Tho close was dull and lower and the
market merely eased a little on the
poor showing of the bank statement with

There was some activity and strength
in Chattanooga issues on tho earnings,

GREAT TALES OF VACATION

The public and parochiai schools
opened today and just before school
hours and atSnoon the streets underwent
change from their appearance at those
hours during the last few months. They
swarmed with children in neat white,
pink and other colored frocks and colored
headgear; boys wearing knickerbockers,
and well dressed teachers bound for the
various schools The shouts and peals of
laughter that arose from the children
showed they were delighted to get back
to their pleasant classrooms and associ-
ations from which they had been separ-
ated for two long months All of them
looked healthy, and the tan of many of
their faces showed that large percen-
tage had visited the country seat and
sea shore.
So far as could be learned at noon all
the schools including the eleven tempor-
ary schools were filled. Superjntsadent
