Lacrosse sticks are made by the Canadian Indians and are used to play the Canadian game of “Lacrosse.” Mr Carswell thinks of getting up a lacrosse club for Waycross. “Kyphosis hicyelistarum” is not as bad as looks. It is merely a crook in the back of a bicycle rider who carries his head between his knees when riding. There Is no known for a bad cose.

The writing pupils at Kettle Creek church have made the most gratifying progress in penmanship during the first three weeks of the term. Miss Minnie Jeffords, a beautiful and accomplished young lady, and Mr. T. J. Wilkinson have made the best improvement in penmanship. An elegant prize is to be awarded to the pupil making the best im provement during the terra.
