Jas. Will has added to his real estate
holdings by purchasing quarter sec
tion adjoining him on the east, of
Mrs. Elizabeth heller. About SO
acres is under the plow, the balance

the price which is said to have been
but little over $50 per acre.

The new Catholic church, of which
we made mention last week. is not so

that the foundation will be laid this

lions have been made, Mr.. L. Troendle
agreeing to contribute $500 and Mar

POLITICS ARE WARM.
The Municipal Campaign Draws Near to
lis close.

About he>only subject of converse
ton on the streets now is the mayor
atty contest. The other offices are be-
ing lost sight of in the three-cornered
fight for mayor. Matters are very
much mixed. One man will say that
everything is going Mr.. Meyers way,
another will say that Mr.. Petersen has
a sure thing, and third will be
equally confident that Mayor Currier
will be reelected.
Aid. Meyer this afternoon was a
visitor to the Republican headquarters
and was smilingly confident of success.
He had just received late information
that put him in good humor.
Everyone in the headquarters was
CHEEKY and Republican success seemed
to be in the air. There is no doubt
but that the Republicans have the best
organiza tion aud are doing the most
effective work. BY Monday night
there will be such Meyer sentiment
prevailing that it will sweep the city.
Aid. Petersen unfortunate inter
view in the Review before the conven-
tion was held is injuring him greatly.
AS plain Mr.. Petersen he advocated
the ope ming of the gates of the treas
ury and the spreading of the city
money abroad on the streets and else
where, and favored other reversals of
policy. Now that he wants votes,
as Candidate Petersen he declares that
he is in favor of continued prudence
in expenditure and further reduction
of the floating debt. The people are
asking which they are to believe, Mr..
Petersen the citizen or Mr.. Petersen
the candidate. They are also answer
ing the question by pointing to Mr..
'Petersen's record in the council, f
which he was vice president for a
time and a controlling spirit. Through
lavish expenditures and wastefulness,
a great floating debt of over $57, 900
was piled up on the backs of the tax
payers, on top of their other burdens.
Is it any wonder that Mr.. Petersen is
daily losing ground in his campaign
ing, and that the most desperate efforts
are being resorted to in order to pull
him through?
Policeman Morrow will retire from
the force Sunday night, if he carries
out his announced intention, although
he has not yet formally notified Mayor
Currier to this effect. He states that
he will pursue another calling, here

Public Debate BY the ThackSton'S

Those who enjoy a good entertain
ment were given treat on Monday
night in the spacious auditorium OF the
Moses Levi Memorial Institute. 1t was
the mid-spring public entertainment OF
the Thackston Literary Society, made
up of members from the higher classes
of the Institute and named in honor OF
| Prof. ThackstoD on account of his in
terest, efficiency and popularity. y
large audience was present, because
knowing the young folks who were to
furnish the program, it was safe to eX-
pect fine entertainment. The meet
ing was opened with prayer by Rev. w.
II. Mills, and Mr.. Dantzler Bradham
presided. Miss Ella Ridgeway acted
and Mr.. Samuel Cole filed the secre-
tary's place.
The first recitation was by Miss Har-
riet Harvin. who gave splendid rem
ditlon of Exit Carsons Wife"
Master Query Stukes read for the
great amusement OF the audience a
Sketch on ''The Bald-Headed Man"
An essay on "Queen Victoria" by
Miss Ethel Howle was gracefully read
and showed splendid preparation.
A speech of his own production on
"Our Nation and its Progress by Mas
ter B. Presley Barron was delivered
with much ease anG grace and exhibit
ed many marks of the born orator.
The debate, on the query, ''Resolved,
That Cuba Should Now Have Her
Freedom was the subject of much in
terest, because it involved a contest,
and as it was well known in the COM
munity who the young contestants were:
it was with great interest that the au-
dience watched as with critics eye
the manner in which the Affirmative
and negative acquitted themselves. 1t
would be unfair to discriminate IN des-
cribing the speeches Of these young
contestants, and in fact it would indeed
be hard to do. The affirmative side
of the question we.s admirably repre-
sented by Miss Pet Wilson and Mr.
Milton Weinberg, while Miss Sarah
Harvin and Mr.. John Breedin on the
negative equally as well combatted
every point and advanced some fine
argument why Cuba should not yet be
turned loose to take her chance in the
big family of nations of the world.
The Judges were Capt. w. c. Davis,
DR.. J. F. Geiger and Mr.. W. G. Du-
Rant, who were requested to make
their decision strictly upon the argu-
ment and merits Of the debate.
Captain LAWS announced the decl-
sion for the committee and beautifully
alluded to the many recollections OF his
own while in Cuba that the debate
had called TO mind, and after holding
the audience in suspense for a while
announced that while the committee
was not unanimous, yet a majority had
decided according to the law and the
evidence" or rather the argument,
that the fair Queen of the Antilles
should not yet be freed, which meant
a decision for the negative. Captain
Davis complimented all the participants
in the debate most highly.
The entertainment was without
prizes, except that Mr.. Isaac NJ. Loryea
had offered a handsome volume OF
poems to the yound lady on the winning
side, which went to Miss Sarah Harvln.
The editor was not present, owing to
instructions from his better-half to stay
home to mind the baby while she and
the rest of the tribe enjoyed being en-
tertained.
