A larger crowd than usua1 was pres ent last Monday night at the Grand opera house to attend the conimece- nient rxercises of the Garnett llign school. And this is iquivalent to say 1 ing the house was uncomfortably c-owded, localise iu the seventeen years in which the Garnett High school is been observ ing coii.inence-' ment dav.

it has never failed to be one of the chief ai tractions of ihe year. Although there was a change in the custom of the past this year, and the gradu ites were not called upon to de liver orations, yet there was the same inteiest of oid and more than a thousand friends were there to greet as hi ight a class as ever graduated from the Garnett schools. The class this year was not so large as usual, but their work lias been thoroiiQh and lust as ditheult as though there were three times the number. Thev are therefore as de serving of praise. The members of the class aie as fol lows: Ruby Bacon, Grce M.

Carey, Edna L. AVardell, Fannie Killoiigh, Charlie W. Cook, Charlie W. Garrison and Jesse Thornton. They were all required to prepare orations and pre sent the manuscript to Superinteii dent McClellan for criticism.

Prof McClellan reports that these orations are perhaps above the average of the past years and all of them show care ful preparation and earnest work The orations prepared were as follows: Wait the Issue." Rubv Bacon: National Moi.uments," Grace M. Ca- rev: "Daniel Webster." Charlie W.

The annual alumni banquet was held at the Fourth Avenue hotel Wednesday night. The main interest on commencement day always centers in the High school exercises. These were held in the Grand in the evening. The program was different from former yeais, but the interest and attendance were fully up to any previous year. The seven graduates, with Principal Stim-mel, occupied places upon the platform but took no part in the promam, which was as follows: Music Orchestra Invocation dor Stevci pon U-cturc, "Vate" President Owo.

W. Ilerrick Music Orchestra Presentation of Diplomas Rev. K. 1. Stevenson Music Orchestra President Herrick's address was practical and appropriate to thi occasion.

It was unquestionably one of the best lectures to which our people have had the privelege of listening a Ion? time. It was replete with practical comon s-inse ideas for the student, the graduate, the teacher, the citizen and the business mun. We cannot attempt a synopsis because our space i3 inadiquate to do it justice. His audience listened attentively throughout and appriciate the effort. FKOM THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

McClellan has finished his work of five years' super-intendencyof our city schools and I will, in a few weeks, move to Cbffey- ville to assume a like possition in that eity. His work has been succesffull and highly satisfactory and he leaves the schools in excellent condition-, for his successor. As a gentleman and citizen, he stands high and he and his family are popular. The Eaglk wish' es them pleasant and abundant sue cess in their new home and field of work. President Ilerrick, in his address last Monday night, worked off a good one on the populist legislature.

He was speaking of how the packing and slaughter bouse had learned to save what was foimerly wasted of the slaughtered animals and said, "now it is stated that nothing is wasted of the slaughtered hogs except the squeal and even now some enterprising Yankee is inventing a method by whieh the squal can be bottled under pres-uae and utilized in such legislatures as Kansas now has." The chicken house of Mrs. "John It. Foster, south west of town, took lire last Friday afternoon and for a while it was thought it would all burn as only one or two women were at the house, but by prompt work they managed to keep the fire under control until Mr. Khoads and one or two others arrived. The tiie bell was sounded and the fire company went out but the fire was out before the boys got there.

The chicken house aJjoins the wood shed and the wood-shed joins to the kitchen part of the residence. If the fire had got a good start all the" buildings would have been destroyed. The friends of Jesse Studebaker, and there are lots of them, regret to see him leave Garnett. He is well known in this county, having "grown up' among us. lie served two term as county clerk and made one cf the most popular officer ever elected to that position.

Before he entered pol i-ic-s he was in the mercantile busi ness eley. Upon his retirement from he again entered business locati in this city with a general merchandise store. He has been here since that time, and has built up good trade. He is a good busine man, and a genial neighbor. While we do not like to see him leave, every body wishes him succes in his new cation.

A woman will never admit she is wrong. Recently two women in one of the churches of this city had quarrel which threatened to spread among the flock. The elders conclu ded to have the women meet and apol ogize to each other and settle the trouble. After the proper amount of exhortation the women met one day in the presence of a number of their seconds and the elders, and this is the apolosry. Mrs.

A. said: "I am sorry I lost my ten: per, Mrs. but you talked so mean to me that I could not help it." Then Mrs. B. replied -1 know 1 should not have talked so mean to you, Mrs.

I am ashamed of myself for paying any attention to such a woman as you." Then the el ders adjourned the peace meeting to prevent bloodshed. and Breeze: We have read of Maud on a summer day, who raked, barfooted the mown hay; we have read of the maid in early mom, who milked the cow with the crumpled horn; and we've read the lays that the poets singr, of the rustling corn and the floweis of spring; but of all the lay of tongue or pen, there's naught like the lay of the Kansas hen. Lor before Maud ra.kesher hay, the Kansas hen has begun to lay, and ere the milk maid stirs, a peg, the hen is up and nas dropped her egg: the corn must rustle and flowers spring if they hold their own with the barnyard ring. If Maud is needing a hat and gown, she doesn't hustle the to town; she goes to the store and obtains l.er suit with a basketful of her fresh hen fruit; if the milkmaid's beau makes a Sun day call, she doesn't feed him on milk at all, but works up eggs in a custard pie and stuffs- him full of chicken fry; and when the old man wants a horn, does he take the druggist a load of corn? Not iLiich! He simply robs the nest you know the rest. He lingers there and he talks, perchance, of true reform and correct fee nance, while his poor wife stays at home aud scowls, but is saved from want by those self same fowls; for, while her husband lingers there, she watches the cackling hens with care and gathers eggs, and the eggs she'll hide 'till she saves enough to stem the tide.

Then hail, all hail, to the Kansas hen, tha greatest blessing of all to men! Throw up your hats and make Rome howl for the preserving barnyard fowl! Corn may be king, but it's plainly seen the Kansas hen is the Kansas Queen. Horticultutal Meeting. A goodly number of farmers and their wives met at the park or. Thursday, May 20th in respt nse to the invitations sent out by the Anderson county Horticultural society. Mrs.

of to ed M. be the the 1 'J 4 'Horticulture in the home." Hon W. H. Barnes, secretary of the state society was introduced and gave a very practical address and should have been heard by every farmer in the county.

Unfortu nate for the meeting a heavy tlnauier storm came up during Mr. Barne's ad dress which caused many from a dis tance to leave for" their homes and thus prevented them from joining the society but they will have an opportu nitv to do so at the next meeting to be held in the park at -2 p. m. on Thursday June 17th, at. which timean interesting program will be rendered L.
