J.C. Taylor arrived home, Fri
day, from Las Vegas, New Mexico,

We regret to state that he has not
been benefited by his sojourn in
the South.
We desire to call attention to the
ad. of Prof. G.. Tailiandier, which

The professor undoubtedly has
very rare bargains for those who
contemplate purchasing piano.

convention here last week were

The student dance at the Armory,
Thursday evening was a very
pleasing affair. The Salem orches-
ira furnished the music and it was
very satisfactory. Prof Harry
Beard, director of the OAC band,
played with the Salem musicians
on this occasion.
The New Orleans Colored Con-
cert Co. appeared in the local opera
house Friday evening to good
sized audience. The entertain
ment is about on par with former
engagements played in this city
by the same people. The general
verdict of those attending the show
was favorable, but no great enthu-
siasm was evinced.

Miss Josie Benham who recently
had limb broken by a fall from
her horse while out riding, is re-
covering as rapidly as could be ex-
pected. The limb is now i'll a
plaster cast, although for some
time after the accident there was
much difficulty in treating tue
injury owing to the splintered
boue and decorations of the muscles
caused by it. Miss Benham lives
near Bellefountain.
