When Fleming was called to account for
the article, he claimed that Ida Wells, a
negress now travelling in Great Britain
wrote it.
The statement was accepted as true,
but he elected to leave town, and so did
his female associate. Fleming was the
ringleader of the negro uprising in Crit
tenden county, Arkansas, several years
ago and was driven out of the country
and warned not to return.
He returned day before yesterday and
was set upon by citizens and
severely beaten, one of the crowd slicing
off one Of his ears with knife. The ne
gro escaped to the woods but was not
pursued, the Marionites being satisfied
that he would not return.

School Notes.

I am informed by teacher of Graham
county that 96 pupils attended the Nor
NAL at Hill City. OF this number 45
wrote the examination. One first grade
certificate was issued, five second grades
and only seventeen third grades
although the standard for third grades
is only 40 and 60. Forty-nine per cent,
of failures although at least one other
county having much higher standard
reports only Is per cent. of failures.
Why? Are the teachers of one county
better prepared than those of another
to the tune Of 35 per cent? Are we
uniform in our grading?
A young man who has had some ex-
perience as teacher was canvassing a
neighboring county last spring selling
school supplies. In one district that he
canvassed he found the board complain
ing of the inefficiency of their teacher
and the failure of schools in general. A
little inquiry revealed the fact that their
teacher was worrying along on $lS per
month and boarding herself. Our friend
sold no school supplies there. Why?
"Happy Hollow" school district No.
26, has voted bonds in the sum of $400
for the purpose of building school
house. The officers are J. W. Richard
son, A. L. Richardson and J. T. Ford,
Brownell.

will be published soon.

Farewell Reception,

A very informal reception was held at
the depot last Tuesday evening. The
friends of Mr.. Nelson's family, individu.
ally, went to the train to say good bye
to the family, only to find that everv
body else in town had gone down for the
same purpose. Many and hearty were
the good wishes profered for their safe
and happy arrival in their new home
and their prosperity when located; and
the regrets expressed were Just as earn
est for we have no friends to lose.
This little city of Wa-Keeney has had
q society, that for refinement, intelli-
gence and actual worth was excelled by
no city of its size any where. This is
not our individual opinion, but strang-
ers who have visited us have, unsolicit-
ed, testified to the social qualities of our
people. We did not have so manv
friends that we could not each enter into
the good fortune of, or sympathize in
the Ill fortune of a friend. If one went
away he knew where he was going, SYM
pathiZed in his errand and was glad to
see him back again.
This is one of the pleasures incident
to small society. Every man knows
and is interested in his fellow. his
circle of acquaintances is larger hun.
dred fold than if he lived in city al
$4,000 inhabitants, where probably not
one dozen OF whom would know if he
LETT town, would not know where he was
going, nor care one rap whether he eve,
returned or not.
Mr.. Nelson's family is one that will be
missed, we are sorry to see them go, but
we sincerely hope that now since the
rubicon is passed that they will find in
their new home all that the old lacked
which we earnestly believe was only .
sufficient amount of legal business to
make it profitable for Mr.. Nelson to ne.
main here. May their new friends vel.
come them as heartily as their old
friends gave them god d-speed.

Who just had reached majority. y

Twas plain that he was born to rule.
Like all bright boys he also had
Another smart man for his dad.
A man no doubt born to be great
And rule the people of the state
He'd tried indeed, it was his nature
To rule the court and legislature
1t happened once upon a day
He to his scion thus did say:
"My noble son since now your sire
Has felt call to come up higher;
You too, should feel ambitions fire
And to some office must aspire,
Now there is one that seems to beck
1t is the place of old man Peck
Well claim he's old and getting blind
And can not run perfect line,
While thirteen years ago you see,
You carried flag and rode with me.
And should you get the place my son
The work is little to be done,
But since you can not do the work
Just deputize your dad for clerk.
Twill cost but little, tits agreed
The county'll buy the tools you'd need.
So said so done, the die was cast
And in the race he is at last.
Alas! Election may be chance
But the he'll find his name is pants.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as soon as a cold has
been contracted, and before it has be-
come settled in the system, it will coun-
teract the effect of the cold and greatly
lessen its severity, if not effectually cure
the cold in two days time, and it is the
only remedy that will do this. 1t acts in
perfect harmony with nature and aids
nature in relieving the lungs, opening
the secretions, liquefying the mucus and
causing its expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs and restoring the system to
a strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure cold so quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. For

The Presbyterian Ladies' Missionary
society met last Friday afternoon with
Mrs. A. H. Blair. The usual routine of
serious business was carried out. Pa
pers were read, listened to, commented
on, and the reports were read and ac-
cepted, In fact there was nothing to
indicate that the hostess had anything
on her mind except solely (soully) the
welfare of the proteges of the society,
when presently the business being dis
patched little tables were placed before
the ladies and the sober body was broken
up into animated little groups of threes
and fours and the erstwhile spiritual as
semblage Immediately took on the ap-
pearapce of very temporal fete. But
the ladies did NOT resent the transition
bit, for the tables were only the
harbingers of most delightful lunch
which was at once forthcoming. All
were very enthusiastic over Mrs. Blair's
surprise and voted it the most pleasant
and profitable meeting that the society
had held for long time.
