to Glass Valley for burial. The deceased

meeting OF the Reading Circle
Cor River Falls will be held at the
residence of Miss Ida Nelson next
Monday evening. All teachers ana
other persons wishing to join the Cir
Gle are requested to be present at that
meeting. The textbooks on the
Course OF Study" have been receiv-
ed aud will be sold to anyone holding
a certificate of membership at publish
er's prices. Let it lie borne in mind
that this Reading Circle, though pri-
marily intended for teachers, and
drawing largely upon the teaching
fraternity for members, by no means
requires the profession of teaching as
a qualification for membership. Any
person interested in self-culture and
wishing TO pursue the prescribed
course Of study may join the Circle
and it is hoped that many citizens Of
River Falls will deem it an advantage
to become members and will help
make the Circle success.
