Commencement Exercises Abandoned.

The Joint Commencement exercises of Kankakee, Wheatfield and Walker townships, which was to have been held next Saturday at Wheatfielci, has been called off entirely. The cause for lhe abandoning of the exercises is the result of the smallpox scare in that neighborhood, by the case at Wheatfield. The diplomas will be awarded the graduates but no exercises will be held.
