THERE is getting to be little more
life in politics, but nothing like that
which our older citizens witnessed in
those OF a quarter of century ago and
the time is getting too short to expect
much more warmth. The differences
are not so many and varied as thew
were in ante-bellum days, but thew are
just as important.
The Clarence Bennett Companv
which presented the "Roval SlaveU on
the boards at the Opera House on Fri
day night, was pronounced among the
very best that has visited this place for
some time. They carry their own
scenery, which is a striking feature in
itself, and the playing seemed we'll sus-
tanned by every member of the COM
pany. Those who heard them last
week including many others, will want
to hear them when they come again.

1HE annual meeting of the Good
Iemplars from the different lodges of
the state, in this town, Wednesday and
thursday, was considered by them the
most successful of any meeting for
several years. Every Lodge was rem
resented and more than the usual en-
lhuslasm was manifested by the del
egates. One of the principal subjects
mat engaged their deliberations was
mat OF billiard tables in barrooms
which was considered in the direct
Inc OF leading young men into the
rink habit. With this view thew will
nemorlallze the next legislature to
separate the two by legal enactment.
Is their proximity leads to further |
Generalization of the young. The
Iood Templars of course endorse the |
bird party prohibition movement.

1T Is gratifying to the friends of O.
Voshell, as we'll as to the officers
I'D directors of the National Bank of I
nyrna, whose difficulty was noted so
idely last week in the papers. that /
'idence in part, at least, has been dis /
'vered to justify his observation that
had not used any of the funds of ]
le bank. Since that time two errors {
ave been found on the books tbat {
ssen the amount stated by Examiner {
-one to be short. between 5000 and !
800. Mr.. Voshell contended from the .
rst that when the books were nron.
'ly examined by an expert the money '
ould all be found there, and that the ]
