T. R. Smith has returned from his Flor
ida trip.
Miss Nellie P. Burke returned last Fri
day from an extended visit in Whining
ton and Philadelphia.
Louis Shew, frem Mount Clair Heights
N. ] is home on a weeks vacation.
Our public school takes a weeks vaca-
ton to allow the teachers to attend the
Institute.
Mr.. N. L. Prettyman, from Slaughter
Neck, has moved into town and engaged
in buying and shipping poultry and eggs.
Postmaster John Wilkins is again at
his post Of duty after being confued to
his house for several days with an attack
of neuralgia.

An election of officers of the Lincoln
Union Sunday School will be held next
Sunday.
Master Willie Burke and sister Flor
euce, from Magnolia, are the guests of
their cousin Miss Mary Burke.
H. F. Smith is suffering from a pleu-
ritic attack.
The extra meetings which commenced
in the Methodist Church here under
omens of anything but auspicious re-
suits, have by the untiring efforts of Rev.
G. w. Burke, assisted by Mrs William
Chipman and few other faithful work
ers in the good cause, proven a grand
success. Last Sunday evening there was
sixteen OF the new converts admitted into
the church OIL probation. The meetings
will be continued as long as there ap-
pears any prospect of winning a soul.
Mr.. Burke rightly feels elated over the
grand results the meetings have wrought,
and he may well feel proud over the good
work he has accomplished during his one
year residence with US. Nearly every
person on this circuit anxious for his
return for another year, but we fear we
are doomed to disappointment in this, as
we have heard a rumor that he is to be
to a larger and a better pay
ing place. Mr.. Burke came among US
an entire stranger. little dreaming that
this was to be bis trial year in purgatory,
but such it has been, and he has stood
the test and comes out as good-and if it
we're possible better christian than
when he entered. Surely he has an ex.
perience the memory of which he will
carry to the grave. One year ago when
Mr.. Burke came here, this Methodist
Church and the whole community was
torn with the most bitter raucor that
could possibly exist in a civilized COM
munity-caused by a former preachers
ignorance of human nature anf-his head |
strong and overbearing disposition. It |
did not take Mr.. Burke long TO see how
stood, and he at onek with that
firm determination and sop1d Judgment
to him, took his stand to do
right let the cost be WHAT it may; and he

in Milford after a four day session. Sue.

Handy best expresses it when he said,
''rhis is the most interesting, the largest
attended and most successful Teachers

The weather has been good with the
exception of one day. The program as
printed announced such eminent men in
the educational world as DIR. SchafTer,
Prof Brumbaugh. Dr. Raub and Prof
Hauck as speakers, and as a result, Dor
sey Hall was filed at every session.
Resolutions Of sympathy were adopted
and copy sentto the family of the late
Chief Justice Robinson.
Robert J. Burdette, the humorist, had
an audience of 500 people to hear him on
Monday night in his lecture "a Twice
Told Tale, etc, which was happily re-
ceived
Tuesday was very rainy day, but still
the>people packed Dorsey Hall, morn

gram was particularly interesting and the
lecture OF L. l. Handy, in tile evening
on "The Afriran ia America, E" was closely
followed by those who we're GU isus to
know just what position a man so parti-
san as he would take.
Wednesday was the big day of the In
stitute. There were more people at the

draughled for presentation to the legislature
. Amongst its other provisions-whic were
published in the cHRoNIcLE a few weeks
siuce-it stipu'ates that the committee shall
Eoninaies several sites for the location ofthe
building, and the voters Of the districts shall
vote for selection. This is a pyiDsa facia ac-
acknowledgement Of the committees incom-
potency to do the work for which tits created.
As if that would give satisfaction As long
as there are two sides to any question there
will always be minority; and the natural
sequence is, the minority will to a certain
extent be dissatisfied. A few years ago when
the local option bill was before the legisla-
ture the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard wrote to
member Of that body a letter in which he |
said in substance, 'the people have dele.
gated to their representatives the power 4
to make laws and their representatives can
not delegate that power back to the people. "
Aud on the advice contained in that letter
the local option movement was defeated.
We think the cases are analogous The
committee have power TO locate the site for
the school house, then why try to delegate
the power to the people? It will only create
more confusion aud contention than ever
If they are men why do they try to shirk
their duty9 There will be dissatisfaction un-
til the matter is fully settled, but there will
be less if the committee will do its duty
