interesting issues of the last two
weeks.
Week before last there were the
reports of the splendid Commence
mcnt exercises that were held in the
county These events which mark an
epoch in the lives of our most bril-
liant young people always stir up
within us spirit of pride and Of
admiration as we look on while they
are graduated and presented with
their diplomas.
At such times we are wont to
speculate as to their future influence
upon the affairs of their community,
state and nation. Then there was
that splendid report of the Snow Hill
Alumni Banquet There was spirit
in that write-up that was contagious.
One could not read il without feeling
in some measure the spirit of the
occasion. enjoyed il.
Next came the last weeks issue
literally bubbling over with Base
Ball enthusiasm. 1t appears that
plans arc on foot TO give Worcester
people some good baseball entertain
ment and no doubt those who are
promoting the plans will receive
hearty support.
Many who will read this article
doubtless will remember that used

It Is not the usual thing for a lawyer to take a text when he pleads case before jury. Yet that is what happened last week in d Little Rock court. when a case was on trial in which a preacher was the plaintiff. His attorney. in making his argu- ment, took for his text Acts 5;;3S- 39, which reads as follows:
 And now l say unto you re- frain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this wotk be of men. it will come to naught;
 But if it be of God, ye can- not overthrow it: lest happily ye be found even to fight against God.

The siX-Week normal school for the benefit of the public school teachers of the county opened Monday with a good attendance, the enrolment today being 34.
 Superintendent Agee is the in- structor, and is doing some much needed work. With the proper cooperation of the teachers, the six-weeks normal will be worth to the schools far more than the salary the county pays Mr. Agee.

only one who took the matter philosopfiically was Clint Turn CT, who had gene to great trouble to furnish sandwiches to the crowd and was just ready to light his fire when we filed out to come home. He sighed a sigh that expressed relief and said. Well, I'm out just a dime. " And his loss was far greater than eta combined loss. for if he could have fed that hungry crowd on the investment of a dime, he would have taken the place in profane history that the boy and his loaves ani fishes have in sacred history.

Tribute to W. ]. Glenn

Whereas. The Supreme Commander of the Universe has in his infinite wis dom. seen fit 10 remove from us our worthy brother, w. J. Glenn; there fore. be it
 Resolved, That we, tbAmembers of NJ ble Hill and WatalNla lodges of Odd Fellows and Mystic Lodge No. 9 Knights of PythiGs. jointly extend his wife and other bereaved loved ones our fraternal sympathy in this their hour of deep grief. and commend them to the Supreme Commander who knoweth best, for comfort in their time of gloom, and for guidance throughout the remainder of their days.
 Bro. Glenns philanthrope spirit most Beautifully fitted him for a fra ternal lodge member, and he will b. greatly missed by his brother mem bers. He eXemplified in the every day walks of life that love for mankind taught by our high and noble orders. and which love in the breasts of ell men would make this world one ol light and justice, joy and laughter sunshine and song.
 Many deeds of c..arity done by Bro. Glenn are left as evidence of his worth as a lodge member and his merit as 6 citizen. Among these deeds may be listed the care of orphans and helpless old persons. He, with his faithful wife, reared q number of orphan chil dren and cared for several aged pee pie. His kindness toward children in general and his meek spirit toward older persons won for him hundreds of friends among young and old. If such charity as his warmed the hearts of men everywhere as il should. how much more lovely this old world would be.
 With few words. and in an unss- suminT manner. Uncle Billie Glenn. as his friends were pleased to call him, accomplished good work on earth. and, although he will be greatly miss ed in the lodge rooms. by the tireSide and aS citizen, when he left us. he took with him testimonials oi noble deeds, tho golden keys that open the palace of eternity.
 May our brethren. and others as we'll emulate that noble and perSever- ing spirit of love for felliw.men so quietly. yet most devotedly. shown by Bro Glenn. The charitable soul car ries with il q charmed atmosphere os peace and love When charity he comes properly dinused over the face of the earth. then will the angel of peace take up it's abode with the ciil- dren of men, Wars and rumors of wars will cease. and no moro will there he shattered empires, rivers of blood and slaughtered millions. Envy and revenge will hide their heads, falsehood and islander will he unknown and all nations will join in song of universal brotherhood. Dismterest ed and benevolent acts will abound, secretarian walls will crumble to dust and the world will he transformed into a paradise. in which everything that is beautiful and lovely shall grow and bloom.
 Resolved, That copies of this tribute to our departed brother he furnished spread upon our lodge books.

Second Battle of Bungo Run

 After the usual artillery feel. ing out of the positions and strength of the enemy, Col. Ben- son launched an attack against the center with fatal results to- the state. He demanded of Esq. Crossno that he disqualify the sheriff and all his deputies in the matter of summoning a jury. To the utter astonishment of every lawyer present Esq Crossno promptly disqualified the sheriff and appointed John Law as spe. cial deputy to summon jury. If the ladies thought they had set a new precedent in attending this trial in body, they must take their hats off to Esq. Crossno. for ladies have attended court before, but he is the first justice Of the peace who ever assumed the authority to arbitrarially dis qualify the sheriff and all of his deputies.
 The complete success of the attack severed all contact be- tween the right and left wings of 1 the attacking forces and caused the greatest confusion. and the army would probably have been annihilated had not Esq Crossno made a tactical error in appoint ing a special deputy. Those who know Mr. Law recall that he is by nature of a ruddy complexion. | which has been tanned by the sun and wind to a hue that TO prohi enforcement officer would dare send him out without a whltsmask on, to summon juries to try liquor cases. Col Rache $ ordered a general retreat to thjs side of the river and took up q position in the Mayors court. by having the cases dismissed with out prejudice without prejudice . is only a legal term meaning that the dismissal at that time does not bar future prosecution and has no reference to anyone's mental state and securing new war rants issued by Mayor Turner, and arresting the defendants as soon as they got back on this side This action ny the state and the immediate wise sidestcpping by the Mayor has injected it. in q measure. into today's clty cleo ton. Don't understand us to say that we are holding a special election today with tickets marked. For or Against Bungo and Booze" but as surely as q ticket is put into the ballot box the voter will think, The new mayor will try Bungo.'
 All of us left Webb City mad. Everyone connected with the case was named as the one to blame for our long trip over there and nothing done. Each fellow had a good reason why he knew a certain culprit committed the crime, but no two agreed exactly as to which was the culprit. We were like bunch of Mexicans at a bull fight when the bull re- fused to fight and the bull fighter took the cold feet. We went over to see blood flow. and came away more blood-thirsty than ever. We wanted to mob the ferryman. We thought it was a scheme of his to get rich quick. We also think Webb City should build a city hall in town if they expect us to pull these stunts very often. The

 The entire Peoples ticket was elected except one. The follow ing are the officers elected:
