Commencement.

An event long to be remembered
and cherished by two of our rising
young men was held in the Court
House last Friday evening. 1t was
the graduating exercises of the Morris
High School, in which Fred B. Hill
and Walter D. Smith were the central
figures and composed the class of '95.
The former gave an grafton on "Edu-
cation" and the latter on Suffrage"
Both young men did themselves cred
it, and if they continue through life
as we'll as they started out, their sue
cess is assured. Both subjects we're
handled in very able manner, which
also showed excellent composition as
we'll. Judge Darling gave a short
talk on Character" then came the
presentation of diplomas by Mr..
Newell, president Of theschool board,
which was followed by few remarks
from Prof Dewey, closing the exer-
cises. The program was interspersed
with music by the orchestra and
duet by Mr.. and Mrs HI. S. Judson,
which was finely rendered.

who think beer is wicked and all the
others who think it vulgar, and the
thousands who don't dare drink it
because it makes them dyspeptic, and
the still larger number who shun it
because of it's fattening qualities, and
you have an appalling quantity of
beer left for the regular consumers of
that plebeian but delightful beverage.

Memorial Services.

Memorial day was observed here in
manner more general and impress
sive than for some time past. Hun
dreds of children joined in the parade
that marched to the Court House,
where the exercises were held in the
presence of a packed house. Several
were unable to get in. The principal
address was made by Hon. A. S.
Crossfeld, Of Browns Valley, who
eulogized the dead heroes of the late
war in very fluent and sympathetic
manner. Several recitations were
given by local talent, who did nobly,
and special mention need be made of
the solo which was superbly rendered
by Mrs. e. j. Jones. The orchestra
played several pieces fitted for the
occasion, and closed the exercises
with that old familiar air, "Marching
Through Georgia" after which the
order to "break ranks" was given.
The forenoon was spent in decorating
the graves, while in the evening Mr..
c. N. Hunt preached sermon espe-
cially adapted for Decoration day,
which was also largely attended.

On Friday last Hancock Bros co,

On Friday last Hancock Bros. com

Stone & Johnson building, which
they have erected upon the site of the
one burned down last winter. The
building is much more handsome
and somewhat larger one than its
predecessor and presents handsome
and stable appearance and is a credit
and ornament to the town. The
block is a convincing evidence of the
skill and excellence Of the Messrs.
Hancock in their line as we'll as the
enterprise and public spirit of Messrs,
Stone 4 johnson, who are erecting it..
When completed it will he something

Handbills were distributed Decora
ton day, giving notice of base ball
game between Darnen and Morris
mines. The two mines met at the
Driving Park at 4 o'clock and tried
to play ball, but after chasing one
another around the diamond few
times, time was called and they con-
cluded that they had better all so in
some back alley out of sight. The
score was something like 11s to IA in
favor of Morris. There were only a
few of the Darnen boys, and they
made up their nine with the surplus
of the Morris nine.

A Scientists Verdict.

A noted sociological investigator
has published the results of an in.
quiry into the drinking habits of Eu.
rope, and sums up as follows:
"We find that the two banner coun.
tries for freedom of commerce and in
dustry Switzerland and Holland
are also the most advanced in restrict
ing the freedom of the alcoholic drink
traffic, and that despotic Russia
comes next.
chat the two most educated ma
tions-France and Germany-are
more drunken than the most ignor-
ant-Russia, England and Spain.
'"That wealth proves to be a more
prolific cause of drunkenness than
poverty, the surplus earnings being
too often expended in drink.
THAT wine and beer are not tenn
perance drinks and that the two
countries inhabited by the chief wine
and beer drinkers, and in which the
wines and beers are of the lightest
characterize: France and Belgium
are the most drunken; while Rus
STA almost wholly brandy drinking
