Everyone la interested In a good public school, and in order to have a good school and .make it thorough, It requires the active co-operation of the teachers, pupils, patrone and directors. The directors and teachers most re- Hpectfully luvite all citizens to visit our school as often as they can, and give a word of encouragement to the teachers and pupils. Aa everyone well knows, our public sohool has not bad a fair chance dur ing the past year on account -of sick ness. Believing now that there will be no further trouble from that source, we expect much U) be accomplished by this year's work. We hope all who can will attend the exercises of the public school which will be held the day before closing for the holidays. Exercises of the entire school will take place in the public school build ing Thursday, Dec, 24, at 2 p. M. By order of directors and teachers. The Weber Dramatic Co, The Weber Drarnetic company's en tertainments in this city, last Thurs day and Friday nights, were well attended. Considering the fact that the plays presented were new ones, and the troupe bad not had sufficient time to rehearse enough to pet them abso lutely perfect, tbey were acted very well. Mr. Fred Moore's acting, es pecially, was excellent, splendid, superb in fact there is hardly a word in the dictionary that would do Justice to his ability as an actor. No matter what character Mr, Moore Imperson ates, bis acting is perfectly natural, and is Just as the character Imperson ated would act in real life and what more could be asked?

A singing school was organized at the school house Monday night with seventeen members. Mr. Nichols Is an able instructor and we predict great success for him, Preparations are being made for an entertainment to be given by the school and literary society, Saturday evening, Jan. 2. No pains will be spared to make this a success, The public are cordially Invited. At a meeting of the Tennessee Liter ary society on laet Saturday evening, the question, "Resolved that Man is not the Author of his own Destiny" was discussed, with James Blacklaw as leader on the affirmative and Chas. McKuight on the negative. The de cision was in favor of the affirmative. Now, Mr. Caesar, you should not re resort to slang to make it lively for me as you did last week. You say, "ah there," a slang phrase which I thought had become obsolete, and then you proceed to give me a lecture on ill breeding. Oh, consistency, thy name is not Caesar. You say I claim per fection. I do not, even in politics. I did not think to bluff you out of your correspondence as you say. I rather like to read your light and airy style, It reminds me so much of a turkey buzzard I once saw try to soar with one wing broken. Hope you will come again, as it seems to amuse you and don't hurt me. Your love of exagger- tlon carries you entirely away In your last communication. You even mis quote the golden rule. I would advise you to go study the same instead of politics. As to the fact of your having communicated the loss of Mrs. Far rier's horse to the Express, I simply mentioned that by way of corrobora tion and hope you did not take serious offense. You know that in matters of history we cannot be too careful. As to definition of recently which you ask for, will say that Webster is con considered good authority on such matters and would respectfully refer you to the same. You will find many other useful things there for one of literary tastes like yourself. I have talked with some of the choir and they say they are not insulted by the word punk, as applied to them and the song Sweet Oregon. So you see you kick before you are spurred. And further the principles of Bryan are uot untarnished so long as you misrepre seLt them as you do. Now you advise me to buut in a thimble with X-Raya for my brains. The idea! You make me mad, Caeaar, and I, in return, ad vise you to hunt for politics with X-Legs and folded arms, and as to your political standing, of course we all know where you stand (or stood), for an odor of feet pervades the atmos phere for niauy rods around. We are nut in the dark on that. I have, as you advised, decomposed another puem. Here it Is: Tennessee had a little democrat With whiskers anft and low, Aud every where Will Blacklaw went This democrat would go. It followed him to school one day Which was against the rule. It made the woods boys laugh and play To see him kept in after sch ol. You say if were a man I would come to you privately and tear off the musk that covers my beastly name, but you have not given me your address. Jf you will do so I may some time do as a most distinguished republican (I think it was Mahomet) once said: "If the monkey will not come to me I will arise and go to the monkey." Aud now Caesar, if I have written of you in a way no gentleman would do, as you say, you have also treated me lu a most uulady-like manner and I don't think you have been reading the Lebanau Truth or any other paper under the name of truth, lately. Now Cuesar.aslam very busy I will not be able to correspond further with you. You may send back all pictures and letters which you may have of me. Kequkt-eat (pole cat) iu peace. Scat! Stayer. (We think it best tor Caesar and Stayer to cease their controversy, but we will be glad to receive news from either one of them. Editor.) Mr. John Boiinek, son of Mr. and Mis. Albert Sounek left Friday for his home at Lebanon, Oregou. Some three months ago he came home ou a visit and during his sojourn lie assirted his brother Albert, in running his thresh ing engine and separator.
