The Normal entertainment at the
court room on Thursday evening was
probably the best meeting of the kind
ever held in the county. The lecture by
Prof. Thoroman was entertaining, al

ence. We have heard the music, sing
ing, Rotations, etc, highly compE-
mented.

in little practice on the diamond Fri
day afternoon. Charyat and Country
man worked the globe for Nowlin and
| Swiggett brothers performed the same
service for Rose. The day was very
warm. Straw hats and umbrellas were
in demand. On the whole the exercise
was more active than brilliant. The
victory was awarded the Nowlinites by a
score of Il to II.
The Normal just closing has been
marked by hard study and close atten-
ton to the work in hand. The deport-
ment of students and their cheerful
obedience to the necessary rules and
regulations has been the source of great
satisfaction to the faculty and superin-
tendept The increasing good order at
the entertainment is also encouraging.
The hearty cooperation OF citizens and
leading teachers is gratefully acknowl
edged.
The County Teachers association was
reorganized Thursday by the selection
