FROM CARROLLTON.
Notes Cleaned by The Tribune's Spe-
cial Correspondent.

HOSC w llO utO iiiASA III t'N
eemetry at Carrollton can mani
fest it by meeting at the cemetry
grounds on the morning Of May II
tor the purpose of removing all the
useless shrubbery and rocks. This
is a duty that none should neglect.
The graves of the dead sh. uld be
cared for.
We think that our citizens should
be more Interested in preserving
the moral influences of our town;
our officers should come to the front
and show their colors in this mat
ter, and if they cannot or will not
protect us in this particular, they
should throw up their commissions;
then our citizens will not expect it
OF them.
Our streets need working and
ditching very badly. The citizens
OF Carrollton once seemed to pride
themselves in keeping rubbish,
rocks, etc. off the streets; but. of late
this has been neglected most shame
fully, and unless remedied soon
they will be almost beyond repair.
Set time, citizens, at once and
do not procrastinate longer, thus
save your time, money and credit.
The pupils of the Academy and
the good people OF Carrollton in
general were, indeed, surprised
on last Friday when they learned
that Prof. G. A. Watson had arriv-
ed from Fayetteville. 1t seems
that it was the Professors intention
to surprise us all, since he had not
notified us OF his coming. But he
knew Carrollton's doors are always
open to him. Surprise US again,
Professor.
The resignation of. I. Worthing-
ton last December as post master
renders the situation SO that it is
absolutely necessary that Con-
eressman Dinsmore secure an ap-
pointment for this Office as soon us
practicable; and Why not it be Miss
Maggie Crockett who we think is
the best and most worthy selec-
ton that could be made. She is
young lady whose character is
beyond reproach, and her ability is
unquestionable. Her Endorsements
tor this position are unparalleled.
CLOSING OF SCHOOL.
The third term Of the Carroll
ton Academy closed Friday, May
10. The closing exercises were
such as are usually held on similar
occasions. The examination On
Friday, though partial and very
hurried, showed that the students
had studied we'll. At night the
boys and girls executed quite a
lengthy programme OF declama-
tions, readings, ETC., to a crowded
house. The badge of victory was
won by Miss THEME Collier. Miss
Dovie Thomson, elected by the
school as salutarian, did herself
credit.
Mr.. G. S. Crockett reflected much
credit on the Literary Society as
their chosen representative.
Lots we're cast between Mcssrs.
Geo. O'Neal and VIM. McCurry for
the distinction of first honor. Mr..
McCurry being the winner was an
nounceu as first honor man of the
term.
Boone county's brilliant son, Mr..
Iverson A. Jones, furnished most
interesting feature Of the occasion
by a very sensible address to
large and appreciativc audience.
Mr.. jones needs no further testi
monal than he abundantIy enjoys
as to his abil ty as Il speaker. His
audience on Friday expected to be
highly entertained and they were
not disappointed. His subject was
'sThe Importance Ut Higher Men
tai Culture"
His reference to the valuable SER
vices rendered their country by the
educated men of the early days Of
the Republic, drove home, in Il tru-
ly forcible manner, his plea for the
higher education. We believe our
young people received ~ deeper in
spiration to make the best OF their
powers by having heard that
speech.
