The desks, stoves, etc. used in
the old court house will be sold to-
day at auction by Auditor Kendlen.
Here's chance of life time for
some town that wishes to go into the
court house business. @
Marshal Fuqua ''collared" a
tramp yesterday who was making
himself nuisance in the outskirts OF
town. The fellow was taken before
Judge Hildreth, who gave him five
minutes to get out of town, which he
promptly did.
No better point than, Worthing-
ton could be found for wholesale
grocery store. We have the railroad
facilities. The wholesale house at
Sheldon has been a success from the
start, and now employs half dozen
men on the road.

and orchestra will open at Masonic
hall the rest of this week. First

companied by one paid ticket. Grand

| Word has been received here of
the marriage of John Cousins and
Mrs. Akin Miner at Spirit Lake.
Mr.. Cousins is wealthy citizen of
Spirit Lake. Mrs. Miner, now Mrs.
Cousins, is the widow of Capt. Miner,
one of the earliest settlers of Mobiles
county and Worthington.
DIR. Crigler and family are tent
ing with G. T. Shattuck and Mr..
Ludlow's people at Spirit Lake and
will remain there during the Chau-
tauqua Assembly. The doctor is
taking in boating and fishing with a
relish. The Chautauqua is the place
to go for recreation and an all round
good time.
| All Worthington will agree that
a deep we'll should be put down, for
village use, at once. The lake is not
materially on the ''rise" at present
and something should be done to
preserve this bright jewel for Worth
ington. Supt Tibbetts estimates that
we'll can be put down for $1,000 to
$1,000.

lture tomorrow evening at 8 O'Clock
/ at the new court house hall, to which

that large audience will be present
to enjoy the address.

line of this entertainment will be
published next week.
1T is to be hoped that the people
of Worthington will show their inter-
est in the work of the teachers by at
tending the sessions of the summer
| school now being held in this city.
The profession of teaching is a high
and noble one, and all good citizens
should take deep interest in the work.
The teacher is entitled to and should
receive all encouragement possible.
