GA Summer Vaudeville" for the ben
eft of the Confederate Monument Fund
ofMusic Laurel on Tuesday, Sept 5, 1899,
in which the society and fashionable set
of Baltimore, Washington and Laurel
will take prominent parts. Tickets are
on sale at the Laurel Pharmacy and all
who desire to attend will do well in
purchasing their tickets now. Specially
engraved invitations to the dance that
follows the performance have been fur
nished by Cushing & Co., of Baltimore,
and novel programmes for the dance will be
furnished by kervand & Co, of Washing
ton. Our thanks are due to the COM
mittce of arrangements for compliment
tary tickets.
We are authorized to say, and we take
much pleasure IN doing so, that the action
of the School Board last week in provid-
ing an assistant examiner, making him at
the same time fulfill the duty of dstribut-
ing the free books, will not in any way
be an additional drain upon the school
fund The small additional cost for the
services of the two officials will be pro-
vided for, as allowed under the law, out
of the free school fund, and while the
efficiency of the schools must be greatly
increased, the cost to the taxpayers will
not be greater, and the public will have
the benefit of the labor of two faithful and
experienced officials. An examination
into the matter will convince anyone that
the School Board has act ed wisely.
