The splendid auditorium at the
school building was packed last
Friday night with people ,who were
to participate in and witness spell
ling bee. The teachers and pupils
of the school had challenged all out
siders to the match, and the affair
was arranged on short notice.
About seventyfve representatives
of the school, from the sixth grade
up spelled against two dozen persons
from the town. The larger number
from the school was gradually dis
patched, and finally the contest mar
rowed to Mrs. J. +. Rice, of the
school, and Mr.. w. ii. Gray, of
the town, these two holding on for
a long while, until the captains,
Prof. V. NJ. Moseley and Mr.. II.
o. Meredith agreed to call 1t a
draw. There was the keenest inter
est throughout the evening, and
many amusing situations, calling
forth frequent rounds of applause.
Another match is being arranged,
to take place next Friday night,
perhaps, when about a dozen repre-
sen,atiyes from each side will be
chosen. The next one will be an
even greater attraction, though there
will be charge of ten cents for ad-
mission, theRreceipts to be placed
in the library fund of the school.
Even the contestants swill pay this
fee, as everyone is anxious TO swell

Our Distinguished Visitors.

Muhlenberg will have for a few
days three notable men, who have
won places of distinction in many
lands. They are all kentuckians,
living in Louisville. Mr.. Otto y.
Rothert needs no introduction to
our people, for he has thoroughly
identified and deeply endeared him
self to all of us, being our most
worthy historian, having written a
history of Muhlenberg county that
is recognized at home and abroad
as one of the most complete volum-
es of the kind ever produced. Mr..
Young +. Allison is known to many
Muhlenbergers, as he has made few
visits here, where he has relatives
and warm admirers. For many
years he was identified with the
state press, being In editorial con-
troll of two or three of the leading
metropolitan journals. Lately he
has been identified with the trade
p -css. and is editor of the uln:u sCe
Field" one OF the oldest and most
promincnt journals of this class in
the South He does oons:d .rab,e
literary work, IN poetry, music and
dramatic criticism, ard is constant
contributor to thc leading magazines
of the country. The othtr member
OF the trio, Mr.. Madison Cawein, is
recognized as kentucky's leading
poet. He Is the author of many
books of charming verse, covering
wide fields of fact and fancy, and in
song and story has produced many
allunng, appealing, enduring, num-
bers. He has travelled far and seen
much, being close observer and
great lover of nature, and in these
impressions and expressions he most
pleases his wide circle of student
readers. These gentlemen will ar
rive this afternoon, and will visit
various parts of the county for the
mex; few davs. Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Lowell will have them as
guests for dinner tonight, and a well
occupied program will bring them
in touch with many of our people
while they are here. Friday morn
ing Mr.. Cawein has agreed to give
a reading from his works in the
auditorium at the school building,
and everyone Is invited to enjoy
this rare treat.

Arbor Day Observance at School.

Mex; Monday is Arbor Day in
Kentucky, and there will be more
general observance of this impor
tant day than ever before. The
high and graded schools here will
observe the day by cleaning up and
beautifying the scnool grounds.
All the high school boys will work,
and every patron of the school and
citizen of the town will be welcome
to aid IN the service. There is con
siderable rubbish on the grounds,
occasioned by the overhauling of
the building, and everything will be
removed. A wagon or so can be
used to great advantage, and it is
hoped some public spirited, thought
full persons will donate the vehicles,
which will not be needed until the
afternoon, to cart away the articles
gathered. The ladies of the w. &.
T. L. have agreed to serve lunch at
noon, and will gladly avail them
selves of all assistance from the pub
lie, as it will be some task to feed
the 400 persons who will undoubted-
ly be engaged in the work.
