Through the generosity tf the
patrons of the school, we are
able to continue our reading pc
riods for the children of the
High school. Several have al
ready contributed magazines to
the reading room. One half-hour
period a day is given to each
class to read current magazines.
A number Of these magazines do
not go into the homes of the
pupils. and hence the public
school is affording them an op-
portunity to read that they might
not get otherwise. The plan was
a success last session.
We are indebted to Mrs. E. E.

Judge Kirby's opinion on this matter was that if the central committee found 1t necessary to select a candidate in order to protect the party and the people from the loss of Senator at the general election, they should select some one who, they thought, would best discharge the public service in accordance with the wishes of the people.

and the railroad tariff which the rail. roads have put into effect, in viola ton of the commission tariff. The suit was filed by Prosecuting Attor. ney J. N. Rachaels upon the informa- ton of the commission. E. L. West brook of Jonesboro, Commissioner T E. Wood and Rate Clerk H. M. Greg ory represented the plaintiffs. Judge J. M. Jackson, after hearing the case assessed fine of $500 against the railroad in each of the two cases, and notice of appeal was given immedi- ately. The commission will make an effort to have the case advanced as a matter of public interest.
 Immediately after judgment was rendered at Marianna, counsel for the railroad made application in federal court at Little Rock for temporary restraining order to enjoin the con- mission from bringing further suits There are five others of similar character pending at Malvern and two
 in Little Rock. There will be a con- ference Monday forenoon between counsel for the railroad company and the railroad commission concerning further proceedings pending a deter imitation of the Lee county case. This IS to be test of the authority of the state commission to make rates.

A Successful Entertainment.

A Successful Entertainment.
The two humorous plays given in the
opera house last Friday evening by a
number OF Shepherdstown ladies under
the direction OF Mrs. Robert Gibson was
a great success. "How the Story Grew"
was a tale OF village gossip that was not
only funny, but pointed moral plain to
all who heard 1t was acted very clever
ly indeed, and though some OF the per-
formers had not been on the stage for
many years, they played their parts ex-
ceedingly well. The Wrong Baby
was humorous sketch that was also full
OF fun, and the several characters were
admirably acted. Indeed, the large au-
dience expressed IFS approval with such
hearty applause and the compliments to
the actresses were so profuse that we
shouldn't wonder if some OF the ladies
become stagestruck. II certain elderly
gentlemen come home some day and
miss their wives, they need not be sur
prised. We can tell them where to look
for the runaways-on the stage in the
larger cities. The Village improvement
Society, for whose benefit the play was
given, is richer by about $65 as result
of the performance, and the people OF the
community had very pleasant evening
The managers OF the performance are
very grateful 10 Mr.. Musser, who not only
gave the use OF the opera house free. but
did all in his power to make the affail
pass off pleasantly.

Basketball.

DdShCtUdh.
Two games OF basketball were played
in the Shepherd College gymnasium last
Saturday night, the college team against
the qunt from the Chambersburg High
School and the girls teams from the same
Institutions. The ChambersburggirlS SIM
ply ate up our girls, getting % goals for
themselves and preventing Shepherd COL
lege from scoring once. Their centre
was young woman ofthe generous pro-
portions of the Goddess of Liberty in New
York harbor, who calmly dropped the
ball in the goal by the simple expedient
of stretching her arms to full length. In
justice TO our girls il may be said that they
were handicapped by the absence OF three
OF their best players.
The College boys outplayed the visitors
in every particular, winning by the score
OF 80 to Is. The Chambersburgers kept
up brave tight, but the home team was
entirely too fast for them, playing really
brilliant game. Kirk Mckee, OF the COL
lege qulnt, is entitled TO especial credit,
having shot twelve goals. He played the
last few minutes with CORY face, bump
with another man having given him cut
that panied bit and bled good deal.
Last Saturday night game OF basket
ball was played here in the firemen's hall
between the town team and 1.-THE Boston
College Girls, an aggregation OF young
women who have been playing in this
section. The game, which was spirit
ed and interesting one, was won by the
town boys by score Of SO to IS. The
young women were modest and yet live
ly in their playing, and made good I'M
preston upon those who opposed them
as we'll as upon The spectators, and their
conduct here was irreproachable. A
large crowd witnessed the game and en-
ioyed it.
