THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The Primary election takes place
next Saturday. The office of sher-
iff is the most important one to be
filled. There are eight candidates
in the field for this Office, but the
campaign has been very quiet
one. About the only exciting feat
ure about it is the contest in the
Republican party for the election of
delegates to the state convention,
and for county committeeman.
A light vote is looked for through
out the county.
Instead of 900 ballots as men
toned by local paper, nearly 24,-
900 were printed, including all
kinds. The law requires twice as
many for each party as the vote
cast at the preceding fall election,
and one fourth as many specimens
as officials.

WILL HEAD MUSIC DEPARTMENT.

The Normal School is fortunate
in having secured the services of
Mrs. J. K. Miller as teacher of pia-
noforte and violin. She takes the
place of Miss Waldron who has so
acceptably filled the position Cor
past two years.
Mrs. Miller is pianist of much
more than usual ability. Her
playing is marked by accuracy and
expression, and she is undoubtedly
one of the finest performers in this
section. AS violinist she is also
an artist, and has filled engage
ments on the concert stage. Her
acquisition by the school is very
valuable one.

big audiences at both his afternoon and
evening lecture at the opera house last

At the evening performance the picture
machine destroyed number of his

had an experience enjoyed by but few
men, and is now devoting himself to
eyangelistic work, in which he has been
very successful. He only consented to
Eof b0yhood days. His lectnres were
highly enjoyed by all who heard them.
