A French writer, Edouard Toulouse, has
examined Zola's mental pecuiarities and
has discovered a peculiar weakness Of
memory. He could not recognize we'll
known citations from Moiere, rBalzac,
Hugo and George Sand, and in some cases
even failed to remember his own early
writings when passages from them were
read to him.
Still another candidate for the honor of
having discovered positive cure" for
consumption has arisen in the person OF
Professor Maragliano, of Genoa, Italy. He
limits the curative powers Of his new serum
remedy, however, to the first stages of the
disease. Experiments which are being car
ried On with the serum at st. Luke's Hos
pital, in New York, would seem to reveal,
according to the hospital staff, an increase
in patients power Of resistance. As
treatment must be continued for one year
in order to secure definite verdict upon
his anti-tuberculin, it would be foolish TO
build up any hopes thus early on the
strength of slight preliminary rally Of the
treated consumptlves. Hope grows, how
ever, in spite of the many failures since
the Koch lymph fiasco, that a tuberculosis
serum cure may yet be discovered.-Ex,
change.

The schools at this place closed on the
30th inst, and the teachers, MIR. A. H.

Quite a lot of gripp in the community,

The past week has been the coolest snap
of the season, and farmers say it is the

MIR. JESSE F. WHITE IN FLORIDA
He Has q Dueking.

Several weeks ago Mr.. Jesse F. White,
one ofth proprietors Of the Central Hote
at this place, went to Florida He.is en-
ioying the climate and fishing down there,
but came very near meeting with serious
accident. In a letter of the Doth inst.
written from Umatilla, Fla, TO his nephew
Mr.. w. B. F. White, he wrote as follows:
NJ created quite an excitement in town
yesterday. 1 went out fishing alone in a
boat, made msstep and went kerchung
oyrboard where the water was 20 feet
deep. There was lot of women nearby
washing, who began screaming and sent
runners to town, and in few minutes the
whole population, men, women and chill
dren were on the bank advising me what
to do. Finally, after about halfan hours
kicking and padding around, ] managed
to get hold of a snag and pulled myself up
into the boat. The only damage sustained
was getting my greenbaclss and a few
papers little wet, but not enough to hurt.
The weather is fine and lam enjoying
myself hugely. Tell Lewis Britain l think
of him every time that pull in a 20 inch
bass or a 80 inch pike, of which l have
caught several. think will stay here
until March 1st l had tomatoes and
Strawberries for dinner, picked today"
We congratulate Mr.. White on his escape
from a watery grave, and hope he will con-
tinue to enjoy the fishing and fresh fruits
and vegetables of Florida, and come home
very much improved in health.

Closing Exercises of TazewelI High School


On last Friday night the closing exer-
cises of Tazewel High School, for the pub
lie school term, were held in the Town
Hall. A large crowd of the friends and
patrons of the school was present, and ex-
hbited great interest in the exercises.
The entertainment was quite an interest
ing one, and all the boys and girls, young
ladies and gentlemen who participated,
did their parts well. -Four choruses were
sung by Glasses Nos. l, 2, 8 and 4, re-
spectively. The songs " Nere pretty and well
sung. Miss Bessie Cooley delivered the
salutatory in very pleasing style. The re-
citation of "Little Bessie" by Miss Jen-

were all excellent Mr.. Joseph Litz made
a good Grafton and Messrs. Hutton Ball
and John O'Keef1e- made nice declama-
tions. The drill of the 'Iittle Patriots"
one of the most pleasing numbers of
the programme, was beautiful and the lit
tie girls who participated looked as sweet
as possible. The walking tableau, "a
Chip Out of the Old Block" was very
cute, and elected much applause, while
the chorus, Coming Thro' the Rye" by
class of bright little girls, dressed in
Highland costume, was SO pretty as to
provoke an encore. A very interesting
debate took place upon the important
question--"R Resolved that the United
States government should pass woman
suffrage law" The affirmative was rep
resented by Miss Maggie Peery and MIR.
K. G. Baylor, and the negative by Miss
Lena Alexander and Mr.. Frank d. Kits.
Both sides were ably represented, but the
committee decided the question IN favor
Of the negative.

livered by Mr.. Austin Belew, and the eX-

THE ENEMY OF LABOR"
Caminetti Denounced by the Council

At the regular meeting of the Fed
Grated Trades Council last evening the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, A mass meeting of or
ganized labor was held in the city of
Sacramento on the 10th day of Feb
ruary, 1897, under the auspices of this
Federation, to protest against the ac-
ton of Governor James H. Budd in
vetoing the bill for the relief of the
State Printing Office, and against his
demand expressed in the message ac-
companying said veto that the work
there performed should in future be
let out by contract to the lowest bid
der and
Whereas, On the following day, to
wit, on the 11th day of February, 1897,
on the floor of the Assembly of the Leg
islature of California, one A. Caminetti,
an Assemblyman from the county of
Amador, in discussing said veto mes
sage, took occasion to violently de-
nounce said labor mass meeting and
those participating therein, and to ve-
lfemently refer to the efforts of wage
earners to protect themselves against
the assaults of their enemies as the
tyranny OF labor therefore
Resolved, BY the Council of FEEDER
q ted Trades of the city of Sacramento,
that said denunciation on the part of
said Caminetti and the slur cast upon
this Federation and upon organized
labor generally by said Caminetti be
taken official notice of by this Fedora
ton, and that the same be made a
matter of record in the archives thereof
Resolved, That said Caminetti by his
action in the Legislature, and by his
intemperate reference to trades union
ism as a Tyranny has clearly shown
himself to be an enemy Of labor, and he
! is hereby declared so to be
Resolved. That copies of these reso-
lutions be furnished. under seal. to sis
