Something to Worry Afoowf.

Thov oaW it hurt moral-*, and maybe

Good morals,   but folks   were
greatly alarmed;
Tho flaw were   concerned,
many were prone
To leave the whole matter severely
alone;
They aaid it hurt culture, and maybe
it had
A bearing on culture moot certainly
bee's
But left to itself it would work itself
out,
There wasn't a thing to be worried
about,
They said it-hurt learning and maybe
It did,
But learning's a thing that expects
to be hid,
And while there was   much,   they
agreed, to be learned,
There wasn't good cause to be gravely concerned.
They said it hurt manhood, and maybe it meant
Some injury to it, as far as it went;
BnS this was no reason* for clamor or
fuss. "
As long as it didn't directly hurt ns.
But when it hurt Business the folks
over town
Unitedly said that   it must be put
down,
Whatever it was, and they stamped
the thing out—
For then it was something to worry
about.

INTERESTING SERVICES
Conducted By Bishop McCormick On Sunday Evening.
HARRISON.
As previously announced, confirmation services, cooducted by Bishop
McCormick, were held at the Opera
House on Sunday evening. Eev. E.
S. Barkdull, rector of St. John's
church, Mt. Pleasant, had prepared
a small class for this service. Two
of them, Miss Florence Huffman and
Edward Geeck, went to Mt. Pleasant
and were confirmed in the morning,
while to three others, Mrs. Lettie
Graves, and' Misses Jennie and
Elisabeth Pierson, the rite was administered here in tbe evening.
Although tbe weather was exceed-
.^ingly unfavorable, yet a very fair
audience had assembled. After the
confirmation service the bishop delivered a very-scholarly and interesting sermon on "Opportunity." He
spoke of the derivation of the word,
how it had grown to its present
meaning and quoted from many as
to tbe 'importance of recognizing
that "There is a tide in the^affairs of
men that, taken at its height, leads
on to fortune." A word spoken at
* the right moment and in the right
way, may completely change the current of a life. Bishop McCormick
attempts no flights"Of oratory, speaking in a conversational tone and
using simple, forceful language. He
will be cordially welcomed whenever
he may visit our city again.
We understand that there are about
25 Episcopolians in tbis city and
. vicinity, a substantial neucleus for a
'church at some future day. No attempt will be made for such an or-
' ganizatinn at the present time, bafc
services will be held occasionally at
the homes of the members.

He Feels Big.
John Gardner, the Fourth St. implement dealer, has great ideas of
his importance just now. A few
weeks ago he auctioned off a fine
buggy and succeeded in getting only
a little over half price for it. The
Sentinel ventured to suggest that- it
was due to the poor auctioneer. On
Saturday last, he put up another
buggy and employed the famous
auctioneer, Col. Ward, to sell it; and
now he claims the colonel did not
even reach the mark that he himself
set. We suspect that it was not
nearly so good a buggy. Certainly
there was not nearly so. large a
crowd, and besides it was so cold
that doubtless all thought another
winter, was coming on and they
wanted a cutter instead of a buggy.
Anyway* Mr. Gardner feels wonderfully puffed up. If he ever quits the
implement business, lookout for another auctioneer. We understand
that he thrusts his head into a barrel

■Gardner," just to hear how it Bounds.

most of the state it had'been protected by a covering of enow. When
the snow left the ground wheat generally seemed all right as we are informed but soon gave indications of
having been seriously injured. A large

Who are successful in securing diplomas may have their tuition paid

pass, and the parents are willing to
pay tbe necessary tuition for the
freshman year in high school and the
child is admitted to the high school
and sucessfully passes the ninth
grade, and secures a written statement to that effect from the superintendent, then application may be
made to the primary district board
for tuition for the succeeding years
but not, of'course, for the ninth
grade. The-rural board cannot pay
more than S20 a year for each, pupil
unless the people at the annual meeting yote to pay more.

May 10th,
Everyone is familiar with the
"Park Benefit" concert. It has come
to be recognized as the great annual
event in this city. About the only
drawback's the fact that only a part
ot the people can secure tickets to
attend. Either we shall have to
build a larger hall to accommodate
the thing or else, like the Ben Greet
players, take the performance into
the woods where the room is
limited,.
But we are wandering from
subject. We have mentioned
Park Benefit concert only incidently
and by way of comparison. We
understand that on the evening of
May 10th an even^ will be pulled off
here that Will make the Park affair
look like "thirty cents." ' We know
next to nothing abont the details bnt
learn tbat the ladies will boss tlie job
and that means that it will be something worth while. How does it
happen that the fair ground" can
show that fine building that contributes so much to the success of the
fair last tell? It ia there because the
women of Glare and surrounding
country bad*faith and nerve to undertake its erection. But it cost quite »
sum of money and is not entirely
paid for yet. Now this entertainment of which we speak- is to wipe
out this debt and, it is hoped, leave
something for the future. Every one
who attends can be surev of getting
the full worth of his money and, at
the same time, aid a most worthy-
cause.
We are informed tbat along abont-.
tbe nOon hour there will be a street
parade that will cause the ordinary-
affair of that sort to pale into insignificance. To use the vernacular, it
"will be worth the whole price of
admission." Further particulars
later.
