RIDGEDALE, Clinton District, Nov. g.
The school at this place taught by Mr..
j. f. Chips, begins to-day and it is
useless to say we will have a good
school, for Jockey as he is common
ly called, has taught with us six terms,
and has always given the best of salts
faction.
James Phillips, wife and children
were visiting at Will Faulkner's Sun
day.

G1adesville, where she will remain for
two weeks.
Miss LeoDa Hamilton was out few
days last week with paper in behalf
of Mrs. Annie Hawker, and we under

charitable act upon the part of the con-
tributors and they certainly will be re-
paid for their kindness.
Mr.. Hosea Brand and sister Mrs,
Brewer are visiting their sister, Sarah
McBee at this place.
Charles linn has finished the paint

Died, at her home near Ellington on
October 30, Mrs. John Howell. She
was daughter of Rawley Jacobs, and
leaves father, husband and nine chill
dren to mourn her loss, but they weep
not as those who have no hope, as Mrs.
Howell had been devoted Christian

understand has been a member ever
since. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. Williams, of Gainesville.
Mackey Chips, of Laurel Point, was
visiting at Ridgedale Wednesday.
G. q. Howell and mother were visit.
ing at Charley Hollands Sunday.
Miss Libbie Holt accompanied her
grandfather Mr. Hyman to his home in

L. J. Howell, who for the past few
days has been sick, we are glad to say

Hog cholera is still doing it's deadly
work in our neighborhood. David Shaw
has lost his entire lot of hogs, consisting
of about 90 head also Charles McBee
lost several mead. And on the King

they certainly will bring more than AZ

Those Funny College BOYS.

Knowing the horror with which the

student, several University of Penn
sylvania students started out to have
some fun with the bluecoats on THUS
day night. They purchased a barber
pole from q retiring tonsorial artist,
and Immediately upon getting posses.
sion of it dashed like mad along
Woodland avenue Just as they neared
Fortieth street, a burly bluecoat, see
ing a chance to make his reputation,
commanded the supposed thieves to
halt. Without being accused of any
thing they yelled in chorus: "We
didn't steal the pole. Indeed, We
didn't" This declaration naturally
caused the officer to think otherwise,
and with drawn club he marched them
off to the patrol box. After being
taken to the station house under pro-
test, they produced the receipt for the
barber pole and we're allowed their
liberty, much to the disgust of their
captor. Not being satisfied with the
success of their scheme thus far, the
froliesome students repeated their an
tics on Lancaster avenue, and were
again arrested, and proved their limo
cence as before. After performing the
same trick in other districts their
scheme was discovered by o police ser.
geant, who telephoned to all the sta
tions in West Philadelphia instruc.

1t may not be generally known that
Boston has the largest savings bank in
the United States, SO far as the num-
Der of open accounts are concerned,
although, of course, not as to the
amount OF money depotited. The
Boston Five Cent Savings Bank has
$4,000 separate accounts, and its
nearest competitor has 100, 900 Sc
parate accounts. This latter is known
as the Bank Of Savin. lew York.

now oil returned to their four four
per cent. interest rate. Savings bank
deposits are not quite up to last year
at this time, but there is no great
change. The laboring men of Boston

Reward Of Virtue.

The following story is related of a
gentleman who invited q number OF
Sunday-school children to a treat in
his beautiful grounds. Not the least
appreciated among the many good
things were the excellent Strawberries
and cream, of which there was q
plentiful supply.
Seeing how the children enjoyed
these, the good man, wishing to i'm
prove the occasion, addressed them:
"Well, boys" be said, 81 hope you
have thoroughly enjoyed your straw
berries and cream?"
"Yes, sir" was the reply, in lusty
chorus.
"But suppose" he continued. "that
instead of having been invited here
you had stolen over my garden wall
and helped yourself when no one was
looking, you would not have enjoyed
them half SO much, would you?"
mo, SIR" again replied the chorus.
"And why not?' queried their bene-
factor.
To this question there was no i'm
mediate response, the boys being OPP
parently shy OF giving any reason. At
length, however, q little ugchiu, rather
holder than tho rest, plpsd out:

There is nothing make -believe about
the tests which the bicycle is receiv.
ing in the United States army. Eight
men have recently ridden from Fort
Missoula to Helena, a distance of 100
miles, mainly yer rough and noun
famous country, in the space of
twenty-five days. Lieutenant Moss
was in command Of the party, and it
is in his opinion that the trip has de.
monstrated the availability of the
bicycle in such rough usuage as it is
bound to have if adopted for use in
our Western country. The soldiers
were obliged to carry their camp
equipment and rations, as well as their
weapons and ammunition, besides ex.
ira tires and parts Of the machines on
which they travelled. No such test of
bicycles has vel been made before,
and it speaks volumes for the material
and manner of their construction that
they stood up so well.

The Greatest Catfish Market,

"Philalelphia is the greatest catfish
market in the world" said Mr.. L. Fl.
Cogswell at the Eleventh street wharf
last Tuesday, Two co!orei men were
busily engaged ~beheading and skin
ming a big 70 of big catfish. They
were remarkably adept in the opera
ton. While one, armed with q sharp
knife, would cut off the head OF a fish
and slit it open, the other would pick
up the fish so treated and with a pair
of nippers catch the skin deity and
pull it of. A Star reporter was watch
ing the interesting operation and
asked Mr.. Cogswell where he found
the demand for such a lot of catfish.
eve dispose of O very large number
of the fish in this city, but when we
have a surplus supply we ship it direct
to Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the
greatest catfish market in the world.
In the districts inhabited largely by
the poor vendors so about the streets
with buckets on their heads selling
the fish, and their cry is somewhat
similar to the familiar coal which we
hear SO frequently in Washington in
neighborhoods similarly populated.
Catfish are cooked in a variety of wayI
but made into a chowder is the moI
popular form in which they are served.
Nothing is more irritable than q w2ll
prepared catfish chowapr, and a great
many people prefer a es.owder made
from the heads alone. Yea will notice
that those two colored mIae who are
cleaning the fish preserve adsss-=5er
of the largest heads. They have regu-
lar customers for the heads, which
they will string in punches andsell for
probably as much as the same number
of fish would bring.
Eyes" continued Mr.. Cogswell,
s'those two fellows are very expert at
SHINING catfish. The best points in
the vicinity Of Washington for catch.
ing catfish are at Colonial Beach and
Matthias Point. The fall season in the
fishing business is now open. The
varieties that will be handled are rock
fish and white perch, both of which
are very large and very plentiful this
year. Any surplus that we have above
the home demand in these varieties is
shipped in ice to New York and Phila.
delphia, but catfish are only shipped
to the latter Washingto Star.

The signal Of a distant Hand.
The leaf is light, the bud is out,
Floods OF May colors float about.
The pulse leaps high, the heart is young,
The sweetest chimes are yet unrung,

And, struggling with the c%offlh-lid,
Hopes, dreams, and joys and happy tears
