Ultchle, without feeling out of pliK.-e.
ftlver proved that he was tumlo of tho
right kind of material on Thanksgiv
ing afteruof)n by defeating Joe Man
dot, the prlile of New Orlenim, In a
twenty round context
It waa a tcood llht, and Mandot
made a gnme effort, hut in Itlvera he
met his maHter. Itlvera In now en-
tlUed to coiiHlderatlon for a champion
ship fight, and were It not for nix
Den of duel he would be a down
and outer Instead of Booking chatn
plonBUlp honors. It wan enough to
discourage any man to lone a fight In
the manner Rivers lost to Wolgimt on
the Fourth of July, when he practical
ly bad WolgHst out, only to he declur
ed the loser while wrlKUng on the'
floor to get to bis feet. This was an
awful Jolt for the Mexican, but In
stead of returning to hl careless way
of living he set bis heart on retoilnlni;
bis prestige, and he made good wtlh a
rush. He trained faithfully and enter
ed the ring fit to make the fight of hlx
life. Itlvers will probably be matched ,
to meet Ultchle In the near future.

Just as you said it would. This may

EOLA SCHOOL RALLY
A rousing school rally was held
here Friday afternoon the 15th.
The croud was small, but it made
up in enthusiasm what it lacked in
numbers' Prof. Seymore and Mr.
Myers of Dallas were in attend
ance. Educational questions were
discussed pro and con. Nearly
every one present taking an
active part in the discussion. It
is very plain to be seen that geat
good w ould be derived from meet
ings of this kind if every one in
terested would attend and espec
ially in the rural . districts and
liscuss the school question as
some of the best laws, ideas, and
suggestions along that and all
other lines originated in the mind
of the "man behind the plow"
It was formally decided to organ
ize a parent teachers club. Thurs
day Feruary 27th. which is a step
in the right direction for any
school district to adopt, and we
are looking forward to the good
that will certainly be derived
from it.
