Managing a Boy Choir-Jealousios OF a

"What class contributes mostly to the

"Any and all, almost Often sons of

suitable voices, or bows in the neighhor

come from If they can sing. For my own
part, | don't want the church members
sons: they are apt to fancy themselves
somewhat more privileged than outsiders.
1t is difficult thing in many instances to
manage boy choir. You see the pay is
not, as a general thing, sufficient to prove
any very great attraction, and after the
novelty wears OF il is frequently hard to

CrOquet Game.

The croqnet game between the EHono-
lulus" and the ''Bawaiis,' last Saturday
at Haimoeipe ground, was one OF the
longest games played between the two
clubs. The game was called at II O'Clock
a. m. by the umpire, Lieutenant Robert
Parker and the scorer, Mr.. Joseph Liwal,
and ceased at 4:3O p. IN. Both sides
were in white dress The Honolulus
wore blue silk straps around their waists
and the Hawaiis wore red silk bands on
their hats The game was not largely
attended. but was well contested from
beginning To end. The Honolulus
played poorly at the beginning, the first
player passing only one hoop; the sec
ond passed two hoops; the third passed
one, and the last failed to pass the first
hoop. The Hawaiis played better. The
first two players passed two hoops each ;
the third passed one hoop, and the last
failed to pass. The game was an excit-
ing one throughout and resulted in the
Honolulus winning. After the game
was over the two clubs entertained the
visitors at luncheon The following were
the players of the clubs:
Observation-Disclosures Kaahu, Ka-
kelehiwa, Ibilliam-captain.
Hawaiis-Hookano Kalolii, Ibana
Kupa-captain.

Mr.. w. N. Thornton died at his
heme in this city yesterday after
noon, at about half past 3 o'clock,
after an illness of two or three
weeks with typho-malarial fever.
We go to press too early to give
an extended account of the death,
but Mr.. Thornton, who for the
last five or six years has been
Sheriff. of this county, was sterl-
ing,upright and progressive citizen
and was universally like and, es-
teemed for his many virtues. He
was a member of the B1ptist
church. He leaves wife and five
small children. We deeply SYM
pathize with the bereaved.

A Phenomenon.

For the last two or three weeks
q very fine mist similar to that of
foggy morning has been falling
uninterruptedly in a space about
- feet square near cherry
tree in the yard of Mr.. Maiou
Hoyl, about two miles from the
city. On the brightest as we'll as
the cloudest days this fine rain
falls, and since it became known
hundreds have visited Mr.. Hoyrs
to see for themselves what is
thought by many to be the most
wonderful freak ever heard OF.
With but few exceptions it is
thought to be fine rainfall,
while the philosophy of others,
and the most reasonable yet pre-.
sented,is thatlt is the sap from the
cherry tree, which has shed its
leaves. At this season of the
year the sap all returns to the
roots of the tree, and there being
such an abundance of sap,it cannot
all be conducted by the natural
causes, and the bark of the cher
ry tree being thin, the sap exudes
and is carried from the tree by
the atmosphere and falls to the
ground like mist or q very
slight sprinkle of rain. Other
cherry trees in the neighborhood
were examined and the same light
mist was found falling near them.

Dawson as a Market.

Dawson has always been recog-
nized as one of the leading cotton
markets Of this section, and the
prospects are that it will continue
so. So far, she has been paying
right along with the other neigh
boring towns having no better
facilities, and there is no doubt at
all that this state of things will
continue throughout the season.
Dawson offers the planters of
Webster, Randolph, Calhoun and
Stewart as many inducements as
any of the rival towns, and the
advantages which we possess, two
numerous to mention, will GER
tainly bring large portion Of the
cotton of the above named coun-
ties to our market.

and a source of pride to the pas

has labored so faithfully ever since
he has been stationed here.
