Last Saturday evening at the Dav-
Long delightfully."- entertained the
ed themselves by working out the
following story, each blank which
was to contain the name of one of
the teachers.
One placid afternoon Long aeons
ago, two of Adams sons were engaged
in their respective occupations. One,
an agriculturist, was hoeing his Ber-
ryhills. He repined at the quality of
the soil which was Sandifur as one
could see. The other, a short, thick
ct youth, who resembled our modern
Irish type, best represented by our
friend Kelly, was a shepherd. The
night before he had treed and caught
two Coons which had been troubling
his young lambs. Since it was a
rainy night he had borrowed his
brothers Mcintosh and had lost it in
the hunt. Upon discovering this fra
ternal negligence, the agriculturist
seized his brothers Crook-er cane,
whatever they called it in those days
and pursued him holly and in rage
with firm intent to Slaughter the
guilty youth This being accomplish
ed with all due bloodthirstiness. a
visitation from Heaven caused this
primary murderer to Hyde in the will
derness He was then in a sad Case.
Destitute of human sympathy and
kindness and wandering homeless
and alone, his punishment was also
too heavy to bear and his heart was
Melton with grief and repentance.

acquainted with their work 1t will be
little unsettled but that will not
take long.
Among the changes made in the
rooms originally designated for some
of the officials is that of the assessor
and county Judge. 1t had been ar
ranged that Assessor Smith should
te southeast corner. This would have
required the carrying of the heavy
books from the basement to the sec
ond floor and would have been in
convenient, for the county treasurer
and assessor have considerable busi-
ness exchanging between their Of
fees. The county Judge had been as
signed one Of the cell rooms on the
second floor. This room is fitted with
iron bars and had every appearance
of being cell rather than the office
of a judicial official. The judge there
fore was assigned the room the as
SCISSOR had and the assessor moved
down to the first floor just back of
the clerks office. These were the
only changes made so far, but the
commissioners will have to arrange
quarters for their meeting place as
the old board had set aside the room
which is now occupied by the as

visiting done in and out of the city
than at other times there is more
danger Of this than at other times
