Grand Opera House.

The Noble Outcast" was given
at the Grand last night, Charlie
Wells and Mollie Jefferies. The
play is melo-drama, has a very
good plot, the majority of the
scenes being laid on a southern
plantation. Opportunities for good
acting abound throughout the
performance. 1t has many humor-
GUS situations, and again it goes
to the other extreme of being
pathetic at times. Mr., Wells
takes the part of the outcast, which
is quite an eccentric character.
and his comedy is unrestrained.
Miss Jeferies is rather fascinating
and makes a good appearance.
The same play will be repeated to-
night, and ought to draw a good

East Center, west by Bryant. The
house is located to the south of the
center of district, adjoining the
town. The grounds are very nice,
but they would look much better
if the house had been located to
the rear and left the play grounds
in front. The house needs some
repairs, a coat of paiut would not
be amiss. The seats are old and
defaced by kniyes, the board and
teacher should see to this. and
bring the guilty parties to justice,
there is very heavy penalty for
defacing school property in any
manner. The school is supplied
with good charts, the maps old,
no globe; enrolment 63; average
attendance 43; per cent attendance
6S; number present 4S; the school
is in charge Of Mr.. j. s. Met Carly,
who is a very efficient teacher,
wages $40 per month; length Of
term 6 months; the interest Of the
school was good; every pupil was
at work; the order was real good.
Mr.. McCarty is naturally a teach
er, very thorough in his work; a
good disciplinarian, very firm in
his manners, and should command
the respect of every pupil. The
Sperry school should feel them
selves fortunate that they have
such a teacher.

best per cent ofattendance of any
school that have visited, doubt
less this is the reason of the in

he Must Act on the Political Assess
ment Question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-The action of
President Harrison on the evidence sub
mitted by the civil service commission,
showing that Mahone's Old Dominion Re-
publican Association violated the law
against political assessments, is awaited
with great interest. The commission has
given him, it believes, evidence enough to
procure an Indictment of the officers OF the
association, three Of whom are offlce-holders,
The commission wants to see this law
tested. If it means anything the commits
sion wants it enforced, if it does not the
commission wants it amended. The COM
mission has shown wisdom in referring the
matter to the President. Had it presented
its evidence to the district attorney he
might have hesitated, being a holdover
democrat, to prosecute republican office
holders. or if he had prosecuted them he
might have been accused of offensive parti-
sanship, but as it stands now President
Harrison himself must decide what shall be
done. The matter will of course be formally
referred to the attorney general, but this
will only be as usual for him to find the
warrant for whatever the President has de-
termined to do.
