Lilly Dale School Closes.

Saturday, Jan. 26, was a gala
day in the history of district AZ
in old Crittenden. for on that day
closed one of the most successful
schools that has ever been taught
in this district.
Despite the mud, rain and sleet
patrons and friends began to ar
rive at an early hour, and in due
time the house was filled almost to
oyerhowing. Whom all we're com.
fortably seated surprise awaited
the scholars basket filed with
candy, and after this another one
for the visitors. After the bask
cts had been passed and contents
noted with care, came the distrib-
uting of prizes to those who had
secured the most head marks in
their respective classes.
The prizes were then awarded as
follows:
May and Elva Jacobs, Wreatha'
Brown, Eckles Rorer, Victor and
Allen Young.
When this was done. dinner was
called andsa sumptuous table was
spread, loaded with the sweets and
fat of the land, TO which all were
invited to partake. Dinner now
over, the Woodall bank appeared
on the scene and rendered some
most delightful music.
Presently the windows we're dar-
xened, the lamps we're lighted,
and an amusing and instructive
exhibition was given by the school
REGULATIONS, speeches, dialogues,
md dialogues were all on tap and
he audience was highly delighted. |
the day was dark and
lreary outside, yet on the inside
light, JOY and gladness reigned SUI
Dreme.
Near the close of the day the
eacher, Mr.. Perry M. Woodall, |
delivered a beautiful grafton, and
which was we'll received and loud
y cheered by all.
Then came the close, and amid
warm hand shakes and pleasant
arewells we all took our leave,
and now we ask,for the teacher

STANDING OF L

The Wheeling players appeared to
have imbibed the Carnival spirit yester-
day. They entered into the play with
out much earnestness, and booted the
ball around the diamond in o merry
fashion. Rex and the court jester were
in the grand stand. and some of the
Nailers gave exhibitions which made
the lester look like a dirty deuce In a
well-worn deck. Never were such high
links cut on the field at the Ohio street
park. Prince Stupidity ruled.
or course, the umpire robbed us, ana
the sur was in the eyes of the Wheel
ing boys. and they were only sparring
for points while Fort Wayne was hitting
hard enough to hurt. Besides, the VS.
itors are big fellows. and 1t was a shame
to bully our boys.

They will do better to-day. as a matter
of course. The odds are on Wheeling,
for the boys have determined TO brace
I'D and take the last of the series from
Fort Wayne. Kenna will probably twirl
for the Nailers. and Kenna Is a name
the fans c~onjure with. The most I'M
fortunate feature of 1t all was that such
a humiliating defeat was given in the
presence of such a large crowd. More
han 1000 were present. II the game
had gone the other way, 1t would have
berotten a bunch of 'rooters.
Fort Wayne landed on Ames In the
second inning, and after thai he was
easy picking. Babb's home run drive
in the sixth. with the bases filed. was a
heart-preaker. The triples by "Doggie'

some kind of an assault at the hands
of a negro last night. She was sitting
on the porch waiting for her husband
to come home, when she saw a dark
object moving in an alley which passed
her home. She called and a negro man
fed from her voice. A few minutes
later she thought she saw a big dog in
the alley, but when she spoke again the
same negro jumped to his feet n
sprang at her. He seized her, but her
cries aroused the n%eighbors and the
negro escaped. Later another negro
was seen prowling around the anne al
ley and he was arrested. but as there
was no charge against him he was re-
leased.
