The senior class play "The Brook dale Farm" was presented at the gym-' nasium, Friday night, before quite a large crowd.

Smith bought the meat market belonging to L. W. Minor, and also the one belonging to J. L.' Max well. He will vacate the one formerly owned by Mr. Minor, and will do busi ness in the other one.
