We have not as yet learned whether
the directors Of Franklin will allow their
teachers this year any days to attend the
County Teachers Institute at Weatherly or
not but hope, IL they haye not decided,
they will do so at once, so that we, as teach
ers, may be aware of the fact in time, and
make arrangement at once to be present

have not as yet finished husking corn.
Big Creek was well represented at the
election poll at East Wessport on Tuesday

Tho number Of persons travelling
through the county and living by their wits,
is unusually large just now. All sorts of
dodgos are resorted to in order to filch mon

people. Farmers be on the alert for them,
and when they call on you give them a
warm reception with No. or 8.
We are panied to learn that Mrs. Solo.
mon Walck, Of Walcksville, was so unfor-
tunate as to receive several severe injuries
from falling down fight of stairs while on
a visit to her son, who resides at Paekerton
short time ago. She was removed to her
home at once, and medical aid summoned
She is doing as well as can expected under
the circumstances. We hope for her speedy
recovery.
The Walcksville school opened on Mon.

tutor. This is Mr. Markley's first term a

able and encounter no difficulty.

The teachers of Franklin have decideC
to re-organize the franklin Literary societ,
this winter. The place of fholding the meet
ings has not yet been definitely fixed, bu
we presume it will be at Moria Furnac
school house, as that is more centrally 10
Gated than any other house in the dstric
and easier of access from all parts. Fellow
teachers this is a move in the right direction
and we are sure with such men at the heat
of it as Prof. j. F. Snyder, Messrs. C. A
Buck, W. E. Kemerer, Thos. J.. Solt, Rober
Miller, ]. Lewis Buck and others it is bount
TO be success. All the teachers of Frank
lin and adjoining districts are requested t
meet at the school house at Moria Furnace
on Friday evening, Nov. IL, at o'clock, 70
the purpose of organizing. Let every teach
er be present on this occasion. REVERE.
