Do-n fail to see the greatest attrac tion ever book-ed for this town on Sep tember 24h at Manning School Audi torium. "The College Singing Girls." A Grand Concert. The fireman's concert, which was given last Monday night should make those who pan-Icipat.ad in it very proud, for the reason that they r~nve toa nice audience, an evening of great pleasure as well as the privilege to contribute to a most worthy cause. Those who did not attend saved a few cents, but they lost the touch of enlightment and relin ed influence, which goes far towards making the world what was intended by the original Designer We make no exaggerated assertion when we say the performaic.e was far beyond the expections of those present, hbens it was known that these ladies and gentlemen did not have the time to practice that the magnificient musical numbers was entitled to. but notwith standing this, they gave their audience a most delightful entertainment which was highly appreciated. We would not know where to begin to select special numbers in the pro gramme to make special mention of. for the whole proe'ramme was grandly ren det-d. The last nurmber.

Give a Good Send Off. i We direct attention to the invita.ion 1 of Professor Daniel for the parents of the school to attend the opening exer - cises on Monday 20th. It is right and prper for all of us to give every en couragement to the scholars and teach 1ers. We hope that on next Monday morning the auditorium will have in it representatives of all the families in the jdistrict, and that our business mneu will gace the occasion with their presence. A citizen should never become too busy to lend a moral support to a cause which means so much to this communm t, and the country at large. Look at et the busy men who responded to the call of the State recently. and went over the State to arouse the masses to a more in tense interest in the cause of education: these men did this as a patriotic duty, and as busmness men of observation. tney read the signs of the times, and they saw the necessity of wakcing the peopie up. If men who have large ho!dinga can af!'ord to take time to go out t( counsel the people, our local business men can surely leave their stores fora couple of hours to bid God speed to the c launching of a new session. in the new school buildiog.

I would like to enter my vrotest against the vandalism that is being dis playcd in our town at present. For years the only beauty of which the town 1 could boast has consisted of the trees planted in our streets and public places I by public spirited men of the past. I say. of the past., because so far as I can learn Mr. W. S. Harvin is the only man living in the town now who has ever been directly or indirectly responsible for putting out any considerable nun ber of trees. In the fifteen years that I have spent here I have sten trees cut down scores of times, but practically none set out. Recently this seemz to have reache-1 a craze, and for the pa.t sixty days axes have been going contin tinually destroying and disfiguring trees rthat would have been a pleasure to the eves and would have afforded comifrt able shade for years to come. The court house commission has just recently destroyed the good trees stand ing on the edge of the side walk upon the olea that there were no others on the edge of the side walk in line with it.- Of course it is easier to obtain synm metry by destroying one tree than by setting out a few others in the same lie. The telephone company here has shown a ruthless disregard of the trees n many occasions: for instance, when they cut all of the foliage oil one side of the trees on the east side walk of the ourt house square. On another oea+ on simply and solely to save a few fee:. of wmire when they removed the poe and w ires from the court house grounds they ran the wires across the corner of 1 he'square and cut oiT limbo as big as a man's body high up on one side of the finest t:-ees on the square, a :ree that is still hardy, strong and vigorous, andi that old settlers say was not set out on ( ithe suare but is of original growth and. spare when the town was laid out. The town council in July, went to work to trim up the trees. although trimming a tree in July usually means, we are informed, either death or a last ing injury to the tree. In this trimming hey cut o:f immense limbs close up to the' trunk and made no provision to ward protecting the trees from injury. The town council, in times past,. ini order to clay the streets dug deep ditch-1 es close up on both sides of the center rows of trees, not attempting to protect the trees in any way. They in addition to cutting ol the supply of moisture un der ground. packed the clay tight on the sraeabout the roots of the trees, thus draining the water from around the center row. Now the cry has gone 1up that the center row must be destroy ed and removed because they are dead.1 I said in the beginning that this wasi vandalism. It seems so to me, and I feel'< better for having said what I think about the matter, and I will now keep quiet and stop kicking. H Fowever, in closing I would just make a suggestion: thmt some thought should be given to planting new trees and not entirely to their- destruction. CBARLTON DL-RANT. Turberlle Dots.
