This village was startled from its
usual quiet last Thursday afternoon by
the news that DIR. J. IL. Mayo. one of
the homeopathic physicians of the place,
had been arrested for forgery. IL APP
pears that he hired $50 of the Randolph
Savings Bank and put up note for 500
against Mr.. Gould, his fatner-in-law, of
Gouldsville, as collateral. BY some
means the officers of the bank were led
TO suspect the genuineness of the note
and Hon. James Hutchinson, the presi-
dent, took il and went to Gouldsville and
saw Mr.. Gould who at once pronounced
it a forgery and orders were sent by tel |
egraph from Mortified TO arrest DIR. |
Mayo. He was taken about noon and, |
we understand, admitted his guilt. He |
was taken before justice and bail fixed |
at $500, while consulting with y. l.. |

pressed desire to 90 to the water clos

ed for his devoted wife by anyone. She
is an estimable and accomplished lady

who have met her during her short stay
here. DR.. }. II. Mayo succeeded DR..
in his practice and for a time
did remarkably well for young doctor,
but bad habits and circumstances which,
if generally known, would mitigate
largely in his favor, caused him to be-
come dissipated and involved him in
debt, which eliminated as above stated.
II is reported that there are other notes
of like nature out, but we cannot vouch
for the truth of the report.
The Glass Day exercises of the class of
80 were held in the upper room of the
High School building Tuesday evening
and were very entertaining to both schol-
ans and invited friends. The exercises
opened with music by male quartette,
which did great credit to the class, and,
Judging from that and the mixed quar-
tette at the close we think this class may
be said 10 have acquired good degree
Of musical ability with their other branch
as OF knowledge. The Glass History by
Edgar Salisbury, was very finely given,
paying warm tribute of respect and
to Prof. and Mrs. White
hill, and weaving in many little points
that will stand as bright remembrances
to this class now about to separate. The
given by Winnie Badger,
embraced both the probable and the
improbable and created quite
an amount of amusement. They will be
in the coming years as they
come near or fall far of fulfillment. The
Class Essay by Mamie Steele also did
the class credit and showed careful work.
while the Glass Poem, by Harriet Angel,
gave tender thoughts of the parting so
near. Leonard Hutchinson followed this
with the Class Grafton giving earnest.
