all leave with kindly feeling toward the
Austin schools, and these teachers may be
assured the best wishes and affectiOnate
regard Of both patrons and pupils will
follow them to their respective localities.

| The TRANSCRIPT is ever watchful
and persistent in making the needs of
Austin and Mower county known. When
we have had rain enough, we are ready
to say so, and when we are ready for
warmer weather we are not afraid to
speak about it. Last week we made
several requests for hot weather, and here
it is. In fact, we have done, at all times
what we could to keep the weather about
as the people want it. We know now
that our people very much desire rain,
and though we are very busy, we shall
do all in our power to hasten the much
needed summer rain.
