CEDAR BLUFF HIGH SCHOOL
A Fine Prospect for the
Future.


country. Il is gratifying indeed to
see these hopes springing up and
growing among our own people.
The cause of education is becoming
stronger; and, tho. there are many
schools in the land that are inefficient
if not positively ruinous, because they
are run by men of low standards and
low motives, yet, as the years go by,
the spurious disappear and the genu-
inc take their places. The people
always, sooner or later, recognize
merit, and we may accept the maxim
whatever deserves to succeed will
succeed.
For twelve or fifteen years Cedar
Bluff has had chartered High
Sch Dol, which has been run with
varying success. To show how the
cause of education is growing in that
little village, last year the people by
united effort erected a beautiful
building for their children, and placed
in it corps of competent teachers.
They have proven their interest and
determination to give their young
people the greatest of all heritages-
a good education, by faithfully pat
ronizing the school, and, to an OBJ
server, everything seems to have
moved along in harmony. If self
interest be the motive in the found
ing of such schools it is the very
highest type of selfshness, and as
laudable as the principle of self pro-
lection, which it is, in high sense.
The closing exercises for the ses-
sion of '96-97 were held in the new
building, June 3rd, and 4th. The
school rooms weIe thrown together,
and presented a very attractive ap
pearance with the tasteful lecora.
tions of ferns and festoons Tho
numbers of the programs were
happily selected, and well rendered.
Debate, recitntions .h" Peek Sisters,
drills, and tableaux, and music and
an address were the features The
flower drill was beautiful. The
vocal solo by Louise Higginbotham,
also the one by Katie John, and the
instrumental solos by Carrie Mcclure
and Mamie Higginbothan, were
very nicely done, and should have
made the heart of their faithful
teacher glad. The address by Mr..
E. L. Greever on the subject 'Citi
zenship" was much enjoyed, and
highly spoken of. All together the
occasion was very enjoyable one.
The Principal, Mr.. Joe Mcclure,
deserves praise for the evidently sue
cessful first year of his experience as
teacher. The careful training of
the pupils was very noticeable. and
speaks volumes for the efficiency and
faithfulness of his assistants, Misses
Lou Kiser and Kate Kelly, both of
whom are very popular in Cedar
Bluff.

A HEN AND A KITTEN.
The story of s,nguiariy Remarkable
Family Connection.

During my residence on our Burlington
county farm l had the rare opportunity Of
making the following interesting obserya-
tionj
One of our barnyard fowls had been
laying her daily egg i'm an unused man
ger, which she had evidently selected as n
Matching place, and she was now ready TO
begin the ordained three weeks labor or
"sitting At the same time the barn cat
had found the manager very inviting for
her hours of repose, and IL thus happened
that Tabby and old Chuck had become
friends and agreed To occupy the manager
in joint possession.
Things went along smoothly IN this
unique but happy family for several days,
during which the hen faithfully pluckCd
her breast, feathered her nest and No
doubt believed that she was Matching,
while in truth she was sitting on stale
nest eggs, from which all the warmta
of hendom could never bring chick.
Still she sat, pluckcd her breast and
turned her eggs, while pussy came and
went at WILL spending Mt least half her
time with the hen and in as close proXimi-
ty as if they had been sister eats. But the
three weeks Matching process was destined
to be very much shortened.
1t was, in fact, nearer three days than
three weeks when the hen awoke one
morning to find the nest filled with
young. Young whaty Perhaps she thought
that they were chickens, but If she was
wise enough to know the truth she was
not honest enough to acknowledge it, for
she innocently assumed that they were
chickens and her own offspring, whereas
they were pussy's kittens.
The cat and the hen, however, seemed
to remember their compact. They were
friends, Notwithstanding the advent of
children, the maternity of which was
equally claimed by the bipcd and the
quadrupod. Nay, their bond of friendship
seemed to be strengthened by the union of
their efforts to give the little ones u proper
bringing up.
Inexorablc fate, however, decrccd that
the poor little kittens should have no nat
ural mother. About the time that il was
possible for them TO live without her an
accident caused the death of the old cat,
and a home was found for all but one. To
that one the hen devoted her undivided
attention for the whole summer and so
assiduously that the kitten must surely
have believed the hen to be her true and
natural mother.
The hen going about between the house
and barn clucking for the kitten was
indeed funny sight and attracted very
general attention. and it was equally re-
markable to see the kitten run to her when
she made IA peculiar call that chickens so
well understand means something to eat
At night and during the resting hours Of
the day kittie would crawl under the
warm wings of her foster mother and the
brooding hen and her nesting kitten were
happy and contented, little dreaming that
they were so far from being related to each
other.-Our Animal Friends

Closes Tomorrow Evening.

The play put on by the Moore & Liv.
ingstone company at the opera house
last evening was the only weak one in
their repertoire ana the only one that
could be criticised in the least, The play
itself was not as strong as it might have
been and some OF the members of the
company did not have their parts with
any degree OF perfection, for several
times they forgot their lines. Aside from
this the play was good and gave univer-
sal satisfaction. Newell himself was up
to his standard and Mr.. Murphy as the
tramp made decided hit and appeared
to advantage. The other members OF
the cast were fairly well taken. The
specialties were above the average and

Corner Fifth and Oak Streets
TN. Fight STARTED over a Drunken
woman Whom Passer-by Was
Trying to Assist.

There was a disturbance near TIT
corner OF Fifth and Oak streets this moor
which resulted in the arrest Of woman
and three men. The row attracted &
large crowd who saw the fight, before tn,
officers arrived on the scene OF action.
1t seems that a Houghton saloon

about town all morning and yesterday
The man and his better half were both
intoxicated. Late this morning the
woman was seen walking about town
with man named Doing, having left
her husband in the rig.
crowd was following the pair and
watching their actions. lie appeared
that the man was trying TO persuade
the woman to go somewhere with him
and as she refused he attempted to force
her TO do so. At this stage a passer-by
requested Doing TO let the woman alone,
wbereupon Doing made some insulting
answer which led first TO words and
then to blows. In the melee Doing was
knocked down. A friend of Doing's
then came up and pitched into the
young man who had taken the woman's
part and for few moments things were
very interesting, when an officer came up
and arrested the whole outfit.
A large crowd had collected by this
time and followed the officers TO the
jail.
The woman was SO intoxicated that
she did not know what she was doing
and the officer left her in the council
room TO sober up. She explained that
her husband had been on long spree
here and that she came here TO take him
home.
The whole party was brought up before
Justice Curtis this afternoon when they
each had to pay 50 and costs for their
mornings amusement, although it did

done what most men would have done,
should have received So instead of being
