Last Friday, August 10, witnessed the closing exercises of the singing school taught during the first two weeks in this month, and. conducted by the accommodating Profs. A. J. TABOR and H. A. JOLLY. This last day was profitably and pleasantly spent in singing and entertaining visitors, and also in consuming a nice and wholesome dinner served by the patrons and students of the school, which. Was handsomely.spreadjust .in front of . the school house door in a most convenient and beautiful place. The opening >exercises were some songs rendered by the class,andall visitors who wished to take part and led by Prof. TABOR. After numerous leaders were called .on to lead songs, .and. all responded to the requirement, we got quite hungry and 12 o'clock came just in time to satisfy us. Then the dinner, previously mentioned was spread, and after Bro. TABOR returned thanks, a general good time was had, from which satisfactory results were reached, that is, all ate plenty. Afterdinner, singing was resumed andinconsequence of dinner, more lively strains of music than ever were. poured forth from the assemblage of vocalists in a most hearty manner. One important feature. of the day's program was the singing of quartette music as a specialty for the class,and others in attendance. One quartette composition, worded. by Mr. ACKLAND of College, who was a pupil, deserves special mention. These excellentwords were written in behalfofthe teachers and dedicated to them. On appreciationofthe respect shown by the pupils and obediencetoall rules of school, the teachers . heartily thanked their students for their ready compliance. with all requirements. It is earnestly hoped that Rock Prairie will ever remember this favor by these two young teachers and that there will sometime be a chance. to return the favor.

NORRELL -Whol~sale and Retail Druggist A large and well established mercantile business pulsating with the energy and life that 108 created it is one of . the most pleasing .spectacles met within the world of interchanging values and products. It teaches volumes upon character, industry, economy and perseverance, and may be studied for hours with profits. Such a business .has grown up in our midst under the brain and hand of Mr. Geo. W. NORRELL. Mr. NORRELL was born in Rankin county, Miss, in 1853 and graduated from the Brandon High school in 1867. He was engaged in teaching school from this time until 1870, when he came toTexas and located in Bryan. He clerked during the first six years of his residence here studying pharmacy in the meantime at night and during leisure hours. In 1876 he began the drug business in partnership with Dr.J. P. MITCHELL, and two years later became sole proprietorofthe house and has so continued since.

He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and takes an active interest in all local affairs. * * * * * T. C. NUNN- Sheriff Texas is famed far and wide for the splendid material she possesses everywhere in the personalities of her sheriffs. Most. of them are cool, courageous, level-headed and conservative, but determined to a degree that brooks no dilly-dallying or monkey business when they are on duty upholding the law and chasing malefactors. It took such men .as this to rescue the Lone Star State from the recklessness and crime always attendant upon settling a new country, and they have indeed done their work well. LarryCHITLENDEN, "The Poet Ranchman," has immortalized the typical Texas sheriff in verse. The Sheriffs association isnowone of the leading and effective organizationsofthe state. SheriffT. G. NUNN of Brazos county isone ofthe best officers in Texas beyond a doubt, and a leading member of the association. He was born in Burleson county, Jan. 28, 1854, atthe town of Lexington, and came with his father to Brazos county aBhe age of.12 years. He was raised on a ranch and has followed the stock business all his life. He went "up the trail" and spent eight or nine years in the west, NeVi Mexico, Arizona,\Nyomingandldaho.
