They are not saying much as fo their trip. "We presume they want to get together and fix up a story that all will agree on. We learned this much, however, that the car containing their previsions did not arrive at the fishing grounds until the day they left, and consequently they had no lx>ats to fish from and nothing to eut. They managed to catch enough Imwpvpr. to keen the wolf from the door. They say they caught enough to eat, but brought none home. Mr. Connor is credited with catching the biggest fish. ?The closing exeicise3 of the Fairfield Normal Institute (a colored school in charge ot the iicv. I. D.

They came home on Wednesday morning, and won't tell what they did. We presume they are reserving their fish stories until they hear from the other crowd, as this party consisted of j the entire staff of commissioned officers of the Gordons, and as the Gordons can't be downed, there is no use for the ether crowd to try. We are banking 011 the Killians crowd telling the biggest. The children's contribution to the Davis monument trill nott of course, include the finids to be raised bn the aroint people.

Thompson, who is at present in charge of the State Lunatic Asylum, is a native of Fairfield County, having been born and raised in the New Hope section. Governor Tillman could not do a better thing than to make Dr. Thompson's appointment a permanent one. Death.?Mrs. Thompson (mother of Dr. J. L.
