The girls of the Baptist church are arranging to have a poverty party in the near future. From the description we have had so far, we see nothing to prevent it from suc ceeding.

Everybody is cordially invited to attend at every service. Miss Mattie Gulley is sick with ma laria fever. Miss Maie is teaching in her stead until she is able to re sume her duties. We learn that Mr. Milliard Ilin nant, who was with Mr. W. A. Barnes last fall, will begin with him again October 1st. Messrs.

Report of Asylum Board. The Asylum Board sent their re port on the investigation of affairs in general at the Central Hospital and the Nail case in particular to the Governor yesterday. The Board finds things in pretty good shape and exonerates Superin tendent McKee. As to the Nail case, the Board turns the evidence over to the Gov ernor and refrains from expressing an opinion, fearing that they might prejudice the case against the four attendants, they now being in the hands of the law for trial, or that they might embarrass the State in the prosecution of the aforesaid defendants.
