An elocu tionist has been engaged, and we expect to bear something fine.

The best musicians in town will do the musical part of the programme, so that it can not be otherwise than good. Teachers cannot do good work without a re ference library. The Markle school has a high school course, and it is not furnished so much as a dictionary in the library line. Everyone in town should show their appreciation of this effort to start a library by attending the concert.

The storm of Thursday evening interfered somewhat with th attendance at the entertainment giv by the Riley company at the opera hou that evening, yet a good house was present. The play brought out was Piqu, the first time it waa ever presented here.

It was well produced in every particular, and contained much that was amusing as well as pathetic We have heid only praises of it since Us rendition. The opera house was filled, Friday night, with persons anxious to hear the Riley company in the play of "Our Bachelors." The drama is oi an ceediuglv comical nature, and the marine i in ich the various parts were brought out. kept the spectators in a continued good humor and caused roars of laughter. The audience at the opera house Saturday evening to hear the Riley company's rendition of "Our American Cousin." was larger than that of any previous eveuing. and ao lar as we can learn was well pleased with the play.

The troupe did a good business while here, and became prime favorites with ou people They lett for Kokomo Monday morniDg. A Pig in a Box. The office of city marshal has not been a veiy busy one since the election. Republicans have been too happy to engage in any broils, and our friends, the enemy, have been casting about too much to know what hurt them. Then with the near approach of Thanksgiving, the remainder of mankind have been so busy considering the things for which Ihey should be thankful that everything has been peaceful and lovely.

In this state of affairs it is but natural that the city marshal should look to the bogs to nfford him some relief, and if perchance one should be caught as an estray, to the pound it should go, and thus would the officer be enabled to receive a fee. But since the fair. even the pigs have been cautious and none have appeared in the streets there to brave the ferocious marshal things wore a gloomy aspect, the lowering clouds bore mournful fore bodings to the city marshal; all nature seemed to him to wear a dreary aspect. But one bright ray of hope comes; the silver ining appears in a little spot, no uigger than a punched half dollar, but it is a hope. It is a little beam of sunshine through the slightest imag niable rift in the clouds.

It was Monday evening, and standing on the corner of Market and JeSerson streets. Marshal Rosebrough beard the grunt of a hog. It was the faintest, slightest grunt, nevertheless to the practiced and educated ear of the officer it was none the less a veritable grunt of a genuine hog. Again it comes, and clearer and more distinct. There can be no mistaking it now, and gathering up a posse the official declares for a thorough search and in slats that at length a fee will be his Diiligentiy the search is kept up.

From alley to alley, from street to street, from vacant lot to vacant lot. the procession moves in solemn array, ail eagerly searching, the marshal leading, his face all aglow with expectancy. Now, they near the express office, and the grunts grow louder and more certain. Every breath is almost hushed for fear of frightening away the prey. Now can be seen the bright, shiny eys of the victim, glimmering like the silvery sheen of the stars.

The reward of the search is almost in reach. All that remains is to surround his hogshlp and drive him to pound, and a flank movement is com manded, but just prior to its execution, the object of the search pokea his long nose through the bars of a box, and with a tremendous grunt, drives consternation to the heart of the marshal 1 The animal was shipped to the city and was safely caged, awaiting at the express office the arrival ot the person to whom he was consigned! And the fees have not tickled the palms of the marshal, and the bog has not yet been impounded I The regular social of the Young Peoples' missionary society of the Presbyterian church will meet at the homeof Miss Effle evening, the 26th. A literary and musical programme has also been arranged, and an interesting and profitable occasion is assured. A. collection will also be taken, a fact all are requested to remember.
