Visits from four members of the Board,

i have no recommendations to make, be-
yOnd a request for needed repairs to the
windows of the basement of the Colored
School building, and If you deem it advis-
able to have the roof on the west sid e of the
Howell examined. The last heavy rain
suggested that it would be well before the
storms of late fall and winter, to have the
leak thoroughly repaired. l must also re-
quest of the Board the appointment of a
n committee on the course of Instruction to
act during the year.
With regard to vaccination, report that
we have about seventy in the Primary OF
the Howell and about fifty in the Primary
of the Colored School who are unvaccina-
ted. Such steps as the Board may suggest
in view of the facts win be faithfully car
ried out.
In conclusion, / can only say that the

with desire to do the best work they can,

above, only faithful effort is needed to make
this thoroughly successful school year.

Of Christians known as Ascenslonists
we're having grand revival. One day
when the meeting was in full force a
storm came up, and young gentleman
who was out hunting with his servant
took refuge in the church door. Being
curious to see the service. the two hunt
ers crept up into the gallery, and there
hid in place where they could observe
without being observed.
"Come, Lord. come; our robes are
ready. Come, Lord, come" cried the
preacher, while all present gave loud
"Amen."
"Marsa Gabe," whispered Cuffy,
lifting his hunting-horn to his mouth,
"let me glib dem jist one toot."
"Put that horn down, or I'll break
your head" replied the master, in a
whisper.
The horn dropped by Cufy's side,
and again The minister cried: "Come,
Lord, come; we are all ready for thy
coming. Come. Lord, come"
DO, Marsa Gabe-do jist lemme glib

ting his lips and raising the horn.
''H you don't drop that horn, Cuffy,
I'll whip yon within an inch of your
life" whispered the exasperated master.
