A few miles south of Abbeville
unknown parties threw rocks into
the South bound passenger train
Monday night, breaking the coach
windows and creating consider
able excitement among the pas
sengers. The train was stopped
and the railroad defective, aided
by others, attempted to discover
the hoodlums, but without sue
cess. 1t is needless to say that
should the perpetrators of such a
dangerous .'joke" be identified
the severest punishment should
be meted out.
An alarm of fire from the Uni
versity campus, at an early hour
Monday night, caused great ex-
! tement in our town. The Ok
ford Fire Company started with
the hose, but were informed. tina
they were ''rubbers'' before
reaching the scene of the ''joke.'
Such sportive diversions may bt
very enjoyable to the young nier
who originate them, but are some
what annoying to those who rul
themselves out of breath to Civ
aid, and find the fire a hoax
Like the boy who cried wolf
when no wolf was there, our fir
jokers may give false alarms un
til when help is needed, no on
will come.

difficult classical selections
! we'll as the performances by tn
beginners were rendered with a
i, ease and accuracy that was wor
derful. VISITOR.
