BrinKley School,

The first months enrolment of the public school was 276. There are thirty three of this number in the high school. Two girls from Memphis will be en- rolled in the second months en- rollment. one in the high school, and the other in the seventh grade. We hope the enrolment of the school this year will reach 300. Outside students will be cordially welcomed. We are pleased to have already a num- Der Of nonresident students. Tuition is free to all teachers and high school pupils of Monroe County.
 Written examinations are com ing on at the close of this month aud such grades as students actually make on written exami nations will be forwarded to each parent and guardian repre- sented in school. I take this means of asking the parents to remind the students of the, school at supper the first five nights of the week that next day is school day. No boy or girl can make a good grade in school without studying, both at home and at school. From Friday night to Sunday night is as much time a, any boy or girl can idly spend. The future demands of business and society are too great and too many for boys and girls to waste but little of the energy of their school days. Every intelligent and fair-minded boy realizes tn 2 truth of this.
 No parent can allow his chil- dren to throw away any of the five school nights without doing them an injustice.

the more frequently the people attend divine worship and hear instruction the more rapidly they progress in the spiritual life. We have decided to open the doors of our church six nights in the week in order that those who desire to know more of God may have greater opportunities of doing so.
 | We take this step not because we feel more qualified for ser vice than others but feeling the present need of Christians to be more prayer, conservation, mofe knowledge and understanding of the principals and purposes of God as revealed in Christ Jesus, we take the work in humble de- pendence upon the Spirit to give wisdom, knowledge, patience, and strength, to do that which He may see fit to accomplis h through our willingness, to serve Hi n.
 We do not only expect to strengthen our own faith, zeal and Christian integrity. but we have faith that by prayer, ex- hortation and in instruction. God will raise up and develop lead- CTS and strong Christian charac- ters who will carry on the work of the Lorl more effectullly wherever they may labor. We sincerely desire ald invite every one to be present at these services as often as they find itl possible to do so. We hope tol make stronger Christians and to l lead men into the knowledge of l Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
 From time to time we hope to introduce new speakers and lectures. This one thing we as- sure you, no matter who you are and what your circumstances may be. if you love the Lord or desire to know of Him, you are the person we hope to have the pleasure of seeing at these ser- vices.

CARLOAD OF BERRIES
IN OPEN CRATES

A carload Of berries. in open
crates. is being loaded at the station
this afternoon for New York, con-
signed to various commission houses.
The car is being loaded under the
supervision OF j. B. GoOdfellow. who
worked up the enterprise. This is
the first lot of berries to 60 forward
in open crates this season, bhip-
ments being steadily made In re-
frigerator boxes. 1t is claimed that
by sending a car of open crates sew
eral cents per quart in transportation
charges can be saved The only
question is as to whether the ship
nlents will arrive in equally good
condition as those made in boxes,
and the returns from this car will
be watched with interest.

IN MARRIAGE LOTTERY

Patronizing q Matrimonial Bureau
in search Of . life partner. and then
travelling nearly q thousand miles in
search of the idol Of her heart,

through the medium Of his picture.
Mrs. Maggie Felix, Of Owensboro,

and was met at the station by her
proud spouse-to-be. Mr.. Wylie J. Co.
wart. OF Samville, which thriving
city is located in the vicinity of Fort
Myers.
Mr.. Cowart escorted his bride-to-
be to the Jefferson Hotel, where they
went through process of getting
acquainted. The lady at once began
to be dissatisfied and disappointed,
telling the gentleman that he wasn't
at all like his picture; that he hal
represented that he had only two
children and he had five, and that he
said he owned a farm, and that he
was only a day laborer.
For all of these complaints, the
groom evidently had pleasing
and satisfactory explanation, for
about . o'clock they repaired to the
parsonage of the Methodist church
where they were united in marriage
by Rev. I. c. jenkins, who thus made
two hearts to beat as one, and it is
hoped two lives forever happy.
