his pupils. Sue cess to you, Col, whether you re- main with us, or depart for wider fields of labor.
 X sad accident occurred in the Artesian neighborhood last Mon- day evening, Dr. Milam's little son Charley, was having the chills, and Mrs Milam:went to give hima dose of quinine, but through mistake gave a heavy dose of morphine. The little fellow went to sleep, and af- ter he had slept some time, and his mother went to wake him up, she discovered the ~,stake she had made. A doctor was sent for but Charley never awaked any more.
 NIT. Edwin Stuart and wife go from here to Prescott, where they will play an engagement with the band of that place. They have spent several weeks in our city and made many friends. In our associations with MT. Stuart we have found him to be a thorough gentleman, genial nhtured and thor ough going. He and his estimable lady are both talented artists, and we heartily wish them success and happiness wherever they may go. Hope Telegraph.
 Mir. Stuart and lady gave two splendid theatrical entertainments at Hope lately, assisted by some of it's local talent. They were the leading characters in Lambert & RichardsOn's troupe winch stop ped here some time ago. Our peo- pie no doubt recollcct the splendid manner in which Mir. and Mrs. Stuart rend%red the leading parts They, assisted by some of our best local talent, will play "Inshavogue' a beautiful Irish Drama, on Friday night. As our people generally patronize good shows we hope they will give this one especially 2 liberal patronage, as it is gOtton up for the benefit of the Prescott cor net band.

 ,i We regret that it becomes oul tduty to call the attention of the Town Council to the exceedingly bad condition of the sidewalks il ) our little city. Some new walk are needed and many of the olt I ones are needing repairs. In some localities it is almost impossible tt get about on foot. It does seen ; to us that the council could en force the law compelling propert. ! owners to keep good sidewalks il front of their property, and collect the money on last years street tax
