Sad eyed sorrow clowded this Office
one hour last week, when, III the clear
light of heavenly sun we we're divested
of our safe which bore the inscription
"Transcript' above it's door, The sad
ness was not caused from the loss OF the
"heavy article" because it was never our
own, but from the fact that during it's
scjourn with us for few months it af-
forded very convenient home for our
faithful sponge, "nonpareil' dollar signs,
and list of delinquent subscribers within
it's shining new drawers and shelves,
which had never known the sound of
silver nor the rich crumbling noise of
green backs, says the Graceville Tran
script.

for visit of several weeks with relatives
in Ohio, says the Waverly Tribune Of the

he will re-enter the state university for a
year and complete his medical education.
During Mr.. O'Connor's residence in Wav.
erly he has been a leader in musical cir
cles. AS instructor Of the band he has
succeeded in pushing that organization
to high degree of excellence, and his
efforts are appreciated not only by the
band but by the citizens in general. That
there should be come substantial evil
dence Of this appreciation and the high
regard in which Mr.. O'Connor is held by
our citizens, j. F. Donnell Friday con-
ceived the idea of gathering the citizens
together at: the Town Hall Saturday
evening and giving him party and 9
present At the hall the band played
several pieces, the young people danced,
the ladies served refreshments and nice
little purse was presented Mr.. O'ConRor
to help him on his way at school All Of
which was very nice, appropriate, and
again proves the fact that Waverly always
does the right thing atthe right time.
