Mr. F. F. williamson little son, Eu-
, gene, has been suffering number OF
days from what WAS at first supposed
Ito be a cherry-stone lodged in his
throat. The child was put under the
influence of ether, last Monday, and
an operation or rather examination
had with favorable results. A tube
was inserted reaching to the bottom
OF the stomach and it was thought
that the obstruction was removed.
DIR. Riley has charge of the patient
and everything is being done to re-
lieve the little sufferer.
"Chimes of Normandy" and mi
kado," two beautiful and very pop
ular operas, will be produced at Co
lumbia Hall, on Monday and Tuesday
evenings, June 18th and 10Th, by the
the st. Johns Musical Society. 1t is
useless to say that the rendition of
these operas will be excellent, as this
society has a reputation too well es-
tablished to admit of doubt on that
score. The diagram of the hall will
be exposed at T. c. Van Epps' book
store at 9 o'clock tomorrow, where
seats may be reserved without extra
charge. We advise all who antici-
pate attending to call early if they
desire good seats, as the sale will be
large.

usual literary exercises at the Capitol.
At their close the people will adjourn
to the public square, where the
barbecue will be in readiness. Liberal
prizes are being offered for a base ball
game, log rolling, walking creased !
pole, hose race, tug OF war, bicycle
race, etc, which will be of unusual
interest this year. Great preparations
are being made for the procession of

portant feature of the celebration will |
be the open-air ball in the evening.
