E. church last evening by Dr. Joseph Koshaba, a native Persian, was one of the most in teresting and instructive ever heard in this city. The audience was small, but those who were fortunate enough to be present, listened with spellbound atten tion while the doctor, in his naive way, told of the manners and customs of this old-world country; now laughing at the description of some ridiculous custom as in courtship and marriage, now saddened by the thought of the dense ignorance and ignominy of the lives of the subjects of the Shah of Persia. Dr. Koshaba has consented to deliver an other lecture in the M. E, church next Sunday evening, when doubtless the room will be crowded. . No admission will be charged, but a popular collec tion will be taken. New Church Organ. Rev.

SCHOOL NOTES. The 4th and 5th grades are finishing their mid-terra examinations. Mrs. Linna Sparrow and Miss Elsa Rosenzweig have been granted life di plomas, -r -i . - - New pupils this week are: Lizzie Sheard, 7th grade; Lawrence Tharp, 1st grade. ' Grading of the north side of the school grounds is in progress, and when this is seeded to blue grass it will be a great improvement. The school circulated a paper among the patrons and teachers on Wednesday, and the donations were liberal. The C. A. Batrett Co. presented the ' boys with a No. 6 catcher's mitt and Dell Bros, contributed a mask and bat, while others gave generously. The boys are practicing hard and will be able to give a good account of themselves when the time comes. Games will be arranged later with neighboring towns. Requiring a grade of 80 per cent before a boy can play had a great effect upon the grades of the boys. The team will certainly be one of which not only the school but the town as well, may be proud. lie BLUE Fro The Best is None too .
