followed each rendition were earnest
tributes to the songstress and evil
deneed the pleasure given the hearers.
Her future is bright with promise,
and, being, as n may say, to the
manor born, the Vallegians are proud
of her. The plano numbers, through
the artistic touch of Mr.. Doering,
showed wondrous skill, while as an
accompanist he was perfect. l trust
that both he and Miss Wick may have
as pleasant memory of their visit to
our little city as we shall retain of
that event.
Woman's Home Missionary Society
of Fort Hill Church, will hold its next
regular meeting at the residence of
Mrs. Curry, May 14th, 1880 P. NJ. AS
this is an important meeting, a full
attendance is requested. Don't for
get the date. Let every member be
present.
Circuit court adjourned last Satur-
day afternoon. There were but three
jury trials during the term. One was
that of State vs.. Willis Caulley, grand
larceny; the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty and fixed the punishment at
two years in the ~penitentiary. Caul-
ley was parolled. The other two
cases in which juries were called were
those of First National Bank of Eureka
Springs VS.. Thos. H. STAN and The
First National Bank of Madison vs..
Thos. H. STAN. In both cases = the
court instructed the jury to find for
the plaintiffs. Motions for new
trials were fled and an adjourned term
of court will be held May 23d to pass
on these motions. At that time it is
expected the court will hand down a
decision in the case Of the comfy VS..
Chas. Landie, which vas tried last
week. The case of Jesse Culton, fell
onious assault, was continued. The
docket will be printed next week with
the disposition of each case. The
grand jury returned twenty-four in
dictments, there beng SO defendants
named in all of the indictments. They
charge fighting, illegal sale of liquor
and carrying concealed weapons.
Most of the indictments, it is said, are
against residents of the west end of
the county. Warrants will probably
be issued in most of the cases in the
near future. A great number of wit
nesses were before the grand jury and
the amount of witness scrip issued
was in the neighborhood of $500. The
grand jury is a relict of the dark days
and a rather expensive luxury for
these enlightened times.
The following came to me in due
course of the post:
"The Arcadia College presents Miss
Fern Lee Matthews in a Senior Recital
Expression Wednesday, April 20,
Nineteen hundred fourteen, Concert
Hall, 1880 P. M, Arcadia, Mo-"
OF course, I cheerfully responded
to the invitation thus kindly extended,
and, at the hour named, was, with
many other favored ones, in the pres
ence. A daintily designed and ele-
gantly printed Program informed me
that the evenings entertainment was
to be an Expression" by "Fern Lee
Matthews assisted by Miss Margaret
Lind, Vocalist" On the program
were nine numbers from the classics:
I do moi essay the role of critic in
matters elocutional or musical, but
my impressions to me are as real as if
I were qualified to give you a column
of learned and f~ne-drawn dissertation
upon them. My pen must be content
with the expression of the pleasure
given me by the fair and talented
twain in their several roles. Miss
Matthew's delineation Of the various
characters presented were, to my
notion, beyond criticism, and hel
memory marvellous. Word ant
thought conjoined in her renderings az
though of closely woven mental war;
and wool. Not a slip of the one or {
lacking Of the other married the in
terest and beauty of Representations
. The musical numbers by Miss Line
were fitting, in theme and execution
to grace the occasion, and gave i
added enjoyment. Fortunate, indeed
were those who were there to see, t.
hear and applaud.
