AN ADVANCE IN MONEY

NEW YORK, Oct. z. The cotton mar
ket opened steady at decline of about
points and closed barely steady at net
decline of 4a6 points. The early weak
ness was due to disappointing cables and
an indication of a free portward move
ment of cotton for the week. Pending
the government crop report, local buyers
are disposed to be cautious. Outside
speculation is still inclined to the long
side of the account and buying orders
rush in whenever the market shows any
signs of decided weakness. Liverpool
was a pretty good seller of cotton, while
most of the orders from New Orleaus
and the South generally were favorable
to buying. In the afternoon the market
showed but little snap.

1t is rather difficult to tell which is
the happier, Prof w. A. Pitzer or his
pupils. For some weeks past the
Statesman has contained an advertise
ment offering solid gold watch to the
most popular teacher in the county.
On Saturday night last the votes were
counted and it was found that the eff
ficient principal of the Second Ward
school had won by large majority,
While the watch is quite valuable, it
is most highly priced as an indication
of the appreciation of the services
which the recipient has rendered.

Holiday Festivities.

Alter losing week it would be an i'm
possibility to enumerate all the doings
of all the people during the past ten
days. There were celebrations and
anniversary exercises at all of the
churches, the bulk of which were here
toiore announced, and balls and par
ties and sociables galore. We would
have been more than pleased to have
attended all but that would have been
physical impossibility. Other mem
bers of the fraternity were similarly
situated, which goes to prove that
sharpening pencils is not our only
duty.
At the first NJ. Z. Church on Christ
mas nighta great crowd at least 1900,
witnessed the festivities and appeared
to be well pleased. The recitation
by Miss Edith Norris, entitled "Lit-
tie Rockets Christina" was very fine,
and the solo, Hang Up the Baby S
Stocking" by Miss Edith DeGrange,
could not have been excelled. All
others, including Santa Claus, did
we'll. The treat of candy and nuts
was enjoyed by the entire school.
Similar services were held at the I.uth.
eran. Episcopal, Reformed, Baptist,
Trinity NJ. F., and U. B. churches
