Franklin Academy Closes.

The examinations at Franklin
Academy have been concluded and
the school closed Thursday. Owing
10 the crowded condition of the Acad-
emy the chapel was last year con-
yerted into recitation rooms, and
there was no place TO hold large
gathering OF the people This, coup
led with the further fact that the
eleventh grade, which constitutes the
graduating class, was not included
in the curriculum this year, caused
the faculty TO decide not to have any
commencement exercises, and the
pupils were quietly dismissed with
ont public exercises of any character.
The annual meeting of the board
Of public school trustees was called
for the purpose of electing teachers
for the ensuing year. Two members
Of the board, Messrs. W. C. Gunter
and w. S. Newby, were, however, alb
sent from the city, so it was impossi-
BILE TO secure a quorum, and no meet
ing was held.

Fort Springs Dots.

Well, well, June has come at last,
with its beautiful sunshine, and moth
ing could be any more encouraging
dry weather, as the grass is growing
fast, and their cotton would soon be
ruined if there was not a change in
the weather. The people of this vi
cinity have had the blues more than
ever before on account of so much
rain. In every field you pass you
will see the girls and boys pulling
the hoe 10 beat the band, and you
may look out for clean cotton patches
from now on.
The singing at For1 Springs was
simply fine, and Notwithstanding the
gloomy day, large crowd was pres
ent. All report having a fine time
There was plenty of fine music and
singing, and a delicious dinner was
served on the ground. Misses Nc
Cullough and Gaukman rendered the
instrumental music. There will be
another singing on the first Sunday
in June next year.
We are sorry to note that Mr.. d.
F. Holcomb was on the sick list the
past week, and wish for him a speedy
recovery.
Mr.. L. NJ. Harris had the misfor-
tune last week, while chopping wood,
TO cut his foot very badly, but is
getting along very nicely.
Well, people are too busy TO visit
this week, and therefore the news is
somewhat scarce, so we will desist
for the present. Perhaps we will
come again some time if this doesn t
go into the waste basket.

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
BILE. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantIy failing to cure with the local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh TO be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address

FIRST REGATTA

Was Begun This Afternoon in
Philadelphia Is a Big
Affair.

Philadelphia. Pa, May 25.-When

gatta of the American Rowing asso-

Schuylkill river a large crowd of row.
ing enthusiasts lined the banks and
occupied every point of vantage on
the cliffs and at the finish line.
Every indication pointed to the con-
tests being the most successful ever
pulled off by the association. In the
various events the picked crews of
Yale, Cornell, Pennsylvania and other
big colleges, together with represen-
tatives of the leading boat clubs of
New York. Brooklyn, Washington,
Baltimore and Philadelphia, will con-
test for honors. Without question the
schedule contains the names of the
best rowing talent in the United
States. 1t is the first big regatta of
the year. and this fact explains the
large number of entries and the en-
thusiasm being manifested. All the
races are for one mile $50 yards
straigtaway. Probably the most in
terest is being shown in the race for
junior college eighths.
Twelve races are on the program
and it will be late in the afternoon
before the final event is decided. The
twelve events are scheduled as fol-
lows:
First single SOULS, for the Farragut
