EAST WAILINGFORD
The school on Forest Hill, IN Walling-
ford, District No. II, has been taught by
Miss Hattie Hart of East Wallingford,
during the past summer with good success,
and during the term of II weeks the fol-
lowing scholars have not received single
mark for absence or tardiness; Ida White,
Elmer Frost, Minnie Frost, Luna Frost
The average attendance was excellent, very
few absences during the term. Only Eta
Wilmouth was absent on account of sick
ness. The progress made during the term
has been good and the people are unani-
nous in the wishes that Miss Hart may be
engaged for the winter term. The schOl-
ars of the district are to be congratulated
upon the results OF the terms work.
1t is seldom that a teacher succeeds in
giving such excellent satisfaction as has
been given the past term. The scholars
have evidently been taught to think for
themselves which is the true object of in
struction.

crockery for their benefit for the table.

modate in any way that is inihis power SO to
do. May he long be remembered. Mr..
Mahon has got from market some new
goods which he sells at prices to suit the
times, and is coon to have new addition

And our landlord Mr.. j. p. Powell spared
no pains in having in readiness fer his
guests 90 both days of the fair, every thing
