LeakesViIIe School Notes.
RED BELL.

We are glad to see Fletcher Cou rt
ney back in school. Sickness caused
him to be out.
The Expression Class gave very
interesting program in their society
meeting Tuesday evening. The de
bate, Resolved: That Expression is
More Beneficial than Music, was
discussed very cleverly by Preston
Ferguson ON the affirmative and
Leonard Childs, Negative. 1t was
so ably and closely discussed that the
committee could not decide it, so it
was called off as tie. 'The Rising
of IT'S by john Colbert, was given
in most eloquent and impressive
style. The conundrums by Miss
Marisn Avera were rich, spicy and
full of good humor.
The instrumental solo by Miss
Jenner was unsteady artistic. Dru-
sic Ferguson gave splendid piece,
Gordon Rounsaviile recited good
selection, showing training and clever
Interpretation.
Miss Jessie Blair read a splendid
selection, Miss ARA Tow n d
gave very select reading in negro
dialect in a pleasing and cultured
way The hour from four to five was.
indeed pleasing amusing and profit
able.
Prof. Miller. our Principal gave
some humorous re ings on
til Chautauqua platform last
Friday night before vast audience.
From the hearty encores his work
made good. He appeared on the
program again Saturday night.
Misses Townsend and Jenner, with
good number of school pu-
pills went down 60 Chronicle Satur-
day to attend Chautauqua.
Dan Mcleod, who has been off on
the river for a few days is back at his
work. Gabriel Churchwell is again
in school after some days spent on
the river logging.
The Board of Trustees and patrons
of the school need to have a meeting
and elect teachers for the next ses-
sion. Prof Miller has several offers
before before him, but will give this
school preference, and will continue
his labors here if the people desire
his services, and will attend to schoo
affairs in time and in business-likt
way. Let thoughtful minds consid
Ter, for your school is the IMPOR
lTANT factor of the town. The people
are no doubt too progressive to al
| low such an institution which ha
done so much for the town and chill
dren to be retarded in its growth
| The school, through the instru
mentality of Prof. Miller. in the pas
two sessions, has sold stock nn'
made over expenses something lik
1890. 90 to be applied on desk an
Iother debts. A fair showing ism
lit?
Let every body pull together, an
; make the school better success i
the future than even the past tw
, years.

TODAY's MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago Jan. Observation-Disclosures
offerings of wheat from Argentina caused
a decline of 3sd to sd in the price of wheat
at Liverpool today and this in turn had
a depressing effect on the market here at
the opening. A number of the leading
commission houses were moderate sellers
and with only scattered demand sentiment
in the pit continued bearish the early part
of the day. Prices at the start We're Ac
to 1zc lower, May opening at 81. CTS to
S1-07es. After touching $L075s010724 the
price dropped back again TO $1.07ss.
The market became strong late in the
day on covering by shorts, May advancing
to S1.OS2sdI10S1z. The close was firm with
May UP nc at $10S7s.
CORN-Reports of light aeceptances of
corn in the country induced fairly active
buying of that grain by cash interests
which resulted in considerable firmness
following an easy opening. May sold up
to 612sQ6119c, after opening at 611sc.
The market rallied with wheat, May adj
vancing to 611zc. The close was firm with
May up ssc at 611zc.
OATS-The weakness of wheat inspired
some selling of oats by pit traders which
caused light declines in all deliveries.
Prices at the start were unchanged to &c
lower. Nav opening at 461ae.
PROVISIONS-Fair demand for pork by
commission houses had a bulIish effect on
provisions. but prices showed only slight
gains Initial quotations were 21zc lower

that the United States would have a
force in the eastern Mediterranean in
January holding the balance of power
in the event of naval Europe being di-
vided-a force capable of debating a
settlement. Although this may appear
a fancifu1 suggestion. the presence of
the strong fleet is a new phenomenon in
European affairs and is taken into ac-
count in expert discussion as having fu-
ture possibilities.
Ships go through under their own
steam. The speed is limited to six
miles an hour. BY using electric
lights many vessels pass through by
night The canal runs free from sea
to sea with a slight ebb and flow of
the tides, the course of an Egyptian
canal of five centuries before Christ.
Passage Costs SI5O,OOO.
Leave to go through the Suez canal
will cost the United States govern
ment with quarantine and other
duties, not far from s15O.0OO. The
regular tolls are $1.47 per ton. Brit
ish shipping companies are continual
ly complaining against this rate,
which they aver is unreasonable. The
Suez Canal company's rate of dividend
on 100000 capital has been from
"a to % per cent for number of
years.
The views which the officers and
men of the American fleet will have
in passing through the canal in part
will be splendid, and in part dull but,
always with vast historical back
ground. Suez in itself is a sordid,
dirty port, yet Mount Sinai rises on
the left and violet colored noun

cuttings run through some dreary ex-
panses of sand, but the way is varied
by lagoons and lakes Menzaleb is
1000 square miles in area, and
through it the channel is marked by
buoys. Flocks of pelicans, f1amingos
and herons feed in the marshes. The
Bitter lakes are the biblical waters

can terminal of the canal, with a
population of 10000. is almost wholly
a commercial growth, following the
