GIVE FINE CONCERT
Dixie Jubilee Singers Will Appear
at WOOdman Hall Next Mon
day Night.

Monday, March 2, the Dixie Jubilee
Singers will give an entertainment in
Dallas, under the auspices of the Dal-
las Public School, the proceeds to be
used to secure new books and fixtures
for the Public School Library. This
will be the first date the Dixie Jubilee
Singers have filled in Dallas during
the present season, although they
have played successful engagements
in the two previous years.
Although to those who have heard
them sing this company needs no
introduction, it is well to distinguish
them from the Tennessee Jubilee
Singers, who filled date in Dallas a
short time ago. The Dixie Company
differs from the Tennessee Singers in
every respect and their program is OF
a distinctly higher quality, and is rem
dered by voices trained we'll nigh to
perfection in the best schools of the
United States.
Since they sang in Dallas last year,
another member has been added to the
troupe making the double quartette
complete. Otherwise the personnel of
the company will remain the same.
New songs have been added to their
repertory, and Mr.. Williams, the
manager, promises finer program
of choruees, quartettes, and solos than
they have ever before offered to the
music loving public.

TEACHERS ARE TAUGHT
County Institute at independence
Largely Attended and Full
of Interest.

About 40 teachers from different
districts of Polk County attended the
Teachers institute held at Indepen-
dence, Saturday. This meeting took
the place OF the School Convention
which was to have been held at Airlie
on that date, but was postponed on
account Of the damaged roads and
bridges, making travel to that place
difficult.
The lectures on Language and
Composition" by r. F. Robinson,
Superintendent of the Schools Of
Multnomah County, were especially
fine, and those on "Grammar and
Arithmetic" by Professor L. r.
Traver, OF the Training Department
at Monmouth, were of valuable prac-
tical benefit. Able addresses on edu-
cational subjects were delivered by
Miss Loretta Smith and Mrs. Pennel
both of Monmouth, and an excellent
program was rendered by the public
school pupils of Independence. Music
for the occasion was furnished by the
Normal Faculty Quartette.
All the Dallas public school teach
ers who were present at this Institute
report a most pleasant and profitable
day.

as the result Of swallowing a quantity

By Tommy Barker With a Mama On
-Amaziah GO0kIn Claims. His
Father Lost Il. Bigs Barker
& Amaziah Fit & Fit

Little Tommy Barker, while fishing
up Snake Criok tothe- day came acrosst
turtle which was about a loot acrosst
the back, and must Of weighed IN the
naborhood Of Is lbs. Tommy, he
thought ne would Ike 70 have the tur-
tle for a pet, 50 he lugged It home, and
It IS a wonder he didn't get q leg OF
. arm BIT often him while doing 50, too
Bige Barker, Tonmy's dad. discovered
on the shell OF the turtle the follering:
"Amaziah Cookin, 1S48,' which had evi-
IDENTIFY been cut on the turtle with =
pen knife 90 years ago BY old Amaziah
Gooboin, who has been dead and gone
for 10 these many years. How old this
turtle IS nobody has no dee, but Bige
says he oalIdlates II might be 100 years
old Ike as not Bigc says he reclons
that II a person would live as long as
turtle, life would become alfred
tiresome
Amaziah Cookin. Jr, who is Arnaziah
Gookin, Sis son, heared about Bige
havin this old turtle with his fathers
name on i, 50 he called on BiSe and
said he guessed he'd lug that turtle
home and keep It for q ooorosity. Bige
told Amaziah that he guessed he
wouldn't do nothin Of the kind. being
as hts son Tommy had found the turtle
and he reci1oned Il belonged to him,
being as II had been handed down from
father TO son as you might say.
Amaziah started to pick up the turtle
which was IN the front yard, bat Bige
give him a push and then both men
clinched and rassled around all over
Mrs Barker's flower bed Finally Bige,
he tripped Amazizh Up, and then both
fell down 50 hard It nearly knocked
the wind outen EN- The ridiklus part
of the affair was that they landed on
top OF the turtle, wich made & grab
and caught Amaziah BY the ankle and
held on ike grim death. Amaziah thot
it was Bige vino was bitin him and hol-
lered Enough as loud as he could
hoIler. Then Bige let loose Of him, but
the turtle didn't and had to be pried
loose
Amaziah then started for home mad
der than d wet hen He told Bige TO
keep the dinged ole turtle, and he hoped
It would take a couple Of fingers of
for Bige before he got through with it.

We feel ike kickin ourself this
week when we reflected how hard
drove up we have been for subieckts
/ to write editorials about Of late. and
never oncet thought 10 write a red
hot editorial on dog days and hy-
derfobia- Here August has went
and gone, and It Is now too late to
write a editorial on this subieckt
. this year, but we are agoing TO write
! L anyhow 50 as 70 take time BY the
/ forelock rather than take a chanel
OF forgettin It next year. While
this editorial is q little late, our
host Of subscribers can file II away
for future reference
So far as we have been able to
ascertain at this writing, no dogs in
Bingville went mad during the
month Of August and nobody was
bit. This IS somethin to be thank
ful for The dog populashion is
more numerous than it ought to
be. We have more dogs in
this town than We have any good
use for, and if they continue to in
crease in numbers, It won't be many
years until We have more dogs than
We have people.
It has got so that a person cant
hardly walk down Main street any
more without steppin on a dogs
head and standin a good show OF
havin a chunk took out of the calf
.of his leg Hank Dewberry is
praps the greatest dog fancicr we
have. Hank allus has any where
from 2 to II dogs on hand Of all
breeds, descriptions and seckses for
sale or to swop. II Hank had in
vested his time and money in real
estate instid of in dogs, the chances
is he would now be a rich man in
std Of not having enough loose
change to keep hisself in terbacker.
While we are speaking of dogs
let Us also discuss cats. There is
at present nearly as many cats as
dogs in Bingville. As 4 result the
nights is made heedius, and people
who want TO sleep are kept awake
and haft 10 60 out next morning
and gather up ali their old shoes
and other household furniture which
they have throwd at cats during
|tempory fits of anger and insanity.
Let rs do something to eradicate
dogs and cats in Bingville. Let
wheever's business It is to leok after
this do So at enoet.
