OF c. H. SIGNAL

One of the most ambitious school
papers ever issued in Columbia and
the largest and best ever published
by the County High school students,
is the commencement number of the
High School Signal. It contains more
than fifty pages. The cover is unus-
ually artistic, being Of white velum,
with the letters in gold and purple, the
school colors. The publication is pro-
fusely illustrated, containing likeness
es Of the twenty graduates singly and
in groups; also a group picture Of the
Signal staff, of the foot ball, the two
basket ball and the baseball teams
and q number of other views. Hand
some likenesses of Prof. Harris, the
superintendent and Prof. Duke, the
principal, are also shown. The read
ing matter is above the average for
school papers and reflects great deal
of credit upon the staff, number of
whom retire with this issue, having
been members of the large graduating
class. The group picture Of the junior
class of last year shows a fine pros
pect for the graduating class of next

turned into open court this morning
with batch of about dozen other

checks that are not good. The law
has been repeatedly invoked in other
parts of the state, but this is the first
time that it has been applied in this
county.
The grand jury returned a number
of bills for various offenses. Sick
ness upon the part Of two or three
members of the original grand jury
has delayed the work of that body.
This week two new members had to
be substituted and the bills returned
by the jury this morning were all in
cases where the proof has been heard
this week.
In the list today were two for grand
larceny against Charley Wells; two
for larceny against Eugene Thomas,
colored; one for selling liquor without
license; one for carrying concealed
weapons; one for forgery; one for pro-
family; one for giving bad check; one
against Dock Vestal for assault to

A SUICIDE BY SHOOTING.

by S. Peasants, prominent member of
the Huntsville bar, committed suicide
in his office on Bank row at 1870
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. He left a
note on his desk unsigned, but I'M
doubtedly in his own handwriting,
saving that an effort was being made
to connect him with the horrible Law
Ter murder; that he was innocent, and
knew his mother and friends would
believe him when he said he knew
nothing of the case either way. but
that he had been suffering from ner-
vous prostration two years. and his
nerves we're not equal to the new
strain that had been put upon them.

Within the past three months seven
car loads of rags have been shipped
from Maury county. Louis Barker
has shipped three of the seven cars
from Columbia. Two car loads have

averaged about $4,000 making a
total of $500 actually picked up by
