The graduating exorcises held on
Tuesday evening ot last week were
well attended and the class did them
selves and their teacher much credit
With one exception, the program as
previously arranged was carried out
and gave general satisfaction. All
were sorry that Thad P. Wagner wm
not able to appear and address the
class as was advertised. But on ac
count ot a relapse of "grip" he was
unable to attend. The weather was
Inclement and Mr. Wagner would
not have done himself Justice had he
ventured out on that occasion. One
ot the graduates, Llewelyn Akers,
was unable to attend from having
met with the misfortune ot having
cut his ftiot ao as to unfit him for
travelling. We hope he may soon
recover and take his place with the
rest ot the class which entered the
high school on Monday of this week.
The total number enrolled In the
high school for the present year is
now fifteen. This Is encouraging for
the prospects ot the high school. The
outlook for the school Is becoming
better gradually and we hope to be
on the map soon with respect to
school matters.

o'clock, John Henry, an old gentle
man whose borne was across the
Illinois river from Kerby about two

Henry had been indisposed for some
weeks and had been staying at the
Union hotel. He seemed to be lm
proving somewhat and was able to
be about more or less, but was found
dead In his room on Wednesday
morning. His watch, who had 'been
with him dnrlng the night, had been
excused for the remainder of the
