The third nine of this place played
the Dublin nine on their grounds last
Saturday. Score, 81 to 80 in favor Of
Lexington.
The boys OF this place would like to
know what has become of the Lynch
burg base ball club. They keep very
still down there.
The entertainment given By the
scholars OF the high school last Saturday
night at the school hall was decided
success. The house was full and the
frequent clapping of hands showed that
the entertainment was appreciated.
They rendered two excellent dramas,
viz: "Rsbecca's Triumph" and "Dot,
the Miners Daughter" "Rebecca's
Triumph" was played by sixteen girls
and they acquitted themselves very
creditably. In one scene picnic was
represented and the beautiful wood
scene, with the young girls grouped
around on the ground, their hair pro-
fusely decked with flowers, presented a
lovely sight and we dare say no place OF
its size could group together SO many
pretty girls. "Dot, the Miners Daugh-
ter" was also we'll rendered, the young
ladies and gentlemen taking part in it
acquitting themselves admirably. The
proceeds were $3.50, which will go to-
wards defraying the expenses Of the new
scenery that has just been placed on the
stage. Next Saturday night, June 10th,
they will render the two excellent
dramas, "My Brothers Keeper" and
"Among the Breakers" Let everybody
turn out and help the scholars with their
enterprise. Prof. Barrett deserves much
praise for the pains he has taken in his
scholars and their work.
Quite a sensation was created here
Sunday morning when it was learned
that Ed Haines and Cora Wallen had
eloped the night before. Miss Wallen
is stepdaughter OF ]. S. Cadamy.
Haines had been going with her some
time in opposition to the wishes OF the
girls parents, who finding that they
could not stop them concluded to let
them alone. Some few days ago Haines
asked for her hand in marriage, and
consent being given the wedding day
was set for next Thursday. The parents
OF the groom were opposed to his get
ting married and tried to dissuade him
from his purpose, but on Saturday he
went to the home OF the girl and the
two started off together, telling her
mother that they were going to the en-
tertainment, but it was soon found out
that they had skipped for Sabina. Sun
day morning Mrs. Cadamy started in
pursuit OF her daughter. On arriving at
sabina she found that they had taken
the six o'clock train for Columbus,
whereupon she telegraphed to the
authorities there to arrest them. When
it was learned that they were married
they were let go and went on their way
rejoicing. They were married by Squire
Luttrell, OF Memphis.
