Miss Lizzie Lee Warren's school. at Ssdslis,
the Gazette pays h following compli-
ment to a young lady we'll known IN this
county. "Miss Corinue Warren sang .
number, "Spring Flowers" with an obli-
cato by M. Macielenski, which won for
the young lady a deserved IND hearty en-
core. Miss Warren's voice has qualities
which are susceptible OF high grade work.
1t Is clear, sweet, flexible and Of good
compass. Her attack is confined and easy
and her runs graceful. She Ia certainly
possessed OF possibilities"
Rev. G. M. Bishop was Of . train that
was caught In the hail storm between
Hardin and Norborne last Monday after
noon. He says the hail stones were AZ
large as a mans fist. Forty-three win
dows were broken on his train, and the
passengers were greatly alarmed for fear
the hail would break through the roof.
After the train stopped at Norborne a
passenger went out and picked up a hail
stone as large as a big orange. Tele-
graphic reports state that a hail stone
broke the arm Of O boy twelve years old.
The storm was local, and only lasted Q
few minutes.
People living near the residence Of Mr..
Ethan Allen were alarmed, Thursday
night, by cries OF "help! helpl murder"
&c. Mrs. MoreIand, who lives next door,
threw open her window and screamed
"murderl" Mr.. and Mrs. Frost, who
have rooms at Mrs. Moreland's, threw up
their windows, and Mr.. Frost grabbed q
big pistol and started for the scene Of
carnage. He found Mr.. Allen in the yard
and O number of men on the front pave
ment. MIR. Frost and Mr.. Allen ventured
into the upper from ROOM, from whence
the agonizing cries issued, and found
John Slaughter sound asleep, with o
nightmare big as q box car. They shook
him till he was aroused, and the trouble
was ended. Miss Annie Allen ran down
stairs at the first alarm, spraining her
ankle SO severely that she had TO be
assisted back to her room. Peace reigns
again on Franklin avenue.
TIT best entertainments that have been
given here, have been the various num-
bers of the college lecture course. While
Mr.. Loomis deserves the thanks Of our
entire people for the talent he has brought
here in managing this course, yet the
patronage has not been sufficient to meet
the expenses aud did not justify him In
getting the finest lecturers for each num-
Der. The course he secured was good, yet
IL our people would have more generously
patronized II, better entertainments would
nave been given. Next year the course
will be under the supervision Of PrOfs.
Chambers and Hopkins, that is II we have
a lecture course. But these magnificent
attractions will be given up unless q suffi
cient number OF season tickets are engaged
to procure the best men on the road. The
course next year will be a most excellent
one, IL 1t can be arranged. Prof. Cham
bers informs US that they propose to have
five lecturers Of national repute. They
will be selected from the following: J. De-
Witt Miller, Fred Emison Brooks, Rev.
A. A. Willetts, Col. l.. +. Copeland, John
X. Clarke, ex-GOv. Robert Taylor, DIR.
Gunsaulus and Leland Powers. From this
list five will be taken. At a glance II will
be seen that no mistake will be made In
making the selections. Shall we not have
a lecture course? These lectures will bs
exalting and ennobling. They will be tbs
highest class Of entertain ments. When
you are solicited to take season tickets
remember the benefits of such q course
and subscribe literally. Americas great
est lecturers will be brought here il oui
people will only give their support.
