Hamel's selections on the Euphonium
was one of the leading features of the
concert. The tone and expression
cannot be excelled and Mr.. Hamel is

part of the program was worth more
than the price of admission.
The editor the other day received
note from an Arkansas friend living in

'.Our water is so high here that every
body has gone to drinking whiskey."

week Circuit Clerk Huff had issued
but one subpoena for witnesses in
criminal cases for the coming term of
circuit court, which convenes next
Monday. The criminal docket in this
county has been exceedingly light for

this far eclipses all previous records.
One subpoena issued so far and court
but four days distant!

most all the human emotions were
faithfully and skillfully depicted, her
humorous character sketches being
particularly fine. = So. LOutS Globe

cipal and intermediate departments
finish their eight months term Friday
evening of this week, but the primary
owing to loss of time Oc-
casioned by the illness of Miss Fannie

week, and for that reason the closing
will not take place until
that date.

near Vineland last Thursday evening, |
