Sunday morning was childrens day at the Curberland Presbyterian church. The building was tasteful- ly and beautifully deeorated with flowers and evergre@n, and the exer- cises of the children which consist- ed of songs and speeches by the | Sunday echool scholars were very nice and entertaining. The build- ing was crowded with spectators and an enjoyable time was had. These exercises are becoming popu- lar of late years in connection with church services and are gaining in interest and favor. | The city council at its last meet- ing passed an ordidance granting the business houses the privilege of one foot of the side walk for exhibits, the rest of the walk is retained for the benefit of the general public. | This week the marshal is enforcing orders and the merchants generally are complying gracefully. It is noth- ing more than right that the citizens should have the benefit of the side walks. Live, energetic and pushing merchants that drive their business to suecess exhibit their wares in the newspapers, consequently they do not want to discommode the public | by obstructions and free use of the pavements. The Children’s day concert given at the Ohio street M. E. church Sun- day evening was one of the most pleasant entertainments of the kind ever given under the auspices of the church in this city. The building was most elaberately and handsome jly decorated with arches of ever- green and flowers, and the cages of canary birds mingling their songs |with those of the children lent an { additional euchantment to the occa |sion which the large audience enjoy- ‘edto the fullest extent.

There was but one graduate of the institution this year, Miss Fannie Orear, who read a weil prepared essay on “After a While.” At the conclusion of the reading of the pap er, behalf of the management of the Acadewy, Hon.

One of the moat important suits before our circuit court for this (term was that of Wm 5S. Hill, vs. / |The Rich Hill Coal Co. This suit was tried Friday and a judgement for $30.575 with 6 per cent interest |from May 31st, 1890, was awarded | Mr. Hill the plaintiff. This suit was ; brought by Mr. Hill to force the ,coal company leertain lands which he them near Rich Hill, several years ago. The Coal company it seems had bargained for the land, and had | gone so far as te prospect a part of it. but finding no coal, refused to take the deeds wnade by Mr. Hill. In June 1890 the dizeetors of the campany met and imade provision for the payment of the laud and took possession of a part of it and held the same until Sept. 25th, when Mr. Gould notitied Mr. Hill the com yhad decided not to take the land. The defense set up the plea that the proceedings leading to the | sale were illegal and veid, that the directors meetings were held with- out notice and were void. that Hill acted at the meetings as one of the directors for the company and sell- ‘er of the land to it and it was void, ‘and that he was speculating off the company and perpetrating a fraud ,on it.
