The ice is holding his own here.
We are having plenty of Icelandic
weather.
The young folks have enjoyed
themselves finely during the week
skating.
The weather looks very forebode-
ing. We have had great deal Of
weather lately TO say the least of it,
We learn that Mr.. James Biffle of
this place intends to remove to Faux
ner county ere long. Hope he may
have a pleasant time.
Messrs r. c. and jeff Harton of
Faulkner county have been visiting
friends and relatives here during the
past week. Come again gentlemen
and stay longer.
Mr.. l. N. eagle, our energetic. gin
ner informs us that he has put up
about two hundred and twenty I've
bales of cotton to date and is not
done yet. A very good showing.
We notice several students from
the vicinity of Slick this county in
our school. We are glad to note the
schools Improvement and sincerely
hope that it will go on improving
until it gains the reputation it de-
serves.
Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather we learn that several
of the young men of this place are
sadly affected with the matrimonial
fever" This weather has bad eff
feet on that particular malady. When
YOU see man walking around look
ing like a Greenback convention,
don't if you value your life ask him
what ails him, 1t is self evident
fact that he has been trying the
strength of the ice with his head.
Prof. Hendrickson informs us that
he intends to organize Teachers
Association in the near future for
this county, and wants the hearty
co. operation of every teacher IN the
work. There is no teacher but what
would be benefited by belonging to
such an Association. We hope eve
ry teacher in Pope county will take
an interest in the matter. He wants
, the address Of every teacher in the
county. Address G. r. Hendrick-
son, Caglesville, Ark.
Our High school is progressing
finely. Prof. Hendrckson informs
us that lie has fifty students on roll,
a good number of which came from
adjoining districts. There are only
three more weeks of the present
session, but we are informed that he
will take up another session as soon
as this one is out. We wish him
the best of success in the laudable
efforts he is making towards educa-
ting the children Of this place. We
would be glad to see more interest
taken IN the school in this vicinity
than seems to be, for we think it
truly merits it.
With our skipping compliments to
the Editor we will close. More anon.
