the use and abuse Of the sexual pas

The Closing Exercises.

The commencement exercises at
Willie Halseil college last week will
be long and pleasantly remembered by
all who were fortunate enough to be
able to attend. The closing exercises
on Thursday were we'll arranged and
everything went off nicely.
Rev. IL. b. Greathouse delivered the
annual address to the college socie'
ties and it was an able and eloquent
discourse and highly appreciated by
all who heard it. A diploma was
awarded Miss Grace Fortner who en-
Joys the distinction of being the first
graduate of Willie Halsell college.
Two gold medals were gwen, one for
conduct and another for scholarship
the former 10 Jno. q. Barrett OF this
city and the latter was secured by
John Denbo of Catoosa.
The college is certainly in a very
prosperous condition and, considering
the difficulties in the gay 81 the be-
ginning Of the school year just closed
has done remarkably we'll. The atten =
dance has been satisfactory, as 1853 pu-
pills have been enrolled during the
year. The next term will begin the
first Monday in September, 1898.

sires to say that Agent Bennett in

the suggestion Of Agent Benefits
communicationsin last weeks issue Of
this paper, Mr. Conner, who is one OF
the Delaware "head men," is in favor
Of petitioning the department for the
appointment of Mr.. Bennett as dis
bursting agent. If one pc, cent. can be
saved to the people Mr.. Conner wishes
TO save it. In this connection IL may
not be out of place to state that the
department has only just audited Mr..
Bennett's accounts for the payment of
1891, and discharged his bpndsmen,
the order being dated June 5th. In

Death of a Child.

VIM. Calvert and wife, OF Chouteau,
have been called TO mourn the loss OF
their little daughter Maudie, who died
last Saturday evening, June II, after a
brief illness. She was a loving and
loYable child, and many sorrowing
hearts followed the cold and lifeless
remains to the cemetery Sunday
afternoon. The bereaved parents de-
sire TO express their heartfelt graft
tude to the many kind friends who 50
tenderlY cared for their little one dur
ing her illness and sought to tighten
their burden of sorrow at her loss.

COME AND PARTICIPATE
In the Great Celebration at vi
nita, July 4th.

Vinita sends out her friendly and
patriotic greetings to all the country
round about and invites the people to
assemble within her gates upon the
4th. Of July, 1893, and assist in cele.
brating. This you will kindly repeat
to your neighbors.
Due preparations are being made to
have a BIG time. A commodious ar
Dor with seats and speakers stand will
be erected on the south park, within
two blocks OF the center Of the city,
and here the exercises will be held in
stead Of in the woods.
The customary programme will be
varied somewhat, we believe TO the
satisfaction of the public generally.
There will not be barbecue with a
scramble for poorly cooked beef. The
people are asked to bring their din
ners and have a basket picnic. Ice
water and shade will be provided. 1t
Is doubtful II that venerable document
the declaration OF independence, will
be read.
Among the new features will be a
Grades procession".-a panorama Of
the business interests of the town-and
a calathumpian parade or rag-a-mufFin
brigade. 10 MAKE a success OF the
latter, the assistance OF every man
and boy in the country who owns a
horse or anything else he can ride,
and the relics Of a suit OF clothes, is
solicited. Each participant is ex-
pected 10 get up his own rig and the
hardest looking specimen IN the pa
rade takes the pren,um. Mr.. ]. f..
Hancock IL in command Of this de.
pariment and will take pleasure in
answering questions relating thereto
aud can doubtless offer some useful
suggestions as TO costume.
Several prominent men from abroad
has been solicited to deliver an ora
tion at IL o'clock and within a few
days an acceptance by one Of the
number is expected. One of The chief
features OF the occasion will be the
display of hreworks at night-not on
paper, but sure enough. IL is esti-
mated that the lot selected will make
an exhibition Of one hour. They fig
ure up the snug sum Of S475. 1t will
not be necessary to urge visitors to re-
remain and see the display; they can
not afford to miss it and will not do
so.
Following is the programme report
ed by the committee:
Procession will form at 10 AIN. and
traverse the principal streets OF the
city, headed by the marshal and OBJ
serving this order
Alton cornet band.
