Our friends of Wheatfield will give a a fourth of July celebration at that place and of course it will be an up-to-date one in every respect, We people of Dunnvilie owe it to them to all be present and help them make it one of the best ever held in northern Jasper. At every one ot our celebrations Wheatfield came en masse, now let us show them that we appreciated their past favors by ail rising up as one and go over and assist them this year at Wheatfield; next 4th at Dunn's bridge, remember. The Wheatfield junior base hall team and the D. V. regulars fought a fierce baseball battle upon the Dunn's Bridge ball ground last Sunday afternoon, which resulted in a victory for the latter, the score being 14 to 15. The winning of a victory upon the home ground is, of course, an easier matter than away from home, so if the D. V. boys score a vic-* tory next Sunday at Wheatfield we will extol them. Now, boys, look well to your base ball amunition and see that it does not get flamp and be sure that your base ball cannons are not.spiked with foul balls ancTnard hitting curves. Go over and bring back a victory. We not only request but we demand a victory, in the name of Kankakee township. MILITARY APPOINTMENT FOR C. I. DUNN. While looking over a copy of The Wichita Daily Eagle we ran across an article which we reproduce for the ben efit of the people of this county. It is as follows: “Sergeant Charles I. Dunn, of this city, received word yesterday from the adjutant at West Point Military Academy, to to the effect that he bad passed a creditable examination—physically and mentally for entrance into that school, and he Was directed to report sot duty June 15. Sergeant Dunn is one of the most popular young men in this city. He was for several years a member of Company A, K. N. G. and was appointed by Congressman Murdock to West Point about a year ago. He has been attending a preparatory school in New York the past winter. His many Wichita friends will be pleased to learn of his success.” Mr. Dunn, or Charlie as he is called in these parts, is the oldest grand child of Hon. I. D. Dunn and originally a Dunnvilie boy and of course we are all glad to hear of his election in the military world. He will be right in the line for advancement as seniority with a few exceptions, rules promotions. Therefore if he fives to be sixty years old We may know him as general. We wish to congratulate Charlie in his success.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES, The commencement exercises were held at the M. E. church last Thursday evening in the presence of a large audience of appreciative listeners. The program was O. K., and was carried out in a manner that evoked much well pleased comment. The ten graduates delivered their well prepared addresses in a manner that surely adds fame to Kankakee tp. They can all be proud of their record so far. The solos by Misses DeArmond and Behles were sung in true Dunnville style. We are glad to announce that Miss Grace Hilliard, one of our graduates, received the highest grade in the county. Last year our representative at the county contest took first place, this year we snatched the highest grade prize and also had the largest graduating class in the county. Surely the record of Kankakee tp. is laden with reputation. We stand to day in the front rank of the educational work in the county. The judges awarded the first place at this commencement toMiss Grace Albmj 2nd, to Mary Finn. Grace will have the honor of representing Kankakee at the county contest. We expect her to bring back the first prize for the glory of Kankakee, With the largest graduating class in the county, one of which received the highest grade in the county, Kankakee tp. stands upon the Mt. Everett of importance. We are pressing forward. Behind us we see the gloom of ignorance and superstition. The disgusting discharges from the nose and throat, and the foul catarrhal breath, are quickly dispensed with by using Dr. Shoop's Catarrh Cure. Such soothing antiseptic agents as Oil Euycalypius. Thymol, Wild Indigo, etc., have been incorporated into a snow white cream, making a catarrhal balm unexcelled. Sold by A. F. Long. South NeWton.
