Prof. Brennecke has now eighty pupils under Instruction in the pleasing accomplishments of dancing and decorum. He is a genial, good fellow, basides being an excellent teacher, and we are pleased to note his remarkable success during the short time he has been here.

Jerome C. Burnett, who is putting in muob of his time hunting and fishing, caught eleven nice bass, the other day in the Wabash, just above thel. A St. L. bridge. That's something like old time fishing. Such luck has seldom been had by Wabash fisherman in these parts for several years. Perhaps it may be well to add that he didn't get a bite the next day's fishing .,s -t

Among the Nlagarifexairatoniisis, this week, are the following: Edwin Harrison, Dr. Gifford and son, Mrs. Jos, Pugh, E. W. Leeds and wife, S. Frank and son, H. F. Schmidt, B. F.

Shannon and Fischer caught sixty-five fine bass one morning, before breakfast while at Bear Lake the party caaght froth one hundred and seven to one hundred and forty-three per day, varying from one and a half to two and a quarter pounds each.

One week more and the schools will open again, and parents, children and teachers will bear in mind that at Batton A Ob's Central Bookstore can be foond, at the lowest priocs every book used in the schools and all the supples needed. Year after year the Central has bean the recognised headquarters for school supplies of every description. It Is also the general resort tor allthat is CQbby and^Btyllah In writing material, and in oommertial stationery and blank books, few houses in the west carry a •took so large and^aried.

Barnuua's advertising car passed through on the Vandalla road the first of the week. His big show will be here soon. We doubt, however, if he can make as big a show—certainly It will not be as interesting—as that daily seen, at the immense grocery house of Wright A King, filled to overflowing with everything the appetite oau crave. It Is wonderful how they kesp their store so well filled consider* log the constant drain upon their sopplies. An extensive acquaintance throughout the country, enables them get the best and cheapest country produce, and in staple groceries they nowhow to buy at lowest Cgnree, and give their customers the benefit of this knowledge. Drop In there this afternoon and evening and have your Sunday basket filled with good things.
