The Teachers AssO cfatIOn.

The Teachers Association met at Port
Deposit January 4th, at 2 o'clock p. M,
with President Everist in the chair. Mr.
Squier opened with prayer. The attend
ance was small, and, as many members
on the program were absent. the exer-
cises were short. Rev. MIR. Meares read
selection from Shakespeare's play of
Julius Caesar, which was listened to with
attention. The question-'Were the
evils of the French revolution common
surate with the good results?" was then
taken up. Those On the affirmative side
failed to respond, leaving the discussion
to the negative disputants, Mr.. Tammany
and Miss Biddle, and Mr.. Squier, who
essayed to argue for the affirmative.
Though quite lively for while, it was a
one-sided affair, the negative having the
best of the argument.
The program for the next meeting is az
follows: Reading, Miss Emma Brown
and Messrs Jas. Hanna and Anthony
| Davis; essays, Nessrs j. Thomas, Jr.. and
| Mitchell Hanna; question for discussion,
Resolved, that labor organizations i'm
| pede the progress of industry"

BARN BURNED.

Our townsman, Mr.. Job. Margeson,
met with severe loss by fire Saturday
evening-his barn, one horse, harnesses
nearly all of his farming implements,
and quantity of winter provisions
being consumed in a short time after
the fire was discovered.
The blaze originated by the accidental
over-turning of a lantern and the hard
wind blowing at the time soon placed
the flames beyond human control M.
MargesOn and boy made frantic efforts
to release their horses, and succeeded
in getting one out, but were prevented
from returning for the other faithful
animal which soon perished IN the
flames. Mr.. Margeson and the boy bare
ly escaping with their lives. Friends
and neighbors hurried to the scene as
quickly as possible and did all that
could be done-notwithstanding all
efforts Mr.. Margeson sustains great
loss and no insurance.
Mr.. MargesOn is an old resident hav-
ing lived in this vicinity 80 years and is
known as a hardworking, honest man
Much sympathy is felt for the family
in their loss, and we hope and believe
it will take shape to be of value tc
them financially now in their time Of

Our County Fathers Meet
IN ANNUAL SESSION,
They Greet Each Other and Talk
Over the Republican Defeat.
wv Cameron Elected Chairman Unanimously.

The members Of the county board
met in annual session Tuesday after
noon at the court house. The
board was called to order by Mr.. L. NJ
Nash, chairman who made a few sugges-
tions in reference to adding what might
be termed a judiciary committee of
three. All members were present ex-
cept two-Messrs. w. H. Bowden, of
Remington, and Henry Osterman, of
the town of Grand Rapids. The new
board was organized by the election of
Mr.. J. w. Cameron, of the town of
Vesper, as chairman. If it had been
Mr.. Cameron's good fortune to be elect
ed to the assembly as easily and so
unanimously as he was elected chair
man of the county board, he could
certainly rejoice. In one case he had
no opposition, in the other he had
strong opposition. However, we are
pleased to note the fact that the board
recognized the faithful service Mr..
Cameron has rendered the county in
his duties as one of the members Of
that body. He is an able man wher-
ever you put him, and will give the
county board good service as their
chairman. In his election the board ex-
hibited good judgment, and at the same
time rendered a compliment to one of
their most efficient members. Mr.
Cameron thanked the members of the
board for the honor bestowed upon him
by electing him chairman and asked
their further pleasure.
On motion the District Attorney was
instructed to colect $l94.00 due Wood
county from Marathon county, IN the
case of r. d. Gibson VS.. Wisconsin Val
ley r. r. Go. on change of venue.
A recess was taken until Wednesday
morning, to give the chairman time to

THE FISK TENNESSEENS.

Under the management of Mr.. B. W.
Thomas, delighted fair-sized audience
at the Baptist church Thursday evening.
Those present enjoyed an evening of
vocal melody. The Tennesseeans have
III their company fine tenor and a
magnificent bass singer. Mr.. J. H.
Chavers possesses a rich, deep bass
voice, which he uses with fine effect,
both in chorus and solo singing. He
was enthusiastically encored. The sing
ing of Mr.. M. Chambers gave equal
pleasure. He has an excellent cultured
tenor voice, not only melodious, but of
great value. He responded to repeated
recalls. His voice was displayed with
excellent effect in the duet, "Only
Three Miss Gatewood sustaining the
soprano part. Their voices blend we'll.
Miss Gatewood and Miss Lizzie NJ. Jen-

UNFORTUNATE FAILURE.

We are panied to note the failure of
II. E. Pearson, person whom the
whole community respected and had
confidence in; because of all things it is
hard to have such business culminations
occur to young man early in life, for
they can never be effaced from ones
memory and history. 1t appears that
the firm of H. E. Pearson & Co. was
running behind IN the face of appear
ances which indicated otherwise. Ellis
Rogers, one of the firm, became
dissatisfied and wanted to withdraw.
II. Z. Pearson in few days raised the
means to buy him out by going to his
many friends and having them endorse
notes with him from S25 up. He
succeeded in this manner in raising
about $400. With this he purchased
Mr.. Rogers interest and paid some other
small bills. Besides the above he is
owing Mrs. Hickman borrowed money
$40; the Q. S. Express Co., for whom
he was acting as agent $16S.50; the
American Telephone Co. $175, and
outside parties in Milwaukee about SIS,
making in all about $500. The stock
will not inventory to exceed 500 which
has mortgage of $3.50 against it iu
favor of his mother. His father has
taken possession of the stock and will
sell it out to the best advantage. He
will then pay claims against his son as
far as the means will go. All those
who are in any way connected with the
loss Of the failure are very much sur
prised in the conduct of H. E. Pearson
who has so disappointed his best
friends LATER.-Mr. H. E. Pearson
desires us to state that he Will meet all
his bills in the near future and that
none of his friends will lose through
him.
