Drams at Mappsburg.

Mr.. Editor:-I considered myself
fortunate in being able to attend the
drama, "The Deacon" held in the
new hall at Mappsburg on Monday
eveLing last, and | wish to congratu
late the young ladies and gentlemen,
through your excellent paper, who
filed their parts so un usually well
and with such great skill and marked
intelligence. For about two hours
the large audience was held almost
spellbound, and seemed reluctant for
the play to close.
| consider it by far the best enter
tainment the writer has ever witness
ed on the Shore; and it would be well
received by any city audience.
This drama should be repeated
through the county, and if 80 the
lublic should not fail to attend.

Public School of Drummondtown.

We are pleased TO announce thai
the Public School of Drummond' own
is now getting, 10 some measure
rounded into shape. The system OF
uniform grading, as adopted for the
county schools, has been applied
throughout and seems to be working
nicely. Such difficulties as would
naturally be expected to arise, in se'
curing a uniform system OF classifi
cation of scholars and textbooks, are
gradually disappearing and 1t Ia
hoped, that the system adopted, will
save much loss of time to the pupils,
together with a general saving OF
expense to the community.
That there may be no misconcep-
ton relative to the terms OF the
tuition charges, the School Board
wishes 1t announced, that there will
be no charge for scholars In the first
seven grades, embr acing primary,
intermediate and grammar grades,
during the regular school session. 10
case pupils should wish to remain 10
school after that term has expired,
they will be expected to pay tuition
at the rate of 50 cents per month In
the primary and intermediate grades
and 81. 90 per month in the grammar
grades. A charge Of $50 per month
is made to students In the High
School VIII, TX and X grades) dur
ing the entire year. The regular
public school session will be for a
period of six months while that OF
the High school will be for nine
months.
The total enrolment OF the school
has been increased from about fifty
to near seventy five pupils, during
the past two weeks Most OF this in
crease has been In the lower grades
but indications point to a cores
pondipg increase in the upper grades
within the next few weeks. All that
il needed to make the school of this
town as good as any in the county,
is the earnest effort, on the part of the
teachers and off ,ials, backed by the
hearty support and operation of
the patrons.

In Mem0rlam.

There are events 10 our liveo,
which when they take place. though
we NAV have been expecting them
for weeks, yea, even months. are still
shock to US when they occur. Such
was the case when our dear mother,
MS. Mary L. Young. passed away
August Goth, 1904, aged "a years
Notwithstanding the fact that she
Is better off, and that she will suffer
no more, still our hearts seem to be
crushed. There is a vacancy in our
lives that cannot be filled. We long
for one more glimpse OF her sweet
face, and to hear her utter again each
name az of old. For six months she
had been a great sufferer. Many
times, during her illness, we have sat
by her bedside expecting the Mes
senger" to summon her home every
moment; but God was good. The
death Angel passed on and left her
with us yet little longer.
When she was taken worse, we
hoped she might still be spared to US,
but God knew best, His will be done.
He took her TO be with Himself, max
ing another link in the chain that
binds US TO heaven. God grant that
we may each one meet her Ia that
md where there shall be no more
partiDgs forever.
"Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take
thy rest,
Lay down thy head upon thy Saw
ior's breast;
We loved thee well, but Jesus loved
thee best,
Farewell, good nj INT, good night"

Farewell, good nj INT, good night"
Her children.
10 memory of my loving husband,
Fitchue Miller. who died Nav 2lst,
1904, aged 40 years, 6 months,25 days.
Oh, how hard We tried to save him,
But our care was all In vain,
Angels came and took him from US,
He is with the Saviour free from
pain.
When the angels brought the mes
sage,
That my darling husband had to
go,
None but mothers who had lost them,
Can our grief and sorrow know.
All Is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hea ts to-day,
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
He has left all weeping and sad,
His daily loss to mourn,
No one can fill his PHI
Except Jesus and Jesus alone.
Dear Fitchue sleep on so free from
all pain,
Awake him not sweet spirit to suf-
fer again,
he sIumbered so soundly, Oh let him
sleep on,
His sickness is ended. His trouble
Is gone.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Our griefs too deep to tell.
Oh Father make our journey short,
That we may with him dwell.
BY his wife.
In memory OF our dear sister, Mrs.
Bette Lee Moore. who fell asleep In
Jesus, August 18th, 1904, aged "a
years.
She had been great sufferer for
years. She leaves two small children,
an aged mother, three sisters and
three brothers to mourn their loss.
May our loss be her eternal gain.
Our dear sister is dead, the Lord
hath given her rest from her sorrows
and sufferings. The Savior has wiped
all tears from her eyes and babe her
come home.
Goodbye, dear sister, sad goodbye,
Thy pains and sufferings are over,
May each of US strive to meet her,
On the Heavenly shore.
Well never say goodbye in Heaven,
Well never say goodbye,
For in that land Of joy and song,
Well never say goodbye.
BY her loving sister,
Mrs. Mamie E. Smith.

DOCS AND PONIES
And Other Features That Hake the
 Gentry Show Famous.

The Gentry dog and pony show has come and gone and was all that the advance notices called for; all that could De found in any country in the line of educated animals. The show began with the big parade at Il o'clock which was the longest and most spec tacular of any trained animal show parade that has yet been seen in this city. In fact the Gentry aggregat tioE is treading very closely on the heels of the big modern circus for in these days it even boasts of having a steam call- Ope, which according to time honored custom is looked for only with the big circus and mena gerie.
 Very good audiences attended both the afternoon and evening perform ances, for the weather was delightful and the tricks of the trained animals are always worth going to see
 But the caEiOpe was not the only cir GUS feature, for aside from the animal tricks the performance includes a group Of Japanese athletes that can be equalled by the performers of few if any circuses. The trained horses were, as always, interesting and the amount of human knowledge that can be taught the equine only demonstrate les the high quality of his morse sense tAN -' ECA-AG ENAA AsDdAgr AAlE Eillalla-L horse in the world, so far as known. and which weighed but 13 pounds at birth, was the favorite with everybody for he looked like a real live toy Fur ther interest was found in him when a clown in a horse trading stunt brought the little fellow into the ring in a grip sack and at the proper time exposed him to the view of the au- dience which was pleasantly surprised. It would be impossible to enumerate all the features of the show, but some mention should be made of the after piece" or what would be called a con cert were it in a circus. In this per formance there are a couple of mon keys that hold the record. They run a bicycle race, do some trapeze work and best of all give a barber shop scene that is so realistic it makes the men in the audience .shudder. This performance closes with the looping of the loop in a little automobile. by a diminutive monk who has more nerve than most of human kind.
