his was viciously attacked. Garvey
hurled large stone at the officer and

ABINGDON, April 6.-The long looked for
entertai nment given last night by the scholars
of our school under the guidance and assist
ance of their teacher, Miss Elizabeth Meter,
gave to a large and appreclative audience a
period of true enjoyment. The programme
was composed of songs. recitations, panto-
mines, tableaux, dialogues and sprightly
little farce as the conclusion of the entertain
ment. The opening exercise was a song and
march by the scholars. Rose Martin, Ella
