Il was IN an Indiana hamlet when they
had a county election three or four years
ago" said the drummer land I got up
early expecting to see some excitement
There were three or four men around the
hotel, but none of them mentioned the

I hung around for two hours, but no one
came to vote. At length one Of the clerks
asked me if I didn't want to vote. and
when l replied that I was not a citizen Of
the state he sat down with a sigh.
Il went back to the tavern for dinner.

OF milk from to 10 cents per quart,

THE BENTON SEMINARY.

The Benton Seminary is now in
fine condition for the opening Of
school in September, the painting
and other improvements being
finished. Really, it don't look like
the same building.
The faculty will consist of w. III.
Gingles and B. d. johnson, prin-
cipals; j. M. Lockhart, business
department; Mrs. Lois Woods,
primary department, and Miss Ola
Mcdaniel and Miss Halle Whit
field, elocution and music.
With this able and experienced
corps of teachers and the people
a unit on the school question, we
predict most successful year for
the Benton Seminary. Many are
already making arrangements to
come to Camden, and houses are
in great, demand.
The valuation of property in
Camden has more than doubled in
the past two years, while the en-
rollment in Benton Seminary last
year was more than double that Of
three years ago. What town in
West Tennessee has made such
progress.
Let MS all continue to pull to-
gether in home and school affairs,
and there still awaits us better
things in the future.
