CENTRAL SCHOOL
. SIXTH GRADE

Parents are cordially invited
to attend these exercises on the
afternoon of the 2lst.
We had q valentine box and
the last period of the day was
very pleasantly spent in receiv-
ing valentines distributed by the
girls and boys whom we appoint
ed mail carriers.
Some of the children are in
clined to grumble over the
amount of work and one little
fellow was heard to remark
Teachers must think we are
made of rubber"
Preparations for Washington 8
birthday are being made and the
tale of the little Latch
ct told in cong and story will, it
is to be hoped, have a moral in
f1uence over the youths OF Ell
Paso.
To incite an interest III spelling
we have been having weekly
contests in spelling. the boys
against the girls. Last week the
boys gained the victory but this
week the girls redeemed them
selves. The score was 16 to IL
in favor of the girls.
The attendance for the last
two months has not been good as
several have been absent on &C
count of measles. Tardiness,
however. has diminished and we
hope soon to gain the half holt
day promised to the rooms hsv-
ing no tardies for the month.

Mr.. Mscrum, late of Pretoria, has
been in town, but he didn't have any

There is general impression that
maybe the reason he doesn't talk is
that he has nothing to say.

There ia q naval lieutenant named

Lieutenant Calkins says there weren't

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The pro-

Nicaragua canal has been the focus Of
interest all week. Our British cousins
may not have good idea of field
strategy-the Beer war tends to prove
they havn't-but their diplomatic
strategy is frEt-class. They have
mausged to get the administration to
repeat Mr.. Cleveland's error in re-

from paralysis. aged rs. His first wife
was MISS Efinger and his second, who

Lexington was visited by dust
storm Monday evening and for short
time the town was so thicNy enveloped
in dust that objects across the street
were hardly visible, The street sprink-
Ter has been withdrawn owing to q
scarcity of water.

IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS.

The msnufac turers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. Il,
Fletcher. This has been necessitated
by reason of pirates counterfeiting the
Castoria trade mark. This counter
feiting is crime not only against the
propr,etorS of Castoria, but against the
growing generation. All persons should
be careful 10 see that Castoria bears
the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher, II

under whose supervision 1t has been
manufactured continuously for over
thirty years.-Phi lelphia Bulletin.

WITHIN TWENTY MILES
OF CHINA'S CAPITAL

The latest news from the front in
China is contained in a dispatch via
London of the 18th instant as follows :
A correspondent of this association
at Shanghai wires under today's date
that August 1lth, at noon, the allies
were reported within twenty miles Of
Ptkin.
A special dispatch from Che Foo
says q general advance Of allies from
Tien Tsln began August Sth. 1t is
believed there that Pekin will be
reached by August 18th.
1t would not be surprising if the
allies are today ne lring the gates OF
Ptkin. With the route cleared by the
advance column seven days would not
be too short for foreign army to reach
the capital.
Few details are allowed to get past
the censors at Tien Tsin and all the
plans o. the alliel leaders are kept
secret.

Under the above heading Editor
Bailie of the Buena Vista Advocate
gives his observations OF Rockbridge
court Cay under the dry regime as
follows:
A marked contrast was noted in Lex
ington between the court-day of Mon
day last and that of Monday year
ago, not only upon the street but in
the stores. During the entire day we
did not see single man under the in
fluence of whiskey, but all appeared
busy in transaction with the merchants
of the town. Many dollars that have
heretofore gone into the saloon, were
on this occasion put into dry goods,
shoes, ets., beneftting the purchaser,
his family, the merchant, the town and
the county.
Several old soakS, however, seated
themselves close up to the doors OF the
old taverns as if to receive some inspi-
ration from the recollections OF their
old-t;me haunts.
We do not know why the citizens
have not made some move to towards
removing the beer and whiskey signs
from the buildings formerly used for
saloons.
They stand out conspicuous and
entirely out of place, and are in the
most prominent portions of the city.
And too, it is somewhat exasperating
to the visitor, hot as pepper, and mean
with tire and dust to look up and read
"Cool Book Beer" and there be no
beer. This alone creates thirst and
sometimes an oath.
The good people of Lexington should
haul down the signs.

The Legislature will be called to

yember. 1t will provide for the held
ing of tho Constitutional Convention
designate the time aad place of meet
ing and fix the basis of representation,
says the Richmond Times. The con-
vention will be held next wintea and
its work will probably be submitted
to the people for thel approval or re-
lection at q special election to be held
in next May. The constitution, if
accepted, will no doubt go into effect
at once. The convention may make
the Governor eligible to serve two sue
cessive terms. Should this be done
Governor Tyler could succeed himself.
The convention of the Democrats to
nominate candidate will be held about
next August. 1t is within the range
of possibilities that Governor Tyler
will be q candidate to succeed himself.
