WHILE the market Is overstocked
with typewriter girls, girl stepograph-
ers, saleswomen and seamstresses,
there is a scarcity Of competent wom-
en- teachers. The reasons for such
scarcity are not far to seek. The oc-
cupation of teaching is most wear
ing one; and the pay of women teach
ers, especially in the most important
department of primary instruction, is
not much better than the pay of a
cook.
THE river men are hoping that the
rain will give them enough water to
get their coal to market For months
the barges have lain in the river load
ed and unable to get water enough to
float them down the river. Thous-
ands of dollars have been lost by this
delay and the men who have their
money tied up want to see that rains
descend and the floods come if not for
forty days then long enough to give
them stage of barge water.
IT is a wonder with some people
what becomes of all the groceries
and other goods that are brought
here. 1t is easy enough. The PEG.
pie here use them. While there are
twenty five groceries here there are
also five thousand people making an
average of two hundred people for
each grocery. Some of them render
bills monthly to their best customers
who always pay cash. Some of these
bills in even small families are quite
large, in some instances the groceries
alone average over $500 per capita
for each member including servants.

delightful occasions of the season,
amusement was provided by the
graceful hostesses to suit all tastes,

the game of word building, the prize
being carried off by Miss Flossie
Wood.
Mrs. Hirschman and Miss Moor

vocal solos and Miss Olive Pierce
elected much praise for her match

THE lumber for the eastern roadway

John Hunt has returned to Nor
gantown and will likely 90 into bus
mess again. The report that John
had decamped was the result of
some meddlesome gossips. He says
he had no idea of such move.
HUNTERS should remember that it
is lawful to kill but twelve quail in
one day. There is disposition to
kill even more than the law allows
even when the birds are plentiful and
this should be checked by the eager
hunters.

Poplar Alley widened.

The owners of the lots across the
divide back of the Presbyterian
graveyard have obtained seven feet
in addition to the width of Poplar
Alley which leads to the new addi-
tion and it will be made into first
class street. 1t is the intention to
pave the streets but this cannot be
done this fall on account of the
scarcity of brick. The improvement
will do a great deal toward making
the new addition popular one.

Baptist Social.

The Young Peoples Union of the
Baptist church gave social on Sat
urnay evening which was attended by
an immense crowd. Refreshments
were served by the young ladies. The
features of the evening were guessing
contests. One of these was to guess
the names of authors well known to
the public.
Another very novel plan was to
call some one out of the audience and
have them draw some kind of an ami
NAL on the blackboard. The rest
then proceeded to guess what was
Represented. A great deal of amuse-
ment was occasioned by this.

A Novel Address.

The professor of Physics Thos. E.
Hodges, who is graduate of the uni
versity and now one of the most pro-
ficient members of the faculty deliver
ed an address before the Y. NJ @. A..
of the university yesterday evening.
His subject was Christian Magnetism,
and his method of treatment was very
unique. He held in his hand during
his talk small horse shoe magnet,
with which he performed a number of
experiments illustrating the different
phases of his subject. The address
was very impressive and rare treat
to those who heard it. Those who
are missing any of these meetings of
the Y. M. q. A. which are held every
Friday evening, are missing some
thing which will be hard for them to
make up.

Senator WILEY continues to i'm
prove and is gaining strength
steadily, although not as rapidly,
of course, as if he were younger
man. Dr. w. t. Wiley, who was
treating him, said, before he LETT for
Baltimore. that there was hardly
any doubt of his recovery, that there
was no disease, all his organs being
sound, but that his heart simply
got tired and threatened to quit.
That condition being corrected there
Is no reason why he will not soon be
as well and strong as before his i'll

NOT FOR PUBLICATION.
Shay Did not Write His Letter to be
ublished-Movements of the vari-
Gus Regiments.

The letter from John Shay to be
found in another column was not
written for publication but to a young
friend of his in the town. The letter
is an interesting one and will be read
by all of our readers who are anxious
to hear from the soldier boys who
have started on the long trip to the
east. The regiment is now in San
Francisco and will remain there but a
short time when it will start for the
Philippines They will probably be
in Manila by Christmas if they can
get started as soon as they expect to
get on board ship.
The Thirtieth has not yet reached
Manila or if it has we have not receiv
ed the intelligence TO that effect. 1t
has left Honolulu and is far on the
road. The 44th and 47th are also
regiments in which this place takes
an interest.
