J udge Brown said he was not feel ing well and the usual charge to the grand jury was dispensed with. Sit ting in the same place only a few months ago he had defined the duties of the grand jury and called atten tion to the various crimes and mis demeanors of which they were to take cognizance and he did not think it was necessary to do so again at this time. He spoke toan intelligent body of men who knew their duty and knowing it he was willing to trust them to do it. Solicitor Daniels was present as State's prosecutor. The following cases have been disposed of so far, the docket being about clear either by trial or continuance: Willie Bailey and W. C. Ross, af fray. Guilty as to Bailey, 4 months in jail. Not guilty as to Ross. Charlie Lowry "and John Burton, negro, affray. Guilty as to Burton, judgment suspended upon his taking the insolvent debtor's oath. Not guilty as to Lowry.

Judg ment suspended on pajment of costs in consideration of his having been in jail two months and promise to leave the Sta te. Eugene Longmire and Gibbons Longmire, larcency. Guilty. This case occupied most of the court's time yesterday. It was past the usual time for adjournment when the speeches concluded and the jury re tired to make up their verdict. Just before the jury tookhe case Eugene Longmire, the older of the two, who was under bond and not in the cus tody of the sheriff, walked out of the court house telling one of his lawyers that lie would be back in a few min utes. But he has not returned yet and the presumption is that he will not, voluntarily, since the verdict of the jury is against him. . . - - You Know What You Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic because the formula is plainly printed on every bottle showing: that it is Bimply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form.

The Board of Trustees of the Hen derson Graded Schools met in regu lar annual session Monday for the purpose of electing teachers for the ensuing year, filling vacancies.on the Board and the transaction of such other business as should come up for consideration. After paying the su perintendent, teachers and others it was found that there was money enough left to pay off the debt on the school building, $1,838,72. This was ordered done, the money was paid over Tuesday and the school is free from debt. After receiving the Superintendent's report the terms of C. A. Lewis, J. L. Currin and G. A. Rose expiring by limitation (they having been elected members of the Board for t wo years) the old Board adjourned. As then constituted by the other six mem bers the Board met again and re elected C. A. Lewis and J. L. Currin and elected J. D. Cooper to succeed G. A. Rose, each for a term of six years. The newly elected members were notified and accepted. An or ganization was then effected by the election of D. Y. Cooper, president, (Dr. Hufham being away) A. C. Zol licoffer, vice-president; J. L. Currin, secretary. The Board asked the County Com missioners to make a levy of 15 cents on the one hundred dollarsval uation of property. It is now 1G, and this produced enough to run the school and pay off the debt on the building. It is believed therefore that 15 cents will be sufficient to run the school well, and it is not the pur pose of the Board to make the tax any higher than is necessary. The election of a, superintendent and teachers was then gone into and practically the same persons as the school corps was constituted last session were re-elected, as follows: Superintendent Prof. J. T. Alder man. First Grade Miss Maud Jones. Second Grade Miss Birdie Watson. Third Grade Miss Leona Currin. Fourth Grade Miss Jessie Page. Fifth Grade Miss Amv Butler. Sixth Grade Not filled.' Seventh Grade Miss Nettie El more. Eighth Grade Not filled. Business Course Prof. W. R. Mills. Mrs. Garden, teacher of the Sixth Grade being sick she did not file an application and the place was left open for the present. Miss 'Lila Tucker formerly taught the Eighth Grade but gave up the work on account of her health. After resting awhile she has been teaching part of the time the balance of the time being filled out between Mr. R. H. Hood and Prof. Mills. Mrs. W. D. Horner was re-elected teacher of the South Henderson school and Misses Lucy Ihivis and Mary Bell Gary North Henderson. All the colored teachers were re elected to their several respective po sitions. The law requires that every teach er in a public school shall attend some summer school. To that end the Board will allow $15.00 to each white teacher and $10.00 to each colored teacher who wishes to avail himself or herself of this, said sum to be added to their first month's sal- try. The finance committee was in structed to get up a report to be made to the County Board of Edu cation, said report to be also pub- ished in some newspaper. The Superintendent was instructed to prepare a report on the condition of the schools and the work done the past year and publish same. Too Great a Risk. In almost every neighborhood someone has died from an attack of colic or cholera mor bus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhooea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suf fering than any other medicine in use. It can always be depended upon.

The "talent" was composed of boys and girls from the Henderson Graded School, and they were drilled by their teachers. This had been done without inter fering with their regular studies and as it was in the inidst of reviewing and standing examinations for pro motion it was all the more difficult of accomplishment.
