School House Dedicated.
Last Friday occurred the dedication
of the new Robert's school house south
east of our city. The building has been
erected at a cost of S1,1S5.00 and is a
model of neatness and stability, being
equipped with modern improvements.
The dedicatory exercises were attend
ed by S. S. Fish, superintendent of
schools and Trustee W. F. Young, of
this city. The surrounding neighbor
hood turned out enmasse to help in these
successful exercise, which we are in
formed were very elaborate.
The school will start with a large
membership, and a successful future is
predicted for the Robert's school.
Fire at the L. E. & W. Depot.
At 1 ;30 p. m. Thursday an alarm called
the members of the lire dept. to the L.
K. Je W. II. Ii. where ablaze had started
in the r of of the hand car house oppo
site the passenger station. As usual the
work of the lire department was prompt
and ellicient and a well directed stream
of water soon extinguished the flames.
It is supposed the tire was caused by a
spark from a passing engine.
After pouring a few hundred gal
lons of tan colored water on the build,
ing the members of the department re
turned, with the laurels of another vic
tory as an added proof of their efficien
cy. The damage is confined to a few
burned shingles, a grindstone which was
about the only thing inside the build
ing being rescued uninjured.

Marching Thro' Georgia.
The initial performance of the stirring
romantic war drama, "Marching Thro
(leorgia" at the opera house last even
ing, was a very creditable amateur pro
duction, and the membeis of Company
!., deserve great credit for their care
fid and concientious work.
The various roles were admirably
sustained throughout the piece, and the
members of the cast show in many in
stances traces of undoubted histrionic
genius. The costuming and staging is
exceptionally gouand very appropriate
and the musical numbers were well re
ceived by a large audience.
Taking all in all, "Marching Thro'
(Jeorgia" is one of the best amateur
productions we have ever had the oppor
tunity to witness. It will be repeated
with the full cast to-night and Saturday
night, and those who did not attend
last evening should not fail to see this
patriotic melo-draina. Turn out and
give the boys of Co. I) a rousing benefit.

With the 4;:h Ohio he was attached
to hei man's army, and at the close of
the war wrote Shermans March
through (leorgia", from personal
remineseences gathered during his four
years of active service. This play he
has produced in all parts of the coun

which has everywhere attended its pro

historic merit.

Cleanliness and Enterprise.
There is no good reason why every
city should not pass stringent ordinan
ces to make the city not only cleanly
and healthful, but also comely and
beautiful. There is no good reason,
why a public feeling of pride and safety
should not be engendered to such a de
gree as to stimulate the enforcement of
such laws in every city. It would only
manifest an earnest purpose to make
the city attractive.
AVhen such a public spirit prevails,
everything progresses. Men are encour
aged to build prettydwellingsandto im
prove all their property in harmony
with the general interest. All feel sure
that if they attempt to make valuable
improvements to the city, that there is
no danger of their neighbor, who per
hapshasnot the artistic taste and wealth
with which they have been favored, will
be permitted to destroy the value of his
improvements by filthy, hideousness
and uncongenial surroundings.

degree of modesty and etiquette in their
