Rhetorical Exercises at The Opera
House Friday Evening.
The closing exercises OF our schools at
Rolls opera house last Friday brought out
a large and appreciative audience. The
first part of the programme which consis-
ted of an exercise entitled, "The Children
of the Year was participated in by about
forty of the children of the lower depart
ments. Some Of tho speakers failed to
make themselves heard by the whole audi.
ence, yet the promptness and precision
with which they responded to their sever
al parts reflected credit upon their teachers
The second part consisted Of recitations
by seven young ladies Of the high school
department 1t was but just to have 1t
known that these recitations were pre-
pared first merely as drill in eiocution.
The following were the titles in the order
in which they were rendered.: The En-
glneers Story. The Rustic Bridal. Mac
Lanes Child. The Black Horse and his
Rider. Pledge with Wine. Alexander
Hamilton and the Polish Boy. The
first, second, fourth, sixth and seventh
selections called forth many gestures
which we're executed with ease and grace.
The selections were all rendered with
good effect Robertsons orchestra fur.

departments rendered "The Parting song"

To OLD SOLDIERS OF HAND COUNTY
On Saturday the 18th. there Will be
caucus held at the court house, for the
purpose Of electing ten delegates to repre-
sent Miller precinct in the County con-
vention that is to be held at st. Lawrence
July 10th. Now old soldiers of Miller
precinct, who do we want to represent us
at that convention Do we want ten
men elected by tho ring that is working
against the old soldier Not much, the
soldiers of this county know very well
that last winter the order was sent out
from the census department of Washing
ton that the census enumerators should
be appointed from among the old soldiers.
How has it worked here in this county
The head bell wether of that ring has set
here In his office and work every scheme
that he could think of to defeat the old
soldiers of this county from getting the
appointments Of census enumerators,
and to certain extent has succeeded, and
has secured the appointments of big,
stout, healthy, able bodied young men,
and the old soldier has been crowded to
the rear. The leaders of that ring and
the young men that will accept OF those
positions after the order was sent out
from Washington that none but the old sol
dier should have the appointment, virtually
saying, dam the old soldier, what do We
Care for him or for what he has done for
us2" All they care for the old soldier is
to hoodwink him in their ring and get
him to vote rs they say.
There isn't an old soldier in this county
but what knows that John A. Pickler, our
representative in congres is, and has been
doing all that he possibly could do to
try and secure the passage OF such pension
legislation as would do justice to the old
soldier. We also know that this bell
wether is working every scheme and pull
ing on every string he can get hold Of to
try and be sent to Mitchell as one of the
delegates to the State convention on Aug.
9th, for the purpose of doing all he
possibly can to defeat Picker for renom-
ination. Now old soldiers what are you
to do7 Are you going in that caucus to
be led up to the rack bv the bell-wether
and vote for the men that will in the
county convention support and work for
the appointment of this bell-wether as
delegate to the state convention in August
that he may do all in his power to defeat
the nomination of Picker? II so, don't
never again complain about what congress
is doing, or rather is not doing for the old
soldiers, for that is the whole secret Of
this pension legislation, the old soldiers
are led around AMI hoodwinked in the
meshes of these political tricksters.
