columns of your paper to do a little braging
| or rather speak of the success of our District
school which ended last Friday. Taught
by Mr.. V. C. Brock This was Mr.. Brock 8
first school, but through his indefatigable
energy he made success ard can say he
gave entire satisfaction to all the patrons
and was much likel by al! of his scholars
during the school. Prof. McElroY visited
the school anl as it is our custom on that
day for the patrons of the school to turn
out and with baskets of grub and Granger
style give the childrenS big feast and have
good time generally. which was done, and
hope We will ever do when Nc. puts
his bald head and genial face in our school.
As said Thursday was the last day of the
school term, but Friday WIS spent by
teacher AMI scholars in making preparation
for grand blow out that night in the way
of an exhibition which passed of Pleasantly
and gave the neghborhood pleasant eve
ming entertainment. There was near 40
pieces intersperced with suitable vocal
music by the young folks of the nsighbor-
