L, Reame haa returned from Klamuthon, Calif., where aba haa boon very busy making braids, switches and curia. She asks the patronage of tbo ladloa of Jackson County. What is being dono regarding the securing ol that much talked of acad emy? Surely we cannot afford to allow this matter to got away from u for the want ol the small amount ol subscrip tion which will be aaked from each of us. This Is a matter ol too great im portance to our city to be lost sieht ol. Thoro Is no good reason why we should not secure the academy. If we lose It without an effort we will always oen- sure ourselves for lack of interest, but ii we make tho effort and then loae it wo will bavo tho satisfaction of know ing that we did our best.
