The school at this place closed on last
Saturday one of Its most successful
terms of school. The school has for the
past five months been under the watch
full care of Prof. John j. A. Burleson, as
Principal and Elias Vines, as assistant
teacher; the gentleman have so conduc-
ted affairs that they have made a record
which is few times equaled and never
eXcelled in the public schools. | know
that very often men are eXquisitely
praised by their friends, but while the
writer is thinking of the successfulness
of the school he is forced to say that it
has ever been taught at the place; they
have so tried to overcome all difficulties
and opposition, and have done so in such
a way that those who have opposed the
progress of the school are now ashamed
of so doing, and those who have stood
square to the teachers are proud of
having done so. They have SO instructed
the pupils both mentally and morally
that they have built the place to such a
height that the teachers who follow
them will not have to struggle to up
build the place, but their struggling will
be to hold it at what it is at present. |
would not congratulate the teachers for
having had such a successful year of
teaching only, but | would congratulate
both teachers and students for having
given such an interesting entertainment.
on the evening of the close of their
school. The people were entertained in
various ways. The music given by Miss
Birdie Morris, who has been the organ
list for the school, was most excellent. /

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamaed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation IA be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but on intlamed condition of the mu.
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca.
tarrhl that cannot be cured by Halls

To Toledo and Detroit.

The train service Of the c. H. &. d.
Rv., to Toledo and Detroit is wonderful.
The speed and frequency of through
trains and the modern finish and ele-
gance of the cars. are evidences of a
very high class and liberal manage
ment. The vestibuled trains of this
line make the run between the Ohio
River and the Great Lakes in 8 hours
and 40 minutes. This is a progressive
age, and the G.. II &. ID. Ry. are fully
abreast of the times. The latest equip
meut on this modern highway is the
new observation v~estibuled trains, in
which the vestibules extend the entire
width of the cars. With this arrange.
ment, the train is continuous from end
to end, and the running is as smooth
as il is possible to accomplish. Five
trains daily make their way between
the Ohio River and the Great Lakes.

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm,
Nothing so worries a physician. Con-
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact
there would be no consumption if there
was no wasting of the system. The
cause of this loss of flesh is a failure to
properly digest the food eaten. Nine
tenths of all u diseases date back to
some arrangement of the stomach. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop this
wasting of the body. 1t acts by causing
the food we eat to be digested so as to
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and is a digester
of foods as well.

receptions ever given in this place, was
in honor of W~ashington's Birth, the 22d
of February, at the residence of Mrs. j..
A. T. Bacon, by the Womens' Christian
Temperance Union. There were sixty
invitations issued, the hours being from
two to five. Though the weather was
unfavorable,yet the ladies were prompt,
attired in ancient costumes. Some of
the dresses being seventy five to n
hundred years old. 1t was interesting
to see the powdered hair, caps, head
dresses, etc. They were ushered in by
a colored servant, who stood at the door,
dressed in colonial style, holding a sill
yer waiter to receive cards of the dis
tinguished ladies whose names he called
aloud as they were received into the
parlors by the W.. C. T. U. The rooms
were deliberately decorated with lilies,
roses, hyacinths, flags and bunting
draped with stars and stripes. The
entire house was darkened and illumi-
nated-the dining room with candles in
sticks "of We olden time" Refreshments
were served in quaint and dainty style.
Mrs. Wells presented each guest with a
little Ratchet and cherry rs a souvenir,
also furnished the most delightful piano
music consisting of national airs and
medlys. The merry hours swiftly sped
away, but ere the party dispersed, an
artist caught a miniature sketch of the
happy and novel occasion, grouped on

Knoxville City officials and Street Railway
Officers Clash.
Last Monday witnessed a serious af-
fray in Knoxville. For about a year
the people of Knoxville have been la
boring under a degree of excitement
that eliminated on Monday in a con-
fllct between the city authorities and
the officers of the Citizens Railway.
Last November the Citizens Railway
Company filed IN injunction against
the Board of Public Works, to prevent
them interfering with the laying of
street railway tracks in certain parts
of the city. The line Of railway would
have been put in operation some time
ago but for the interference of mem
bers of the Board Of Public Works, and
on the assurance of certain ordinances
made by the city, the company had
constructed n part of its line, expend'
ing some $15, 900 in the work, and
claimed hat they were only prevented
from completing the work by the inter.
ference of the city officers against the
rights secured to them by law.
Feeling secure in the franchises al
ready secured from the city the COM
pany began work last Monday, when
another bill was filed by the Mayor
and Aldermen, ordering the work
stopped. This led to the trouble which
resulted in the killing of a negro work
man, by Lieut.. Hood, of the Police,
and the serious wounding of Chief Nc
Intosh, of the Fire Department,
number of warrants were issued
for parties to the riot, and the end is
not yet in sight.
