Ocala's popular young barber, Mr.
Chester Fort, was at Sunday school at

We learn that Capt. J. B. Martin
will move to Oklawaha this week. We
very much regret to have them leave
our vicinity. Mrs. Martin, with her
pleasant, genial manner, has won the
hearts of all who have met her. She
is expecting soon to have a nephew
and niece from South Carolina to ar
rive and visit her. Our young people
will be pleased to welcome them to
the Land of Flowers. and we are quite
sure they will enjoy our delightful eli
mate.
Our teacher, Miss Bishop. will give
an entertainment at the close of her
school and we are anticipating the
event with much pleasure.
We fear the recent cold has killed
the early peaches and plums, as many
of the trees were in full bloom.

THE existence of Chinese hop joints is getting to be common talk in Clifton of late. That they exist in the lower apartments of the Chinese business houses or restaurants there is little doubt. It will be remember ed that a raid was made on these joints several years ago and for a time this evil was checked. A num- Der of the long dreamy pipes were gathered in and the proprietors of the houses prosecuted. This same program should be carried out again as the smoking of hop and Chinese dope is not only indulged in by the Chinamen,. but it is reported that q number of other people are "trying' it. An investigation should be made at once and if these reports are true, these joints should be raided and cleaned out.

This good work will be continued for the next term at least as the school boards have wisely reelected practically all of the old teachers.

First Commencement Exercises Clifton

The opera house was crowded to overfowing last Saturday evening on account of the first commencement exercises of the Clifton Union High School. The high school students also took part in the exercises in addition to the leading subjects rendered bv the graduating class, which consisted ot the Misses Mary Lilies, Mary Ter rell and Henrietta Martin. The hs- tory of Clifton rendered by Miss Mary Lilies was an interesting paper and contained much early history which very few of the new corners knew anything abouta It was enjoyed by all who were present. The class history and prophecy, rendered by Miss Terrell was also we'll rendered and consisted of a long prophecy of original composition; displaying a great deal of wit and humor upon the other members of the graduati class, as well as the teachers. Miss Henrietta Martin delivered the vale diCtory remarks. which were enjoyed by the audience. The graduating class were dressed in white with gold rib bon pinned to the left breast, and other girl members of the high school were dressed in white, which pre- sented a most beautiful sight. The graduating class also received a num- Der of most valuable presents from their many friends.
 Olaf Halverson, principal of the high school since its organization and who has labored unceasingly for its success and advancement, was also highly complimented by the gradua- ting class for his services. Miss Holmsley his assistant, who has also done much for the welfare of the high school was equally reme m bered by the class.
 pr. K. c. Babcock, president of the University of Arisona, delivered most interesting address, his subject being "Higher Education and Citi- zenship." He is d fluent speaker and kept the audience interested for nearly an hour. He advanced new ideas in the educational line and clearly pictured the qualifications of higher citizenship.
 The hall was beautifully decorated with old glory and the stage was ar ranged in gold and white presenting a most pleasing and appropriate ap- pearance. Electric lights were also arranged representing Clifton Union High School 1908. These were on the back of the stage. Hanging overhead was the motto of the class, Vitae non schOlae."
 The Morenci high school also at tended the commencement in a body.
