The social event of the week will

one will be something pleasant and

out all about it will be to go and take
your best girl with you.

Mr.. JOS. Pennington, died at the
residence of her mother, Mrs. j. G.
Brown, in this place, last Monday
night, of consumption. She was
buried on Tuesday afternoon, the

the Methodist Church. She had
been in delicate health for some
months. Her devoted husband and
relatives have the sympathy of the
community in their sad bereavement.
1t is very gratifying to note the
progress which the pupils of the new
city school are making. Prof. Bell
and his excellent corps of assistants
have all the pupils so much interest
ed in their studies that school is more
a pleasure than task to them, and
parents speak in glowing terms of
the rapid advancement of their chill
dren. The school is a big success,
and everybody seems delighted with
its working. Over one hundred patent
desks have been ordered for the
school, and are expected to arrive
every day.
